As Christians and Catholics, the one thing we all share in common is our desire to live an eternal life in heaven with God our Father. Catholic Capitalism is written for every person who walks out of church and starts to wonder, “What should I do now?” By presenting our common experiences and needs in language that we all speak and understand, we are invited into a discussion about how the integration of faith, family, and everyday choices about our work in a capitalist economy can lead to a better life and a closer relationship with God.
Description
As Christians and Catholics, the one thing we all share in common is our desire to live an eternal life in heaven with God our Father. Catholic Capitalism is written for every person who walks out of church and starts to wonder, “What should I do now?” By presenting our common experiences and needs in language that we all speak and understand, we are invited into a discussion about how the integration of faith, family, and everyday choices about our work in a capitalist economy can lead to a better life and a closer relationship with God. Attorney and businessman, Richard Hirtreiter details one of the best-kept secrets of the Church, Catholic Social Doctrine, in an intimate discussion of how the practice of our faith can lead us to positive and creative solutions for the questions that we all face in everyday life. This is a work that can help a person to find their true human purpose in life with the confidence that they are remaining committed to their faith. It is a personal message and it is written just for you to guide you in everyday life. When you open your eyes and see, and open your ears and hear the messages of love, peace, hope, strength, and eternal life, you will find that you become a changed person. By accepting the principles that were taught to us by Jesus Christ and incorporated into Catholic Social Doctrine, we are empowered to live as Christians and follow a path toward the promise of eternal life. Everyone seeks a form of personal fulfillment that is unique to him or herself. This is the path to integral human development. In the practice of our Christian and Catholic faith, there enters certainty and a feeling of personal liberation. This profound liberation is in our sense of relation to God and we find it when we purposely choose to live our life in dedicated commitment to the Word of Jesus Christ.
