Written By: Victoria Sechrist Bitcoin has hit record highs in the last couple of months. It begs the question: Is it here to stay? Should Catholics take notice? Will this affect the Church at some point? Bitcoin is a global digital currency, also known as a cryptocurrency. You can use your U.S. Dollars or any […]
Many churches don’t talk about personal finances unless there is a need for increased giving. Yet the spiritual impact of debt is clear: Financial challenges can ruin marriages, leading to divorce. A family wants to send the kids to Catholic school, but can’t afford the tuition because there are other places where their money is […]
In all the parishes we have visited all over the world, there have only been two or three times when the priest gave a homily on responsible spending and the benefits of avoiding debt. But when he did preach on that subject, he had the full, rapt attention of the congregation. After all, money is […]
