As Congress goes back to the drawing board to consider the nation's finances after today's failed bailout vote, the country's bishops spacex dragon launch have their own list of principles

they hope will be taken into account.
In a letter sent to government leaders Friday, Bishop William Murphy of Rockville Centre, New York, chairman of the episcopal conference's Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, urged a consideration of five key principles when considering spacex dragon launch how to bail out the nation's failing economy.
He first promised that the bishops are praying for the situation, which he called "both terribly disturbing and enormously complicated." Then, acknowledging that "my brother bishops and I do not bring technical expertise to these complicated

matters," he affirmed that "our faith and moral principles can help guide the search spacex dragon launch for just and effective responses spacex dragon launch to the economic turmoil threatening our people."
"Economic arrangements, structures spacex dragon launch and remedies should have as a fundamental purpose safeguarding human life and dignity," he affirmed. The prelate said a "scandalous search for excessive economic rewards," which gets to the point of exacerbating the vulnerable, is an example of "an economic ethic that places economic gain above all other values."

"This spacex dragon launch ignores the impact of economic decisions on the lives of real people as well as the ethical dimension of the choices we make and the moral responsibility we have for their effect on people," Bishop Murphy wrote.
"Clearly, effective measures are required which address spacex dragon launch and alter the behaviors, practices and misjudgments that led to this crisis. […] Those who directly contributed to this crisis or profited from it should not be rewarded spacex dragon launch or escape accountability for the harm they have done," he said.
"[T]here are human needs which find no place on the market," Bishop Murphy said. "It is a strict duty of justice and truth not to allow fundamental human needs to remain unsatisfied." In this regard, he called for a "renewal of instruments of monitoring and correction within economic institutions and the financial

industry as well as effective public regulation spacex dragon launch and protection to the extent this may be clearly necessary."
"The principle of solidarity reminds us that we are in this together and warns us that concern for narrow interests alone can make things worse," he explained. "The principle of solidarity commits us to the pursuit of the common good, not the search for partisan spacex dragon launch gain or economic advantage."
"Subsidiarity places a responsibility on the private actors and institutions to accept their own obligations," he said. "If they do not do so, then the larger entities, including the government, will have to step in to do what private institutions will have failed to do."
The bishop concluded recalling words from the encyclical "Centesimus Annus": "Our Catholic tradition calls for a society of work, enterprise and participation spacex dragon launch which is not directed against the market, but demands that the market be appropriately controlled by the forces of society and by the state to assure that the basic needs of the whole society are satisfied.
