Everyone must know of the importance of this issue; the Catholic Church must again confront usury and make clear clarifications, for the good of everyone. Fr. Hunter was right to endorse your book. I haven't finished it, but so far it has been very revealing. Mr. Keiser indeed has been obfuscating the issue, bringing up other issues not involved at all.Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21240636.post-76880262431928356932012-12-12T15:13:35.791-08:002012-12-12T15:13:35.791-08:00Dear Paul

Denis Fahey did a commendable job exposing the Money Power, given his resources, but inevitably, some of his sources were wrong, especially the one concerning Calvin's distinction between non-productive and productive loans.

I am by no means an authority in this area and did not specifically investigate it, but from what I came across in the course of researching usury in Western Christendom, I was surprised to see allegations from more than one source that interest on money was not an issue in the Orthodox Church -- which means, presumably, after the eleventh century, i.e. after the break with Rome, when the formal institutional entity of the Orthodox assumed its ecclesiastical structure.<br />Michael Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485741729327325322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21240636.post-7588060376670206642012-10-21T16:13:39.627-07:002012-10-21T16:13:39.627-07:00I really look forward to your book, Mr. Hoffman.
