The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has a site on economic life, which is more relevant and directs us in these trying times: http://www.usccb.org/jphd/economiclife/
In particular, they released 10 statements on what a Catholic's economic life should look like: http://www.usccb.org/jphd/economiclife/pdf/a-catholic-framework-for-economic-life.pdf
Also, my friend K informed me that Pope Benedict XVI will soon be releasing an encyclical on finance/economics. Can't wait to read it!

New Direction Of Blog
So, it's been many a month since I last posted. The S&P500 has been gaining steadily from it's low of 666.79 in early March to over 940 in mid June. That's over a 30% gain. Sadly, I didn't go all in at around 700, but bought small quantities steadily during this time.
Anyways, I've been thinking that it might be easier to keep writing if I combine both faith and my interest in finance. Something that I've wanted to do for some time is to start looking at what the Bible says about money management and how to handle your finances. Which is why I want to start hunting for passages and tidbits around the net that could shed light on how we are to act regarding this world of moolah.
