La economía y las finanzas en Evangelii gaudium: Una reflexión sobre algunas reacciones en Estados Unidos desde la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia

Abstract

The Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii gaudium (EvG) has been positively received by public opinion. However, the paragraphs on Economy have raised some critizism in the United States. A tendency to make a political reading of the magisterium on social issues, a particular problem with the translation, and the stile and aim of the document are some of the factors which have influenced in various ways the understanding of those paragraphs. This article presents the main points of the message of EvG on the current economic system in light of previous Catholic Social Teaching. Then some reactions to this document in the United States are presented and analyzed. Finally, the author draws five conclusions.
