"Therefore, we must not throw away riches that can also help others, because they are possessions insofar as they are owned, and riches insofar as they are useful and provided by God for men to use: they are available and subject to men as materials and instruments, so that those who are capable may make good use of them. If you use a tool skilfully, it can produce works of art, but if you lack skill, it takes advantage of your lack of skill, through no fault of its own! Wealth is also a tool of this kind. You can use it in the right way: then it is at the service of justice. If you use it in the wrong way, then it becomes a minister of injustice, because by its nature it is at the service, not in command. One must not therefore blame something that in itself contains neither good nor evil, because it is not at fault, but rather what in itself can make good or bad use of things, depending on the object of its choices. This reality is human thought, inasmuch as it has within itself a free capacity for judgement and the faculty of self-determination in dealing with given things. Therefore, do not let possessions disappear, but rather the passions that prevent the best use of what one has, so that, with honesty and dignity, also these creatures may be used. Renouncing everything we have and selling it should be understood as if it were said about the passions of the soul."
