In this powerful episode of The Catholic Money Show, Amanda and Jonathan take us back to one of the most pivotal Church documents on economic life: Rerum Novarum by Pope Leo XIII.
🕊️ Originally published in 1891, Rerum Novarum laid the groundwork for Catholic Social Teaching—and its message remains more relevant than ever.
Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:
- 💰 Why the Church upholds both private property and the dignity of workers
- ⚖️ The role of the state and employers in creating a just society
- 🙏 How Catholics can use these teachings in modern economic life—whether you’re running a household, a business, or both
Jonathan and Amanda share real-world applications of this 130+ year-old document, showing how Catholic teaching provides clarity in a culture of confusion.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- Is it okay to make good money as a Catholic?
- How should I think about fair wages or job burnout?
- What’s the balance between hustle and holiness?
…this episode is for you.
“The Church doesn’t reject wealth—but it does reject the misuse of it. Rerum Novarum reminds us that economic life should be rooted in justice, dignity, and responsibility.”
— Jonathan Teixeira, The Catholic Money Show
