Reflection after the reading of the office for the Third Hour in the Synod Aula, Vatican City, October 11, 2010.

"We think of the great powers of the present day, of the anonymous financial interests which turn men into slaves, which are no longer human things, but are an anonymous power which men serve, by which men are tormented and even slaughtered. They [i.e., anonymous financial interests] are a destructive power, a power that menaces the world."^1a GNOSTICS JOHN PAUL II

Holy See, 1 July, 2009.

On July 1, 2009, Pope Benedict XVI addressed a special greeting to representatives of the Italian National Anti-Usury Consultancy

"My hope is that there be a renewed commitment on everyone's part effectively to combat the devastating phenomenon of usury and extortion, which constitutes a humiliating form of slavery. On the part of the State may there be no lack of appropriate aid and support for families in difficulties who find the courage to denounce those who take advantage of their often tragic situation."^1b JOHN PAUL II

Holy See, 23 November, 2005.

"Your presence in such large numbers gives me the opportunity to express my heartfelt appreciation for the courageous and generous activity you carry out in support of the families of people hit by the deplorable social plague of usury. I hope that many people will stand alongside you to support your worthy commitment in the field of prevention, solidarity and education."^1c JOHN PAUL II
