Usury: the Science of Shylock

The Church’s teaching against usury has been infallibly defined and confirmed over and over again, but especially in the Papal Letter of Benedict XIV known as Vix Pervenit. In that encyclical, the pope stated: The nature of the sin called usury has its proper place and origin in a loan contract … [which] demands, by its very nature, that one return to another only as much as he has received. The sin rests on the fact that sometimes the creditor desires more than he has given…but any gain which exceeds the amount he gave is illicit and usurious. A lender has the right to be made whole…to be compensated for services and the effects of inflation…but he is not allowed to make a direct profit…or gain…upon the loan itself. The Holy Bible is very clear on this point. The Book of Exodus, for example, reads: If you lend money to one of your poor neighbors among My People, you shall not act like an extortioner toward him by demanding interest from him. The Psalms and the Prophets confirm this prohibition. King David wrote: Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?…He that does not ask interest on his loan. And Ezekiel added: The upright man is law-abiding and honest…He never charges usury on loans, takes no interest, abstains from evil…It is Yahweh who speaks. Usury is always the main cause of economic collapse. Usury is the root cause of business cycles…of rapid expansion and rapid contraction…of Bull and Bear Markets…and always guarantees the concentration of wealth and mammon in the hands of a few. Usury is the cause of countries being unable to pay their bills. Since 1950, the US Federal government has paid more than $10 trillion dollars in interest using the value the dollar today. It is compound interest that has bankrupted virtually every nation in the developed world. Making usury illegal would virtually eliminate many of these evils and would guarantee a wider distribution of ownership and wealth in society. The debt would be one-third of its current size without usury. Furthermore, without usury, money could be used in more productive ways as investment and could produce a just profit. Only when Shylocks are once again despised and unjust interest and profit are taken out of the lending process will sanity and justice return to the field of lending and borrowing.

The incentive is just being good at heart, you shouldn’t lend money and expect to make a living off that. Simple, it might keep the economy small but it insures that REAL wealth is being produced

@aquagorilla 2 года назад

I think you meant to say “lender” and “lend” instead of “borrower” and “borrow” i.e. what incentive does the lender (issuer) of the loan (money) have if they are not to receive any interest i.e. excess on the loan amount in return? The answer to that revolves around undertanding the difference between a monetary loan contract and other forms of contracts. With a monetary loan contract that charges interest, the interest is being gained strictly from the issuance of the money. There is no investment, risk sharing, or concern with whatever endeavor the borrower will undertake to earn back the principle AND the interest. Note that money is being lent - not a pair of oxen to plow land, or a drill to dig a well - but money, a representation of value used to facilitate exchange of goods/services. Therein lies the unnatural, sinful, parasitic aspect of usury. Money doesn’t beget money. We shouldnt’t forget that all wealth ultimately comes as provision from God, the creator of the Heavens and the Earth. Rather than charge interest on a monetary loan, a lender can instead provide the loan amount as an investment into whatever endeavor the borrower will undertake to generate wealth that (hopefully) will provide in return to the lender an amount greater than the initial investment amount (positive ROI). Thereby, the lender makes gain not strictly upon the issuance of the money, but as shareholder of the wealth-generating endeavor. As such, the lender is also assuming risk beyond just the monetary the loan. Usury is an abomination of Satan. Christendom reached its greatest heights of material success AND moral purity by recognizing usury for the evil, sinful abomination that it is and rightfully prohibiting it.

Receiving any amount of interest is sin. I am guilty, too, because the escrow account at my credit union pays me a few dollars of interest.

@CatholicK5357 2 года назад

@@widehotep9257 I'm not so sure. In looking into it further, think Catholic Answers gives a pretty convincing answer as to why receiving interest today is not the same as it was based on the difference in how money works in our current economy. If it were sin it could only be venial. The Church has to allow for a way for the average working man to provide for his family which includes savings. The problem is that without being able to have interest in a system that relies on inflation, no one could save any money. I am not saying that the current system is good, and obviously it was not designed by Catholics. But if remaining in the world we do have to use the worlds tools. Earning interest on savings is also different than earning it on a loan. The bank is taking your money and investing it into businesses. That puts your money at risk. The interest is from profit which is a reward for the risk, since one can also lose the money invested. I think the bigger issue is in knowing where the money is being invested, since most companies are evil. Gratefully, the Knights of Columbus now has a few ETFs for Catholic approved companies.

@@CatholicK5357 Modern Catholic leadership now allows paying and receiving interest. But for the first 1500 years of the church, this was completely forbidden. Charging any amount of interest was considered a high crime, similar to murder and armed robbery. Usury was forbidden because of clear commandments by God in the Old Testament, as well as Jesus telling us to loan freely and forgive loans that cannot be repaid. The change started in 1515 when Pope Leo X suddenly allowed usury. His real name was "Medici" and he was from a super-rich Italian loanshark family from Florence. An excellent book exposing this heresy is "Usury in Christendom" by Michael Hoffman. We have all been deceived.

@CatholicK5357 2 года назад

@@widehotep9257 I understand the concept of interest on a loan being usury. But that is not the same as interest on investment. With investment the interest is reward for risk, and a sharing in profits. Investing into businesses and other peoples businesses has to my understanding always been allowed. The reason that interest/shared profit is allowed on business investments is because the person borrowing is using it for the purpose of trying to make a profit. It is not a desperate need of the poor. It would be unfair for someone to borrow money from you, make a profit from that, and then neither give you your money back or any of the profit. It is a separate matter. The money in this case is being used for something productive and not for exploitation. There is a problem also with saying that Pope Leo X's real name was "Medici". What you likely mean is that was his former name. When someone becomes Pope he takes on a new name, just as when someone takes vows in religion to my understanding. And that new name is his new real name. I am not denying that he changed the rules, but I simply don't think those rules have ever applied to business investment loans. I will look into the book, thank you.

@widehotep9257 2 года назад

@@CatholicK5357 Business investment and business profits were clearly allowed by the Church. But loaning money or anything else at interest was completely forbidden by the Church prior to 1515. Hoffman documents all of this in "Usury in Christendom," citing countless decrees, papal bulls, church records, etc. People were excommunicated for charging any amount of interest, and their estates were seized upon death with their wills being nullified. To gain reentry into the Church, usurers were required to repay any and all money they'd received as interest to the borrowers or the heirs of the borrowers. These rules applied to personal loans, business loans, etc. There were no exceptions for business investing. I may be wrong, but I believe it was allowed to invest in businesses for a fixed percentage of profits, like receiving dividends from a stock. In these situations, investors only receive profit if the venture is successful, but get nothing if the venture fails. This arrangement is quite different from usury where endless compound interest must be constantly paid regardless of the company's success. "Thou shall not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury." -Deuteronomy 23:19 KJV.

Risk is the difference. You risk not getting your money back if the company does not create more value. Interest is zero risk, all reward, and so money is being created out of thin air, and so the value of over all money decreases = inflation.

Exodus 22:25 “If you loan money to my people, to the poor among you, don’t be like a creditor to them and don’t impose interest on them.” 4. Deuteronomy 23:19 Do not charge a fellow Israelite interest, whether on money or food or anything else that may earn interest. You may charge a foreigner interest, but not a fellow Israelite, so that the LORD your God may bless you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess. 5. Leviticus 25:36 Do not take interest or any profit from them, but fear your God, so that they may continue to live among you. 6.

If charging interest were not legitimate, why would Jesus have used the example of money-lending as a legitimate way to increase capital?

This makes no sense. If you are a small business owner and need a loan, who is going to give you one, just to get back the same money you borrowed, with just inflation added? That's not going to give anyone incentive to let you borrow. It does not make sense. Yes, as a nice thing to do, don't ask for interest. But here in the real world of business, no institution that is able to give you money will do so just to be nice. They will want to charge interest. That's how THEY stay in business, too! Can you imagine...? Just giving money to people and then just having them...pay you back? How do you make a profit? OK, outlaw usury. Fine. Then, poor and struggling folks who needs loans (like students trying to go to college), will just...be out of luck? And will people just be "nice" and give students the money they need for the first semester of college, and be deprived of their money for 4 years, just for the opportunity to be paid back? This would be great in a different society, like maybe communist. But capitalism requires the payment of compound interest in some amount, or else people will not lend...and if people will not lend, and people cannot borrow, there will not be development in business, education, etc. It's just crazy. Usury today MUST mean, an EXCESSIVE interest, not NO interest. That's common sense. I can't see God making us irrational, even economically irrational. He's a God of good sense, too. But for each other, as Christians, yes, we should not charge any usury. But we are not in a Christian utopia. This is not the City of God. It's real life. Back here on Planet Earth, hello!2

People invest in companies to see a return (generally). A loan is an investment in a person, but the return of that investment is not received by the lender, because the infrastructure providing that return may be a business, to which the output the lender has no claim. How then, is a lender supposed to see any return? Why would I lend to you when I will see nothing but my original investment returned to me? Why would I do that when I could invest that money in something that will produce a greater return. Matthew 25:14-28 Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip. He called together his servants and entrusted his money to them while he was gone. 15 He gave five bags of silver[a] to one, two bags of silver to another, and one bag of silver to the last-dividing it in proportion to their abilities. He then left on his trip. 16 “The servant who received the five bags of silver began to invest the money and earned five more. 17 The servant with two bags of silver also went to work and earned two more. 18 But the servant who received the one bag of silver dug a hole in the ground and hid the master’s money. 19 “After a long time their master returned from his trip and called them to give an account of how they had used his money. 20 The servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of silver came forward with five more and said, ‘Master, you gave me five bags of silver to invest, and I have earned five more.’ 21 “The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together![b]’ 22 “The servant who had received the two bags of silver came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two bags of silver to invest, and I have earned two more.’ 23 “The master said, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’ 24 “Then the servant with the one bag of silver came and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a harsh man, harvesting crops you didn’t plant and gathering crops you didn’t cultivate. 25 I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back.’ 26 “But the master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy servant! If you knew I harvested crops I didn’t plant and gathered crops I didn’t cultivate, 27 why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it.’ 28 “Then he ordered, ‘Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one with the ten bags of silver. 29 To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away. 30 Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ Or, in other words. When you lend money, it is proper to expect a return. Furthermore the nature of banks, as being institutions which borrow and hold your money, such that the investments they make produce a return, for you, is exemplified in this parable.

When we think about a loan we always think about the banking system, while loans can happen between normal people, brothers and sisters. To loan money to an estranger is more difficult that is why the banking system was created, to loan foreigners, people who you do not trust. Excesive interest rates for me are usury, but some rates are ok. While Jesus said that putting money in the bank and gain interests was ok, so why the other way would be bad?

@widehotep9257 2 года назад

You are repeating a fallacy. God clearly and repeatedly says that charging any amount of interest is forbidden. There is only one exception: God allowed the Jews to lend money to their sworn enemies, the "nokri". God was allowing the destructive power of usury to be used as a weapon against pagan enemies of the Jews. The word, "nokri" literally means "foreigner" in Greek, but the context of the word used in Deuteronomy is a "foreign, hostile enemy." This is why charging any amount of interest was forbidden for the first 1500 years of the church. It was only "legalized" by Pope Leo X in 1515. He was a member of a rich banking family from Florence called "The Medici." You can read all of this in Michael Hoffman's book, "Usury in Christendom."

@widehotep9257 2 года назад

No, Jesus didn't say receiving interest was good! The Bible is crystal-clear that we are to loan freely without charging interest, and we are to forgive loans if the borrower cannot repay. This message is repeated countless times. The "parable of the talents" from Luke and Matthew is NOT supportive of charging interest or banking! Jesus was using an analogy to compare His return to an imaginary Master returning to his servants. One of the servants was lazy. The lazy servant became defensive and insulted the Master by calling him harsh and a thief. The Master then essentially said, "you may as well call me a usurer, too." If money-lending and charging interest is okay, why was it considered a terrible crime (similar to theft and murder) for the first 1500+ years of the church?

Investing and lending has been abused, but it is also extremely beneficial. Unless you want to live under the entire Mosaic law, you should reconsider this position. Christians are not under the law, and if we were, we would be restricted to an entire economy like that described in the Mosaic law.

Thank you for the video. On the interest: one can always find a simple interest rate equivalent to a compund interest (algebra 101). I.e. the rate does not stop generating wealth just because it is expressed as simple nor it sarts to accumulate wealth just because it is in it's compound expression. The view of compound rates as a source of evil is an expression of ignorance on algebra. Moreover, the cost of equity is higher than the cost of debt, so for good investments it is better for the other to lend him and charge him interests than to claim rights on his property.

@xyzmediaandentertainment8313 Год назад

Simple interest rate equal to compound interest rate would only work over a short fixed time period. In longer timeframes like 1000 yearsyou'd be charging >99% simple interest rate to match compound interest rates over the same period. Also unlike simple interest, compound interest creeps up and that's really what the issue is. Your are paying interest for the previous the interest and it just hits bigger and bigger.

This still does not make sense as money is always worth more in the present than in the future. This a basic concept called the discount rate. Secondly, effectively, anything can be sold for its function and not its owner ship. This is called rent. The wine example is silly as one can sell wine with the requirement that a person not drink it. Of course this would reduce the price of it as it would no longer be as useful. But the idea that one can not separate the uses of an item is not correct, there are many many things that can be sold that are partial owner ship. My biggest frustration is that no one seems to consider the economic surpluss of effectively any commodity. Think about it, if someone lends money and then purchases items which will benefit him far more than the money, he now gets to have the benefit but the lender get nothing, in fact less than nothing as opportunity coast is very real. If anyone can properly explain this, I would like to hear. I am extremely knowledgeable of banking and economics and all honesty every time i try to understand usury.

Right from the start Usury was a form of power over another. God understood this. Israel was to be the head and not the tail, the lender and not the borrower. God demanded Israel not to charge interest to a brother but to a stranger it was permitted. Deut 23:20 Reason: to gain servitude over the gentile nations and control them for the glory of God. In that way people would look to Israel and say who is their God. The church took this out of context but some jews held onto this understanding and used it to their advantage right up to this very day. Today the concept has been taken to the extreme to where the whole so called monetary system is all usury and there is no money at all. That is a whole other story.
