Debt Relief and the Stand of Catholics on the Matter
Poor countries are suffering from huge debts to the very rich countries.
Because of the ever increasing debts in the market, financial institutions are taking advantage of the situation by offering loans and other debt relief solutions.
The hardships of people are only enhanced due to increased borrowings.
According to experts, debt is not merely a major economic issue, but it can also be considered as one of the very important ethical issues known to man.
Debts can affect the poorest of the poor, families, community bonding, and the future's security.
Advocacy efforts have contributed greatly to improve the poor countries all over the world, but it's far from being over.
Back in the year 2000, the late Pope John Paul II encouraged debt forgiveness of international debts.
According to the Pope, debts can threaten a nation's future security.
The Catholic organizations in the US have advocated for relieving of debt, especially among very poor nations.
They claim that the debt problem's moral dimensions should be considered carefully.
When debt only increases the burden of the less fortunate nations, the dignity of its residents and life respect should be a very important concern.
Most governments can't finance social investments because it is too much concerned in paying for the international debt.
The worse is that the poorest of the communities tend to suffer greatly.
Relieving debt on the national level is next to impossible, especially if the poor countries can't afford to pay for their huge debts.
Oftentimes, this may also be due to corruption of local officials.
The fact is, it is the society and those in the position who is responsible for the ever increasing debts.
If a change can start from every person, then the situation may improve soon.
Individual debts have also increased considerably in the recent years due to recession.
Because of this, more and more people are now in need of debt relief.
Just in case you're suffering from huge debts, remember that you're not alone in the world and even nations today have incurred millions or billions of debts.
The poor really needs help and Christians should take a stand on the issue.
