Vatican City, Jun 12, 2011 / 13:17 pm
The ethics of finance will take center stage at the Vatican next week as business leaders from around the globe arrive for a two day “Executive Summit on Ethics for the Business World” from June 16 to 17.
“As a Church we never yield to the status quo and never should stop provoking or taking people beyond the status quo,” Cardinal Peter Turkson, president of the summit co-organizer Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, told Vatican Radio June 10.
He added that the Church should remind people of “the possibility of looking at things differently than to how they are used to do.”
“I guess that’s what it means to evangelize. To invite people to a level they’ve not thought of before.”
