[edit] GA

Nice little article, but I note a couple things in the lead. Might be good to explain why something addressed to the bishops of Italy might not be considered ex cathedra, so that people don't have to follow the link and figure it out. Also it might be a slight POV to say that the RCC "retreated from actively enforcing its social teachings in the financial sphere". Aren't there any other theories about this than backpedalling? Later in the article, this sentence was a bit complicated: "In 1830—following the widespread acceptance of the Napoleonic code, which allowed interest, throughout Europe— with the approval of Pope Pius VIII, the Inquisition of Rome, distinguished the doctrine of usury from the practice of usury, decreeing that confessors should no longer disturb the latter." Could this be split into two or three sentences. Gimmetrow 21:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
