Archbishop: Poor pay for immorality of rich

THE Archbishop of Dublin, Dr Diarmuid Martin, has said the current concern over unacceptable behaviour in the financial world is an example of how individual behaviour can lead to a seriously destructive effect on the fabric of society.

In his homily at Ash Wednesday Mass in University College Dublin Dr Martin branded the activity “fundamentally immoral”.

“I do not like the ‘a little bit of recession is good for the soul’ argument,” he said.
