Archbishop warns ‘growth and greed lead to division’

THE Catholic Archbishop of Dublin has warned that “uncontrolled growth” dominated by personal and intellectual greed and ambition inevitably leads to a divided society.

Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, in his homily at a Mass in Dublin yesterday to mark the start of the legal year, stressed a just and caring society will only be achieved by people who “live justly”, care and listen to each other in a form of exchange in mutual trust and respect.

Law is “not just about rules” and regulation in a market economy is “not just about norms”, he said.
