No, the rich are not excluded from entering heaven. In fact, like the pope francisco when meeting the participants of the Italian public assembly Confindustria, the father of the parable of the prodigal son and the good Samaritan are economically well-off. However, there are some tips to keep in mind so as not to fall into “being like those whom Jesus expelled from the temple”.
"In reality, one can be a tradesman, a businessman and be a disciple of Christ, an inhabitant of his Kingdom", assured the Pope. “The question then is: what are the conditions for an entrepreneur to enter the Kingdom of Heaven? “, he said, pointing out that The first and most important of these challenges is “sharing”.
You can, as the pope pointed out, share the wealth transforming it into “evangelical poverty”, resorting to "one of the great economic images that we find in the New Testament", which is "the communion of goods recounted by the Acts of the Apostles". And, to live in the evangelical spirit of sharing, "this can be done in different ways", each entrepreneur being able to "find his own, according to his personality and his creativity".
For women and the social pact
“One way to share is philanthropy, that is, giving to the community,” Francisco pointed out. But it is something that should not be left aside the democratic modality linked to “taxes and duties, a form of sharing often does not exist”. " The the tax pact is at the heart of the social pactsaid François, because “taxes are also a means of sharing wealth, so that it becomes a common good, a public good: school, health, rights, care, science, culture, heritage”.
“Of course, taxes must be fair,” underlined, and must be "established according to the contributory capacity of each". “The tax system and administration should be efficient and uncorrupt,” he insisted, “but taxes should not be seen as usurpation.”
Likewise, the pope stressed that “another way of sharing” wealth is the creation of jobs, especially for young people. He also insisted on the need to "support families and the birth rate". “We have to work for get out of the demographic winter as quickly as possible experienced by Italy and other countries", he underlined.
"working women are afraid of getting pregnant because there is a reality which is that as soon as they start to see the belly, they are thrown,” the Pope denounced. "Please study it, see how you can move a pregnant woman forward, both with her child and with her job," Francisco asked.
On the other hand, the pope underlined the need to “vigorously reaffirm the 'no' to all forms of exploitation of people and neglect of their safety”. “But if the migrant is discarded or simply used like a pawn without rights, it is a great injustice and it also harms the motherland.
