What Do You Mean by The Universal Destiny of The Resources and Goods of The Earth?
earth?
Reality check leads us to a sad conclusion that a humongous percentage of the goods
of the earth is owned by a tiny percentage of the population (the rich) and the remaining
tiny percentage of the goods of the earth is subdivided among the remaining population
(the poor), while the poorest among the poor owns absolutely nothing.
In the epicenter of our debate is a fundamental basis for socially responsible decision
and business practice. This fundamental principle, the universal destination of the
earthly goods, remains primordial, even if the promotion of the common good requires
respect for the right to private property and its exercise.
The universal destination of goods means that all the material goods of the earth are not
meant to be owned and used by a powerful few individuals but, on the contrary, that all
residents of this planet can equally own and use these goods in accordance with God’s
original plan.
The universal destination of goods ay isa sa mga tinuturo ng simbahan. Na ang pinag kukuhanan
natin dito sa mundong kinakatayuan natin ay para " sa ating lahat"
dito sinabi lang sa introduction na, hindi na pantay pantay ang hatian ng mga resources kasi
inaangkin o nasa mga mayayaman halos ang mga ari arian o resources. O sia lang ang mas
nakikinabang sa mga nakukuha sa mundo. dahil sila ay mayaman at kayang bilhin ito gamit ang
pera. Sa kasamaang palad ang mahihirap ay hindi afford pakipag kompetensya sa mayayaman
dahil sa kakulangan nila sa pera kaya mayayaman nalang ang nakikinabang at yung mahihirap wala
makuha.
-bali sa may universal destiny of the resources and goods of the earth, ang pino-point out niya
lang dapat lahat ng resources ng earth ay equally distributed, hindi lang puro rich people. dapat
yung mga resources na meron sa earth ay hindi limited sa mga powerful individual
example is yung sa property since ayun naman ang main topic ng report. since privately owned
siya ng individual or group, dapat yung owner is hindi lang for business yung reason ng pag-
private niya, dapat meant din to give service or serviceable dapat para at least yung resources ng
property ay distributed sa mga tao
Is the world is given to all?
A rich man's gift to the poor, in the first place, does not belong to the rich. The gift is
actually the poor’s property. This is what the venerable leader of the third century was
saying.
St. Ambrose of Milan issued a stern warning for the powerful few in their accumulation
of wealth and in their disregard for the needs of the poor majority by saying:
“You are handing over to him what is his. For what has been given in common for the
use of all, you have arrogated to yourself. The world is given to all and not only to the
rich” (Ambrosius, 395, cited in Vatican Council II, 1965).
