I think inequality is fine, as long as it is in the common interest. The problem is when it gets so extreme, when it becomes excessive.
One common way of judging whether housing's price is in line with its fundamental value is to consider the ratio of housing prices to rents. This is analogous to the ratio of prices to dividends for stocks.
To have my life accepted as just another ordinary life, to have it viewed as common and regular, was a singular moment.
Common participation in the Eucharist can only be a final outcome of ecumenic dialogue, not the starting point.
