Massaro Section 5 and 6

These two sections of Massaro's article were by far one of the most interesting things I've ever read. I found it interesting because I actually never knew how involved the Catholic Church was in making sure that the working classes got what they deserved because they are the ones that provide everything that people have. It also talked about how God wanted all of these people to be equal. In other words, someone should not be rich if they are hurting their neighbors brought it. Section five also talked a lot about socialism and how it is something that is completely unnatural in the world and how it is unjust to people who own land. The people who had a higher position in the working world needed to think of the needs of those who worked for them. Section six talked a lot about the rights that workers need to have. Workers should not be looked at as just a part of one big machine that produces material things, they still need to be looked at as people that work their blood, sweat, and tears into the work they do everyday. It was said that the reason why people worked was not to have a job or career, but as a way to follow God in the path that he set out for them and what they were put into this world to do was to make material things for the population. I was really surprised at the involvement of the Catholic Church in making workers have the rights, working conditions, and appreciation they all deserved for their everyday hard work.
