Transcript: CHURCH TEACHING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY A legal claim to social insurance for sickness, unemployment, disability, and old age has become a fourth form of property of in our modern society. Owning a house has a very high socio-political importance in our present society and therefore, occupies a prominent place in the hierarchy of properties of modern man.

Farmers, when harvesting their fields, vineyards or olive orchards must leave the gleanings to the widows and orphans, the sojourners and the poor. Every third year, all the title of the produce is to be given to the Levites and the needy.

Said that Private Property as such is not contrary to the natural law or the gospel. Right to property is subordinated to the more fundamental right of all men to the use of material things, to the common good. Public Property or nationalization is the state of ownership whereby the possession belongs to an entire civil society rested on the state. If it overpowers or eliminates the right of private and common property altogether, or at least curtails it, then it violates the natural right of the individual members of the society or state and therefore it goes contrary to the freedom of the human person. Private property gives man a realm of independence and serves as a protection of his freedom. A clear policy on private property or on who should own what, lessens the possibility of disputes on the ownership of properties. 2. Furniture, Household, Equipment, and the like.

This is a very radical principle. It teaches that riches are intended for the use of the community.
