By Daniel C. Maguire

…weat and tears of the poor are on our clothes made in slave shops, and on our iPhones where thousands of Chinese in Shenzhen assemble them working eleven hour days for 83 cents an hour under brutal conditions. The wages are even lower in Vietnam, Cambodia and elsewhere. This Vatican document is a gem of moral reasoning. It is hard-nosed justice theory applied to real life.
