Fr. Duffy, reading your reflection on Jesus’ parable of the Rich Fool, I found your detailed explanations very adrem and interesting. You brought the message closer to the understanding of every average Christian to comprehend. Money they said is a trouble maker and can talk.The Rich Fool represents the society we’re living in where wealth, power, fame, prestige and ego are highly celebrated. Tx.

Yes, Bartholomew. Money seems to be society’s God. Jesus, in this parable, tackles the root cause of the money sickness: greed. It is not money, in itself, but the spiritual and moral sickness of greed which corrupts people’s attitude to money.
