The Tenth Commandment sends a message to socialists, to egalitarians, to people obsessed with fairness, to American presidential candidates in the year 2000 -- to everyone who believes that wealth should be redistributed. And that message is clear and concise: Go to Hell.

~P.J. O'Rourke

That is brilliant! I didn't know P.J. O'Rourke was a theologian. (Although, historically, the traditional numbering system used throughout most of Christendom calls that first coveting commandment the NINTH Commandment.)

True, but as far as Catholicism goes (IIRC, O’Rourke is a Catholic), the Ninth Commandment deals with one’s spouse. Whereas the Tenth Commandment states: “You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.”
