[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Private property is a means to an end. It is not the end itself. It is not a moral absolute.

It's very close to it, though. It's implied in the Commandment, "Do not steal."

Free trade is a reality --a law of nature. If two parties are not coerced, or engaging in misrepresentation, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with tradiing. (With a few exceptions, like prostitution, etc.)

[Romulus]

If you withhold your private property from the poor, you’re going to hell. THAT’S a moral absolute.
