Thank you, M.D.H., for a worthy Catholic perspective!

Thanks for doing the research, Matthew. I admit I posted it hastily, not having viewed the video in its entirety. My reason for posting it was this: The information in the first portion is accurate and useful.

My apologies for not being as thorough as I should have been.

Quote from: Matthew D. Hardin

I'll trust in God and His Word rather than silver...

Making sensible moves to protect your assets is not sinful, Matthew -- and buying silver is a sensible move in these unstable times. As you know, God expects us to use our brains. If we are morally certain that a shortage of food is coming, is it sinful to store food? No.

FWIW, putting one's assets into more stable forms does not mean one lacks trust in God. It means one can see what is going on and has the sense to take appropriate measures.

I'll admit that I was curious and watched the entire video (quite a time waster, as it's quite slow going) and now I'm still curious.... about his 4th step that he doesn't tell us about, because, of course, he wants us to pay $49.50 for his emails.

I do believe that we should be getting ahead a bit with some food storage of essentials that won't go bad, in so far as you are financially able. Be sure to protect your food from rodents, bugs and the possiblility of water damage. If the economy doesn't get as bad as the doom and gloom people say, then at least you can eat your stored food and there shouldn't be any waste of money.

Quote from: Matthew D. Hardin

Even if every claim Stansberry made were true and the US were indeed on the brink of economic collapse and mass starvation, it would be morally reprehensible to use the chaos to profit monetarily in the absurdly high percentages he proposes.

Chaos is coming whether you like it or not. Making intelligent moves, even those that bring an increase in wealth, is hardly immoral, in se.

“Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.”
