Excerpt from The Sins of Society: Words Spoken by Father Bernard Vaughan, of the Society of Jesus in the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Mayfair During the Season, 1906 "He that loveth gold, shall not be justified: and he that followeth after corruption, shall be filled with it. Many have been brought to fall for gold, and the beauty thereof hath been their ruin. Gold is a stumbling block to them that sacrifice to it; wo to them that eagerly follow after it, and every fool shall perish by it... "Blessed is the rich man that hath not gone after gold, nor put his trust in money nor in treasures. Who is he, and we will praise him? He that could have transgressed and hath not transgressed: and could do evil things and hath not done them."
