On February 27, 2009, in a meeting with pastors and clergy of the Diocese of Rome to discuss the economic crisis Pope Benedict appointed the idolatry of money as a major shortcoming of the economic order. Benedict XVI has warned that large-scale reform can not be achieved without an individual conversion. According to the Pope, the Church has the duty of criticizing the mistakes that led to the current economic crisis. He indicated the selfishness and idolatry of money as one of the key issues for the failure of the economic system and concluded that these failures led the mankind towards error. Thus, the church must make its voice heard to show the true path of reason enlightened by faith.
