Pope Pius XII on Private Property

Private property is a natural fruit of labor, a product of intense activity of man acquired though his energetic determination to ensure and develop with his own strength his own existence and that of his family, and to create for himself and his own an existence of just freedom not only economic, but also political, cultural and religious. - Pope Pius XII from a Radio broadcast [September 1, 1944] from Bartlett's Familiar Quotations
