Kiva Thoughts

From a recent Zenit article:

"Experiences such as micro-credit, and initiatives to create cooperative associations show that it is possible to harmonize economic objectives with social necessities, democratic government and respect for nature," the Pontiff affirmed. "It is also advisable to encourage manual work and to promote an agriculture which works in favor of local people, viewing these activities with the respect they deserve."

It seems like the Holy Father approves the work of a micro-credit entity like kiva.org.
