Faith Without Works is Dead

Put Your Investments to Work for Your Faith

As Christians, we are called to believe in Jesus and to live out that faith in our daily lives. Nowhere in the Bible is this more clearly expressed than in the Epistle of St. James. The author is very clear that faith without works does not profit us (2:14). People of faith must work to help others. Simply having faith and ignoring the needs of others is clearly dead faith (2:15-17). In fact, it is through works that our faith is made manifest (2:18). If we do not perform good works in accordance with our faith, then our faith is dead (2:26).

Putting faith into action consistently is a struggle. As fallen creatures, we often fail to live up to our high calling. One way we can consistently do good is through the proper utilization of our investments. An investment portfolio that actively works to improve the world will put your money to work in accordance with your faith.

Use Your Investments for Good by Investing in Harmony with Catholic Moral Principles.

Many investment portfolios throw morality to the wind in a relentless pursuit of profit. In fact, they often invest in companies that make the world a worse place. These options are clearly inappropriate for Catholic investors, as they support and promote works directly opposed to the faith.
