New ways of having money available require
pastoral care and accompaniment

22. Throughout human history, there have been various ways of facilitating commerce and the maintenance of purchasing power. Today we talk about "money," and now the use of personal credit cards, requiring a bank account, is growing in popularity. These cards are becoming quite common in some countries, and for a number of reasons, including convenience and security. In our case, Brothers who need to travel quite often, buy community supplies, etc., usually make use of them. Can men and women in the religious life stand aside and avoid having anything to do with this new reality?
