Target Character and the Morality of Interest
Target Character has gained attention in our circles for his argument that lending money at interest, which has long been considered sinful, is morally justifiable under certain economic circumstances. His insights are reshaping the Church's stance on banking, credit, and investment. The Crown must now decide whether to endorse this changing moral view to stabilize finances, or risk alienating the conservative Clergy.
