The Importance of Private Property Rights

There's just no religious basis for anything like private property rights and I'll go one step further there's this you sometimes hear people say that okay Christianity has all kinds of flaws and irrationalities. Pope Francis writes an encyclical called fratelli tutti which means brothers all and argues on the basis of some of the same kinds of Augustinian ideas that I just mentioned along with St. Ambrose. If you are holding private property property to yourself you're in effect stealing it from the poor because it really belongs to the poor so therefore when government redistributes wealth it's not violating anybody's rights it's just returning to the poor what was stolen from them in the first place.
