De Roo. The Roman Catholic bishop of Victoria was responding to accusations by Premier Bill Bennett that he criticized the , government’s restraint program because he distrusts the private sector and disagrees with the concept of profits. Nobody argues with the need for restraint, De Roo said in an interview ‘Thursday, but critics of his recent remarks are missing his point: who should pay for the program. - De Roo is chairman. of a commission of the Canadian Council of Catholic Bishops, which released a controversial - ~ - statement last December calling on the federal government : (0 recognize itg moral-obligations when setting economic ; Policy, oe ce ae ; _ It provoked a great deal of debate, with Prime Minister ; Pierre Trudeau saying that the, bishops made’ poor i economists, ne .

Te “At no time have any church teaders I know ever said that profits are not correct or acceptable or legitimate — in. fact, the social teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and most Christian bodies have, over the last century or 80, been insistent on the right to private property and private. profit. re a . bon “The thingythat is frequently. forgotten is that . the ‘capacity or power to make-.a, profit has social obligations attached to it.” He ‘said the Social.
