So, what *does* Catholic social theory have to say about that?

I cannot speak for those whom Michael P. calls Robby's "confreres in the Republican Party," and I'm actually not sure what Catholic social theory says, specifically, about the precise contours of financial-sector regulation, but certainly *I* would welcome more transparency in the operations of the Administration and Congress (neither of which is, at present, in the control of Robby's confreres).  Michael, what do you think CST has to say about the matters discussed in the Simon Johnson piece?  As Dennis Miller (or Foghat) might say, "talk to me, baby!"
