Catholics, Protestants and Usury: (Part 1 & 2) • Michael Hoffman •🕞1h 51m

(April 2015) Lansing, Michigan • Michael Hoffman • Catholics, Protestants,, And Usury in the Renaissance and Early Modern Europe
In "Usury in Christendom: The Mortal Sin that Was and Now is Not," I argue that during the Renaissance, gentile usurers gained firm purchase inside the Roman Church by scapegoating rival Judaic usurers. I also demonstrate that early Puritans, far from being the stereotypical skinflints and shylocks of legend, denounced and opposed usury, even as Renaissance Catholic popes and prelates were granting permission for it and benefiting from its proceeds.
