- Both Catholic and Protestant representatives acknowledged, as did other speakers, problems which can arise from gambling - the influence of organized crime, the problems of the compulsive gambler.
- Pius X writes in his Catechism, “The sins that are said to cry to God for vengeance are these four: (1) Willful murder; (2) The sin of sodomy; (3) Oppression of the poor; (4) Defrauding labourers of their wages.” Those last two must be highly considered by any Catholic business owners out there.
