You have seen young men ruined through their own lack of prudence and lonesty. Excess and dishonesty are absolutely to be condemned. I speak as strongly is you against such things, and not for a moment does the Catholic Church sanction iuch sin. But if a man sinfully invests money in betting or in lotteries, money vhich he is obliged to use for the payment of just debts, or if he steals the money >f others in order to so invest it, the fault lies in his personal dishonesty, not in any lishonesty of the lottery itself. The same type of man might also spend money on i motor car, neglecting to pay what he owes the butcher. You are allotting the Iishoncsty in the wrong place, transferring the innate dishonesty of an unjustified >articipant to the lottery itself.
