  The underlying principle that Uncle John (Sir John Templeton) always used in these instances was to pay for everything in cash so that they “would always be receivers and not payers of interest.” This was important to him throughout his life. He never had a mortgage, never borrowed to buy a car, and always had enough savings to make it through a rough patch.

• The early Catholic Church took a strong stand against charging for loans. In 1179, the Third Council of the Lateran decreed that persons who accepted interest on loans could receive neither the sacraments nor Christian burial. Pope Clement V made the belief in the right to usury heresy in 1311 and abolished all secular legislation that allowed it. Pope Sixtus V condemned the prac-tice of charging interest as “detestable to God and man, damned by the sacred canons and contrary to Christian charity.”（資料來源：Free: The Future of a Radical Price）
