Abstract
In this essay, I provide a defense of corporate law and of pursuing a career therein from the perspective of Catholic teaching. I argue that Catholicism is not incompatible with the pursuit of wealth as such, but rather insists upon the appropriate use of wealth. I also argue that it is appropriate for corporate actors to pursue the interests of shareholders, provided that they do not break the law or otherwise sin in doing so. I also explain why I found transaction practice personally fulfilling.
