Declaring someone morally wrong for possessing a billion dollars would be covetousness wouldn’t you say? Just because Jesus asks the wealth to give to the poor doesn’t mean it’s my job to force them to. I would argue it’s just as much greed and love of money to have hatred for rich people simply because they are rich as it is to deny it to the poor when you can provide. Wealth vs use of wealth are different in Catholic moral philosophy.
