Can You Pursue Wealth and Still Become a Saint?

Blog: Summarizing The CF Guild Discussion On Pursuing Financial Success

Welcome back to Catholic Founders. We’ve got a one-off blog for you. Inspired by our recent discussion.

We don’t talk about this enough.
Especially not in business circles.
And rarely in Catholic ones.

But if you're a Catholic entrepreneur with serious drive, you’ve probably felt this tension:

“Is it spiritually dangerous to aim for financial success?”

It’s not a hypothetical. It’s practical, personal, and persistent.
How much is too much? How do you raise kids with wealth without raising spoiled brats? Where’s the line between ambition and greed?

During our most recent Catholic Founders hangout, this topic surfaced and took over the entire conversation. This wasn’t planned, it’s just something most of us resonated with.

The reality is, there’s no clear formula.
But there are some crucial things you need to consider if you want to build a holy business and avoid falling into the traps that wealth can bring.
