Righteous indignation - a photo on Flickriver

            Righteous indignation is typically a reactive emotion of anger over mistreatment, insult, or malice of another. It is akin to what is called the sense of injustice. In some Christian doctrines, righteous anger is considered the only form of anger which is not sinful, e.g., when Jesus drove the money lenders out of the temple (Gospel of Matthew 21).

If you look at the church as a whole these days this seems a bit hypocritical --

Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury, has promised to put payday lenders such as Wonga out of business by setting up credit unions. He also acknowledged last week that because credit unions were not being set up quickly enough, there was a gap in the availability of credit which could force individuals into the hands of loan sharks.

In a speech in Westminster, Welby pointed out that loan sharks sometimes turn up with baseball bats if customers do not pay. It now turns out that Wonga sends out menacing letters from non-existent solicitors if its customers miss their repayments.

And, herein lies the problem for the Church of England. Its Church Commissioners arm has a £100,000 stake in Wonga – albeit less than it was but a stake nonetheless,
