People who are poor, unemployed, homeless, immigrants, or exploited, as well as all those killed by past dictatorships and turned into rubbish by the “throwaway culture” of the present: the level of a society’s civilisation is measured by the way they are treated, the Pope said.

Pope Francis reiterated the centrality of the vulnerable as well as the urgency of countering the triple “scourge” of corruption, abuse of power, and lawlessness—both in politics and in society—in his address on Wednesday with representatives of the DIALOP transversal dialogue project.

    Christianity would outright murder me for loving a man.

      Not with this pope, but a lot of Catholics are angry about a lot of what he says.
