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.

    I really have to disagree with you! Some fundamentalist bigot groups within Christianity might want to murder you, sure. But the entire religion as such certainly wouldn’t.

      Then more of you need to take it back from the hate filled assholes that have taken over world wide. Damn near 100% if not 100% of the anti gay, trans, etc rhetoric and advertising for candidates world wide are funded and/or supported by religious organizations.
