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.

Funny that the Pope loves the rule of law when the Vatican refuses to cooperate in international lawsuits against them, which they can easily do because they can deny warrants as a sovereign entity.

Capitalism will be the death of me through poverty.

Christianity would outright murder me for loving a man.

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.

If they got power again you can bet your arse they would. Just look at what happens politically in the few country they still hold real influence in.

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