VATICAN Do not look away from the poor, says pope
The pontiff's message for the World Day of the Poor (19 November) was released today, centred on the new faces of poverty: the children victims of war, the “ethical confusion present in the world of labour,” the speculations that “compromise the dignity of every person,” and the “illusions created by a culture that leads young people to think that they are ‘losers’.” Instead, the pontiff calls for a place around the table for the marginalised.
