On Saturday, Pope Francis emphasized unequivocally the moral need to use financial riches for the benefit of humanity.
Speaking to a group from the Catholic Foundation of Verona, a division of Generali Italia insurance company, the Pope emphasized the need to direct wealth toward initiatives that support the vulnerable and align with the Church’s social doctrine.
He contrasted this approach with the “madness” of investing in industries, such as arms manufacturing, that profit from destruction and death.
