Pope Francis on Friday visited the headquarters of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development for the event “Planting a Flag Against Dehumanization”.

When the Pope arrived, he sat among the participants, listening to their discussion on ensuring “no family is without a home, no peasant without land, no worker without rights, and no person without the dignity that comes from work,” as the WMPM’s motto states.

He warned that if there are no just policies ensuring access to land, housing, and fair wages, “the logic of material and human waste will spread, paving the way for violence and desolation.” “Unfortunately, it is often the wealthiest who oppose the realization of social justice or integral ecology, out of pure greed.”The Pope expressed hope that economically powerful individuals would come out of isolation, “reject the false security of money, and embrace the sharing of goods,” which he described as having a universal destiny, stemming from Creation itself.

He urged leaders to heed the “cry of the excluded,” which has the power to awaken the consciences of political leaders responsible for enforcing economic, social, and cultural rights. These rights, he noted, are recognized by most nations and by the United Nations, yet they remain unfulfilled in the socio-economic reality.Justice, the Pope explained, must be accompanied by compassion, which means “to suffer with others, sharing in their feelings.

“The silence in the face of injustice opens the way to social division, social division opens the way to verbal violence, verbal violence opens the way to physical violence, and physical violence to war,” he emphasized.Pope Francis concluded by affirming the need for love in every aspect of life. He cited his recent visit to a school for disabled children in Dili, Timor-Leste, saying, “Without love, none of this would make sense.
