Pope: “Stop saying that those who care for the poor are communists”

Pope Francis said this at the assembly of the diocese of Rome in the Basilica of St. John Lateran

ROME – “The poor are the flesh of Christ. Please, the poor cannot be a number, cannot be a problem or worse still a waste. He is our brother, he is flesh of our flesh. And please, let’s not say that Christians, nuns, priests who work with the poor are communists. Please, let’s stop that, this is still being said”. Thus Pope Francis at the assembly of the diocese of Rome ‘Mending the tear: beyond inequalities’ in the Basilica of St. John Lateran.
