Money must serve, not rule! The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but he is obliged in the name of Christ to remind all that the rich must help, respect and promote the poor. I exhort you to generous solidarity and a return of economics and finance to an ethical approach which favours human beings.

There is no worse material poverty than one that does not allow for earning one’s bread and deprives one of the dignity of work. Youth unemployment, informality, and the lack of labor rights are not inevitable; they are the result of a previous social option, of an economic system that puts profit above man; if the profit is economic, to put it above humanity or above man, is the effect of a disposable culture that considers the human being in himself as a consumer good, which can be used and then discarded.

I think that even the Mexican society is a victim of all of this, of these crimes of "cleaning" people, of discarding people.

It is not enough to say we are Christians. We must live the faith, not only with our words, but with our actions.

Thank God [Donald Trump] said I was a politician because Aristotle defined the human person as 'animal politicus.' At least I am a human person. As to whether I am a pawn, well, maybe, I don't know. I'll leave that up to your judgment and that of the people.

All political activity must serve and promote the good of the human person and be based on respect for his or her dignity.

May God welcome the dead into his peace, comfort the families and convert the hearts of the violent ones, who do not even stop before children.
