Today children are disposed of because there is no food or because they are killed before being born – children are discarded. The elderly are disposed of, well, because they are useless, they do not produce, neither children nor the elderly produce; then, with more or less sophisticated systems they are slowly abandoned and now, as in this crisis it is necessary to recover some equilibrium, we are witnessing a third very painful discarding –the discarding of young people. Millions of young people… are discarded from work, are unemployed.

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

We don't want this globalised economic system which does us so much harm. Men and women have to be at the centre (of an economic system) as God wants, not money. The world has become an idolator of this god called money. To defend this economic culture, a throwaway culture has been installed. We throw away grandparents, and we throw away young people. We have to say no to his throwaway culture. We want a just system that helps everyone.

It seems that humanity is incapable of putting a halt to the shedding of innocent blood.

Christians know how to face difficulties, trials and defeat with serenity and hope in the Lord.

I don't like it when I hear it said: 'but these youth say stupid things!'

Let us seek to live in a way that is always worthy of our Christian vocation
