Today everything comes under the laws of competition and the survival of the fittest, where the powerful feed upon the powerless. As a consequence, masses of people find themselves excluded and marginalized: without work, without possibilities, without any means of escape.
Pope FrancisHuman beings are themselves considered consumer goods to be used and then discarded. We have created a โdisposableโ culture which is now spreading. It is no longer simply about exploitation and oppression, but something new. Exclusion ultimately has to do with what it means to be a part of the society in which we live; those excluded are no longer societyโs underside or its fringes or its disenfranchised โ they are no longer even a part of it. The excluded are not the โexploitedโ but the outcast, the โleftoversโ.
Pope FrancisI have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person's life. God is in everyone's life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else - God is in this person's life. You can - you must - try to seek God in every human life.
Pope Francis
