Changing our model for development before it's too late

As far back as November 2013, in his exhortationthat represents the"road map" of his pontificate, Pope Francis had spoken of an economy"that kills."

These words remain as relevant as ever, even though at the time they brought upon the Pope the crude and unfounded accusation of Marxism levelled at him by commentators ignorant of the Social Doctrine of the Church.And Pope Francis spoke clearly and unequivocally again from Assisi on Saturday, addressing young people to urgently call for a change in the development model if we are to save humanity threatened by pandemics, wars, and climate change.

Therefore, a few superficial actions are not enough, nor are the self-interested gimmicks of"greenwashing" enough for everything to continue as before.Pope Francis has launched an appeal that cuts to the root of the problem, one which has not been adequately received, understood and supported in recent years.
