Earlier in the day, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told a meeting in Rome via video message that the world's food system generates a third of all greenhouse gas emissions. That same system is responsible for as much as 80% of biodiversity loss, he lamented in a video message.
In a written message that was read to meeting participants, Francis said the coronavirus ppandemic has "confronted us with the systemic injustices that undermine our unity as a human family." The pontiff added that while new technologies are developed to increase the capacity to produce food on Earth, people continue to "exploit nature to the point of sterilization, thus expanding not only external deserts but also internal spiritual deserts."Earlier this month, a UN report noted that up to 161 million more people faced hunger last year compared to 2019, with much of that widened suffering likely linked to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The summit idea was launched in 2019 months before the coronavirus emerged, but Italian Premier Mario Draghi said the pandemic made existing threats to food security more urgent.
Feel free to sell a Monet painting and feed the world.
Time to step up to the plate Vatican.
Then give all your wealth to the poor.
Say no more
The Vatican has enough money to end poverty
Raping children and residential Scholls are a crime...yet no apology..Shame on you...God is watching
Hey pope, how about residential school? Another cover up.
And not apologizing to Canada is also a crime.
So is abusing and killing kids but the church did all that. The church takes a lot and gives little
What of the sexual abuse of boys in the vatican?
Great he says this and have more money than the mob. Start donating.
So is buggering little boys….
😂😂😂 hunger has nothing on what they watched happen at the residential schools, can’t believe people still choose to fund these man made religions. Time to pray from home and dissolve these organizations that were created for control.
Then use your riches to put an end to it
Church support of pedophile priests is a crime.
I will pray for the poor, hungry and homeless while sitting on my golden throne inside my golden palace.
So is housing/ schooling indigenous children, abusing them, letting them die and not telling anyone then burying them unmarked graves
The 'World' to the Pope: Just shhh! There's no more room for hypocrites.
All that gold in the Vatican could feed a lot of people
So why doesn’t the Vatican cash in some of their wealth and feed the hungry? They are good with the talk but not with the action
The church has long lost any moral authority
Try leading by example, When the Vatican has spent all its money on food relief, THEN put the call out to others.
Do reporters get to ask questions when he says stuff like that? Like, keeping this statement in mind, what do you think of residential schools and the atrocities that took place?
As much as we like to rid this world of its evils, the prophecies of Yeshua tells a different story. It is a broken unbalanced world as he foretold it would be. But most people don’t believe in ancient fables as the events unfold.
Says the man running the wealthiest organization with endless funds, and one of the few in this world that could actually do something about it...but I guess pedo lawyers get pretty expensive
Incoming push for Socialism. Friendly reminder it never works, and always ends in mass genocide. 🇨🇺
Maybe the pope should sell off some stolen indigenous artifacts……oh
That's rich.
So is pedophilia, tax evasion and money laundering..... but.... the catholic churches are thriving!!
So is child rape by your priests , when are you going to shut down your criminal organization?
So is paedophilia and participating in genocide like you did in Canada.
...
The catholic church is a “crime” against human rights: abortion rights, gay rights, First Nation rights. Pot calling the kettle black, this really!
Ummmm……. So is murdering little indigenous children.
Good of the Pontifex to say this... will make prosecution much easier for all the indigenous kids starved, abused and killed!
And Billionaires fly to space for 10 minutes, spending $20 million and polluting our planet more than any one country. Wow, Climate emergency? Nope
Pontifex anything to say about the Christian churches being burned to the ground in Canada and the US? Just asking! VaticanNews what exactly is this Pope doing all day long?
