Centre Quote by Pope Francis
“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.”
