Panel Discussion: POPE FRANCIS & ECONOMIC JUSTICE – Wed June 4th, 4:30pm, SEIU 1199 Dorchester

“Money must serve, not rule! The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but he is obliged in the name of Christ to remind all that the rich must help, respect and promote the poor. I exhort you to generous solidarity and to the return of economics and finance to an ethical approach which favors human beings.”
