El crecimiento en equidad exige algo más que el crecimiento económico, aunque lo supone, requiere decisiones, programas, mecanismos y procesos específicamente orientados a una mejor distribución del ingreso, a una creación de fuentes de trabajo, a una promoción integral de los pobres que supere el mero asistencialismo. Estoy lejos de proponer un populi - smo irresponsable, pero la economía ya no puede recurrir a remedios que son un nuevo veneno, como cuando se pretende aumentar la rentabilidad reduciendo el mercado laboral y creando así nuevos excluidos. We can no longer trust in the unseen forces and the invisible hand of the market. Growth in justice requires more than economic growth, while presupposing such growth: it requires decisions, programmes, mechanisms and processes specifically geared to a better distribution of income, the creation of sources of employment and an integral promotion of the poor which goes beyond a simple welfare mentality. I am far from proposing an irresponsible populism, but the economy can no longer turn to remedies that are a new poison, such as attempting to increase profits by reducing the work force and thereby adding to the ranks of the excluded.

  • Feast of the Canadian Martyrs September 26, 2016 His Holiness
    Feast of the Canadian Martyrs September 26, 2016 His Holiness Pope Francis Vatican City Most Holy Father, It has been our custom since the beginning of our Episcopal Conference in 1943 for the Catholic Bishops of Canada to send greetings to the Successor of Peter at the commencement of our Plenary Assembly. The opening day of this year’s weeklong meeting is the Feast of the Canadian Martyrs – Saint Jean de Brébeuf, Saint Isaac Jogues and their six Jesuit companions, including two laymen associated with the Society, who died between the years 1642 and 1649 in the pastoral service of the Indigenous People in North America. Our meeting again is in Cornwall, Ontario, on the Saint Lawrence River along which many of our early missionaries and Bishops travelled in the past. We wish to begin by thanking you for your pertinent and enthusiastic teaching which supports and stimulates us in our own role as teachers of the faith: Your Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, On Love in the Family; Your frequent reminders of the centrality of mercy, articulated so eloquently in your Bull of Indiction for the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, but also in your frequent example of visiting hospices, hospitals, prisons and refugee centres; Your encouraging and challenging words to political and social leaders, which the whole world witnessed last fall with your Apostolic Visit to the General Assembly of the United Nations; Likewise, your ongoing reminders to leaders and members of all religions that God’s name is peace. We hear and try our best to heed your urgent promptings that Christ’s call to be holy is a summons “to translate into concrete acts that which we invoke in prayer and profess in faith”, to be a “witness to God’s closeness to the poorest of the poor” and a “tireless worker of mercy”, which we see exemplified in Mother Teresa of Calcutta, whom you declared a Saint of the Universal Church and as you described in your homily at the Mass for her Canonization which also marked the Jubilee for workers of mercy and volunteers.
