Pope Francis on Wednesday
called on world leaders to avoid "throwaway culture" in the
post-coronavirus reconstruction.
"One might say that in the financial world sacrificing
(things and people) is normal," he said in an interview with
Jesuit weekly Civiltà Cattolica.
In the virus emergency, he stressed, policies that show this
throwaway culture should be averted.
The Italian Bishops Conference, meanwhile, urged authorities
to save jobs with aid to households and businesses, taking into
account "the most fragile and less safeguarded like
self-employed workers, irregular workers and those with term
contracts."
