Pope Francis has complained at the world youth day, the suffering of young victims of abuse. The Catholics head said in front of tens of thousands of believers in Panama city that young people “fall into the nets of unscrupulous people,” which Church are people. He urged to support the people, “have not been silent and will not remain silent in the face of a culture of mistreatment and abuse”, and to help those who fought for the protection against abuse.
The sexual abuse of children and young people has shaken the Church for some time in several countries. Pope Francis lamented in his address violence against women, abortion, and an increasingly consumer-oriented society, environmental pollution and the rejection of migrants in many countries. It was absurd and irresponsible “to identify each migrant with the Bearer of social Evil”.
complaint about a consumer, of the earth as a whole
conformism, the Pope called one of the most widely used drug of our time. You should not be silent “in the face of a culture of mistreatment and abuse”. Furthermore, he complained of the – so literally – “mad consumption,” kick the earth with the feet.
The company tend to be people in Good and Evil, Righteous and sinners, to divide, instead of giving you a Chance to change, said Pope Francis on Friday at a worship service in the youth prison of Las Garzas de Pacora. “This attitude spoils everything, because they had erected an invisible wall, people think that all our problems as if by magic, if we make others marginal, separate, and isolate,” said the Pope, who visited in his travels, often to prisons.
“When a society or community allows that, and nothing else does more than complain and slander, it goes in a vicious circle of division, blame and condemnation.” The exhibition in Las Garzas de Pacora was a Bußgottesdienst: Some of the imprisoned youths took the Pope’s confession. At least one detainee was crying afterwards, very strong. “There are no words to describe the freedom I feel in this Moment,” the man said to the Pope at the beginning of the divine service.
