The pope gathered with under-35 adults at the Economy of Francesco meeting to promote a new vision for the 'mainstream economy.'
VATICAN CITY (RNS) — Joining young people from more than 100 countries, Pope Francis signed a document on Saturday (Sept. 24) that lays out ideas for a new economy inspired by St. Francis of Assisi, the pope’s namesake known for his dedication to the poor, the environment and peace.
More than 1,000 young activists, economists and entrepreneurs under the age of 35 gathered in Assisi, St. Francis’ birthplace, over the weekend for a meeting on “the Economy of Francesco,” held to present an economic vision that pushes back against systems currently in effect that the activists said favor the rich.
The gathering was the culmination of two years of online and in-person gatherings and events inspired by the pope’s call to action two years ago to mitigate the worst effects of capitalism.
The 85-year-old pontiff arrived aboard a helicopter to the main square early on Saturday to hear testimonies from some of the participants and deliver a speech juxtaposing the promise of young people with the devastation wrought by climate change, war and financial inequality.

My patron saint St Francis. Also my academy’s saint.
Francis the Fraud soils the sacred soil he trods upon, spreads false doctrine and seeks to establish a perfect Man’s kingdom on Earth.
I would really like to know if we will be re-united with our fur babies in the next world.
Not my Pope!
Oh for God’s sake!
Literally
This commie clown is as dementia ridden as Brandon. Equally as smart too.
Once a marxist always a marxist.
“I would really like to know if we will be re-united with our fur babies in the next world.”
The Servant of God Father John A. Hardon (1914-2000), a wise Jesuit priest and scholar, a friend of John Paul, posited the theory that it’s not inconceivable that we could be reunited with animals who have been helpful to us and who we have loved upon this earth. I hope so. I have had two dogs and two cats at various times in my life whom I have really grown to love.
A kitten unexpectedly came in to my life about three months ago, a hard time for me, and it amazes me how much I am already attached to him with his unconditional affection.
I am sure we’ll all be quite surprised to
see what’s behind/beyond the veil of
our earthly perception of the things
we see and feel in this here and now.
Eye has not seen nor ear heard what
God has waiting for those that love Him

I do hope to be reunited with my fur babies. Loved them all.
We can travel hopefully.....
Bergoglio’s patron saint is Che Guevara.
