Pope Francis went on to note that many social inequalities have been “highlighted and aggravated” by the pandemic. “These symptoms of inequality reveal a social illness. It is a virus that comes from a sick economy… the result of unequal economic growth, which disregards fundamental human values.” “In today’s world, very few rich people possess more than the rest of humanity. It is an injustice that cries out to heaven!”
