"Accumulation and waste are the same greed": Leo XIV's harsh diagnosis of wealth

Pope Francis delivered his weekly Angelus prayer from the Vatican after his summer break, addressing themes of solidarity and sharing during his first public appearance at St. Peter's Square. He emphasized that 'nothing is lost when shared,' urging believers and society to pay attention to those suffering from hunger and social exclusion worldwide. The Pope highlighted the contrast between materialism and Christian fraternity, stating that 'accumulation and disposal are two faces of the same greed.' He criticized this mindset as a spiritual illness that blinds people to the reality of poverty and lack of basic needs. Additionally, he connected the biblical miracle of multiplying loaves and fishes to the Eucharist, stressing that faith must translate into active justice and aid for vulnerable communities.
