In his homily, he talked about the dangers that can come, \u00a0when people try to act like God.<\/p>\n<p>POPE FRANCIS<br \/>\n'This is what we're doing. This is what we do: We devastate Creation, life, culture, values. We devastate hope.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He then denounced the many wars being fought throughout the world, adding that it promotes a throw away culture.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>POPE FRANCIS\u00a0<br \/>\n'And wars. Wars continue and they don't plant seeds of life, but rather of destruction. It's the industry of destruction. It's a system that also applies to life. When something can't be fixed, one just throws it out. This includes children, the elderly, young people without a job.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n<p>The most vulnerable, he explained, \u00a0like the poor and the weak, often pay the price when mankind tries to take over Creation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>POPE FRANCIS<br \/>\n'This is happening now. It's as though these people, these hungry children, the sick, it seems as though they don't count. It's like they are a different species. This crowd goes before God and asks, 'Save us! Please give us peace. Please give us food. Please we want work.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Towards the end, the Pope called on men and women who destroy, to convert by following the path of the Beatitudes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>AC\/KLH\u00a0<br \/>\nCTV<br \/>\nJM<br \/>\n-BN<br \/>\nUp: MPI<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 3, 2014. ;The Pope made these remarks as he celebrated All Saints Day in Rome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":31219,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"http:\/\/youtu.be\/tofM_zYe6vs","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/","international_url":"http:\/\/romereports.com.edgesuite.net\/news\/bmessaveranoint.mov","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51582"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
