Pope Signs Pact on Economy Respecting the Poor; Promotes Economy of the Gospel in City of Assisi

 Pope Francis made a day trip to Assisi yesterday to meet with young economists and change makers, the Crux website reports today (September 25, 2022). 


While there, he signed their pact outlining a joint vision for a peaceful and just economy that's more equitable and respectful of the poor and the environment. 


In the agreement, at the close of an "Economy of Francis" event in Assisi, the youth acknowledged that there is a "responsibility that rests on our generation," and voiced their commitment to "spending our lives so that the economy of today and tomorrow becomes an economy of the Gospel."
