POPE FRANCIS
If there is extreme poverty in the midst of wealth, also extreme wealth, it is because we have allowed the gap to widen, until it has become the largest in history.
The conference is entitled 'Addressing the Debt Crisis in the Global South.' Columbia University and the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences are organizing this event.
