ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS

Papal Basilica of St Mary Major

[…] But this is the tragedy of the world today, and of young people today, that young people are often discarded.  They don’t have work, they don’t have an ideal to pursue, they lack education and they lack integration.  So many young people have to flee, to migrate to other lands. Young people today, it is painful to say, are often discarded. We cannot tolerate this!
