Pope Francis told a Rome diocesan
gathering on inequality Friday that people shouldn't throw away
food in the Italian capital when there are so many people who
don't have any.
"How can we accept that in our city tons of food are thrown away
and at the same time there are families who have nothing to eat?
"I see this even in a restaurant, near the Vatican.
"Or that there are thousands of empty spaces and thousands of
people sleeping on a sidewalk?".
He added: "A city that helplessly witnesses these contradictions
is a torn city, just like our entire planet."
