Pope Leo XIV on Thursday slammed the world's failure to stop millions of people facing hunger, blaming a "soulless economy" and calling on people to rethink their livestyles and priorities.
"At a time when science has prolonged life expectancy, technology has brought continents closer together, and knowledge has opened up once unimaginable horizons, allowing millions of human beings to live -- and die -- victims of hunger is a collective failure, an ethical aberration, a historical sin," Leo said in a speech at the UN's agricultural agency.
