A quote from Pope Francis:

“Globalizing solidarity, today, means thinking about the vertiginous increase in unemployment, the incessant tears of the poor, the need to reinstate a development that involves a genuine and full progress of the person, who is certainly in need of income, but not this alone. Let us think about healthcare needs, that the traditional welfare systems are no longer able to satisfy; the pressing needs of solidarity, to place human dignity once more at the center of the world economy.”

— Audience with Confederation of Italian Cooperatives, Feb. 28, 2015
