Pope calls for economists from around the world to develop a new inclusive model

The pontiff issued a letter aimed atyoung economists, entrepreneurs and businesswomen from all over the world"to invite you to this event which will be titled"The economy of Francisco", referring to the poor Saint of Assisi.

The goal will be to design an economic model "different, who gives life and does not kill, includes and does not exclude, humanizes and does not dehumanize, takes care of Creation and does not depreciate", an event that ends up generating" a pact "to change the current economy.

"Dear young people, I know that you can listen with your heart to the increasingly painful cries of the Earth and its poor seeking help and responsibility, which ask someone to respond and not to divert the look", said the Pope, always concerned about environmental problems and exclusion.

Francisco asked young people around the world to have the "courage" to be "the protagonists of change"and builders of a better world.

And he believes that "universities, businesses and organizations are hopeful careers to build other ways to understand the economy and progress, to fight the culture of rejection, to give voice to those who do not have any, to propose new lifestyles"

So much so that at the meeting in Assisi, the pope will encourage young people to "promote together, with a" common pact, a process of global change ", non-believers or other denominations and nationalities as well", men of good will ".

These new generations will have the testimony of "some of the best experts in economics, as well as entrepreneurs and businesswomen already committed worldwide for an economy in line with this ideal".

"I invite you all to be the protagonists of this pact, supporting an individual and collective commitment to cultivate together the dream of a new humanism at the height of human expectations and the purpose of God.", insisted the Argentine pontiff.
