Pope Francis on Thursday
stigmatised a fear of the poor that "makes us afraid for our
safety". In a message for the second World Day of the Poor, he
said the pleas of the poor "are silenced by dissonant tones,
often determined by a phobia for the poor". He said the poor
"are considered not only as indigent people, but also as people
bringing insecurity, instability, disorientation from our daily
habits and therefore , to be repelled and kep far away".
