Pope Francis said Monday that
excessive income inequality created problems at the core of
society in an audience with entrepreneurs taking part in the
assembly of Italian industrial association Confindustria.
"If the gap between the highest and lowest salaries becomes too
wide, the business community becomes sick, and soon the society
becomes sick," the Argentine pontiff said.
Francis called on business leaders to give jobs to young people.
"Young people need your faith and you need young people because
businesses without young people lose innovation,. energy,
enthusiasm".
He also asked the business community to make efforts to ensure
women do not lose their jobs when they get pregnant.
