SEE ON THE SITUATION OF LAND

Pope Francis criticizes capitalism the Ash Wednesday -2016.

He asked for that the land and the money were distributed "for all". There were fewer social inequalities.

The hope is that the Jubilee of Mercy serve to build a society without discrimination, with solidarity, based on a fair distribution of resources so that each has an equal share of the land and money. ... / .. And not only it is remained in the hands of a few. If I'm not mistaken, about 80% of the wealth of humanity is in the hands of 20% of the people ", Pope laments.

Given the diversity of the cultures of the peoples in all continents, the traditional way of living, feeding, dressing ... the ancestral form of contact with nature, Mother-land for life, which produces abundant food for all, without exclusion. Given the permanent contact with the entire planet, its mineral resources, energy, healing, astral radiation or others, today they are pillaged by foreigners who have the pretext of spreading “civilization”, whole territories for colonization are invaded and they continue to exploit the property which does not belong to resell for their personal benefits. They often captured natives as slaves for hundreds of thousands, and they were sold as labourers on other continents, with the imposition of an unknown god represented by a cross, and trampling symbols of indigenous deities ... this and many acts of cultural domination are the bad historical acts of conquerors who arrived with the colonial troops of rich countries, trying to destroy everything they found. Whereas the cultural roots of the invaded countries, still alive, are as DNA; it is inside the DNA where the genetic material is stored in each person, in each country and is transmitted to the descendants, for good or for evil. These roots continue today in many peoples, ethnic groups, ancient nations and produce a new way of living in solidarity in a modern economy.

In Kenya, Pope Francis found many difficulties of piled population in the suburbs of large cities, and without a minimum of material resources to live with their families in a situation of neocolonialism: denying water to a family, it doesn't matter under what pretext, is a great injustice, especially when you gain benefits at the expense of those who have an urgent need. This context of indifference and hostility faced neighbourhoods (favelas), worsen when violence spreads. These are not isolated cases, but a consequence of the new forms of colonialism claiming that African countries are "pieces of a mechanism, part of a huge gear" (John Paul II)

SEE - ON HOUSING

6 - Quote cases like this in your own country and cite public policies that oppose the destruction of nature.

I have already said and I repeat: housing for every family. Remember that Jesus was born in a stable because there was no room at the inns, which his family had to leave their homes and flee to Egypt, pursued by Herod. Nowadays, there are many homeless families because they have never had or because they have lost for various reasons. The family and housing go hand in hand! However, a roof, to be a home, should also have a Community dimension: the neighbourhood. And it is precisely in the neighbourhood we started to build this great family of mankind, from what is immediate, coexistence with neighbours. Speech of Pope Francis to participants in the World Meeting of Popular Movements. October 2014.

Women, increasingly in the world, have emancipated themselves from a situation of submission, over the centuries, but them still fail to take their place, which corresponds to them in terms of the labour market, politics, gender, in the Church ... or simply equal pay as men for the same material or social work.

Pope Francis's opinion can be useful for an evangical reflection which reaches to discover the God's plan for woman's place in te society we want yo build. In a text published by the Vatican 3rd May, 2016, Pope Francis recognized that "very little has been done for women in difficult situations, despised, marginalized and even reduced to slavery." "We must condemn sexual violence against women and remove barriers that prevent their full integration into social, political, economic and ecclesial life". "If we think it is right, show the call as I do it in all countries of the world, women are honoured, respected and its essential social contribution is highlighted ",

It is often referred to the abolition of corruption, as original sin. It is practised by the rich, big business, politicians, people with power- from any political party (which is a temptation for all without distinction, and punish the guilty, when there is irrefutable evidence).
