A Quote from Pope Francis about Hunger

Image in Palomas, Mexico
Today, and it breaks my heart to say it, finding a homeless person who has died of cold, is not news. Today, the news is scandals, that is news, but the many children who don't have food — that's not news. This is grave. We can't rest easy while things are this way.

-Pope Francis, in unscripted comments answering questions at a huge international gathering of Catholic associations in St. Peter's Square.
