Pope Francis has once again rejected claims that his concern for the poor and criticisms of capitalism make him a communist, by declaring that he is merely following the Gospel. In one his longest speeches as Pope, the Holy See outlined his views on a wide range of issues- from poverty and the injustices of unemployment to the need to protect the environment. ‘I want to unite my voice with yours and accompany you in your fight,’ he said at the World Meeting of Popular Movements, which is holding a three-day conference in Rome involving groups including trade unions, peasant farmers.
