Pope Francis has told the head of the United Nations that it must do more to help the poor and redistribute wealth.

 

In a meeting with the U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon today, he called on the world’s governments to promote an ‘ethical mobilisation’ of solidarity with those less well-off and adopt a new spirit of generosity to address the causes of poverty and hunger.

 

The pontiff made his comments in an address to Mr Ban and the leaders of several U.N. agencies who were all meeting in Rome.

 

Pope Francis has consistently used his meetings with world leaders, including U.S. President Barack Obama, to champion the cause of the world’s poorest.

 
In the past 14 months since his election, Francis has issued several strong attacks on the global economic system, saying in one speech last September that it could no longer be based on ‘a god called money’.
