(ANSA) - Vatican City, July 25 - Pope Francis on Monday
urged participants in a conference on integral ecology in Poland
for World Youth Day to strive for an economy that might also
promote the full realisation of every human being.
In a message to the conference promoted by the Italian and
Polish environment ministries, foundations and the WYD local
organising committee, the pope said the institutions must be
"sensitised so that the economic system is not oriented
exclusively towards the consumption of natural resources and
human beings, but promotes the full realisation of every person
and authentic development".
Francis "urges Creation to be considered as a marvellous
gift from God so it is used to the benefit of all".
