The popular movements include those that organize informal workers who collect and recycle trash, gather people who live in the informal settlements on the outskirts of cities, rally citizens to promote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/08\/amazon-bishops-called-to-evangelize-defend-the-people-and-care-for-creation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">care of the environment<\/a>, assist subsistence farmers and rescue migrants at sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cHousing, work and land are sacred rights\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pope Leo greeted the participants and assured them that, like his predecessor Pope Francis, he believed \u201chousing, work and land are sacred rights, it is worthwhile to fight for them, and I would like you to hear me say \u2018I am here,\u2019 \u2018I am with you!&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He reiterated that he chose the name Leo because of Pope Leo XIII\u2019s landmark encyclical, \u201cRerum Novarum.\u201d Latin for \u201cOf New Things,\u201d the 1891 document addressed the new social and economic challenges posed by the Industrial Revolution, particularly its impact on labor and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/10\/standing-up-for-foreign-workers-exploited-in-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">workers\u2019 rights<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Too often, Pope Leo XIV said, when society looks at the \u201cnew things\u201d of the day, it looks at \u201cwhat\u2019s new\u201d for the privileged, the powerful and the financially secure, like \u201cautonomous vehicles, high-end mobile phones, cryptocurrencies and other such things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom the peripheries, however, things appear differently,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIs asking for housing, work and land, including food for the excluded, a \u2018new thing\u2019?\u201d he asked. These basic, fundamental needs are \u201cso current\u201d that they merit \u201can entire chapter in Christian social thought on the excluded in today\u2019s world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, he said, Pope Leo XIII \u201cdid not concentrate on industrial technology or on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/07\/bishops-denounce-false-solutions-to-the-global-climate-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new sources of energy<\/a>, but rather on the situation of workers,\u201d the poor and the oppressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor the first time and with absolute clarity, a pope said that the daily struggle for survival and for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/06\/catholic-sisters-protest-cuts-to-social-net-in-budget-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">social justice<\/a> were of fundamental importance for the Church,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exclusion: the new face of injustice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In his five-page speech, the pope sought to look at the \u201cnew things\u201d happening on \u201cthe periphery,\u201d that is, \u201cthe problems that strike the excluded\u201d and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/10\/love-for-the-poor-is-hallmark-of-faith-pope-leo-says-in-first-exhortation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">marginalized of today<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, in today\u2019s world, many old injustices continue, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Progress must always be \u201cmanaged through an ethic of responsibility, overcoming the risk of idolizing profit, and putting the human person and their integral development at the center,\u201d he said, especially by including marginalized communities \u201cin a collective and united effort to invert the dehumanizing tendencies of social injustices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe should ensure that the \u2018what\u2019s new\u2019 be managed in an appropriate way,\u201d he said. \u201cThe question should not remain only in the hands of the political, scientific or academic elites, but rather should involve all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReversing the course that continues dramatically excluding millions of people who remain on the margins,\u201d he said, is \u201ca central point in the debate on the \u2018new things.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, he said, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/01\/pope-hope-for-the-marginalized-is-key-to-peace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">exclusion<\/a> is the new face of social injustice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there is a surprising paradox, he said. \u201cThe lack of land, food, housing and decent work coexists with access to the new technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCell phones, social networks and even artificial intelligence are in the pockets of millions of persons, including the poor,\u201d he said, but more fundamental needs must not be neglected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pope Leo blamed this \u201csystemic arbitrariness\u201d on \u201cbad management\u201d that \u201cgenerates and increases inequalities with the pretext of progress.\u201d When promoting human dignity is not the focus, then \u201cthe system fails also in justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some \u201cnew things\u201d today, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/06\/world-watch-climate-action-must-continue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">climate change<\/a>, have a more devastating impact on the poor, the pope said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there is also \u201cthe new thing\u201d of the pharmaceutical industry, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While advances in medicine represent \u201cgreat progress for some,\u201d he said, \u201ca cult of physical well-being is being promoted, almost an idolatry of the body.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leo XIV warns of addiction and greed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Any mentality that reduces \u201cthe mystery of pain\u201d to something totally inhuman can lead to a dependence on pain medications, he said, \u201cthe sale of which obviously goes to increasing the earnings of the same pharmaceutical companies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis also leads to dependence on opioids, as has been devastating, particularly in the United States. For example, fentanyl, the drug of death, is the second most common cause of death among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/10\/catholic-groups-serving-the-poor-urge-end-to-government-shutdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the poor<\/a> in that country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe spread of new synthetic drugs, ever more lethal, is not only a crime involving the trafficking of drugs but really has to do with the production of pharmaceuticals and their profit, lacking a global ethic,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another aspect of the \u201cnew things\u201d that hurts the marginalized, he said, is the lifestyle of \u201cunbridled consumerism and a totally unrealizable level of economic success\u201d being constantly promoted, especially on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dependency on digital gambling, whose \u201cplatforms are designed to create compulsive dependence and generate addictive habits,\u201d is another new problem, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The development of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/09\/spirit-of-mission-is-ai-good-news-artificial-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new technologies<\/a> for computing and telecommunication also has a disproportionate effect on the poor because it depends on minerals \u2014 like coltan and lithium \u2014 often found in poor countries, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The extraction of these minerals \u201cdepends on paramilitary violence, child labor and the displacement of populations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pope urged the Church to support the poor and the excluded<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nations and corporations competing to extract the \u201cwhite gold\u201d of lithium, for example, threaten the sovereignty and stability of poor states, he said, \u201cto the point that some contractors and politicians boast of promoting coups and other forms of political destabilization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd, finally, I would like to accent the theme of security,\u201d the pope said. \u201cWith the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/10\/chicago-catholics-denounce-ice-tactics-against-immigrants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">abuse of vulnerable migrants<\/a>, we are witnessing, not the legitimate exercise of national sovereignty, but rather grave crimes committed or tolerated by the state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the same time, I am encouraged to see how the popular movements, the organizations of civil society and the church are addressing these new forms of dehumanization, constantly testifying that whoever is in need is our neighbor, our brother and our sister,\u201d he said. \u201cThis makes you champions of humanity, witnesses to justice, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/09\/the-cabrini-pledge-calls-faithful-to-be-keepers-of-hope-for-migrants-and-refugees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poets of solidarity<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The services that popular movements provide must be animated by love, he said. \u201cIn fact, when cooperatives and projects are formed to feed the hungry, give shelter to the homeless, rescue the shipwrecked, provide daycare, create jobs, access land and build houses, remember that we are not serving an ideology but truly living the Gospel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/06\/usccb-president-bishops-stand-with-immigrants-in-this-challenging-hour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Church must be with you<\/a>: a poor church for the poor, a church that reaches out, a church that runs risks, a church that is courageous, prophetic and joyful!\u201d Pope Leo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Featured image: Pope Leo XIV greets a woman during a gathering of popular movements as part of their Jubilee in the Paul VI Audience Hall at the Vatican Oct. 23, 2025.
