Cardinal Turkson: "Pope Francis is not anti-business"
Vatican Radio) The President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, Cardinal Peter Turkson, on Monday addressed a conference on “Care for our Common Home in the context of Large Scale Investments in Mining and Agriculture” in Lusaka, Zambia.
His speech was entitled “An Overview of Laudato si’ – What are the main issues and key concerns?”
**During his remarks, Cardinal Turkson said Pope Francis “is not anti-business.”
“But what he decries is an obsession with profit and the deification of the market,” – the Cardinal explained – “Profit has its role in sustaining an enterprise and allowing it to improve and innovate. Pope Francis calls upon business to lead by harnessing its creativity to solve pressing human needs.**”
