In Bolivia, Pope Francis warns against discarding the weak

Speaking about the poor among the poor, Pope Francis on Thursday urged hundreds of thousands of worshipers gathered in the Bolivian lowlands to avoid a culture that would "discard" those people deemed less productive.

And speaking later to a group of indigenous people and peasants, he made a remarkable demand for structural economic change and added an apology for the colonial-era atrocities committed “in the name of God.”
