Pope Francis laid heavy emphasis on inequalities in a September 27 address to the Pontifical Academy for Life, which was holding a session on “Public Health in a Global Perspective.” The Pope said that the Covid epidemic has exposed the inequalities in health care. He also spoke out against abortion and euthanasia, and encouraged the Pontifical Academy for Life to play a lead role in the fight against climate change.

St. Vincent de Paul (1581 - 1660) was born in Gascony, France, and died in Paris. He studied theology at Toulouse and was ordained a priest in 1600. As a young priest he fell into the hands of Mohammedan pirates who carried him off to Africa. After his return to France he became successively parish priest, grand almoner of the galley slaves, and spiritual director of the Visitation nuns. He founded the Congregation of the Priests of the Mission or Lazarists to preach especially to country people. With the help of Louise de Marillac he established the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity to care for young girls, for the needy, sick, and foundlings. He died at St. Lazarus's which was the center of his Congregation. Leo XIII proclaimed him special patron of charitable institutions.
