Francis, addressing a @EnMovPop meeting, says it “saddens me” that some in the Church “get annoyed” by Catholic social doctrine.

Francis repeats two suggestions he has made for the post-pandemic world: a universal basic income “so that everyone in the world may have access to the most basic necessities” and shortening the working day to prevent overwork & those “overwhelmed by lack of work.”
