Pope Leo XIV slams millions facing hunger worldwide as 'collective failure'

Pope Leo XIV on Thursday slammed the world's failure to stop millions of people from facing hunger, blaming a "soulless economy" and calling on people to rethink their lifestyles and priorities.

"At a time when science has prolonged life expectancy, technology has brought continents closer together, and knowledge has opened up once unimaginable horizons, allowing millions of human beings to live -- and die -- victims of hunger is a collective failure, an ethical aberration, a historical sin," Leo said in a speech at the U.N.'s agricultural agency.
