Pope Greets Foundation Established by St. John Paul II Celebrating 30 Years

Pope Francis calls for creating a waste-free economy by seeking the good of all. The Holy Father received the Centesimus Annus Foundation on the occasion of its 30th anniversary and he thanked it for its commitment to speaking the social doctrine of the Church. The Pope urged the foundation to “contribute to a thought and action that favors the growth of a community in which to walk together on the path of peace.” Board member of Centesimus Annus in Germany, Stephanie Zu Loewenstein, joins to tell us more about their audience with Pope Francis and what the Holy Father emphasized in particular. Stephanie’s foundation is celebrating its 30th anniversary. She briefly shares more about the activities and topics they mainly focus on. Stephanie was one of the speakers in a session Tuesday afternoon dedicated to the future of Centesimus Annus. She fills us in on that.
