POUA mourns the loss of Pope Francis, an ardent social justice advocate and ally. At a gathering in 2015 in the midst of folks experiencing homelessness and poverty, Pope Francis remarked, “We can find no social or moral justification, no justification whatsoever, for lack of housing.” We at POUA completely agree. We are saddened by this immense loss for the Catholic community and the world and will continue to be inspired by the legacy of his leadership, values and life’s work.
