RE: What Francis would do if he encountered poverty in the modern world

Francis would most likely be appalled if he saw how the world is today. There are tow extremes in the world and they mostly have to do with what country you are in. Most European, north american and australian countries do not suffer from poverty and hunger. However south american, african, and asian countries are under hard economic times and need the help of other countries that are more fortunate. I think that Francis would begin a campaign to encourage countries such as the united states and and china to provide more care and tools for people that are not able to provide for themselves.
