The event, entitled “Planting a flag in the face of dehumanization,” will take place on September 20, and is cosponsored by the Encuentro Mundial de Movimientos Populares (World Meeting of Popular Movements).
In his 2014 address, Pope Francis emphasized the “three t’s” (tierra, techo, and trabajo, or land, housing, and work), which has become a theme of his teaching:
This meeting of ours responds to a very concrete desire,
something that any father and mother would want for their children – a
desire for what should be within everyone’s reach, namely land, housing
and work. However, nowadays, it is sad to see that land, housing and
work are ever more distant for the majority. It is strange but, if I
talk about this, some say that the Pope is communist.
They do not understand that love for the poor is at the center of the
Gospel. Land, housing and work, what you struggle for, are sacred
rights. To make this claim is nothing unusual; it is the social teaching
of the Church.
