León XIV pide a los católicos “evaluar” a los políticos basándose en la “justicia social”

In brief

Pope Leo XIV asked Catholics to responsibly evaluate current social and political projects based on social justice during a general audience on Wednesday.

Speaking to thousands of faithful in St. Peter's Square, the Pope continued a series of catechesis sessions on the pastoral constitution Gaudium et Spes. Ruben Cruz reported for Vida Nueva that the Pope's remarks encouraged believers to use social justice as a standard when assessing political proposals.
