QUOTE: Money at the service of life can be managed in the right way by #cooperatives -Pope Francis

Pope Francis has repeatedly hailed cooperatives. Speaking to an audience in Rome, the pope said: “Cooperatives should continue to be the motor that raises and develops the weakest part of our communities and civil society.”

In Bolivia he spoke of how he has seen how cooperatives were able to create work where there were only crumbs of an idolatrous economy. He has often spoke about how he developed an enthusiasm for cooperatives when, as a teenager, he heard his father talk about Christian cooperativism.
