"I would encourage you to keep in mind all those people around us who are trapped in a cycle of poverty. They too need to be given hope. The fight against poverty and hunger must be fought constantly and on many fronts, especially in its causes."
- Pope Francis, from his address to U.S. Congress Sept. 24, 2015
