Pope calls for end to economic exploitation, power-hungry church

Pope Francis leaves the Duomo, the Cathedral of St. Maria del Fiore, in Florence, Italy, Nov. 10. Pope Francis attended a meeting of Italy's bishops and cardinals in the Duomo during a one-day visit to Florence Nov. 10. The pope also met young people and was to celebrate Mass at a soccer stadium.

FLORENCE, Italy - Meeting workers and addressing a major gathering of the Catholic Church in Italy, Pope Francis demanded an end to economic exploitation, to clerics "obsessed" with power, to apathy among youth and to a cold, fearful church that forgets Christ is always by its side.
