Pope Francis asks humanity to "limit and direct technology"

On the 24th of September, thousands participated in the "Moral Action on Climate" rally just outside the security zone as the Pope addressed Congress. The Pontiff asked Congress directly to abolish the death penalty and to show compassion for immigrants. He more generally called on the world to "limit and direct technology," and also to "put technology at the service of another type of progress." This is not the message Wall Street and extractive industries want to hear at the US Capitol.
