Pope Francis on Thursday urged governments around the world to show more solidarity and strive for equality following a period of economic crisis, a day after being declared "Person of the Year" by Time magazine. Pope Francis called for a "Culture of Solidarity" and said the biblical story of Cain and Abel showed "the difficult task to which all men and women are called to live as one and taking care of each other." He also reiterated his critique of financial speculators saying they were often "both predatory and harmful for entire economic and social systems, exposing millions of men and women to poverty."
