In the final days of his visit to the U.S., Pope Francis addressed the U.N. General Assembly in New York. The pontiff called the world leaders to fight against slave labor, trafficking of humans, weapons and drugs, and to protect our “common home,” the earth, because “harm done to the environment is harm done to humanity.” Also, in Philadelphia, the Pope gave a special message for Latinos and immigrants. This program includes segments of his sweeping speeches.
