"Francis' annual peace message, released Wednesday, focused on drawing attention to the estimated 35 million people enslaved around the world and efforts to free them."
It listed victims of organ trafficking, exploited miners and farm workers, child laborers, soldiers and beggars, sex slaves, women sold for arranged marriages and even people held captive by terror organizations as all victims of slavery who deserve the world's help.
Even the Pope is in denial about the scope of Ponzinomic slavery
According to the Pope, half of an entire ancient Rome is now enslaved under today's Globalization. That 35 million figure, assumes of course, that the World Bank's $1.25/day Third World poverty line isn't history's largest slavery rationalization - which it is - so the true number is off by a factor of about 100x, not including the millions more in the developed world, who have joined the ranks of the Third World. Basically the equivalent of 50 ancient Romes have now been enslaved to Globalization. And clearly businesses and governments can't solve the problem, because they are the problem - Global Ponzinomics IS de facto slavery, with a lottery clause, in the event of adoption by Angelina Jolie. Without ending the Globalized Ponzi scheme, there can be no freedom for factory slaves and corporatized zombies, who are bought and sold like human cattle.

It would be cynical to assume that the Pope doesn't mean the best - clearly he does - however, de facto slavery is baked into the status quo, so token band-aid programs and UN resolutions, just delay major "reform", until forever. "Let them eat cake" syndrome - Fantastical goals without any viable plan for achieving them.
Only collapse can bring major reform, and fortunately that requires no praying whatsoever - it only requires the vast majority to do what they do best, which is shoving their heads up their asses and pretending that it can't happen to them.
In order to end slavery, the stoned masses need to be sufficiently motivated
