As the virus continues to claim lives and wreak havoc on economies around the world, the Pope in recent months has tried to use all his moral force to demand a new post-pandemic society, more respectful of the poor and the environment.

Jorge Bergoglio — the birth name of Francis, called for concurrent cure for the COVID-19 with a larger virus of social injustice, inequality of opportunity, marginalization, and the lack of protection for the weakest.” Pharmaceutical companies are in a race to be the first to launch a vaccine against the disease, which has killed nearly 775,000 people worldwide since its emergence at the end of December.
