Vatican City 03 June 2015 "A special thought I address to the workers of the Whirpool factory in Carinaro - the Pope said at the general audience in St. Peter's Square - and I hope that their serious employment situation can find a quick and fair solution, in respect of the rights of all, especially of families ".Pope Francis continued the cycle of catechesis on the family, reflecting "on the consideration of the vulnerabilities that families have". "The situation of the entire country - said the Holy Father after the appeal for the workers of Whirlpool - is particularly difficult. It is important that there is an incisive commitment to open up hope". Then the Pope invited all Christians to be ever closer to the families that poverty puts to the test. "Think - he said to the faithful - you all know someone, a father without a job, a mother without a job: the family suffers, ties are weakened, this is bad", and "the lack or loss of work, or its strong precariousness, impact heavily on family life, putting relationships to the test, and living conditions in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods, with housing and transport problems, as well as the reduction of social, health and educational services, cause further difficulties. material factors are added to the damage caused to the family by pseudo-models, spread by the mass-media based on consumerism and the cult of appearing, which influence the poorest social classes and increase the disintegration of family ties ".
