Pope Francis delivered a damning message European leaders Tuesday when he addressed the European Parliament Strasbourg. He denounced what he saw as Europe's 'throwaway culture' where the elderly, the terminally ill and unborn children are ignored. He said technology and economics were more important politicians than those suffering. He told his audience: "Men and women risk being reduced to mere cogs a machine that treats them as items consumption to be exploited, with the result that whenever a human life no longer proves useful that machine, it is discarded." He added: "It is the inevitable consequence a throwaway culture, and an uncontrolled consumerism".

The Pope was very critical Europe's politicians and systems. He warned that Europe's once dynamic, caring and artistic cultures were being eroded red-tape, saying: "The great ideas which once inspired Europe seem to have lost their attraction, only to be replaced the bureaucratic technicalities its institutions." He said bureaucracy was "perceived as insensitive individual peoples, if not downright harmful". The Pope said Europe risked losing its sense community, saying: "One the most common diseases in Europe today is the loneliness typical those who have no connection others. This is especially true the elderly, who are often abandoned their fate, and also the young."
