 That from Pope Francis. Breaking from his catechetical series centered on the Holy Spirit, the Holy Father addressed the issue of drug abuse and trafficking during Wednesday's general audience marking World Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. He said drug abuse impoverishes every community it touches, echoing the words of St. John Paul II, saying it diminishes human strength and moral fiber, undermines valued principles, and destroys the desire to live and contribute to a better society.
