“The times talk to us of so much poverty in the world and this is a scandal. Poverty in the world is a scandal. In a world where there is so much wealth, so many resources to feed everyone, it is unfathomable that there are so many hungry children, so many children without education, so many poor persons.”
— Pope Francis

Simplified Meaning:
This quote is pointing out how shocking it is that poverty exists when the world is so rich. It highlights the unfairness of having so many resources and wealth while many people suffer from hunger and lack of education. For instance, imagine a big party with lots of food, but a few people at the party are left starving. It doesn't seem right because there’s enough to go around, but some people still don’t get anything. This idea can be applied to our world; we have the means to take care of everyone, but not everyone is cared for. To change this, people can start by sharing more and helping out those in need, making sure that wealth and resources are better distributed so no one has to suffer from poverty.
