Pope Leo on Saturday called out companies who seek “dizzying” profits at the ‌cost of environmental pollution, on a visit to an area in Italy known as a hotbed for illegal dumping of toxic waste.

On a visit to Acerra, about 220 km (137 miles) south of Rome, the first U.S. pope urged the world to “reject temptations of ​power and enrichment linked to practices that pollute the land, water, air, and social coexistence.”
