Pope Francis said on Wednesday that the Catholic Church does not want people to donate their "dirty money" earned by abusing underpaid employers.
"Some donors come to the Church offering profits from the blood of people who have been exploited, mistreated, enslaved with badly paid work," Pope Francis said during the Pope's regular weekly audience with pilgrims at the Vatican.
"I will say to them: 'Please take your money away, burn it'," said the Pope who had kept safe the poor and clean the Vatican financial issue during his papacy.
"The people of God... do not need dirty money, they need hearts that are open to God's mercy," he further said.
The pope had always mentioned bad about money or branded money "the dung of the devil" and he condemned the evils of unconstrained capitalism, which prompts to criticism from some US business leaders. During the meeting with diplomats in the year 2013, the pope said "We have created new idols" and "the golden calf of old has found a new and heartless image in the cult of money and the dictatorship of an economy which is faceless and lacking any truly humane goal".
According to the Pope, the major reason why there is an increase on economic and social woes all over the worls is because of our "relationship with money and acceptance of its power over ourselves and the society".
The Holy See has increased its power on Vatican's financial intelligence authority or AIF which needs to be done aggressively according to a European finance watchdog.
