Blessed are the tax collectors: Pope praises Italy’s inland revenue workers
The Independent says Pope Francis shared his support for tax collectors on Monday, saying they are vital for the functioning of a fair society and a “guarantee of equality”.
Speaking to a delegation of the Agenzia delle Entrate, Italy’s tax collection agency, the Pope reflected on the Biblical roots of taxation and its role in bettering inequality.
He said taxation “must favour the redistribution of wealth, safeguarding the dignity of the poor and the least, who always risk being trodden underfoot by the powerful. The taxman, when he or she is just, promotes the common good.
