Employers exploiting their workers are committing a mortal sin, says Pope Francis

Pope Francis' homily for his weekly audience in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican last Thursday focused on the exploitation of workers for profit, saying it is a modern-day form of slavery. In addition, the Pope has declared that this act is considered a mortal sin.
"This is starving the people with their work for my own profit! Living on the blood of the people. And this is a mortal sin," Pope Francis said at the service, according to a Vatican Radio transcript of his homily.
