Pope tells Papua New Guinea leaders natural resources must benefit 'entire community'

Pope Francis delivers a pointed warning to Papua New Guinea's leaders that the country's sizable resource wealth must benefit all -- a politically charged demand in a nation where many believe their riches are being stolen or squandered.

"These goods are destined by God for the entire community", the pontiff told a gathering of politicians, diplomats and civic leaders on the first full day of a visit to the South Pacific nation.
