About communism, Pope Francis said:
Her materialism had no hold over me. But learning about it through a courageous and honest person was helpful. I realized a few things, an aspect of the social, which I then found in the social doctrine of the Church
On atheists and believers trying to convert one another:
Proselytism is solemn nonsense, it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us.
Q. Your Holiness, is there is a single vision of the Good? And who decides what it is?
A. Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is Good.
Q. Your Holiness, you wrote that in your letter to me. The conscience is autonomous, you said, and everyone must obey his conscience.
A. And I repeat it here. Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.
Later in the interview, the Pope said:
The most serious of the evils that afflict the world these days are youth unemployment and the loneliness of the old.
