Vatican office supports Brit PM's push to cut poverty

The Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace supports British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's project to rally leaders of government, business and faith-based organizations in pushing to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.

"The time for simple promises has passed," said an Aug. 1 statement from the Vatican office, welcoming Brown's July 31 call at the United Nations for an international summit in 2008 to pressure governments to meet their commitments for reducing poverty and promoting development.
