VATICAN CITY Pope Francis has delivered an off-the-cuff, mini-encyclical on the poor, labor injustices and the environment, saying he's not preaching communism but the Gospel.

Francis' remarks to the World Meeting of Popular Movements, delivered Tuesday in his native Spanish, ran for more than six pages, single-spaced. It was one of his longest speeches yet and a clear sign that the issues are particularly close to his heart.

Francis said the poor need land, a roof over their head and work, and said he knew well that "some will think that if I talk about this, the pope is communist."

He said: "They don't understand that love for the poor is at the center of the Gospel. Demanding this isn't unusual, it's the social doctrine of the church."

Pope Delivers Mini-Encyclical on Poor, Environment

Pope Francis delivered an off-the-cuff, mini-encyclical on the rights of the poor, the injustices of unemployment, and the need for environmental protection Tuesday, saying he's not preaching communism but the Gospel.

Francis' remarks to the World Meeting of Popular Movements, delivered in his native Spanish, ran for more than six pages, single-spaced. It was one of the longest speeches of his pontificate and a clear sign that the issues are particularly close to his heart.

Francis said the poor need land, a roof over their head and work, and said he knew well that "If I talk about this, some will think that the pope is communist."

"They don't understand that love for the poor is at the center of the Gospel," he said. "Demanding this isn't unusual, it's the social doctrine of the church."

Francis has already been branded a Marxist by conservative U.S. commentators for his unbridled criticism of capitalist excesses, for his demand that governments redistribute social benefits to the needy, and his call for the church to be a "poor church, for the poor."

His speech Tuesday broadened his concerns to include the environment, the rights for farmers to have land, and for young people to have work. He promised that the concerns of the poor would be highlighted in his upcoming encyclical on ecology and the environment.

"Today I want to unite my voice with yours and accompany you in your fight," he said.

Among those in the audience were Argentine "cartoneros," who sift through garbage looking for recyclable goods. As archbishop of Buenos Aires, then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was particularly close to the cartoneros; as pope he has maintained his support for their plight.

Francis had an informal meeting Tuesday with Bolivian President Evo Morales, who was part of the delegation.

Animal Farm

George Orwells savage 1945 satire on Soviet Communism provided the basis for Britains first-ever publicly screened feature-length animation. Its an easily read allegory. The creatures of Animal Farm (i.e. Russia) suffer under the brutal tyranny of Farmer Jones (the Tsars). Inspired by aged prize boar Old Major (Karl Marx) they rise up, throw out the tyrant and set up a self-governing farm where All Animals Are Equal. An attack by Jones is seen off under the leadership of heroic pig Snowball (Trotsky) but jealous rival Napoleon (Stalin) has him killed. The animals soon find themselves slaving under a tyranny even worse than before, for All Animals Are Equal But Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others.

The leading UK animators of the period, husband-and-wife team John Halas and Joy Batchelor stick pretty closely to Orwells original, despite simplifying the storyline and giving it a sort-of-happy ending. The animations starker and more hard-edged than audiences of the time would have been used to, though here and there we get moments of Disneyesque whimsy and the odd cute duckling. But the power and anger of Orwells fable come through strongly, the characterisation is vivid and the battle sequences (theres more than one attack on the farm) hit home with dynamic impact.

As it turned out, this was Halas and Batchelors only feature. The box-office was disappointing parents expecting a tale of cuddly animals were appalled by the graphic violence. Still, Animal Farm wasnt a complete financial disaster: it later emerged that the project was secretly funded by the CIA, who saw it as a potent piece of anti-Communist propaganda
