Duluth, Minnesota (OpEdNews) July 10, 2023: The Canadian Jesuit Cardinal Michael Czerny (born in 1946) and the Italian priest and theologian Christian Barone (born in 1982) have published the helpful book Siblings All, Sign of the Times: The Social Teaching of Pope Francis, translated from the Italian by Julian Paparelli (Orbis Books, 2022; orig. Italian ed., 2021).
Cardinal Czerny is the Prefect of the Vatican's Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development. Father Barone teaches theology at the Jesuit-sponsored Gregorian University in Rome.
As the words "Siblings All" in the book's title suggest, it is centered on People Francis' 2020 encyclical letter Fratelli Tutti (Latin for "Siblings All"). The two authors have set themselves the task of discussing the pope's visionary 2020 encyclical in terms of relevant themes in the documents of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) in the Roman Catholic Church and in recent papal documents.
I have profiled the doctrinally conservative Pope Francis in my OEN article "Pope Francis on Evil and Satan" (dated March 24, 2019):
Pope Francis' 2020 encyclical is available in English and other languages at the Vatican's website.
I have discussed Pope Francis' 2020 encyclical briefly in my OEN article "Pope Francis' Vision for the World" (dated October 15, 2020):
Also in 2020, Pope Francis, in conversation with his biographer the lay English Catholic journalist Austen Ivereigh, advanced his vision of the future in the book Let Us Dream: The Path to a Better Future (Simon & Schuster).
I discuss their book in my OEN article "Pope Francis' Let Us Dream" (dated December 4, 2020):
Now, Catholic social teaching is the subject of the lay English Catholic theologian Anna Rowlands' book Towards a Politics of Communion: Catholic Social Teaching in Dark Times (T&T Clark, 2021). Because she characterizes the overall aim of Catholic social teaching, including Pope Francis' 2020 encyclical, as working "Towards a Politics of Communion," perhaps we can also see the pope's 2020 encyclical's aim as also working "Towards a Politics of Communion."
I have discussed her 2021 book in my OEN article "Anna Rowlands on Catholic Social Teaching" (dated December 11, 2022):
