Pope Francis died on Monday April 21, 2025. And to remember and celebrate his life, we're bringing out an episode from our archives featuring social ethicist and Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia, Nichole M. Flores. Ryan McAnnally-Linz interviewed her in early 2021 about Fratelli Tutti, an encyclical teaching he published 6 months into the COVID-19 pandemic. From that encyclical he writes:“Here we have a splendid secret that shows us how to dream and to turn our life into a wonderful adventure. No one can face life in isolation… We need a community that supports and helps us, in which we can help one another to keep looking ahead. How important it is to dream together… By ourselves, we risk seeing mirages, things that are not there. Dreams, on the other hand, are built together. Let us dream, then, as a single human family, as fellow travelers sharing the same flesh, as children of the same earth which is our common home, each of us bringing the richness of his or her beliefs and convictions, each of us with his or her own voice, brothers and sisters all." (Pope Francis, Fratelli Tutti)Last year, in the midst of a global nightmare, Pope Francis invited the world to dream together of something different. He released Fratelli Tutti in October 2020—a message of friendship, dignity, and solidarity not just to Catholics, but "to all people of good will"—for the whole human community. In this episode, social ethicist Nichole Flores (University of Virginia) explains papal encyclicals and works through the moral vision of Fratelli Tutti, highlighting especially Pope Francis's views on faith as seeing with the eyes of Christ, the implications of human dignity for discourse, justice and solidarity, and finally the language of dreaming together of a different world.Support For the Life of the World: Give to the Yale Center for Faith & CultureShow NotesRead the entire text of Fratelli Tutti online hereWhat is a papal encyclical?

Quick Overview Dr. Tucker recalls the extraordinary time when the Earth Charter was drafted and how exciting it was when the Earth Charter principles and the specifics of world religions were synergizing. She observes that the consultation and drafting process identified some of the common values across cultures and religions, despite the differences, including different cultural expressions of ethics. For her, the Earth Charter document represents one of the most integrated visions for the way forward, breaking disciplinary silos and bringing together the dimensions of cosmology, ecology, justice, democracy, and peace. Dr. Tucker reflects on the notion of the “Earth Community,” and she cites present-day examples to demonstrate how “interdependence” leads to “responsibility.” Reflecting on Pope Francis' two latest encyclicals, as clear and wonderful contributions to our current times, Dr. Tucker concludes that they can be seen as continuity with and further development of the Earth Charter.
Episode 108 Fratelli Tutti Papal Encyclical Description: Papal encyclicals are a big deal and they don’t come out often. Encyclicals are the way the popes of Rome push out their big new teachings. Francis I has been pope a little over 7 years by this point in October 2020 and has just published his third Papal Encyclical. Francis’ encyclicals are whales too. They are huge documents stuffed with carefully worded language. We’ve brought in today a guest today to talk about this latest encyclical. Glenn Amorosia is an amateur historian of Papal Encyclicals. I will let Glenn introduce himself shortly, but I need to mention that he is an incredible source of knowledge for papal encyclicals. I really like to support people who dedicate their spare time to intellectual pursuits and mastering a subject area. With that, join Glenn and I as we dissect this latest papal encyclical, Fratelli Tutti.

I speak with two young Catholic women about Feminism. How to overcome feminism? What makes Feminism evil? What makes feminism so dangerous to a happy life?Check out Emily's Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZMeGe56DtLuhSPBDy0sDOQ The same false teachers who try to dim the luster of conjugal faith and purity do not scruple to do away with the honorable and trusting obedience which the woman owes to the man. Many of them even go further and assert that such a subjection of one party to the other is unworthy of human dignity, that the rights of husband and wife are equal; wherefore, they boldly proclaim the emancipation of women has been or ought to be effected. This emancipation in their ideas must be threefold, in the ruling of the domestic society, in the administration of family affairs and in the rearing of the children. …This, however, is not the true emancipation of woman, nor that rational and exalted liberty which belongs to the noble office of a Christian woman and wife; it is rather the debasing of the womanly character and the dignity of motherhood, and indeed of the whole family, as a result of which the husband suffers the loss of his wife, the children of their mother, and the home and the whole family of an ever watchful guardian. More than this, this false liberty and unnatural equality with the husband is to the detriment of the woman herself, for if the woman descends from her truly regal throne to which she has been raised within the walls of the home by means of the Gospel, she will soon be reduced to the old state of slavery (if not in appearance, certainly in reality) and become as amongst the pagans the mere instrument of man (Casti Cannubii, §§74–75).Papal Encyclicals relating to Feminism or the Role of Women or relatedPapal Encyclicals:Casti Connubii Encyclical Of Pope Pius XI On Christian MarriageA Papal Decree Concerning Modesty His Holiness Pope Pius Xi 12 January 1930Sacra Propediem Encyclical Of Pope Benedict XV Paragraph 19On the Doctrine of the Modernists Pope Pius X - 1907Address to Midwives on the Nature of Their Profession Pope Pius XII - 1951Papal Directives For The Woman Of Today Pope Pius XII - 1947
We must always have an external standard to determine the accuracy of our thinking. We cannot get sucked into the culture of relativism, modernism, and immanantism which hold that there is no such this as absolute truth, and that our standard of truth is found within us (based on our own fickle, whimsical thoughts and feelings). The rule of mass is a scale. We know what something weighs by weighing it ie. Comparing it to an objective standard The rule of length or width is a tape measure or ruler. We know how long something is by measuring it ie. Comparing it to an objective standard. The rule of faith an objective standard to measure if what one believes is true. The Primary Rule of Faith is God. Since God chooses to communicate with us indirectly, we must use 2 Secondary Rules of Faith (that should always coincide). The 2 Secondary Rules of Faith are: (1) Proximate Rule of Faith (Magisterium) (2) Remote Rule of Faith (A) Sacred Scripture (B) Sacred Tradition I. Documents a. Papal Encyclicals b. Writings of the Saints c. Other approved Sacred documents II. Monuments a. Approved Private Revelation b. Sacramentals c. Religious Artwork d. Rituals/Liturgies e. Churches f. Other Sacred monuments Remember, the Magisterium is the servant of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, not the inventor of it. The Magisterium may clarify teachings, but never contradict or invent them. We are instructed to follow the steps of St Paul. “I have passed on to you, first what I also received.”
Is capitalism part of the poverty problem facing the world or part of the solution? Are human beings doing a good job preserving the earth for future generations? To improve the world, should we improve capitalism or ourselves? Robert Whaples of Wake Forest University talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about "Laudato Si'," Pope Francis's encyclical on capitalism, poverty, and environmental issues.
Fr. Peter Calabrese *The role of Papal Encyclicals in Church Teaching*
The goal of this series is to equip Catholics to live out the mission of the Church, which is to proclaim Christ to the whole world. We will explore what this means for the faithful laity using the documents of Vatican II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The documents of the Second Vatican Council will be examined through the hermeneutic of continuity, which was championed by Pope Benedict XVI among others. This council has continued what the Church has always said, but stated with a new vigor and a focus on reaching out to the modern world. Vatican II was a council of reform, not a radical break with the past. The next six sessions will explore several important Papal Encyclicals and other Church documents from Popes Paul VI, John Paul II, and Francis. These documents will help us grow in faith and learn to share our faith with others.
