It is not by chance that Pope Francis speaks of the best politics. His analysis could not forget the current division between populism and liberalism. Both are rejected by the pontiff. One because it flattens the definition of the people until it disappears, and in doing so it opens the way to dictatorship.

Fr. Giuseppe Caramazza: “The Regeneration of Political Life”
Bro. Daniele Giusti: “Fruitfulness and Creativity from Overcoming Ideological and Cultural Barriers”
Monday, February 21, 2022
In the opening words of the Fifth Chapter of Fratelli tutti – A Better Kind of Politics – Pope Francis tells us that the best politics is that which is placed at the service of the true common good, and that only such politics can serve the purpose of accompanying peoples and nations to live that social friendship on which human fraternity is grafted.
Bro. Simone Dalla Monica: “Getting Involved Personally”
Monday, February 21, 2022
From the outset, this title seems ambitious, could it be that Francis is in search of the third way between capitalism and socialism? What does the Church, the Magisterium and the Social Doctrine of the Church have to say again about politics in a document that bears in its title the ideal of fraternity?

Fr. Francesco Pierli: “Ricapitulate” all things on Christ
Saturday, February 12, 2022
The popular view of the missionary was that he would “go forth” to the non-Christian world to gradually include it in a Christianity that would be the only religion of humankind. Today, however, a missionary goes out to recapitulate everything in Christ. To unite peoples, cultures, religions, in the Kingdom of God as announced by Jesus.
Fr. Giuseppe Caramazza: “Becoming Citizens”
Saturday, February 12, 2022
In chapter four of Fratelli tutti, Pope Francis introduces the theme of citizenship. This is no small matter. In fact, Francis emphasises that “it is necessary to work to establish in our societies the concept of full citizenship and to renounce the discriminatory use of the term minorities, which carries with it the seeds of isolation and inferiority; it paves the way for hostility and discord and takes away the religious and civil rights and achievements of some citizens by discriminating against them”(FT 131).
