Our Relationships With Others

Following reading Pope Francis' encyclical, Fratelli Tutti On Fraternity and Social Friendship, Fr. Jeff offers these articles reflecting on how we relate to one another.  Please note that these articles do not intend to cover the entirety of the encyclical.  I pick these four topics based on what I feel is most relevant to the questions people have asked me in recent months.

• "Our Relationships with One Another"
• "The Right to Private Property and Loving Our Neighbor"
• "Seeking Real Dialogue"
• "Remembering the Past and Building a Better Future"

In April 2024, the Vatican Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith issued "Dignitas Infinita" discussing the concepts behind our understanding of human dignity and examples of the importance of human dignity in real life situations.  Please see Part I and Part II of my reflection on "Dignitas Infinita" for more on this.
