Pope Francis emphasizes that the Christian faith is not a private matter through his social message. He addresses all the pressing challenges of our time: refugees, hunger, unemployment, an idolatrous economic system, climate change, wars, and terrorism. He questions the causes of these destructive development trends, examines them from a Christian perspective, and outlines ways to overcome the crises. He places great hope in grassroots global engagement. This book presents and analyzes the Pope's social message—mostly in his own words. It becomes clear: no one can exempt themselves from the commitment to a better world.
