less on capitalism and wealth.

Pope's post-COVID encyclical envisions a less populist, less capitalist world [[link removed]]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Fratelli Tutti, a lengthy encyclical released yesterday, Pope Francis lays out
a comprehensive vision for how the world should change after the coronavirus pandemic,
imagining societies that are more caring, more focused on helping those in need
and fundamentally less attached to the principles of market capitalism.
The pope addressed several topics including: trickle-down economics, the world's
unfair distribution of wealth, continued use of the just war theory and the death
penalty, and populist leaders who appeal to people's "basest and most selfish inclinations."
Fratelli Tutti is a nod to the familial bonds that connect all the world's peoples,
and at times articulates viewpoints that might well align with a democratic socialist
manifesto. It is also marked by a sadness and even indignation at the scores of
people who have died during the pandemic for want of better distribution of health
care resources.
"Once this health crisis passes, our worst response would be to plunge even more
deeply into feverish consumerism and new forms of egotistic self-preservation,"
Francis writes in the opening chapter.

The moral and anthropological lessons the Holy Father draws in
Fratelli Tutti could scarcely be more relevant to the unique circumstances of the
Catholic Church in the United States, writes NCR columnist Michael Sean Winters

*
Living like Jesus means prioritizing relationship above all else, and in many ways
the Franciscan tradition has, as the pope acknowledged, shaped the focus of Fratelli
Tutti, writes NCR columnist Franciscan Fr. Daniel Horan [[link removed]].
