The homies have taken it upon themselves to yap about Rerum Novarum in honor of the recent selection of Pope Leo XIV. This is a very informal and broad discussion concerning certain aspects of the encyclical that stuck out to us as individuals. Not every topic was touched upon, which is why we encourage listeners to read the document for themselves. Have included links to some podcast episodes that perform a much more comprehensive deep dive on the topic at hand. Please like and comment, especially if we incorrectly portray any aspect of Church teaching found within the encyclical (no me gusta heresy). Enjoy (or don’t)!
Correction on 31-33 minute mark, would be more accurate to say that Jesus and his family were part of the working class during his earthly ministry rather than the poor, although some inclusions from scripture point to the assets/social status of the Holy Family. https://www.catholic.com/qa/was-jesus-wealthy
