📜 Feast of Saint Pope Paul VI
Today we celebrate Pope Paul VI, the pope who brought the Second Vatican Council to its conclusion and helped shape modern Catholic Social Teaching.
Through landmark encyclicals such as Populorum Progressio, he offered a bold and prophetic vision of integral human development, insisting that economic progress must always serve the dignity of the human person and the common good.
💬 “Development cannot be limited to mere economic growth.” (Populorum Progressio, 14)
💬 “Development is the new name for peace.” (Populorum Progressio, 76)
His teaching remains deeply relevant today, reminding us that justice, solidarity, and authentic development are essential foundations for peace.
📖 Why not revisit Populorum Progressio and reflect on how its vision challenges us in our own time?
