Pope Francis in his latest encyclical has stressed the social dimension of God’s love, saying the ancient devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus must translate into care of others while serving as a remedy to “outdated” Church structures and various forms of “fanaticism” around the world.
“In a world where everything is bought and sold, people’s sense of their worth appears increasingly to depend on what they can accumulate with the power of money,” the Pope said in “Dilexit Nos – Encyclical Letter on the Human and Divine Love of the Heart of Jesus Christ” published 24 October.
