Pope Francis, generally speaking, has thus far chosen to
concentrate his papacy on social justice issues, as opposed to
doctrinal or liturgical issues. This has led to Francis being
hailed as a hero to many on the left, while it has made some
conservative supporters of St. John Paul II and Pope Emeritus
Benedict XVI disappointed and uncomfortable, even as they love and
appreciate his person and gestures of mercy and compassion. Some
find his teachings difficult to embrace, especially those
concerning business and the economy. Pope Francis has spoken of
building bridges as part of what it is to be Christian, but aspects
of his message seem to be just constructing walls between the Holy
Father and groups of the faithful. The Business Francis Means aims
to break through these walls, showing that Pope Francis has
something to say to all Christians. His message, taken as a whole,
keeps us from dividing the "seamless garment" of Christ: he reminds
the conservatives of the problems of inequality and poverty, and
the liberals that social justice is not enough - the Church is the
bride of Christ, not a social institution or an NGO. Monsignor
Martin Schlag summarizes and explains the message of Pope Francis
on business and the economy in this compact volume. The Business
Francis Means will be of great interest to the Catholic layperson,
especially one involved in political or economic life.
