Four years ago, in his encyclical “Fratelli Tutti,” Pope Francis called for “a better kind of politics.” Yet we have seemingly become only more polarized in the United States, in the Catholic Church both nationally and globally, and across the world.
We need a vision of something better to work for, not just a description of what to work against. The mystery of communion - our being bound together into the larger life of the church - gives us a starting place to frame that vision. Sam Sawyer, S.J. offers this lecture as an invitation to join this discussion.
