“Pope Francis’ first encyclical, ‘Light of Faith’ (Lumen fidei), is certainly the easiest-to-read papal writing in recent years. . . . Such clarity is appropriate for an encyclical which is primarily interested in emphasizing how faith illuminates. Please allow this to sink in: faith sheds light; it assists us in seeing; it helps us see truth and especially the most important truths. Many of these truths, too, are important ‘common goods’ for life together in the family and in the society.”
In a recent commentary, Dr. Michael Pakaluk, Chairman and Professor of Philosophy at Ave Maria University, reflected on Light of Faith (Lumen fidei), the encyclical recently issued by Pope Francis.
