"For more than 130 years, popes have considered work, the treatment of
workers and the creation of jobs to be a religious and moral issue.
"And
while Pope Francis has not written an encyclical dedicated to labor
like Pope Leo XIII did in 1891 and St. John Paul II did in 1981, he has
ensured that workers and their jobs stay at the center of the church's
concern."
An article recently published in The Pilot reported on this teaching moment in one of Pope Francis' weekly audiences in which he explained why work is a religious topic and why the church's concern extends beyond charity for those without work.
