León XIV firma la exhortación apostólica "Dilexi te" sobre el amor hacia los pobres

Overview

  • The Holy See said Saturday that León XIV signed the apostolic exhortation in the Apostolic Palace library with Monsignor Edgar Peña Parra present.
  • Vatican News announced a public presentation for Thursday, October 9, in the Vatican Press Room led by Cardinals Michael Czerny and Konrad Krajewski.
  • Choosing an apostolic exhortation for his first major text emphasizes pastoral guidance rather than doctrinal teaching typical of an encyclical.
  • The title Dilexi te echoes Francis’s final encyclical Dilexit nos, and reporting indicates the new text may build on work begun under Francis.
  • León XIV, the first U.S.-born and missionary Augustinian pope with long service among the poor in Peru, has repeatedly urged the Church to find and listen to the poor and has linked poverty to war and climate impacts.
