Overview

• The Vatican published Dilexi te on Oct. 9, a nearly 40‑page appeal to confront structures that exclude the poor.
• León XIV condemns neoliberal market dogmas and the "dictatorship of an economy that kills," urging policies that address root causes of poverty.
• The text urges Catholics to welcome, protect, promote and integrate migrants, presenting bridge‑building as a test of Gospel credibility.
• The exhortation highlights abused and poor women as "doubly poor" and calls for legal and institutional protections for basic needs, citing Benedict XVI and social doctrine with a nod to Keynes.
• Signed Oct. 4, the document draws explicit continuity with Francis’s teaching, as Vatican media stress, and the pope paired its release with outreach to U.S. church and labor leaders on migration.
