Politics. The Encyclic is radically politic. It is, I think, meant to establish the society on solid ground, the rock on which God builds His house .
Reading paragraph 27 and comparing it to the message for Lent, it really looks like unjust sufferings of people in the different regions of the world is a priority of the current papacy.
The history of my Country can be read as an attempt to create a relationship between Catholic values and everyday life.
Interestingly enough, I have been branded differently by different extremist people: right wing extremists tended to rank me among the communists, left wing extremists have always been disgusted in classifying me as Catholic starting immediately to assert exclusively their views on sexuality.
It seems a recurring classification in Britain as well.
Chapter V of the not-so-religiously-correct epistle to Diognetus gives an idea of how things were going for early Christians. Have they changed much?
