Pope Francis Publishes First Major Document Dilexi te, Criticizing Rich Elites
On 11 October 2025, Pope Francis, publicly known as León XIV, released his first major apostolic exhortation titled Dilexi te. The document launches a sharp critique of the wealthy elite’s bubble of excess, argues that faith cannot be separated from love for the poor, and declares a new vision for a Church that serves the most vulnerable and confronts the economic forces that jeopardise dignity.
