He was the second-longest serving Pope in history and the first non-Italian since 1523.<br> We live at a very special time. The confluence of many things has brought forth the clear need to be able to articulate the Social Teaching of the Catholic Church in a way that is accessible and applicable. This is not to be an effort where high-minded theories are to be bandied about. Rather, this is a time of opportunity wherein we can apply the Social Doctrine to the concrete so as to bring about a New Kingdom, a Revolution. – <a href="http://www.regnumnovum.com/socialdoctrine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Omar G.</a><br> <br> Visit Omar’s “Discerning Hearts” page <a href="http://www.discerninghearts.com/catholic-podcasts/omar-f-a-gutierrez-m-a-catholic-social-teaching/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Catholic Social Teaching 101</a><br> <a href="http://amzn.to/2yziJfn" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a><br> <br>
