The author explores how the pontiff challenges both conservatives and liberals, reminding the former of the urgency of social justice and the latter that the Church is not a mere social institution, but the bride of Christ. An essential work for understanding the key tenets of contemporary Christian social thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book unravels Pope Francis's message, showing how his critique of money as a modern idol challenges different positions both within and outside the Church. Schlag Schreier analyzes how the pontiff confronts conservatives with the problems of inequality and poverty, urging them toward concrete social action. At the same time, the author explains how Francis reminds liberals that social justice, while necessary, is not enough, and that the Church is first and foremost the bride of Christ, a spiritual reality and not an NGO. The work offers a balanced synthesis between social commitment and ecclesial identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of the idolatry of money and dehumanizing capitalism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSocial justice as an evangelical requirement, not an ideology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe identity of the Church as the bride of Christ, as opposed to its reduction to a social institution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe dialogue between faith and contemporary economic reality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure of Pope Francis as a bridge between opposing positions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for readers interested in Christian social thought, Church doctrine, and the magisterium of Pope Francis.
