Résumé : Pope Francis, Éditions des Équateurs, September 2024. Read the Pope today? What a funny idea! However, the necessity arises. I say this carefully, not as a Catholic, not as a Christian, but as a believer of a single religion (perhaps more acceptable in this world): literature. […] If the pontifical document is addressed by vocation to the Catholic world, priests, religious and laity, its scope goes well beyond. Professors of literature, educators and educational leaders of all persuasions, including in non-denominational education, will find there something useful to meditate on. I gladly recommend reading it to all parents as well as to any Minister of National Education, to all those who use or write and even more so to all those who do not read and are unaware of what they are depriving themselves of. Find it in bookstores.
