Résumé : Pope Francis, Deer, September 2024. Literature lovers, this text is for you! The Pope returns to the need to associate with the great authors, whether classical or modern. Antidote to the current obsession with screens, literature is not just entertainment. It allows you to train your intelligence and discover other cultures, it forces you to decenter yourself. Because it contributes to forming a judgment, it is the best protection against extremism. Because it is a window open to others and the world, because it always betrays, deep down, a nostalgia for the divine, literature remains the essential open door to the universal.
