Comparing an encyclical to other kinds of official Roman Catholic documents is a good way to understand the significance of an encyclical.

From the beginning of Our Pontificate, following the example of Our Venerable Predecessor, We endeavoured with all Our might to ward off the application of those constitutional statutes which the Holy See had several times been obliged to condemn as seriously derogatory to the most elementary and inalienable rights of the Church and of the faithful.

  • From Pope Leo XIII to Pope Francis Abstract: the Church
    Avelino Chico, SJ Modern migration trends and the Church’s responses: from Pope Leo XIII to Pope Francis Abstract: The Church’s concern with human mobility dates from long ago. Nevertheless, her response has been changing throughout. In the 18th and 19th century, her main interest was allowing migrants the opportunity of listening to the Gospel. For that, national churches were created at the host countries and Catholics were at the core of this pastoral initiative. But from 20th century, the Church’s attention was broadened. The beneficiaries were the whole people of God. Migrants come from every corner of the world and this was seen as an opportunity to foster ecumenical and interreligious dialogue. The complexity of this displacement has shown that economic crisis was no longer the main push factor. People tend to migrate where their spiritual, physical and cultural need can be met. This brings on board the argument that migration is not a spontaneous phenomenon; rather than, it has an internal logic and structure. This article will be looking at the Church’s responses to migration and the way in which migration flows has been characterized. Introduction “Like many birds, but unlike most other animals, humans are a migratory species. Indeed, migration is as old as humanity itself”.1 The Church has never questioned her role as the ‘teacher of humanity’; neither has it retreated in her mission of protecting immigrants. Besides immigrants, the Church has been taking care of emigrants, refugees and internally displaced people.2 The subjects of 1 Douglas S. Massey et al, Worlds in Motion: Understanding International Migration at the End of the Millennium (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 2008), 1.

The backdrop of the event was the Mexican Revolution, the most violent episode of the country’s history as an independent nation with a human toll that has been estimated as high as two million.1 Within a few months, the Constituyente produced a remarkable document. The Constitution of 1917 held great significance as the first document of its kind in the entire world that guaranteed social as well as political rights. Up to that point, national constitutions had set up frameworks for governance as their primary purpose, with a secondary purpose of safeguarding liberal political rights first ensconced in the late eighteenth century in the U.S. “Virginia Bill of Rights” and the French “Déclaration des droits de l’homme,” which, in turn, rested on earlier documents such as the British Magna Carta of 1215. The constitution established the right to strike and set maximum work hours per week and day (Article 123). It also asserted the right of the nation to exert its sovereignty over land and the subsoil, including the right to expropriate and redistribute private property for communal or collective purposes (Article 27); as well as the right to a publicly funded primary education (Article 3).
