Political Charity and Politician’s Spirituality Adult Catechesis on Fratelli Tutti of Pope Francis Albert E. Alejo, SJ A better kind of politics Just a week after Fratelli Tutti was published on October 3, 2020, Cardinal Charles Maung Bo of Yangon, president of the Federation of Asian Bishops Conference, wrote a letter urging all FABC bishops to read the new encyclical where “our Asian realities are echoed in [its] urgent message.” By “Asian realities” he meant the challenging cultural and political situations that Christians encounter in this part of the world. He said:

We come again together to celebrate the beauty and mystery of our priesthood. Our priesthood is a grace beyond measure; a grace that surpasses worthiness; a grace that can only be understood in heaven. Nothing and nobody on earth can explain in adequate terms what the priesthood is. It is a gift in mystery.

To the People of God in the Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan and all my countrymen: If I say to the wicked, You shall surely die—and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade the wicked from their evil conduct in order to save their lives—then they shall die for their sin, but I will hold you responsible for their blood. (Ez 3, 18)
