‘I hope it reaches a wider audience.’

Catholic tastes: Graham Dragon’s Thought for the Week

‘I hope it reaches a wider audience.’

by Graham Dragon 24th October 2025

Robert Prevost, the new pope, has just published an ‘Apostolic Exhortation’, Dilexi Te. To me, it expresses thoroughly the fundamental stance of Quakers on social responsibility.  He pulls no punches, and makes clear that it is our duty to work for social justice, and that all of us have a responsibility to help those rejected by the society around us.
