Doctrine Is "a Multidisciplinary Pursuit of Truth"
- "The Church’s social doctrine is in the service of building bridges of universal fraternity."
- "Let us help one another to build bridges through dialogue and encounter, joining together as one people."
- "Pope Francis spoke of a 'polycrisis' when describing the dramatic nature of our own age, which is marked by wars, climate change, growing inequalities, forced and contested migration, stigmatized poverty, disruptive technological innovations, job insecurity, and precarious labor rights."
- "The Church’s social doctrine […]does not claim to possess a monopoly on truth."
- "Perhaps when we hear the word 'doctrine,' we tend to think of a set of religious ideas."
- "Doctrine can be a synonym of science, discipline and knowledge. Understood in this way, doctrine appears as the product of research, and, consequently, of hypotheses, discussions, progress and setbacks - all aimed at conveying a reliable, organized and systematic body of knowledge about a given issue. Consequently, a doctrine is not the same as an opinion. But it is rather a common, collective and even multidisciplinary pursuit of truth."
- "Indoctrination is immoral. It stifles critical judgment and undermines the sacred freedom of respect for conscience, even if erroneous. It resists new notions and rejects movement, change or the evolution of ideas in the face of new problems."
- "There is so little dialogue around us. Shouting often replaces it, not infrequently in the form of fake news and irrational arguments proposed by a few loud voices."
