This has led to Francis being hailed as a hero to many on the left, while it has made some conservative supporters of St. John Paul II and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI disappointed and uncomfortable, even as they love and appreciate his person and gestures of mercy and compassion. Some find his teachings difficult to embrace, especially those concerning business and the economy. Pope Francis has spoken of building bridges as part of what it is to be Christian, but aspects of his message seem to be just constructing walls between the Holy Father and groups of the faithful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Business Francis Means\u003c\/i\u003e aims to break through these walls, showing that Pope Francis has something to say to all Christians. His message, taken as a whole, keeps us from dividing the \"seamless garment\" of Christ: he reminds the conservatives of the problems of inequality and poverty, and the liberals that social justice is not enough - the Church is the bride of Christ, not a social institution or an NGO.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMonsignor Martin Schlag summarizes and explains the message of Pope Francis on business and the economy in this compact volume. \u003ci\u003eThe Business Francis Means\u003c\/i\u003e will be of great interest to the Catholic layperson, especially one involved in political or economic life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin Schlag is professor of Moral Theology at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, Rome, editor of \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Catholic Social Thought\u003c\/i\u003e and co-editor of \u003ci\u003eFree Markets with Solidarity and Sustainability\u003c\/i\u003e (both CUA Press)\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 29, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42596886642784,"sku":"9780813229737","price":58.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/TStqNkwvcy9BUzlDbXdwVWFsN3BBZz09.webp?v=1771685733","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-business-francis-means-understanding-the-popes-message-on-the-economy-understanding-the-popes-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
