Greetings Parish Orphins of RetroGrates.

Today, I have promised a deep dive episode into Rirum Navarum.

I say the greatest social encyclical in the history of the church.

It's also noted as the first social encyclical in the history of the church, it's also noted as the first social

encyclical in the history of the church. It encapsulates pretty much all of Catholic social teaching

together with quadragasimo animo, which is a pious the 11th encyclical circulated 40 years after Riram Navarum is from, of course,

the greatest uncannonized pope in the history of the church. Leo the 13th, published in 1891.

I'm going to give you some important background facts. You'll never hear

anywhere else about its penning. And it would be doctrine developed the real way, the actual

conceptual organic development that is characteristic of true Catholic teaching, let alone social teaching,

in 1931 under Pius XI.11 in this document called Quadrigasi Moano. And if you think that,

you know, I'm stretching, or you've heard your Catholic teacher stretch to say quadrigaiseum

Moano is the part two of Rerum Navarum.

It's not, it literally means 40 years after Rerum Navarum.

It's called the 40th year.

And JP2 would do one 100 years later in 1991 called Chintesi Muzanus is not as good or as important as the one or two really

important developments of Riram Navarum in Quadragasimo. I repeat here in the early

pontificate of Leo the 14th, where we're all waiting with bated breath to see what's going

to happen in a sort of COVID-like environment where people are

censoring each other and others from saying common sense things. We're waiting to see what

Leo the 14th does. But he says he took his name because of Leo the 13th and because of specifically

Rarum Navarum.
