Development and Poverty, The View of Leo XIV

Fr. Cristian Mendoza
Associate Professor
Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome

Dilexi te is Latin for "I have loved you," serving as the title of a 2025 Apostolic Exhortation by Pope Leo XIV focused on the Church's commitment to the poor. Taken from Revelation 3:9, it signifies God’s love for humanity and calls for compassion, service, and a radical choice in favor of the marginalized.
