Wrapping up chapter 4 of Fratelli Tutti, Pope Francis makes the point that we need to hold the twin goals of dealing with global problems and taking care of our own in tension with one another. It is not either/or. It's both/and. Grounded in our own culture and way of life, we can still interact and learn from those outside our communities and countries. I explore how this might affect how we live our own individual lives and what light this might shed on the divisions in America and in the Catholic Church today.   Read Fratelli Tutti for yourself at this link.
