我觉得隔三差五重读一下《新事》（Rerum Novarum[1]，1891年）和《百年》（Centesimus Annus[2]，1991年）挺有益处的：[1] http://w2.vatican.va/content/leo-xiii/en/encyclicals/documen... [2] http://w2.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/encyclicals/doc...

“极少数人坐拥巨额财富，而广大群众却陷入赤贫”。教宗利奥十三世在《新事》（Rerum Novarum）中的真知灼见，在今天看来和1891年时一样切中要害：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rerum_novarum

首先是形而上学。《新事》（Rerum Novarum）读起来引人入胜。不过这两者并不是非此即彼的选项：比如多萝西·戴（Dorothy Day）在两个阵营里都能泰然处之（只要她能在某个阵营里待得住的话）。

……联合国关于AI的辩论中的自主武器”）。如果想读一些更有分量、更超越时代，既能探讨当下议题又值得反复常读的文章，教宗通谕（Papal Encyclicals[2]）是个不错的选择。《新事》（Rerum Novarum）就是一个很好的切入点。我对平信徒（也就是非神父或修女）写的那些劝导性文章持怀疑态度。这就像律师的意见和法官的裁决之间的区别一样。他们可以……

这些刻意呼应之处显而易见：- 教宗利奥十三世撰写了《新事》（Rerum Novarum）；现任教宗利奥十四世选择这个名号，显然是在向这位同名先驱致敬。- 这篇通谕回归了早期使用拉丁文为通谕命名的传统（Magnifica Humanitas），……
