Why people recommend it
Rerum Novarum is a foundational papal encyclical issued by Pope Leo XIII in 1891 that addresses the condition of the working classes and outlines Catholic social teaching regarding capital, labor, and the church. Terry Schilling spoke about the document on Timcast IRL, noting that Pope Leo XIII produced the encyclical as a papal instruction to guide the church and pointed out that it was the very first document of its kind to directly confront the errors of communism while simultaneously addressing various shortcomings and shortfalls inherent in capitalism. Later, Dan Williams discussed the same papal text on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, referencing Pope Leo XIII and Rerum Novarum directly while exploring broader philosophical concepts such as natural law and the historical origins of human rights. Both speakers highlighted the enduring relevance of this historical encyclical when debating economic systems, political philosophy, and human dignity across modern podcast platforms.
