A question that could be asked is about which social doctrine of the Catholic Church will be studied and diffused. Will the corporal and spiritual works of mercy be a focal point of the doctrine studied and diffused? Or will the focus be on a more recent "magisterium of the Holy Father", a "magisterium" that emphasizes the compelling moral absolutes of acceptance of abortion-tainted "vaccines", "impermissibility" of capital punishment, tyrannical climate activism, "blessings" rejected by Africa?
