NOTES

Preface: Is the Pope a Marxist?

1. Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium, encyclical on the proclamation of the gospel, November 24, 2013, no. 53–54, http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20131124_evangelii-gaudium.html.

2. Translator’s Note: The word “pauperist” is used in a denigratory manner to refer to someone who supports and embraces—often exaggeratedly or conceitedly—material poverty.

3. Translator’s Note: After Francis’s election to the papacy, the word “pauperism” has been used in the sense of policies and principles promoting material poverty as opposed to a broader and more evangelical notion of poverty intended as freedom and detachment from goods and possessions.
