Love this article. Great summary of Jesus's teachings on the works of mercy, the New Testament's teaching on the poor, the Catholic Social tradition's teaching on the Preferential Option for the Poor, and Pope Francis's emphasis on the poor throughout his Papacy. 

This Pope is certainly through increments changing the direction of the Church's focus and you see Francis's emphasis on social justice trickling down in bits throughout the global Catholic Church. Cardinal Sean O'Malley is one great example of this.
