| Summary: | One of Pope Francis' lesser-known pontifical interventions was released in Rome, at the Basilica of Saint John Lateran, on 30 September 2020. Entitled "Scripturae Sacrae Affectus" ("Devotion to Sacred Scripture"), this brief apostolic letter (seventeen pages, including notes) was written to commemorate the sixteen hundredth anniversary of the death of Saint Jerome (30 September 420). Toward the end of the letter Francis turns from the figure of Jerome to address the current lack of involvement with the biblical Word of God. In a worrying assessment of the contemporary situation of bible interpretation in the Catholic community, he laments that "[o]ne of the problems we face today, not only in religion, is illiteracy: the hermeneutic skills that make us credible interpreters and translators of our own cultural tradition are in short supply". |
