As a former Catholic, I'm a bit confused as to why this is here. It's interesting as a primary historical document, but probably only for historians.

There's a lot of platitude around reduction of suffering, alongside some strange rhetoric about the benefits of colonialism. I also laugh every time the Catholic Church preaches anti-materialist values, given it's massive and ostentatious wealth.

There's some good stuff about the dangers of unbridled growth though.
