By Father Robert A. Brungs, SJ
At the invitation of the editors of the Antonianum in 1995, Father Brungs wrote this article on the 30th anniversary of the promulgation of the encyclical. The ITEST editorial board decided to reprint this article because it still has much to say about the issues confronting the Church and culture. Because the article is a lengthy one, we published it in two parts: Part One (Volume 39, No. 3); Part Two (Volume 39, No. 4).
