%X Solidarity is a central aspect of the Catholic social tradition and yet it is difficult to capture in a simple definition. Building upon his predecessor¡¯s examination of solidarity, Pope Francis develops solidarity¡¯s christological character, a previously underdeveloped aspect of Catholic social teaching. Francis¡¯s use of place and proclamation in public ministry calls for an ethic of inclusion and encounter. Francis turns to the Incarnation as informing a theology of solidarity focused on both Jesus as model of solidarity and of lived solidarity as an encounter with Christ
