This study reflects on the social teaching of Pope Francis, which is based on four principles set forth in his apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium: time is greater than space; unity prevails over conflict; realities are more important than ideas; the whole is greater than the part. Pope Francis is convinced that the application of these principles can be a genuine path to peace in social coexistence within each nation and in the entire world. Pope Francis also urges to “slow down” and “train contemporary man to use power well”. These calls reflect the reality of today’s fast-paced and performance-driven era. Pope Francis grounds his social principles in a dialogical dimension of human nature that he derives from the Trinitarian theology. Today, in the age full of conflicts, it seems of utmost importance to apply this type of theology to ordinary spirituality. This enables us to grasp the very essence of our problems and present the reality in a Trinitarian key. In explaining Francis’ principles, the study draws on several phenomenological reflections of various authors.

The exhortation of Pope Francis Evangelii Gaudium brought many ideas and reflections of the contemporary Church, but also the Western world, which has become characterised by a way of economic thinking and acting that increasingly clashes with borders of social ethics. Francis´ controversial dictum “this economy kills” (EG 53) questions the discourse of contemporary standards in the economic space. But the criticism of the current capitalist economy by Francis is not solitary in the tradition of the social doctrine of the Church, but builds on the previous encyclicals, which also critically assess style of market economy, that does not respect the dignity of the human person. They do not condemn the market economy in itself, but draw attention to the necessary ethical dimension of economics, namely, to serve man and not vice versa.
