In March 2021, Pope Francis urged “Christian communities…and cultural associations to promote initiatives making known the message of Dante’s great medieval poem, The Divine Comedy, “in all its fullness.”

Dante is to Catholic literature what Michelangelo is to Catholic art and architecture, and what Augustine and Aquinas are to Catholic theology: the best of our tradition and cultural patrimony. Dante, says Pope Francis, “wants to show us the route to happiness, the right path to live a fully human life, emerging from the dark forest in which we lose our bearings and the sense of our true worth.”
