POPE PAUL VI has appealed for "concrete action" to foster man's development and the development of all mankind to combat the growing imbalance between richer and poorer nations. In an 18,000-word encyclical made public on March 28, the Pope has taken the Catholic Church's social thought a nother step forward. The encyclical letter, "Populorum Progressio" (Development of Peoples), in its very title captures It the Pope's central concern, since it deals precisely with the development of peoples and countries.
