Hosted by CivLov | Catholic Social Teaching · EN
Ten Minutes a Day is a daily podcast reading the social encyclicals of the Catholic Church.
Many people want to work their way through these important documents but struggle to find the time. This podcast offers a simple solution: ten minutes a day of uninterrupted audio recording straight from the texts themselves.
The project began with Dilexi Te but since Pope Leo XIV is trying to carry on the tradition of Pope Leo XIII, we go back and start at the beginning to the tradition starting with Rerum Novarum, the show moves through the Church’s social teaching one document at a time.
These encyclicals—from popes such as Pope Leo XIII, Pope Pius XI, Pope John XXIII, Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis—form the heart of what is known as Catholic social teaching, a tradition that seeks to guide society toward what many have called a civilization of love.
Just ten minutes a day.

Exciting News from 10 Minutes a Day
2w ago00:02:02Tap to summarizeSome exciting news! 10 Minutes a Day has been picked up by Scepter Publishers, a Catholic Publishing House and starting August 1st the podcast will begin to be distributed by them both in their spiritual reading app as well as continuing to be published on apple podcast, spotify, youtube and wherever you were listening already! It's an exciting and very relevant time for Catholic Social Teaching. Saint John Paul II taught that Catholic Social Teaching was an integral part of the new evangelization. And this has only accelerated under the pontificates of Pope Benedict XVI, Pope Francis and now Pope Leo with both Dilexi Te and Magnifica Humanitas. Scepter Publishers has decided to rebrand 10 Minutes a Day” as Social Doctrine Daily emphasizing that the Social Doctrine of the Church is just as much a part of the magisterium as everything else.
