Ong's Thought," I highlight certain statements that Pope Francis makes in his 2022 apostolic letter on the liturgical formation of the people of God, issued on June 29, 2022. In appropriate places, I point out how certain points he makes can be connected to the work of the American Jesuit cultural historian and media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955).enPope Francis, Walter J. Ong, Thomas J. FarrellScholarly Text or Essay
