Nothing new here--we see this in the Catechism and JPII's addresses as well...
“I think the Holy Father is responding to what he sees as insufficient lay participation or involvement, a weak or strong sense of identity, or just a lack of participation in regions that are very Catholic but where the presence of Catholics in public life is not strong enough,” Ms. Betancourt said.
I can see how this exhortation is applicable to Catholics living in "regions that are very Catholic" -- but what of regions that are not? I'm curious to see if any document endorses universal sufferage (as opposed to accepting it as reality).
