Summary/Abstract: This paper, on Critical Theory of Migration in the Encyclical Letter Fratelli tutti, is divided into two sections that are interdependent and related: the methodological theoretical and the praxeological. The advanced perspective that Pope Bergoglio has developed seeks to minimize the boundaries between theory and practice by emphasizing the intersections of these two cognitive phenomena. The first section of the paper sets out to offer contributions to the methodological framework of the encyclical, emphasizing an active approach to the work itself, the importance of secular discourse and existential judgment, and a critical approach to the phenomenon of migration. The second section looks at various phenomena related to migration, questioning established concepts such as citizenship and affirming the need for global governance of these phenomena. Praxeologically formulated, the second section emphasizes community values, such as recognition and solidarity, which, by affirming the values of a particular person, simultaneously disavow inhumane domestic and international strategies, which often manifest themselves in response to migratory phenomena.
