Fratelli Tutti: On Fraternity and Social Friendship

Fratelli Tutti “all brothers and sisters” is the encouraging and life-giving encyclical of Pope Francis.

Against the backdrop of a catastrophic pandemic that has spared nothing and altered everything, this remarkable document is a cry from the heart of a pastor to all peoples to see beyond their differences and to grow together to build a new and peaceful world.

Pope Francis addresses his renewed call to universal fraternity to all people of good will, regardless of their religious convictions.

His message here is full of divine and human wisdom for every person. The encyclical articulates in eight chapters a call for everyone to recognize and live out our common fraternity.
