10032020 Pope Francis signs Encyclical Fratelli Tutti
The Encyclical "Fratellli tutti" was signed by Pope Francis on 3 October 2020 in Assisi. The text would be made public the following day, 4 October.
It proposes fraternity and social friendship as the ways indicated to build a better, more just and peaceful world, with the commitment of all: people, institutions, the economic world, international organizations, civil society.
The Encyclical is in continuity with the previous Laudato si' of 2015, in which the Holy Father - after denouncing the evils that afflict the common house also because of man - proposes integral ecology as an instrument of love and respect for all (and among all) and for creation.
In "Fratelli tuttil" the Pope underlines that in the common house we all live as one family and proposes concrete actions to restore the world and overcome the ailments generated by the pandemic crisis, which has now become a health, economic, social and political crisis: peace, because no work will be possible if nations and peoples continue to fight each other; dialogue, because each one finds its completeness in the other; the strengthening of multilateralism and no to any kind of war; the fight against the globalisation of indifference and the promotion of social inclusion.
As Pope Francis said on Sunday, October 4, 2020, when he presented it to the world during the Angelus, the new Encyclical "Fratelli tutti, on fraternity and social friendship, " I offered it to God on the tomb of Saint Francis, who inspired me [to write] it, as in the previous Laudato si’. The signs of the times clearly show that human fraternity and care of creation form the sole way towards integral development and peace, already indicated by the Popes Saints John XXIII, Paul VI and John Paul II."
