“Fratelli Tutti” - A Call to Gospel ValuesPope Francis released a new encyclical in Assisi on October 3, the Feast of St. Francis. The title, “Fratelli Tutti,” can be translated as “Brothers and Sisters, All.” It amplifies the theme of friendship and solidarity, calling for peace and harmony among all peoples, religions, and nations. An article in the National Catholic Reporter notes: “Laying out a comprehensive vision for how the world should change after the coronavirus pandemic, Pope Francis imagines societies that are more caring, more focused on helping those in need and fundamentally less attached to the principles of market capitalism.”
