Pope Francis’ new social encyclical Fratelli Tutti, promotes a vision of social friendship grounded in the unity of the entire human family: all people are sisters and brothers to one another, all are children of God with equal dignity and rights. Dr Sandie Cornish provides a general introduction to Fratelli Tutti, noting its context, key concerns, methodology and contribution to the body of Catholic Social Teaching. We also provide a link to the full text and some resources.
We’ve updated our Catholic Social Teaching Documents page to include Fratelli Tutti and have added an interactive timeline, which we will continue to develop.
