The new encyclical "Fratelli Tutti" is basically an ode to Fraternity, in the French revolutionary concept of the word

Liberté - Égalité - Fraternité : Hall of the Grand Lodge of France (GODF), Paris

The Spanish text of the newest papal encyclical, Fratelli Tutti, which will be released in a couple of hours, was leaked by Spanish website Infovaticana.

The main point of the text, a long text, 123-pages long, we can now reveal, is its inspiration by the Abu Dhabi document (the "Statement on Human Fraternity"), which itself established an institution of flabbergasting name: The Higher Committee for Human Fraternity.

It's all based on the notion of "Fraternity" inspired by the French Revolution. Whether this is good or bad, we'll let you decide for yourself.

(Note: as soon as the Vatican embargo on the English text is lifted, we will add it below.)

Pope signs new Encyclical "Fratelli tutti" on St Francis's tomb in Assisi

St Francis proselytized the murderous muslims; Bergoglio desecrates the saint's tomb.

A real fraternity

Sounds like the Latin version of an old Little Richard song.

Welcome to 12 Vendémiaire CCXXIX of the Revolutionary calendar.

Thank you! (I was simply going to ask, "Will we be adopting the French Revolutionary calendar and decimal time as the next step?" ;^)

Oh Rudy...

LOL!

How about The Committee of Public Safety and the guillotine.

The Gregorian Calendar is racist.

I thought about posting a separate thread, but on the whole I’m sure His Humbleness would like to keep a low profile, and I’d just as soon not be responsible for a thread dedicated to the Encyclical on FR.

From today's Pope's Angelus: After the Angelus the Holy Father continued:

Dear brothers and sisters!

Yesterday I was in Assisi to sign the new Encyclical Fratelli tutti on fraternity and social friendship. I offered it to God on the tomb of Saint Francis, who inspired me, 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. Today, to you in the square – and also those outside the square – I have the joy of giving the new Encyclical, in a special edition of the Osservatore Romano. And with this edition, the daily printed edition of the Osservatore Romano resumes. May Saint Francis accompany the Church’s path of fraternity, among believers of every religion, and among all peoples.

He says St Francis inspired him to write Tutti Frutti and Laudato Si, even though much of the latter was ghost written, if not a plagarism of Archbishop Manuel Victor Manuel Fernandez, who also penned the book: Heal Me with your Mouth; The Art of Kissing.

One hundred and twenty-three pages long and not one mention of “hell”, “sin” or “salvation”.

[Hieronymus]

I’ve been through the Apostolic Letter on St. Jerome 3 times. While much shorter, it does mention Jerome’s vision of being before the judgment seat and hearing “You are a Ciceronian, not a Christian.” It also mentions the importance of penance and asceticism.

Of course, the writer of the first several drafts may not have been Francis. The signature is the signature of Francis, and there are a few stories that have his smell, but the voice and the thought seem to me the voice of . . . Benedict.

If Francis is capable of spontaneously producing a meditation on Jerome that skillfully skips from da Vinci to Durer to Caravaggio there is a side to his character that I have missed. I would no more expect him to do this than to play a piano concerto. If it were anyone other than Benedict, I’d expect him to run a red pen through these paragraphs.

Different strokes for different folks.
