Fratelli tutti

"In 'Fratelli tutti', Francis brings together, as if in a burning glass, his ideas of a new world order that enables all people to live in dignity, in which all action is carried out from the perspective of the 'we' and not the 'I'. ... Only when every voice counts can we take the wind out of the sails of populists in politics and society and at the same time promote a true politics of the people, is how one could briefly summarize Francis' approach. For he does not think the changes he calls for only from above: 'We must not expect everything from those who govern us; that would be infantile. We have possibilities of co-responsibility that allow us to initiate and bring about new processes and changes' (FT 77)."

The introduction by Pope's expert Jürgen Erbacher explains the key points. A detailed topic key and several indexes provide indispensable help in indexing this groundbreaking teaching letter, which was inspired by Christian-Islamic dialogue.
