«Fratelli tutti» is the expression of Saint Francis that Pope Bergoglio uses to open his third encyclical letter and which therefore gives the title to the entire text on fraternity.
Let's remember the first two were «Lumen fidei» in 2013 and «Laudato si'» in 2015.
Document of eight chapters, divided into 287 points. A document evidently inspired by the figure of Saint Francis, and by the meetings he had with exponents of other religions, as well as by the letters that reached him from all over the world. This is why Pope Francis decided to address not only the Church but "all people of good will". In the background, Bergoglio reveals, there is also what the entire planet has experienced and is experiencing with Covid-19, an obstacle to true brotherhood, but which has made us remember how «no one saves themselves, that we can save only together."
Pope Francis recalls in his analysis of current affairs that there are many social, cultural phenomena and economic interests that risk pitting us "all against all". And in this tension the weakest are left on the sidelines. Technological and information means also risk creating divisions if they do not help to build an "us" but take individualism to the extreme.
In the proactive part, the Pope chose the parable of the Good Samaritan to point the way and build an authentic brotherhood between individuals and peoples.
