Pope Francis travelled outside Rome on Saturday for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic broke out to sign his latest encyclical in the crypt where St. Francis of Assisi is buried.
The encyclical, titled “Fratelli Tutti” , will be released on Sunday. It covers solidarity among people in the post-pandemic world.
In Italian, fratelli means brothers but it is also used to mean brothers and sisters, as is the masculine plural in other romance languages. The pope always uses “brothers and sisters” to open his weekly general audiences on Wednesdays and his Sunday blessing.Because it deals with social issues, “Fratelli Tutti” is what is known as a social encyclical, as opposed to those about Church doctrine.
