Oct 20, 2020: Pope Francis' vision for post-Covid-19 world

On October 4 Pope Francis published his third encyclical, "Fratelli Tuti" ("all brothers"), with the subtitle "on fraternity and social friendship".

The document says that the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the failure of the world to work together during a crisis. It calls for more fraternity and solidarity, and is a plea to reject wars.

Especially moving in the document is the Pope's reflection on the story of the Good Samarian as an example of love which transcends prejudices, historical and cultural barriers, and petty interests.
