Fratelli Tutti at Five: An Encyclical for a Divided World
6th October: 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm BST
Released in October 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the encyclical Fratelli Tutti (“Brothers and Sisters All”) marked an important juncture in the development of Catholic social thought. Pope Francis’ call for human fraternity, social friendship, and a culture of encounter built on the teaching of his predecessors, adapting the tradition to the challenges of a divided world. In this online talk, Thomas Banchoff, director of the Georgetown University Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, will discuss the message of Fratelli Tutti and its significance for our current global moment. Professor Michael Scott will chair.
This event is sponsored by the Future of the Humanities Project and Blackfriars Hall, Oxford. It is part of the series, Cultural Encounters: Books that Have Made a Difference.
Online. Free and open to all. Registration is required.
