Then, you can't really understand. he speaks of evils in such a general sense that you can't really tell what is he talking about. He wants you to define what he says they way you feel like it

Couldn't be further from the truth! When asked who Jorge Bergoglio was, do you know what he said? "A sinner." Francis is well aware of our sinfulness. What he is doing here is what every pope for the last 120 years has done: call us to seek the ideal.

The ideal as a concept or as a Person.

How do we relate all this "brotherhood" with salvation from the Lord?

@@stephenkamau4700 there is no salvation without brotherhood, or in other words : solidarity and caritas as lived expression of your faith! If you think that this is communism, well that's certainly one reason why Jesus was captured and executed. Then you can call Jesus the first communist. Have you ever been to Europe? Then you might know, how political communism really was. We in Europe care for our citizens. We live solidarity here and the Catholic church has had a big influence on social laws. Our Pope is well aware of this.

Who's Fr. Cole?

@@x1achilles99 fr Casey Cole

There should be no disdain up until it's a basis of division. Remember, there will be neither Jew nor Greek in heaven. The Catholic Church tolerates and loves many rites of many particular churches, so an accusation of being the enemy of unique cultures is off. Gal 3: 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Truly. Which is why I advocate, out of no disrespect for St. Francis, to have Fratres Omnes as an alternative title!

That indeed sounds tasty 😋 And to read it is indeed a treat.

That does make one think it as such if we only take the values of liberty, equality and fraternity as exclusively Masonic. Indeed the words may echo the cries of the French Revolution (which also gave us a huge share of Catholic martyrs); nevertheless, it remains valid that whatever is good comes from God.

Mostly implied. Church Fathers? There are mentions of St. Irenaeus, St. Basil, St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas. The Gospel? One chapter speaks of the Good Samaritan. Sin? Social sins such as discord and violence. The Devil? He is at work in discord. Salvation? It involves the salvation of the entire human person, and so the work of dialogue and fraternity is a work of mercy, a work of bringing the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

Surely implied, brother, but implication does not mean absence. They're there, and if we can dig it up, why can't we? As to Mr. Marshall's video, I haven't yet, but I will look it up at a later time due to my studies-and I mean it when I say that I will look it up later. As to responding to you, you're welcome.

Yes...it mentions the united nationes

Paragraphs 173 and 257 mention the United Nations: 173: In this regard, I would also note the need for a reform of “the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institutions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth”.[151] Needless to say, this calls for clear legal limits to avoid power being co-opted only by a few countries and to prevent cultural impositions or a restriction of the basic freedoms of weaker nations on the basis of ideological differences. For “the international community is a juridical community founded on the sovereignty of each member state, without bonds of subordination that deny or limit its independence”.[152] At the same time, “the work of the United Nations, according to the principles set forth in the Preamble and the first Articles of its founding Charter, can be seen as the development and promotion of the rule of law, based on the realization that justice is an essential condition for achieving the ideal of universal fraternity… There is a need to ensure the uncontested rule of law and tireless recourse to negotiation, mediation and arbitration, as proposed by the Charter of the United Nations, which constitutes truly a fundamental juridical norm”.[153] There is need to prevent this Organization from being delegitimized, since its problems and shortcomings are capable of being jointly addressed and resolved. 257: Since conditions that favour the outbreak of wars are once again increasing, I can only reiterate that “war is the negation of all rights and a dramatic assault on the environment. If we want true integral human development for all, we must work tirelessly to avoid war between nations and peoples. To this end, there is a need to ensure the uncontested rule of law and tireless recourse to negotiation, mediation and arbitration, as proposed by the Charter of the United Nations, which constitutes truly a fundamental juridical norm”.[238] The seventy-five years since the establishment of the United Nations and the experience of the first twenty years of this millennium have shown that the full application of international norms proves truly effective, and that failure to comply with them is detrimental. The Charter of the United Nations, when observed and applied with transparency and sincerity, is an obligatory reference point of justice and a channel of peace. Here there can be no room for disguising false intentions or placing the partisan interests of one country or group above the global common good. If rules are considered simply as means to be used whenever it proves advantageous, and to be ignored when it is not, uncontrollable forces are unleashed that cause grave harm to societies, to the poor and vulnerable, to fraternal relations, to the environment and to cultural treasures, with irretrievable losses for the global community.

@@Canisius19 and used the mccarrick to broker the deal.

@@maribelandrade770 I watched the video and it only left me hungry for more information. CNA wrote a few articles about this deal being renewed recently and included a lot of details I wasn't aware of. I don't know where you are from but as an American I can't imagine the Church having such a role in society as the Church in China has or wants to have. One of the Bishops Francis lifted excommunication on is also a legislator who voted to remove term limits for Xi. I can't imagine a Bishop in the U.S.A. being allowed to also be a Republican member of Congress who votes to remove term limits for Trump and somehow that flies under the radar. Not to mention a Bishop being imprisoned and then going missing and nobody mentions it because they know the GOP was involved. Meanwhile Xi holds power over a government that is actually racist, actually putting people in concentration camps, actually disappearing people, has some of the harshest and cruelest laws, and Francis writes an encyclical that is mostly meant to turn the world's attention to Trump's weaknesses which he thinks are undermining capitalism (which he does not support.) Sorry, but I just don't know how else to interpret this Pope's legacy except to say that he is clearly bad at being Pope. We should pray for him.

Any response to this question from "Breaking in the Habit"? Or is this legitimate concern simply going to be ignored?

A legalistic idea of baptism dismisses the greatness of God. We can baptize in love, in spirit, and invite those in, knowing their souls ultimate trajectory, like ours, is between them and our Father.

@@karnsingh3768 "We can baptize in love, in spirit, and invite those in..." So the form and matter of Sacraments created by Jesus is superfluous, eh? The original question of Gabrielle is still a relevant issue.

@Simon Laberge sinful comment - you owe obedience to ALL of Francis' teaching under Lumen Gentium 25

@Simon Laberge you are certainly sinful in rejecting Fratelli Tutti, since in doing so you reject the teaching of an ecumenical council -- is that news to you really?

@Simon Laberge Catholic, but of course.

@Simon Laberge yes to Fratelli Tutti - no options for Catholics with understanding on this; more details will come from Francis if he wants to say more on civil unions. I would say this - civil unions would need to be differentiated from homosexual unions (which the CDF has already quashed). We could say that two gay men living together as faithful Catholics (only philia and agape love - not eros) would be without sin. Some wacko rightists argue that would be an occasion for sin -- but that is not true, as any occasion where two gay men are alone is not simply an occasion for sin -- it's an insult to their professed chastity as Catholics.

@Simon Laberge it's a fair question, Simon -- my understanding, though I need more info, is that there would be certain legal privileges (eg. when one person becomes ill and there needs to be decision making, visitation rights, etc.) -- it's the legal privileges that would be an expression of God's mercy in this sense, since in and of themselves the privileges don't condone sinful acts.

I think those criticizing it need to have a “come to Jesus” moment, because they’re clearly not focused on the right things. This document is incredible.

If you have read it, maybe try reading it again remembering the words in Micah 6:8 "He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"

Please read Dr Taylor Marshall’s analysis. Also The Remnant and John Henry Westen.

@Ricardo Villamil I'm noting the "technically" and "apparently" in your statement. Perhaps (presuming from the "apparently" that you have not done so already) you should read it and then make a decision as to whether it is "good teaching" or not. The bible tells us multiple times to discern the truth through the Holy Spirit and "test" teaching - it sounds so far to me like neither of you have actually read it first, prayed about it, checked it against the scriptures, and established teaching before criticising it? Not quite sure why you are also putting these comment on my reply to Fr. Casey when I made it clear I'm not a Catholic, so there is an irony that as a none Catholic I am having to tell you (who through at least one of your profiles I am assuming are Catholics) things about the pope's writings and asking you to discern them against the bible, Catholic / Christian teaching, and the Holy Spirit, and effectively defend a Catholic document to you when all I originally did was thank Fr. Casey for the recommendation and summary. So far, if Fr. Casey invited me to a service, or chat over tea I think if the timing was right I would happily accept his invitation. I am doubtful I would do the same with you both - not great evangelism on behalf of the church...

@@CB-ou6gc thank you for the recommendations, I may review discussions for and against the work once I have read the work itself.

@Ricardo Villamil there is an obvious difference between an encyclical approved by the church leadership and a smut film so your analogy is weak. We are taught by the scripture to beware of false teaching and to use discernment, but you are judging the popes work without reading it, and "putting your faith" in others.. How if you have not read the work with an prayerful and open heart can you judge whom is the false teacher? Again, I would suggest you read it. If God is in you and Pope Francis' words are unworthy, then they will cause you no harm and you can speak from a personal analysis and fair and unbiased judgment rather than another's words on your lips. If God is in you and Pope Francis's words are worthy then God will speak to you through them. I hope either way that God blesses you and fixes your eyes on Him alone.

May I suggest going to the Vatican News, CNA, NCR and other more direct news sites? He has condemned Marxism and militant liberation theology! The Pope from the Americas knows the violence it causes first hand, but he knows that poverty, greed of corporations, and lack of education are all factors which make people erroneusly turn to socialism. Also, Brian Holdsworth does a nice video on "Why I'm not a Capitalist". Cheers and God bless!

@@ipso-kk3ft Thank you I will check those out but I don't understand how anyone can say they're not a capitalist when it's the best thing to be in this imperfect world. Capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than anything else in human history

In those countries there is deep poverty, political corruption and many innocents killed by governments that protect corporate interests through violence and in turn these problems cause people to flee and immigrate. The pope is trying to propose solutions that safeguard people not just goods. If people were to ease up on the wild accusations we might be able to listen to each other and start finding common ground

Capitalism is a system which means that no one may steal another's property. There is nothing innately immoral about the system.

Yes. We shall live forever under the brightest sun of absolutism and monarchy, the sun that's so bright it actually burdens everyone living under it with pain and misery. In a certain way, some of early Christians can be called revolutionaries, especially the ones amongst the Franciscans. “The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all.” - G. K. Chesterton. And now remember the saying of Saint Augustine: “What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.”

You are right, and it's so bad, the the stonecutters have endorsed Fratelli Tutti. That should set the alarms ringing for real Catholics. We've all just been blinded and poisoned with modernism, instead of being fed with authentic Catholic church teaching.

​@@Domas04 Human nature is inherently hierarchical-- the opposite of equal-- no matter how much you try to spin it. The structure of the Church is reflective of this immutable reality. Popes are above bishops, bishops are above priests, and priests are above the laity. Does this mean that such a hierarchy is a value judgment; that just because one is higher in an earthly hierarchy, that he is innately favored by God or closer to Him? Absolutely not. We are all endowed with equal view of worth before God. There can be, and often are, laymen who are more virtuous than some bishops. However, blurring the lines between the explicit hierarchical nature of humanity in order to justify rhetoric adopted by the Cult of Reason is indefensible in light of Christian doctrine. We help the poor because they cannot help themselves, as in they cannot be eternally brought to the level of the rich. Jesus told His Apostles that there will always be poor people (Matthew 26:11; also invoking Deuteronomy)-- this was, is, and always will be true. Calling for smashing the "walls" of wealth inequality between classes is a fool's errand because it defies the aforementioned hierarchy of human nature. Marxism and Enlightenment-age liberal principles have all failed because of this.

@@undolf4097 There is 2000 years of what the Church has taught. St Thomas Aquinas has wrote the doctrine of the Just War. Pope JP2 has restricted the death penalty. Pope Francis has negated the use of the death penalty. But what is two Popes' teachings compared to 2000 years of Magisterial teaching ? They have no right nor authority to restrict or negate past teachings especially when they are not even Doctors of the Church like St Thomas Aquinas. Their theology aren't as deep and powerful as a Doctor of the Church. The death penalty is allowed when it is exercised for the common good of society. Thou shall not kill is not a blanket ban on killing. If an enemy invade your country do you take up arms and kill the invader or in cases of self defense? The 10 commandments came from the OT. There are plenty of examples when the Israelites wage war on their enemies and when they are faithful to God, He helped them win battles. The enemies of the Jews are killed. Didn't David killed Goliath with God's blessings ? Also look at the battle of Jericho. So in summary look at what the Church has taught for 2000 years especially when it's coming from The Magisterium. If a Pope is not speaking Ex Cathedra, you don't have to listen to him.

@@angelicdoctor8016 Exact, and agreed. 'When' reform is available. But the video did not qualify it but rather said 'never'.

Your wrong in your logic. Your misreading may be caused by the devil. Who is this encyclical written for? Is it not meant for us Catholics? Is the message expressed in the video not in the Gospels? Is it not Christ's commands to love one another and to be perfect as the Father is perfect? We as true catholics don't need to be reminded that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ, or that whatever he writes comes from the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. You sound to me like protestants wanting to repeat the name of Jesus as if it was a mantra. Only Hindus need to say the name of the god they're praying to, for they have thousands. We as catholics know our ground, God is one and Triune, we know who He is as introduced by our lord. Everything coming from the holy Church, including Vatican II, is from God's, he hasn't appointed any other interpretating authority than his Church. Are we saintly people to correct what comes from the chair of Peter? Are you saintly? So if you're not a Saint, why would any true catholic listen to your misguided thought? Our hearts are burning and longing for our Triune God, He satiblished his Holy Church and whatever it comes from it should be taken as inspired by God himself. If there's something wrong, then we pray for wisdom and Most of all Charity to point out the possible mistakes, just as Christ instructed.

Is it an open letter to the world? I appreciate your question. I will meditate on it and hope to guess correctly as I and the faithful do with most of what comes from this Papacy.

@@mrmaggoo35 whatever the answer you get from meditating will be summ up in this undeniable truth, that letter is written for all of those whom God wants them to hear his word. Those who have ear listen.

What about Encyclicals like Rerum Novarum? Holy Spirit shows up 0 times, God the Father shows up 0 times too. Benedict's Deus Caritas Est mentions Holy Spirit a grand total of 2 times, but Eros (erotic love) 94 times. Simply hitting cntrl-F as criticism is a poor shot, as by the same logic, you'd be condemning "great" Encyclicals with similar word counts.

Hello, if I may contribute! In Catholic life and thinking, many (but not all) issues are resolved with a both-and (instead of an either-or) solution. I'd give two pieces to advice. First, try to avoid extreme and sensationalist channels of any leaning. Second, avoid tempting dichotomies or oversimplified solutions or dismissals to problems. Choosing a "side" right now is, in my opinion, very counterproductive, intellectually and spiritually. A lot of the rhetoric today seems to be "throwing out the baby with the bathwater", as the idiom goes. Most importantly, as Cardinal Arinze said, "Our faith is in Christ, not the Pope" (or any of the bishops). Lead a life of love and holiness, away from pride and outrage, and things will become clearer!

@@danaercrooks..singingevang916 you have no authority to even open a Bible, unless the pope grants it (which he has); nevertheless, you have no authority to interpret it in a way that counters authentic Catholic teaching approved by the pope

@@angelicdoctor8016 who is the pope to authorize God's word! God through the aid of the Holy Spirit grants me the power. The pope has no authority of me or anyone. he is the devils agent on earth!!leading people to help that's why Martin Luther had to take a stand. Listen I not arguing with you and if you don't repent you going hell with the pope. The blood of Jesus against you and the devil in human flesh that pope

@@angelicdoctor8016 Go study your bible and learn the truth and even if you don't want to study the bible history will tell you

It starts in the heart of an individual. It's this little mustard-seed that Jesus spoke about. Huge oaks grow from a tiny little acorn.

That's two words though.

But how did Jesus convert people? With love. You won't convert anyone unless you love them first.

,@@stevelyles9021 I think what he meant is our understanding of human life is a lot better and the death penalty is no longer adequate or necessary for modern times.

think of it this way - goodness is existence that ought to be present (by God's will) -- this it the Augustinian/Thomistic view. Now, today we have prisons globally with opportunity to reform -- this is a greater good, since killing a human (without God's explicit permission) is to cause a LACK OF A LIFE that ought to be present -- a grave evil. The death penalty was ONLY permitted to protect the community from serious threat -- this threat doesn't exist today, thanks to current prison systems.

Excuse me? By becoming Catholic first? that's not what the book says, "But to all who BELIEVED him and ACCEPTED him, he gave the right to become children of God." John 1:12....don't get it twisted my friend.

nonsense - your comment is without evidence -- notice that you can't quote a single error in the pope's teaching; we should be clear - under Lumen Gentium 25, we all owe "religious submission of mind and will" to the teaching of Pope Francis, including Fratelli Tutti -- God bless you and all!!
