Today (3 October 2021) is the first birthday of Pope Francis’ second social encyclical Fratelli Tutti– on fraternity and social friendship. At The Revolution of Tenderness we are celebrating by partnering with the Australian Catholic University to produce a podcast series exploring the encyclical.
Dr Sandie Cornish, from the Office for Justice, Ecology and Peace of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference is joined by Dr Emmanuel Nathan of ACU as co-host for the series. They will be speaking with a range of guests.
Racism, hostile responses to migration, the exclusion of people with disabilities, popularism, and the need for what Francis calls “a better kind of politics” (n 154) are key themes along with the need for more effective international institutions, a culture of dialogue and encounter, peacebuilding and reconciliation, war and the death penalty.
Please join us at The Revolution of Tenderness over the coming months as we explore Fratelli Tutti.
