On October 3rd, Pope Francis released his third encyclical titled “Fratelli Tutti,” subtitled “On fraternity and social friendship.” This document focuses on the social and economic problems of today’s society; and proposes an ideal world of fraternity in which all countries can be part of a "larger human family.” To shine some much needed light on this document and its creator, we asked noted Catholic Star Herald columnist and professor at Loyola University Chicago’s Institute of Pastoral Studies, Michael Canaris, Ph.D., to help us better understand the encyclical. Our hosts Mary McCusker and Mike Walsh also invited our resident expert in missionary discipleship, Donna Ottaviano-Britt, onto the show to discuss how this global document has relevance to us here in New Jersey. It’s a truly enlightening conversation that helps us to understand the message and the author.
