A special edition of the Vatican newspaper containing the new encyclical is distributed in St. Peter’s Square at the end of Pope Francis’ Sunday Angelus blessing on Oct. 4 in Vatican City. Pope Francis introduced ‘Fratelli Tutti’ (All Brothers) and said he had the ‘joy of giving the new encyclical.’

The new writing calls on the world to unite in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainty and political and social turmoil.
