23. The Brotherhood of Mankind Needs Religion to Ground It

<p>In the last chapter of Fratelli Tutti, Pope Francis makes the point that true, stable fraternity is not going to happen "without an openness to the Father of all." (272) The root of all religion is love for God and love for neighbor, he says, and violence has no place in any belief system. Do you agree? Listen and hear his perspective.&nbsp; jonnycatholic.wordpress.com Fratelli Tutti: http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20201003_enciclica-fratelli-tutti.html</p> <p><em>Slight Change</em>: In this episode, I used the term "ecumenism" to refer to dialogue among different religions. This was incorrect. <a href="https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/ecumenism">Ecumenism</a> is defined as "the principle or aim of promoting unity among the world's Christian Churches", not among every religion.</p>
