San Francisco manifestó la esencia de una condición fraternal abierta que nos permite reconocer, apreciar y amar cada persona, sin tener en cuenta su cercanía física o donde él o ella han nacido o viven. Este santo del amor fraterno, de la sencillez y de la alegría, ha inspirado al Papa para escribir la encíclica Laudato Si’ y da pie ahora, una vez más, para dedicar esta nueva encíclica a la fraternidad y a la amistad social. Las páginas que siguen no ofrecen un comentario completo o una enseñanza global sobre el amor fraterno, sino más bien su dimensión universal, su apertura a cada ser humano, hombre o mujer. El Papa ofrece esta encíclica social como una contribución a la reflexión continuada pensando en nuestros días y en la necesidad de superar el rechazo de los demás, del otro, y proponer una visión de la fraternidad y la amistad social que no se quede sólo en palabras. Es lo que pretende y propone este artículo que sigue la enseñanza de la doctrina social de la Iglesia.. Abstract: Saint Francis expressed the essence of a fraternal openness that allows us to acknowledge, appreciate and love each person, regardless of physical proximity, regardless of where he or she was born or lives. This saint of fraternal love, simplicity and joy, inspired me to write the Encyclical Laudato Si’, and prompts the Pope once more to devote this new Encyclical to fraternity and social friendship. The following pages do not claim to offer a complete teaching on fraternal love, but rather to consider its universal scope, its openness to every man and woman. The Pope offer this social Encyclical as a modest contribution to continued reflection, in the hope that in the face of present-day attempts to eliminate or ignore others, we may prove capable of responding with a new vision of fraternity and social friendship that will not remain at the level of words. This paper presents the main concepts of the Papal encyclical on fraternity and social friendship and the social efforts and requirements for develop bonds in support of poor people discriminates in their human rights.
