FRATERNITÀ E MADRE TERRA: Tutti fratelli e sorelle nella casa comune.

This paper studies the concept of fraternity in the light of the Magisterium of Pope Francis. In the first part, it focuses on some of its meanings that are reductive and insufficient. Then, it presents the characteristics that Pope Francis assigns to it (2nd part) and how he applies it to our relationship with Sister Mother Earth (3rd part). Contradicting the current “undifferentiated and one-dimensional paradigm”, the Pope teaches that fraternity is unity in diversity. The model is the “many-faceted polyhedron whose different sides form a variegated unity”. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
