Rev. Robert Sirico & Dr. Samuel Gregg on analyzing Fratelli Tutti

<p>On October 3rd, 2020, Pope Francis released the third encyclical letter of his pontificate: <em>Fratelli Tutti</em>.</p><br><p>Literally translated as “Brothers all,” <em>Fratelli Tutti</em> is a call from Pope Francis for more human fraternity and solidarity. In it, Francis addresses a number of topics, including racism, immigration, capital punishment, war, politics and economics.</p><br><p>In addressing economic issues, Francis warns against “financial speculation,” cautions that “not everything can be resolved by market freedom,” and denounces the “dogma of neoliberal faith.”</p><br><p>It is with these economic issues that, in his article reviewing <em>Fratelli Tutti</em> for Catholic World Report, Acton’s Dr. Samuel Gregg sees “economic caricatures roam[ing] throughout Francis’s documents.”</p><br><p>In this episode, Acton Institute president and co-founder Rev. Robert Sirico and Acton’s director of research Dr. Samuel Gregg discuss <em>Fratelli Tutti</em> in general, and in particular the economic concerns raised therein.</p><br><p><a href="http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20201003_enciclica-fratelli-tutti.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Fratelli Tutti</em> - Pope Francis</a></p><br><p><a href="https://blog.acton.org/archives/117251-fratelli-tutti-is-a-familiar-mixture-of-dubious-claims-strawmen-genuine-insights.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fratelli Tutti is a familiar mixture of dubious claims, strawmen, genuine insights - Samuel Gregg</a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.acton.org/video/fr-robert-sirico-responds-laudato-si" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rev.
