LIVE: June 10 Daily Stream of the Georgetown Global Dialogues
In the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pope Francis set out a hopeful vision of human equality and fraternity in his 2020 encyclical Fratelli Tutti (“Brothers and Sisters All”). While acknowledging deep divisions and a pervasive “globalized indifference,” Francis called for a vibrant “culture of encounter” to bring people together, across divides, around shared concerns and common projects. Five years later, the Georgetown Global Dialogues are bringing leading novelists and public intellectuals to Rome to explore the theme of human fraternity in our divided world.
