Fr Ashley, who describes the encyclical as “a major teaching document in relation to the social teaching of the Catholic Church”, has written a brief initial introduction to the Pope’s letter which you can read here. Fr Ashley gave a series of five talks during Lent to discuss the encyclical further, and you can watch recordings of these on our webcam. Discussions were held via Zoom afterwards. Presentation slides for the talks are available below.

FURTHER READING
In addition to Fratelli Tutti, the Pope also published a new book in December 2020, in collaboration with the English journalist (and his biographer) Austen Ivereigh, entitled Let us Dream. It’s very readable, only £10.99 and easy to get hold of. During the talks Fr Ashley also recommended reading Ivereigh’s biography of Pope Francis, and another by Christopher Lamb, shown below.
