Another Encyclical From Pope Francis?

Rumours have it that it will expand on the heterodox teachings in the infamous 'Abu Dhabi Statement' that claims that God wills all religions.

It’s rumored that the Holy Father is readying his third encyclical, and that it will focus on human fraternity.It is said that the pope will soon publish an encyclical on the theme of human fraternity, according to Bishop Dominico Pompili of Rieti, Italy.

The Holy See has not confirmed the report.

The pope has published two encyclicals so far: Lumen Fidei (2013) and Laudato Si’ (2015).Bishop Pompili said the theme of the upcoming encyclical is human fraternity. The prelate was speaking at an organizational event for the 800th anniversary of St. Francis’ rule, to be celebrated in 2023.

If the prelate is correct, then the encyclical would presumably develop themes from the jointly-signed “Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together” presented by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ahmed Al-Tayyeb on February 4, 2019.

This gesture by the current pope echoed the peaceful meeting of Saint Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscans, and Sultan Malik Al-Kamil in Egypt in 1219 – which is why the Italian bishop referred to it during his speech on August 26.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
