Abstract

The article analyses the political dimension of the fraternity category in the encyclical of the Holy Father Francis Fratelli tutti. In its first part the author recapitulates the essence of brotherhood presented in the encyclical. In the second, the importance of the political dimension of the Pope’s understanding of brotherhood is revealed. The third part of the text is devoted to presenting the challenges that arise in the context of the proposed approach to the fraternity from the perspective of the social doctrine of the Church. In the last, fourth part, the possible source of those challenges is discussed by showing the tension between the Fratelli tutti’s understanding of brotherhood and the Catholic tradition of understanding of brotherhood.
