The Future of Humanity
A webinar to discuss Pope Francis' new encyclical 'Fratelli Tutti'

A Zoom webinar with Fr Bruce Duncan giving an appraisal of the new encyclical, with Danusia Kaska responding and considering what it means for us in Australia.

Thursday 22 October 2020, 7.30 to 8.30pm, Australian Eastern Daylight Time (8.30am UTC for overseas participants). Ample time for questions and discussion will be given.

Speakers

Fr Bruce Duncan will talk about the significance of Fratelli tutti since the coronavirus has severely damaged economies everywhere, and why it is now even more urgent to build a better future. What is so different in the new encyclical to what the Pope said in Laudato Si’ in 2015?

He has taught about the history of Catholic social thought and movements at Yarra Theological Union in Melbourne for many years, and is Director of the ecumenical social advocacy network Social Policy Connections.

Danusia Kaska is the Xavier Social Justice Network Coordinator at Xavier College, Melbourne, and is a member of the SPC board.
