Papal Notes - Francis "Desire"

 ....even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.  
Daniel 7:20
 
"Although Ayuso emphasized that he hasn’t yet read the new
encyclical, titled Fratelli Tutti and dedicated to the theme of human fraternity, he said he hopes it won’t be subject to the same political spin as Francis’s last encyclical, Laudato si’, in 2016.
 
The day Laudato Si’ was published, the pope came here to our office to meet with us,” he said. “The meeting was at 11:15 a.m. We talked with him, and at the end we said, ‘This new ‘ecological’ encyclical, this ‘green’ encyclical, as people were saying, is about to come out at noon.
 
He said to us, ‘Green’? ‘Ecological’? Why? My desire is nothing
more than to reawaken in the Church and the world the social doctrine of the Church
.’”
