Papal Notes - Heresy in Fratelli Tutti

"The Vatican has published the third encyclical of Pope Francis called “Fratelli Tutti” (All Brothers). It was signed on October 3, 2020 in Assisi, Italy.

 Paragraph #34. “If everything is connected, it is hard to imagine that this global disaster is unrelated to our way of approaching reality … the harm we do to nature is itself the punishment for our offences. The world is itself crying out in rebellion.”
 
The idea that “everything is connected” comes from the same pantheistic teaching of the “circle of life.” It teaches that nature is sacred and divine just like God. Nature gives life and takes life. The title of the encyclical, “Fratelli Tutti” (All Brothers), is the sum of the Pope’s pontificate. This title is being exploited to teach heretical doctrines. How are we supposed to understand the meaning of the gospel that tells us who the true sons and daughters of God are?

He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:11-13.

The Bible clearly says that we are not all brothers because not all of us have received Christ. Only those who believe in the name of Christ are the children of God

So it seems that this “universal brotherhood” of Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Roman Catholics, Protestants and even pantheistic indigenous religions is a non-Biblical concept. It contradicts the holy word of God."
