Monday, March 15th, 2021

Pope Francis said on Wednesday that he was “delighted” to learn that a Muslim group had overseen the translation of his latest encyclical into Russian.

In a message released by the Holy See press office on March 3, the pope said it was “a beautiful and joyful surprise” to hear that the encyclical Fratelli tutti had been translated into Russian and presented at a cultural center in the capital, Moscow.

“In this way, it will be made available to a large number of men and women of goodwill who wish to confront this text,” the pope said in the message dated Feb. 17.
