"In his latest encyclical Fratelli tutti published Oct. 3, Pope Francis expressed apertis verbis in an absolutely unprecedented key an idea of universal brotherhood, as a bond that unites all human beings beyond their faith, ideology, skin color, social background, language, culture and nation. It is a thought that is close to the ideals that have been the very foundation of Freemasonry since its origins. For more than 300 years the principle of brotherhood has been written indelibly in the Masonic trinomial placed in the East in the temples along with those of liberty and equality. And,the realization of a universal brotherhood, is from its origins the great mission and dream of Freemasonry."
