Vatican City, Mar 3, 2021 / 01:00 pm MT (CNA).- 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.
“I was also delighted and impressed by the fact that it was the Muslim International Forum that edited this Russian-language translation.”
According to its website, the Muslim International Forum seeks the “consolidation of moderate and constructive forces of the entire Muslim world.”
The pope said: “I think that reflection and dialogue on this encyclical can be of help not only for the Russian Federation, where dialogue between Christians and Muslims is called to grow, but for the human family as a whole.”
“Indeed, in the globalized and interconnected world in which we live, a gesture that is made in one corner has repercussions in every other part.”
Pope Francis released Fratelli tutti, which means “All brothers” in Italian, on Oct. 4, 2020.

In my short life four notable events have happened. Honduras and Guatemala conquered America without firing a shot. China conquered the world without firing a shot. Angela Merkel has done what Stalin, FDR, and Churchill couldn’t do, and Pope Marx did what Muhammed couldn’t do.
Oh yeah. And America installed a chomo president.
