The encyclical is addressed to all the people of the world, so naturally it would include Christian and non-Christian aspects. What's wrong with asking non-Christians to pray to God the Creator as they understand Him?

Their God the Creator is the same as the Triune God. They just don't understand that.

What’s wrong with asking non-Christians to convert to the One, True Faith, and praying for them to do so, rather than preparing prayers for them to pray in their false religions?

This pope doesn’t give a hoot about saving souls; he’s more interested in saving seals and snails.

And as a result, Francis publishes separate prayers for his adoring crowd to pray. Gotta please everyone all the time, except for those sour-pussed, rosary counting, Pelagians.

Did Jesus Christ teach an alternative prayer to the Pater Noster to appease the Jews?

They just don't understand that.

And Francis just doesn't understand "extra Ecclesiam nulla salus". Apparently you don't either.

Aren't all papal encyclicals addressed to all the people of the world?

Let, therefore, the separated children draw nigh to the Apostolic See, set up in the City which Peter and Paul, the Princes of the Apostles, consecrated by their blood; to that See, We repeat, which is "the root and womb whence the Church of God springs,"[27] not with the intention and the hope that "the Church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth"[28] will cast aside the integrity of the faith and tolerate their errors, but, on the contrary, that they themselves submit to its teaching and government. Would that it were Our happy lot to do that which so many of Our predecessors could not, to embrace with fatherly affection those children, whose unhappy separation from Us We now bewail. Would that God our Savior, "Who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth,"[29] would hear us when We humbly beg that He would deign to recall all who stray to the unity of the Church! In this most important undertaking We ask and wish that others should ask the prayers of Blessed Mary the Virgin, Mother of divine grace, victorious over all heresies and Help of Christians, that She may implore for Us the speedy coming of the much hoped-for day, when all men shall hear the voice of Her divine Son, and shall be "careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."[30] MORTALIUM ANIMOS

Fosters religious indifferentism (a condemned heresy) from the top down.

The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita

"...The secret papers of the Alta Vendita that fell into the hands of Pope Gregory XVI embrace a period that goes from 1820 to 1846. They were published at the request of Pope Pus IX by Cretineau-Joly in his work The Roman Church and Revolution.(4)..."
