A Personal Translation Bugbear ...

So interesting to learn about International Translation Day, established by the United Nations in 2017, which occurs on 30 September every year and its connection with St Jerome. With that in mind, a request:

📝 Dear (English) Translators of Pope Francis,

Please consider using the word ‘kinship’ rather then ‘fraternity’. It is more inclusive of all God’s creatures (and women).

Thank you. 🌾🍁🕸🦗

PS. Laudato Si' & Fratelli Tutti could then be known as “Kincyclicals” - doesn’t this have a nice ring to it?
