Pope Francis has chosen the theme of slavery for the 2015 World Day of Peace, writes Hannah Roberts.
The message for the forty-eighth annual feast day, initiated by Pope Paul VI and celebrated each year on the first day of January, will be “Slaves no more, but brothers and sisters”. A statement of doctrine indicating the Holy See’s diplomatic line during the coming year is sent to the world’s foreign ministers on this day.
