New papal encyclical due soon?
September 04, 2008
There has been no official announcement from the Vatican, but Ignatius Press-- which held exclusive US rights to the written work of Cardinal Ratzinger before he became Pope-- is advertising the encyclical on its web site, with a publication date of September 2008. The Ignatius blurb reads:
Pope Benedict’s third encyclical, Love in Truth (Caritas in Veritate), applies the themes of his first two encyclicals —love and hope (God Is Love, Saved in Hope) — to the world’s major social issues. Drawing on moral truths open, in principle, to everyone (the natural law) as well as on the teachings of the gospel (revelation), Pope Benedict addresses Catholics and non-Catholics alike, challenging us all to recognize and then to confront the social evils of our day.
