Today, the pope's new encyclical comes out - Caritas in Veritate ("Love in Truth"). The USCCB's media blog has a good prep for it - for those with the time to devour all of it! CinV comes at the end of a long line of very heavy social encyclicals over the past 120 years - Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum, Pius XI's Quadrigesimo Anno, John XXIII's Pacem in Terris, Paul VI's Populorum Progressio (which B16's present offering is supposed to reflect), and JPII's Solicitudo Rei Socialis.I go on vacation at the end of the week - so I'll have time to digest this one. I hope to bring out relevant points (in my way) as I read. So, stay tuned!

I look forward to it, Father, as I doubt I will have the time this week to read it fully. I don't trust every interpretation, but I do yours.
