Pope Benedict XVI announces upcoming release of his third encyclical

On Monday, June 29, 2009, while addressing the faithful after the “Lord Angel” prayers, Pope Benedict XVI informed them that his third encyclical, named “Caritas in veritate” or Love in truth,” will soon be released and will address various social questions. The Holy Father said that “continuing the themes contained in the Encyclical “Populorum progressio” (Advancement of the nations), written by Servant of God Paul VI, this document, published on June 29, the feast of the Apostles Peter and Paul, intends to deepen the understanding of some aspects of development through the light of love and truth. The Church is offering this knowledge, that will add to your prayers, that reflects a total respect for human dignity and the needs of all people.”
