In Charity and Truth

The Vatican has just (today) released the newest encyclical by the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, which is entitled in Latin Caritas in Veritate ("On Integral Human Development in Charity and Truth"). This is the third encyclical by the present Holy Father, the two previous being, respectively, on the topics of love and hope. This newest encyclycal is, in the words of the B16 himself, "on the vast theme of economics and labor." You can view the encyclical here, on the official Vatican website

Printed, it comes out to about 40 pages, so I haven't had time to read it just yet. When I do, I hope to post my thoughts (humble and elementary though they may be).
