Theological Virtue and the Papal magisterium of Benedict XVI

Rocco over at Whispers reports that, contrary to what was previously reported, the next encyclical by the Holy Father will not be on global development, but, sticking with the theological virtues, it will be on hope. The tentative title of the letter, according to Catholic News Service's Rome correspondent, John Thavis, is Spe Salvi, which means "Saved by Hope".

According to Thavis, the encyclical is complete, but there is no word on when it will be formally promulgated.
