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.
Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."
