Lumen Fidei

 

More wonderful events today.  Pope Francis has promulgated his first encyclical, Lumen fidei, The Light of Faith.  He took the unfinished encyclical of Pope Benedict and based his first on it: he said that four hands worked on it: his and Benedict's.

 

I have had a quick look at it - it seems to be a marvellous piece of work.  With holidays coming, I shall be able to read it at my leisure.

 

Here is the link to the encyclical on the Vatican website.  And here is the official summary via Zenit news.
