Lil Red Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 +J.M.J.+ i've added a poll to see which encyclical to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyP89 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) I'm in! I've never read an encyclical before, but am willing to wade through as I'm able. What are these four about? I know Deus Caritas Est is about God's love... Edited May 22, 2009 by MissyP89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KevinSymonds Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis it not an option. It's not an Encyclical Seriously though, I would love studies of the older Encyclicals first because they provide much background to the newer ones. Work your way from the bottom (foundation) up. That's the best approach. I vote [i]Mirari Vos[/i] by Gregory XVI. If you've ever wanted to read Popes talk in the old language of "damnable, impious and perverse men" who spread their "accursed doctrines" over the entire world, then Gregory is for you.

Deus Caritas Est is on Christian Love. Spe Salvi is on Christian Hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
