The new encyclical letter from Pope Benedict XVI On Integral Human Development in Charity and Truth was released this past Tuesday.
I’ve uploaded a print-friendly PDF version of the letter. Like all of the documents on my site, it is designed in a two-column format, with footnotes rather than endnotes. You can download it here.
I haven’t had a chance to read the whole thing yet, so I’m not going to post about it just yet. There are plenty of people doing that right now; for reactions and opinions, see the Opinionated Catholic linkfest.
There will be plenty of time to examine this encyclical later; I don’t feel any need to correspond to a frenzied news cycle.
Instead, I’m gearing up for a slow, methodical treatment of John Paul II’s document on priestly formation. I hope to have the first post prepared by the weekend.
Chad,
I will be posting a print-friendly version. I’m already working on formatting it, and hope to have it ready by Sunday.
Can you upload a print-friendly, two-column version like you did with the last two encyclicals? It makes it so much easier to read! Thank you!
