Cartitas In Veritate – Charity in Truth
Pope Benedict’s ground-breaking encyclical offers a much needed ethical analysis of the global economic crisis and an essential moral framework on how to move forward as one human family. In this, his third encyclical, he calls us to see the relationship between human and environmental ecologies and to link charity and truth in the pursuit of justice, the common good, and authentic human development. In doing so, the pope points out the responsibilities and limitations of government and the private market, challenges traditional ideologies of right and left, and calls all men and women to think and act anew.
