Hide, quick, he's coming!

It's Egg's Benedict time. Let me see...Here's a nice little gem from the past:



On a serious note, Pope Benedict XVI's new encyclical "Deus caritas est" (the first of his Pontificate) has been published in numerous languages. The motif of the piece, as you might gather from it's title, is divine and human love.

For the most part, in my eyes, his thoughts about love are just out of this world. In the first section he is already bouncing ideas off of giants from the past like Nietzsche, Descartes, Virgil, and the list continues.

And all this is coming from a humble man who took time during the Conclave process to pray that he not become Pope. Well, anyways. If you wish to read it, do yourself a favor and skate on over to the Vatican website.
