Taking the place of our Phrase of the Day is Benedict XVI’s encyclical, Charity in Truth:
Fidelity to man requires fidelity to the truth, which alone is the guarantee of freedom (cf. Jn 8:32) and of the possibility of integral human development. For this reason the Church searches for truth, proclaims it tirelessly and recognizes it wherever it is manifested. This mission of truth is something that the Church can never renounce. Her social doctrine is a particular dimension of this proclamation: it is a service to the truth which sets us free.
I’ve only partially read the introduction, but I think this particular encyclical is going to wind up rather important in the history of human understanding – Charity and Truth are inseparable. There will be many lessons to be learned, for both the right and the left.
