Encyclical Rumour

Just a little Roman gossip

The Pope's second encyclical is tentatively titled "Spe Salvi” (Saved by Hope) and takes its inspiration from St. Paul’s letter to the Romans, the newspaper reported. The potential title comes from the 24th verse of the eighth chapter of St. Paul's letter, which reads: "Because we have been saved by hope."

La Repubblica says the Holy Father wants to "reach the hearts of Christians and invite them to have hope, without being thrashed by pessimism."
The document, according to the rumours should be signed by the Holy Father on December 8, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception and the anniversary of the close of Vatican II, which may or not be significant
