Benedict’s encyclical on Faith will not be published

Wednesday, February 13th, 2013

Pope Benedict XVI will not publish a 3rd encyclical, which had originally been scheduled for release early this year, the papal spokesman has announced.

Last year the Vatican had announced that the Pontiff was drafting an encyclical on faith, to complement his two previous encyclicals on hope and on love. But the text is not complete, Father Federico Lombardi told reporters, and will not be completed before the Pope’s resignation on February 28.
