Pope Francis is about to publish his first encyclical, called Lumen Fidei (Light of Faith), which he has said is largely the work of his predecessor, Benedict XVI.
“It’s an encyclical written with four hands, so to speak, because Pope Benedict began writing it and he gave it to me,” Pope Francis said. “It’s a strong document. I will say in it that I received it and most of the work was done by him and I completed it.”
The new encyclical will complete the trio begun by Benedict XVI with his Deus Caritas Est (2005) on charity, and Spe Salvi (2007) on hope.
