Bressanone, Jul. 30, 2008 (CWNews.com) -
The director of the Vatican press office has
told reporters that during his current
vacation in Bressanone, Italy, Pope Benedict
XVI (bio

news) might be drafting a new book, an
encyclical-- or something entirely
different.
The papal spokesman, Father Federico
Lombardi, had earlier told journalists that
the Holy Father would spend some of his
vacation time on a writing project. He
pointed out that there are two projects
known to be on the Pope's active agenda: a
second volume of his work on Jesus Christ
and an encyclical devoted to Catholic social
teaching.
However, Father Lombardi observed that
the Pope could have other ideas. He reminded
reporters of the Pope's summer surprise last
year, "when we were all expecting the social
encyclical after his vacation in Cadore and
instead he wrote Spe salvi.” Spe
Salvi, the Pope's second encyclical, was
devoted to the theological virtue of hope.
