God Is Love

That's the English language title of Pope Benedict XVI's first encyclical which was released on Wednesday. From the Introduction:
We have come to believe in God's love: in these words the Christian can express the fundamental decision of his life. Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.

A papal document usually takes time to digest. Blogs that have posted comments, with more follow-up to come, include Open book, Thrown Back, and The Revolution (a sister Blog for Life).
