In discussing the recent encyclical, Carita In Veritae, by Pope Benedict XVI, Timothy George, an Evangelical and senior editor of Christianity Today, and Peter Casarella, a Roman Catholic and director of the DePaul Center for World Catholicism and Intercultural Theology, address the historical as well as the contemporary relevance of the publication in light of the Pope’s background, previous Papal encyclicals and current philosophical and theological thought both in and outside of the Church. Both George and Casarella weigh in on how this encyclical speaks to their traditions and contemporary Christianity as a whole, including topics of relativism, sanctity of life, Trinitarianism, world economy, and ecology.
