Back in the mid-1990′s I was in the Masters of Theology program at Franciscan University of Steubenville (and yes, I’m still trying to finish that degree!). I had recently completed my B.S. degree in Systems Analysis, so I was one of the more technically-able students in the program. Pope John Paul II released an encyclical, and I was the wonder of my fellow students and the professors because I was able to get a copy of the encyclical off of the “internet” – a wondrous and unknown land of unlimited potential. I remember one professor (who shall remain nameless) begging me to print out a copy of the encyclical (I think it was Evangelium Vitae, but I can’t remember for sure) so that he could read it before anyone else in the department.

Why do I bring this up today? Because you too can be the wonder of your friends and neighbors by finding the latest papal encyclical – Caritas in Veritate – on that wondrous world of the “internet.” All you need to do is click here ^[1].
