phatcatholic Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 [quote name='Raphael' date='Oct 25 2005, 10:49 AM']I said, "I believe" after my claim...perhaps I'm wrong. Either way, I don't think the Italian media is dumb enough to think that he would be able to know the page numbers only a few days after the close of the synod. I'm certain they truly do mean an encyclical. [right][snapback]769961[/snapback][/right][/quote] well, w/o an official statement from the Vatican, the "fifty pages" is just as much a rumor as the fact that he is even writing an encyclical or that this encyclical will be released on Dec 8th. i'm sorry if i sound unduly argumentative. i know this isn't really anything to spend time bickering over. i'm just showing everyone how i came to the conclusion that i stated in [url="http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/index.php?showtopic=41850&view=findpost&p=769865"][b]this post[/b][/url]. pax christi, phatcatholic
Theoketos Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 I think that the sky is green according to the Italian Press.
Cam42 Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 [quote name='Aloysius' date='Oct 25 2005, 08:53 AM']I think I'm gonna try to like... read all his encyclicals as they come out. that'd be cool to be able to say you read all the pope's encyclicals as they were published... do they publish it simultaneously in all major languages? i assume they do.. [right][snapback]769798[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Not necessarily......
phatcatholic Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 darn! i was hoping Cam would settle the matter on what we should expect from the pope in the coming months........

argent_paladin Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Just wanted to remind you about what I wrote a few months ago... [quote]If I were a betting man, I would say to look for it around November 1. Benedict wouldn't step on JP2's toes and in his last encyclical, JP proclaimed a "Year of the Eucharist" that ends this October. So, it a way, we are still in the time of that encyclical. Also, November is the month when the old liturgical year ends and the new one begins. What better time to promulgate an encyclical on the Sacred Liturgy than Advent!! We will certainly be having our own sort of advent on phatmass, eagerly awaiting the coming of the encyclical, that may save the liturgy. [/quote] [url="http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/index.php?showtopic=39414&view=findpost&p=718273"]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/index.php?s...ndpost&p=718273[/url] It is around Nov 1 and we are looking for it. Dec. 8 would put it during the second week of advent. I should be a Vaticanologist! Perhaps it will be on the Sacred Liturgy after all.
Era Might Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 I would be shocked if the Holy Father didn't devote an Encyclical to the Sacred Liturgy, although personally, I don't think it'll be his first. Just a guess, but I think he'll strike on the themes he turned heads with when he gave his sermon during the Interregnum.
phatcatholic Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 so, an encyclical about the evils of relativism? i can dig that
