Update on the First Encyclical
------------------------------------------------------------
It seems the release date will now be Christmas Day instead of December 8. The Pope wished to have the Encyclical reviewed by a pool of experts, and Christmas Day is to be the release dateso it comes as a gift to the Christian world.
It will be about 60 pages long, and reliable Vatican sources said the Pope is having it reviewed by appropriate experts, whom he has asked to give him their authoritative opinions. The
experts are consultants who have worked for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

How's that for those who have accused our Benedict of "isolating himself in his ivory tower"?
