Pope's Encyclical may help set G8 Summit agenda

Ethical values are needed to overcome the current global economic crisis as well as to eradicate hunger and promote the real development of all the world's peoples, says Pope Benedict XVI in his new encyclical, Caritas in Veritate (Charity in Truth).

Given the world economic situation, you can count on this encyclical getting plenty of media attention. Already the Financial Times says the Pope is helping to set the agenda at the G8 Summit starting in Italy tomorrow with his call for more redistribution of wealth.

Our national bureau chief Deborah Gyapong is covering the summit and will be filing from Rome. Watch The B.C. Catholic for coverage.
