Thank you, Patricia! A gem, worth re-reading.

For those interested, all Papal documents are available in electronic text at the Vatican website, I believe all are copyright-free, even recent and current works.

The most recent (June, 2009) encyclical written by (current) Pope Benedict XVI, "Charity in Truth," can be found here:

An example of a popular work by Pope John Paul II, "On the Role of the Christian Family in the Modern World," is available here:

These Papal works are available to copy from the website in English, French, German, Italian, Latin, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish.
