In this issue of Catholic Update author Kenneth R. Overberg, S.J., explains and discusses Pope Benedict XVI's June 2009 encyclical, Charity in Truth (Caritas in Veritate). "According to Charity in Truth," writes Overberg, "globalization and technology offer great promise and profound threat to authentic human development....Only an economy of communion, a business ethic centered in persons and not profit, will be a sufficient response to the present economic and financial crisis." Overberg review the six chapters of the encyclical in depth. In conclusion, he asks, "So what does this encyclical mean for us members of the Church and for all people of goodwill? Both 'a great challenge' (#9) and a gracious invitation: a challenge for all to take it seriously, especially the parts that do not fit our convictions; an invitation for a thorough examination of conscience, including our usually unexamined assumptions."
