The Vatican’s publisher Libreria Editrice Vaticana is reporting that over one million copies the new encyclical by Pope Benedict XVI, Spe Salvi, have been sold since it was released on November 30.
The Holy Father’s second encyclical is devoted to the topic of Christian hope, “in a world dominated by disbelief and distrust present in questions related to the transcendent,” the Vatican publisher indicated.
“Man needs God, otherwise he remains without hope,” as “the God in whom Christians believe presents himself as the true hope of the contemporary world because He opens for him the hope of salvation,” the publisher stated.
