Pope Benedict's new encyclical, Spe Salvi (which means 'in hope we were saved') has just been published. It follows on from his first letter to the Church, Deus Caritas Est , which dealt with love, by considering the theological virtue of hope. Care to take a bet that the next one might be about faith? Christopher Howse writes :
A colleague, staring at the Pope's latest encyclical, remarked, "There's no news here. It's all about God." He was right, after a fashion, for the document, the second encyclical by Pope Benedict XVI since his election two and a half years ago, is about hope and salvation. Its title, Spe Salvi, is from a phrase in St Paul's Epistle to the Romans, "In hope we were saved."

Not quite what Yeats wrote, but true nonetheless.

Has a more charitable way of wasting time ever been invented?
