Benedict Welcomes Barack

Commander Craig with the latest on President Obama's visit to the Vatican and some first thoughts on the Pope's new social encyclical, "Caritas in Veritate" ("Charity in Truth"). We'll also try to understand why a former papal theologian to John Paul II is comparing Obama's "realistic" approach to relations with Islam and to the abortion issue to the writings of Pope Paul VI, Vatican II, and St. Thomas Aquinas. Finally some readings from The Rule of St. Benedict on the memorial of the father of Western monasticism. Special guests: The Raritan Valley Redemptorist Ramblers and their musical setting of "Caritas in Veritate".
