Lumen fidei – New Encyclical from Pope Francis

I am reading Lumen fidei, the new, first encyclical from Pope Francis.

From what I can tell, it is nearly entirely Benedict.

If, as Pope, you have to have a ghost writer, why not another Pope?  Talk about “Reading Francis through Benedict”!

Nay rather,

“Reading Benedict Through Francis”!

I will write more about this later, but from the onset I was happy to see that it is “of the Supreme Pontiff Francis” and not from “Francis, Bishop of Rome”.
