Zac and Kevin break down Pope Benedict XVI's first encyclical, Deus Caritas Est (God is Love). We talk about eros vs. agape, how Christianity transformed notions of love from antiquity, the centrality of the incarnation and the Eucharist in the Christian life, the threefold responsibility of the Church, and Catholic Social Teaching. We also debut a new jingle for the Encyclicalpedia series!
