This is an overview of the papal encyclical, Caritas in Veritate.

Caritas is not only a teaching about social ethics in the age of globalization. It is also a spiritual and theological treatise on the primacy of love in God's whole creation. It's about how divine love thirsts to transform the world, through converted human hearts, into God's healing kingdom of justice and peace, for the sake of every living human being; for the life, and the growth into full humanity, of every human being.
