Pope Francis releases his first encyclical "The Light of Faith", a collaboration with Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. It is 82 pages and a meditation on faith.
Benedict's hand is evident throughout much of the first three chapters of "The Light of Faith," with his theological style, concerns and reference points clear.
Francis' priorities come through strongest in the final chapter, where the Argentine Jesuit insists on the role of faith in serving the common good and giving hope to those who suffer.
