BENEDICT XVI: THE FIRST ENCYCLICA IN RUSSIAN

16th of April catholic believers in Moscow got an excellent Easter present – they got the opportunity to read the first Encyclica of Pope Benedict XVI "Deus Caritas est" in their native language. Russian translation of this document was published as a supplement to the Russian Catholic Weekly "Svet Evangelia" (SE) "Roma Locuta". The first circulation of brochure (3000 copies) has already gone. Editor-in-Chief of the weekly Victor Khroul said that now they are thinking about the reprinting the Encyclica once more because the issue of SE with the Papal Letter inside "is really becoming the bestseller in Russia".
