This is a simplified and abridged version of the first encyclical letter of Pope Benedict XVI, Deus Caritas Est. It aims to make the text available to the widest possible audience. It includes a set of questions for reflection or discussion and should be of interest to parishes, schools and small groups of all kinds.
The purpose of this unofficial abridged version of the encyclical is to introduce the reader to the full text. Having read the abridged version, interest in some parts of it may lead to reading them in greater detail in the encyclical itself.
