Anderson: Pope to Bring "Revolution of Virtue" PDF Print E-mail
Written by Administrator   
Wednesday, 02 April 2008
benedettoxvi-12.jpg Benedict XVI will bring with him to the United States this month a "revolution of virtue," says the leader the Knights of Columbus.

Supreme Knight Carl Anderson, in Rome today to present his book "A Civilization of Love: What Every Catholic Can Do to Transform the World," told ZENIT that the message of the Pontiff's two encyclicals is the same one the people of the United States are waiting for when he visits April 15-20.

"We are talking about a revolution of virtue, but of the theological virtues: faith, hope and love," said Anderson. "And this is the message Benedict XVI has given us with his two encyclicals, 'Deus Caritas Est," on love, and 'Spe Salvi,' on hope."

The supreme knight said that especially during this election year, Americans are waiting "in a tremendous way” to hear about “the question of change and the question of hope, and Christianity is a religion of change and a religion of hope.”

Commenting on the contents of his book, Anderson said, “The effect of 9/11 it still very strong in the United States, and one of the things I suggest in the book is to discover what kind of people we are, what kind of people we want to become.”

The answer to these questions, he said, is precisely in the civilization of love.
