FIRST ENCYCLICAL --- Pope Benedict XVI signs his first encyclical, "Deus Caritas Est" ("God Is Love"), in his private library at the Vatican Jan. 23. The pope said his aim in the encyclical is to "speak of the love which God lavishes upon us and which we in return must share with others." Archbishop Leonardo Sandri, assistant papal secretary of state, is at right in this photo.
