Today's Süddeutsche Zeitung gives significant coverage to the first encyclical of Pope Francis, Lumen Fidei. In its main editorial it writes about how people of all faiths and non spend time thinking about an afterlife or annihilation.
The encyclical was begun by Benedict and completed by Pope Francis.
The SZ editorial is in praise of Francis and points to the impetus he has given to the papacy in his short time in Rome.
That Francis is going to Lampedusa on Monday, according to the SZ editorial, is yet another clear example of the signals the pope wants to give the world. But the editorial adds that his visit to the refugee holding island is far more than a sign.
Three significant pieces in today's SZ including an article on the announcement that Pope John Paul II is to be canonised.
