The Church's CEO Speaks Out: I'd like to hear what Leslie Gaines-Ross has to say about this, although she's in Japan and may have other things on her mind.
But Leslie has written extensively about the "first 100 days" of a CEO,and the importance of using that time for learning and listening. I know Pope Benedict has been "CEO" of the Roman Catholic church for a little more than 100 days, but his first encyclical is obviously an important milestone, an opportunity to communicate his vision for the organization he now leads.
Was this bold defense of love--most of it could have been written by a protestant, a Hindu, a Buddhist, or an atheist like me--a positive (deflecting criticism that he might be a hard-liner on some cultural issues) or anegative (so bland it's almost meaingless)?

Maybe you should go to the Vatican web site and read the document for yourself. Reading the New york Times for religion? That may expalin why you are an atheist.
You should also read JPII's Splendor of Truth and Faith and Reason

Reader Jim may be confusing cause and effect: my atheism predates my exposure to The New York Times.
If I had to attribute it to any literary source, I'd pick The Bible.
