Weekend Kneeler Jeopardy


Gone for the weekend, so don't get this one right out of the shoot. Please.

Where do the Latin names of Papal Encyclicals come from?

St. Alex says, place your answer in the form of a question in the combox, say some prayers for the Holy Father's intentions, while you wait for the answer to be revealed.

Your humble prize for a correct answer is the satisfaction of knowing you are a brainiac!

What are the first few words of the Latin Papal Encyclicals?

Joe of St. Thérèse said...

What are 1 Jn 4, 8 (Deus Caritas Est) and Rom 8, 24 (Spe Salve)?

Darn it, V. beat me. Yes, I knew that too. Really.

Okay, Miss Smarty....give an example of a papal encyclical that did not have a Latin title... what was the language and who promulgated it, and why? :-D

V:
You are certifiably a brainiac! I have that the titles come from the first two words of the encyclical.

Gem:
Um, I have no idea off the top of my head. I'd have to google it!

It's "MIT BRENNENDER SORGE" from Pius XI, regards the situation in Nazi Germany, issued in 1937.
