教皇通谕

八国集团（G8）峰会前夕，本笃十六世（PopeBenedictXVI）发布了教皇通谕，告诫：现代人有时错误地深信，他是自己、自己的人生以及社会的唯一创作者。

Buried deep in the Encyclical Letter issued on the eve of the G8 Summit , Pope Benedict XVI warns : Sometimes modern man is wrongly convinced that he is the sole author of himself , his life and society .

教皇通谕是教皇写给天主教教职人员和俗世信徒的信，在人们眼中具有权威性。
