"Spe Salvi" - AmP Coverage of Pope Benedict's Second Encyclical

I am planning on waking up early tomorrow morning to provide comprehensive links and coverage of Pope Benedict's second encyclical "Spe Salvi" (on the theological virtue of Hope). So check back then!

What we know:

• The official press conference will be at 11:30am Rome time (6:30am EST)
• The encyclical is 81 pages long (update: CNS claims it is only 65). The Pope's first encyclical ("Deus Caritas Est"), by comparison was about 50 pages (I believe).
• "Spe Salvi" will be the 295th encyclical published since the first one was issued in 1740.
• It is not guaranteed that the text of the encyclical will be published tomorrow morning, but *ahem* we live in hope, and I'll do my best to find a reliable copy as soon as it's available.
• The Pope's last encyclical was signed Christmas Day, 2006, and released January 25th, 2007. It is believed that this encyclical will be published shortly after being signed, if not the same day.

Some advance reading:

Zenit just posted an interview with Monsignor Robert Sokolowski on the Pope's upcoming encyclical.

Irony of ironies - I just got out of my class with Msgr. Sokolowski. I wish he would tell me these things. :)
