‘Pacem in terris’ at 60: A brief guide to a landmark encyclical
Why is 'Pacem in terris' remembered when other, more recent encyclicals have been nearly forgotten?
Sixty years ago this week, Pope John XXIII published what would prove to be his final encyclical.
The Italian pope would die less than two months after Pacem in terris was released April 11, 1963.
The encyclical’s 60th anniversary year is being marked with conferences, essays, and papal messages.
