The new document – '' Caritas in Veritate '' ( " Love in Truth " ) – is about 100 pages long , the official said . Originally planned for 2007 to mark the 40th anniversary of Pope Paul VI 's landmark social encyclical Populorum Progressio , the new papal document suffered a succession of delays as the current global economic crisis unfolded . On the day of the actual release , 7 July 2009 , the '' Financial Times '' reported the final publication had been delayed to coincide with the G8 summit in Italy
