[LifeSiteNews.com] April 5, 2006--The Church of love is also the Church of truth," said Pope Benedict XVI today, in an address to some 30,000 people gathered to hear his Wednesday General Audience in St. Peter's Square. The bishops, the successors of the Apostles, he said, carry out "above all a service of love; and the charity they live and promote is inseparable from the truth they defend and transmit." The Pope added, "Truth and love are two faces of the same gift that comes from God."
