Pope Benedict's Christmas address to the Curia

There has been a lot of discussion about Pope Benedict's Christmas speech to the members of the Roman Curia.
His speech is available on the Vatican web site in Italian and German, but not yet in English.
There is an unofficial English translation available from the English and Welsh dioceses. (A pdf reader is needed).

Most of the press comment has been about his references to gender studies. I had never heard of this, but the Pope is right on the ball, and we have gender studies right here, in river city. For example, at the University of Sydney and University of NSW. I think it is well worth the effort to read Pope Benedict's speech and look at the university course descriptions.
