Perhaps because the Vatican Web site posted the letter on August 10, 2007? If one goes to the index page for letters written in 2007, ans scrolls down a bit, one can see:
Letter on the occasion of the 16th centenary of the
death of Saint John Chrysostom (August 10, 2007)
[Italian]
I guess that would do it. Still, it’s interesting that there isn’t an English translation up on the Vatican site yet.
