FAVORITE QUOTE: “Ben-Horin’s diplomatic style was particularly appreciated by the Vatican because of his proverbial discretion and his familiarity with ‘Vaticanese, the special language of the Vatican,’ as he puts it. ‘Secretary of State Agostino Casaroli was a master of Vaticanese. He managed to speak silence in 8 languages.'”

Author: Jimmy Akin
Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."
