It’s kinda slim pickin’s this week. I guess Pope Benedict was resting up for his trip to Mexico and Cuba–and so were his translators apparently (or: Both he and they were working on translations of the speeches he’s giving on his trip). Anyway, here are this week’s items for The Weekly Benedict (subscribe here; get as an eBook for your Kindle, iPod, iPad, Nook, or other eBook reader):
ANGELUS: Angelus, 18 March 2012
SPEECH: To Participants in a Course sponsored by the Apostolic Penitentiary (March 9, 2012)
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."
