[NOTE FROM JIMMY: I want to say a very special thank you to Jeff Miller. I haven’t been able to post The Weekly Benedict as often as planned (which is to say, weekly), but Jeff has graciously volunteered to handle its composition and posting. Thanks, bro! BTW, be sure to check out Jeff’s awesome ebook version of The Weekly Benedict, linked below. And now, the Mr. Jeff Miller  . . . ]

NOTE: Not much this week, despite a lot of recent activity from the pope. There’s some really good Benedict-ions waiting to be translated into English (I am particularly waiting for translations of his annual January addresses to the Roman Rota and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, both of which are up in Italian). I wish the Vatican translation squad would get moving and get them done and posted.

Due to the holidays, I didn't do The Weekly Benedict last week, so here's another double-dose of our awesome pope! (In fact, it's an unusually large double-dose, because the pope is especially active this time of year–so pray for his health and rest–and because the Vatican web site guys got their hinders in gear and delivered a whole month's worth of speeches in English at once.)
