Pope's Message to America - Updated



I like that the Pope is talking to all of us, not just the Catholics. Here is the Vatican site with the complete text of his message to us.

Check out this story from John Allen which looks at the pope's previous comments about America in different books and talks. Very interesting.

I am beginning to get emails with links to places keeping up with the Holy Father on his visit ... I'll list them below and update as info comes in:
Of course, I am sure that all the usual suspects will be covering this as well such as American Papist, Whispering in the Loggia, Amy Welborn at Charlotte was Both and more.

Picky, Picky, Picky



I agree with The Curt Jester about this ad which was pulled at the request of the Washington D.C. Archdiocese:
My own opinion is that it is a somewhat clever ad (quality more YouTubish than polished) that certainly was not meant to be disrespectful and a good way to advertise the Papal Mass. I did like the Pontiff and Driver magazine the man was reading. With so much media that actually engages in Catholic bashing it seems silly to me to get upset over an ad such as this.
