At Home with the Pope: Inside Benedict XVI’s Daily Life
The Pope leads a very “exciting” life, and so do his personal servants (I would call them slaves) who take care of his every need. Imagine that, these people “… practice obedience, poverty and chastity…” Brilliant! And what about all … Continue reading

Pope urges dialogue in Libya, not ‘use of arms’

Pope exonerates Jews for Jesus’ death in new book

Pope urges doctors to protect women from abortion

Pope calls Joan of Arc model for public officials
