Pope Benedict in America
Pope Benedict XVI visited sites in New York and Washington April 15-20, and his presence and message captured the imagination and hearts of Catholics throughout the country.
Several weeks have passed since that visit, but Catholics in Idaho only caught glimpses of the Holy Father and even fewer of the rrords of encouragement he intended them to hear. This special feature, based on a SpecialSection of The Idaho Catholic Register, provides excerpts from his major addresses, sorted into the following categories: Catholicism in Culture and History American culture, international politics, sex abuse, Catholic Education, Christian Hope, Freedom, Young People and the Priesthood. For full texts of his addresses, readers should go to the U.S. bishops' Web site, www.usccb.org.
We hope this provides you with a flavor of Pope Benedict's visit to America.
