At a mass in Brazil yesterday these words: You believe in the God who is Love: this is your strength, which overcomes the world, the joy that nothing and no one can ever take from you, the peace that Christ won for you by his Cross! This is the faith that has made America the…

Thanks to anonymous for supplying the text of the Pope’s address that the media reported was essentially about abortion: “I Send You Out on the Great Mission of Evangelizing” My dear young friends! “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor … and come, follow me” (Mt 19:21).…
