Aid to the Church in Need will help out:

Catholic aid organization, Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), has announced it will provide financial assistance for an effort by the Patriarch of Venice to provide an Arabic-language translation of Pope Benedict’s weekly public audience’s through the Oasis International Centre.

“What occurred to the words of our Holy Father, Benedict XVI, at the University of Regensburg was a misunderstanding, demonstrating the distances between two cultures, two ways of thinking and languages,” ACN’s International Ecclesiastical Assistant, Fr. Joaquín Alliende-Luco said.

“Especially in order to build a bridge between the Holy Father and the countries with Arab character, Aid to the Church in Need financially supports the translation of his weekly catechesis, each Wednesday,” Fr. Alliende-Luco said. “This aims to strengthen and to accompany the Christians in these countries.”
