Pope Benedict XVI comes to America

In case you aren't aware, Pope Benedict XVI is headed to the US this week. His visit starts in Washington, DC, then moves to New York City (where he'll speak to the UN). It provides non-Catholics a wonderful opportunity to hear the Pope's words and listen to him call us all to Jesus.

In advance, he has released a video statement to Americans (you can read the text version here). I hope Christians of all stripes and persuasions will take this opportunity to listen the Pope and hear him call you home (he is the successor to St. Peter, the first pope). Here's the AP's take:




I'm guessing abortion might come up as well, and it's a great time considering the upcoming election (the AP leaves that out of the list of "controversial" subjects). You'll also be able to follow his talks here; I believe they will post a text version of each speech he gives.

Also, pray for his visit - may our ears be opened to hear the truth!


God bless,
Jay

Hello, Jay. A couple who are very close friends of mine have asked me to be their baby's godmother. I am a Christian, but not a Catholic. I was babtized as a Catholic when I was a baby and still have the certificate. What would I need to do in order to convert to Catholocism?
