". . . an extraordinary grasp
of the modern American spiritual terrain"
This critically important volume for the renewal
of Catholic faith and culture in America contains all of the Pope's compelling, ardent and
engaging talks to US Bishops in his "Ad Limina Addresses" in the Fall of 1998.
That America
"...may carry out its historical destiny..."
The Pope addresses many
major critical issues facing American Catholics and, with advice and powerful insight
meant for all Catholics at every level of Church life, John Paul offers crystal clear
guidance for Americans to embrace this moment of great possibility. He urges us on to a
new "Springtime of Evangelization" for the third millennium that America
"may carry out its historical destiny among the peoples of the world".
"A stunning
proposal for the Church in the U.S. ... the Pope's compelling invitation to Catholic
Americans." — Fr. Richard John Neuhaus
"John Paul II has
an extraordinary grasp of the modern American spiritual terrain. This is very fruitful
reading for everyone who is interested in enriching his faith." —
Archbishop Charles Chaput
"The tone is ardent
and engaging, and the very words convey the evangelical spirit of John Paul II." —
Fr. Avery Dulles, S.J.
"The Pope points to
the instability of a culture which sacrifices objective truth on the altar of subjective
freedom." — Cardinal Francis George |
