In case you missed it, Benedict gave an AWESOME talk to the U.S. College of Bishops this evening. To see a good summation of the key points of the speech, click here. Our own Vann Johnston (formerly of DoK, now Bishop of Springfield-Cape Girardeau) was featured presenting one of three questions directed to the Holy Father.Hopefully you were able to catch the official welcoming ceremony at the White House. It was truly very inspiring, very American. Again, awesome speeches. Click here for more. Click here for a slide show. Fourth Degree was well-represented, it appeared.
"The preservation of freedom calls for the cultivation of virtue, self-discipline, sacrifice for the common good and a sense of responsibility toward the less fortunate. It also demands the courage to engage in civic life and to bring one’s deepest beliefs and values to reasoned public debate. In a word, freedom is ever new. It is a challenge held out to each generation, and it must constantly be won over for the cause of good." --Benedict XVI
