From the boss

Just so we're on the same page, I checked out the translation of the Holy Father's Angelus address from yesterday (it's available in it's original Italian text and in English (and a bunch of other languages) by now.

It's pretty awe-inspiring to think that because the same texts of scripture are used every day all over the world, the reflections and thoughts presented in homilies all over this planet are also at least based on the same texts. Sometimes, they actually complement each other, and in the age of electronic communication, it's easy to compare and contrast the reflections. When they mesh, it's a pretty neat experience because it helps even the preachers to deepen our appreciation for the power of scripture's words.
