Started the day with the Catholic Professionals of Seattle Mass, breakfast, and talk. George Weigel spoke about his new book, The End and the Beginning: Pope John Paul II — The Victory of Freedom, the Last Years, the Legacy, a follow up to his first JP2 book, Witness to Hope.

He told a great story. At a meeting in Rome with the priest heading the beatification process for JP2, the priest showed him a room full of letters, all addressed to…..

Pope John Paul II
