Note: There is still a large backlog of material not yet translated into English. After auditing material released during the last year I found several items that I had missed or had been published later.
This version of The Weekly Francis covers material released in the last week from 21 March 2014 – 6 January 2015.
The Weekly Francis is a compilation of the Holy Father’s writings, speeches, etc which I also post at Jimmy Akin’s The Weekly Francis. Jimmy Akin came up with this idea when he started “The Weekly Benedict” and I have taken over curation of it.
