The Weekly Francis – Volume 160 – 24 November 2016

This version of The Weekly Francis covers material released in the last week from
5 November 2016 to 24 November 2016.

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.
