This version of The Weekly Francis covers material released in the last week from 20 November – 13 December 2014.
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.
Note: The Vatican has translated very few documents into English for the month of December.
