Don\u2019t depend on the media\u2019s terribly chosen sound bites to know what your pope is saying. Get it straight from the horse\u2019s mouth (sort of) with the help of The Weekly Benedict.<\/p>\n

We can thank two people for The Weekly Benedict.<\/p>\n

First is Jimmy Akin<\/a>, who gathers weekly the homilies and writings of the Holy Father for our easy access. Now, Jimmy Akin offers much more than compiling Pope Benedict\u2019s writing, such as his daily liturgical posts. However, for those who want all Benedict, all the time: he has a feed for that<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Second is The Curt Jester<\/a>, a.k.a. Jeff Miller, who wasn\u2019t satisfied with just having the links gathered. God bless him, he wanted the Pope\u2019s writing in ebook form. For those of us who want to use a Kindle, etc. and not have to cut and paste and format, this is a true God-send. Yes, I speak from the heart here. I read The Curt Jester daily, but if you don\u2019t want to do that he\u2019s thoughtfully provided an archive page where you can pick up The Weekly Benedict.<\/p>\n

The Weekly Benedict ebook is a compilation of the Holy Father\u2019s writings, speeches, etc which I pull from\u00a0Jimmy Akin\u2019s blog<\/a>. Each week or so Jimmy Akin publishes a post for his \u201cThe Weekly Benedict\u201d.<\/p>\n

For those who think\u00a0Pope Benedict XVI rocks as I do, these provided ebook compilations are for those who also want to read all that he has to say in a \u00a0convenient format.<\/p>\n

This page is intended as an archive <\/a>of all the weekly volumes of The Weekly Benedict that I have published.<\/p>\n

The ebooks are available in two formats:<\/p>\n
