Summary

This critically important volume for the renewal of Catholic faith and culture in America contains all of the Pope's compelling, ardent and engaging talks to US Bishops in his "Ad Limina Addresses" in the Fall of 1998. The Pope addresses many major critical issues facing American Catholics and, with advice and powerful insight meant for all Catholics at every level of Church life, John Paul offers crystal clear guidance for Americans to embrace this moment of great possibility. He urges us on to a new "Springtime of Evangelization" for the third millennium that America "may carry out its historical destiny among the peoples of the world".
