The Weekly Francis – Volume 117 – 6 October 2015

This version of The Weekly Francis covers material released in the last week from from 5 September 2015 to 4 October 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.
