Pope Benedict XVI smiles at America

During the ad limina visit of bishops from Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Wyoming, Bishops James D. Conley of Denver told Pope Benedict XVI that the number of seminarians keeps going up in dioceses across America. Bishop Conley told reporters that the Pope was delighted with the news, and that it put a big smile on his face. 

During their visit, Pope Benedict addressed the intellectual and cultural challenges of the New Evangelization. He focused on Catholic schools in particular, calling on them to “reaffirm their distinctive identity” so that they may serve as a “resource for the new evangelization.”
