All about the Wednesday audience
Attending the Pope’s Wednesday general audience is often at the top of the wish list for pilgrims visiting Rome and the event has been a papal tradition for many generations. Pope Benedict is currently on holiday at his summer residence of Castel Gandolfo near Rome and consequently the Wednesday general audience has been suspended until the start of August. But during the remainder of the year, with few exceptions, the Pope holds a general audience every Wednesday morning where he greets the pilgrims present and delivers a catechesis.

Pope Benedict XVI: The Church's evangelical mission
In a sunny St Peter’s square on Sunday before the Regina Caeli, Pope Benedict took the opportunity to stress the importance of spreading the word of God. The Holy Father recalled the mission of the church over the centuries and the figures who had been leading lights in the mission of evangelisation such as Saint Charles Borromeo.
But the Pope also stressed that in our world today the vocation of the Church is evangelisation, towards the people who, as he put it, “have not yet been irrigated by the living water of the Gospel as well as those who, despite their ancient Christian roots, need new sap to bear new fruit, and rediscover the beauty and the joy of faith”.

Youcat, A Book in the Backpack. With the Pope's Autograph
It is the catechism for the very young. It will be launched at the worldwide gathering in Madrid. Benedict XVI is betting on it heavily, and recommending it. "Because it speaks to us of our own destiny," more compelling than a crime novel

Note of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith On the trivilization of sexuality
Note of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Following the publication of the interview-book Light of the World by Benedict XVI, a number of erroneous interpretations have emerged which have caused confusion concerning the position of the Catholic Church regarding certain questions of sexual morality. The thought of the Pope has been repeatedly manipulated for ends and interests which are entirely foreign to the meaning of his words – a meaning which is evident to anyone who reads the entire chapters in which human sexuality is treated. The intention of the Holy Father is clear: to rediscover the beauty of the divine gift of human sexuality and, in this way, to avoid the cheapening of sexuality which is common today...
