“The Pope Speaks” is a monthly online 32 page PDF Booklet of the Pope’s weekly Catechesis, Angelus Reflections and other talks.
“The Pope Speaks” is published every four weeks (13 issues yearly).
A copy of the most recent edition is available online (click on the Photograph of Pope Francis >
The text is translated into English from ‘Osservatore Romano’ and other official Holy See publications. The main content of “The Pope Speaks” comes from Pope Francis’ Catechesis each Wednesday. Pope Francis uses the Wednesday Catechesis to summarise his understanding of Catholic Teaching in Scripture. He is now catechesising on “Prayer”. We publish all.
Each week we publish the Pope’s previous homilies for the following Sunday in the 2021 year cycle (i.e. 2015 and 2018).
We publish Pope Francis’s words as they appear in Osservatore Romano. Many of his sentences are very long. In those cases, we look at their structure (subject, verb and object). We try to be helpful to our readers by underlining or highlighting key phrases in the main topic in each paragraph.
We also publish Pope Francis Angelus Reflections and Catecheses in “The Pope Speaks” so as to know Christianity like never before. Pope Francis is the Catholic Church’s authentic teacher of Christianity. The spirituality of his words should turn us back to the faith of our fathers and mothers.
