"Charity in truth, to which Jesus Christ bore witness by his earthly life and especially by his death and resurrection, is the principal driving force behind the authentic development of every person and of all humanity." (Pope Benedict XVI, Encyclical Letter Caritas in Veritate 29th June 2009)
Now Father, if you are going to be spending more time here in the US (good for you, by the way!) you will have to be ‘converted’ to the American Way of Spelling.
