10 Things Pope Benedict wants you to know by John L Allen, Jr

Pope Benedict XVI is clearly able to present the basics of Christianity in an intelligent, provocative fashion, making clear that it is not merely a set of rules, but a resounding "yes" to the dignity of the human person and the embrace of a loving God. His top priority is to reintroduce the basics of the Christian Gospel and of Catholic tradition to the modern world, and to illustrate their coherence with the deepest truths of human existence. This booklet sets out ten of these basics for you to think about.
