"John Paul II has an extraordinary grasp of the modern -- and especially the modern 'American' -- spiritual terrain. His ad limina talks make very fruitful reading for anyone interested in enriching his or her faith, and we owe a special thanks to the Legionaries for bringing these texts to the general public." -- Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Denver
"These thirteen talks of the Pope to the United States bishops in 1998 admirably highlight the priorities of the present pontificate as they apply to the Catholic Church in the American cultural context. The tone is ardent and engaging; the message is crystal clear, and the very words convey the evangelical spirit of Pope John Paul II. All in all, the right diagnosis, the right perscription, and the fare we need." -- Rev. Avery Dulles, S.J.
