This book reveals how through a discourse of truth-telling―calling things by their proper name―Pope John Paul II effectively exposed the corruption of language and thought fueling a death culture that is becoming increasingly embedded in medicine, human experimentation, commerce, law, and ideology. This is an indispensable guide to Pope John Paul's profound and practical insights, meditations, principles, and actions to protect society's most defenseless individuals.
