Teresa Tomeo - Extreme Makeover

I listen to Teresa Tomeo many mornings on her show Catholic Connection, which is produced by Ave Maria Radio and carried nationwide on EWTN radio. Teresa has written a book called Extreme Makeover: Women Transformed by Christ, Not Conformed to the Culture. Here is a video in which she talks about this new book:

George Weigel on Pope John Paul II

As you probably already know, today is All Saints Day. But you may not know that today is also the anniversary of Pope John Paul II's ordination to the priesthood.

This is also a very special day for my family, because it is the birthday of my second son, whose middle name is Karol (after Karol Wojtyla, who of course is better known as Pope John Paul II).

Therefore, in honor of Pope John Paul II, here is a talk on this great pope by his biographer George Weigel:
