Pope Benedict inaugurated the Synod on the New Evangelization on Sunday, with this homily.
Immediately before the Synod's inaugural address, the Pope declared two new doctors of the Church. In On the Culture, I summarize their lives and offer links to their major writings: New Doctors of the Church: St. Hildegard, St. John of Avila.

- In major synod address, Cardinal Wuerl rues secularism and poor catechesis, analyzes new evangelization
