This booklet draws together homilies and addresses of Pope Benedict during his apostolic journey to the USA in 2008, including his watershed address to the Unite Nation. Throughout, Pope Benedict articulated the liberating force of the Gospel against the enslaving powers of relativism and consumerism, and pinpoints the essence of good education and the roots and cure of sexual abuse. 'The Church, for her part, wishes to contribute to building a world ever more worthy of the human person, created in the image and likeness of God'.
