ZENIT depends on you! Annual fund-raising campaign

This year we hope to raise US $420,000 from our English-edition readers in order to fund our growth, and to continue providing our free news service to 600,000 private readers worldwide.
As in previous years, we are confident that your generosity will support our growth.

The Pope is an amazing man and we are proud of him! He is the Mozart of theology and an extremely holy, humble and amazing example of what it is to be the servant of all. We love our Holy Father!

A response to: Papal Letter on Society of St. Pius X
And this from the man who was, as prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, was supposed to have been too rigid? Bravo, Pope Benedict, you have done a great service to the Church! [...]
But always remember, dear Pope Benedict, that you are a most public figure, and that the effect of every phrase you utter must be carefully considered before it is uttered. There are wolves outside.
God's blessings upon your great apostolate!

A response to: Papal Letter on Society of St. Pius X
I am very grateful to the Holy Father for his letter of clarification and his constant effort to build communion and reconciliation in the Church, even at the cost of misunderstanding and paying in person. May the Lord continue to strengthen him with good health and courage to be a worthy Vicar of Christ. Thank you, Holy Father.

A response to: Not-So-Young Need Christ Too
You are certainly correct. Having ministered in youth ministry (6 years) and university ministry (12 years), I was certainly aware, but was not listened to. [...]
I was at two viable, uplifting campus ministries -- and they were wonderful -- and I am seeing the results now. There are other young adult ministries that are also very viable, but it is a difficult undertaking -- but necessary.
I say spend most of this law-changing money teaching values, morals, boundaries, self-image, etc., to change hearts, which laws do not change.

A response to: Catholic Mom Takes on Social Networking
I have three teenagers, and the image used to describe the shenanigans of the rather innocent nature of teenagers and their curiosity for technology, and thoughts that everyone is O.K. if you can't see them, is right on the money. I have found that when I keep tabs on my children, just by seeing last viewed sites, I am scared for them.
I know I can't stop them from behaving in certain ways, especially the 18 year old and the 17 year old, but I hope with all my heart I planted good seeds in their developing years, and they know how to stay safe, and not hurt others, either.
Thanks for the work you put into making a safe place for the younger teens to hang out and chat online; it can go on the best list in my home along with Benedict XVI's blog site, and the Vatican's Web cast for young people. Awesome!

A response to: Our Priests, Our Heroes
Priests are a real gift to us. A good priest is worth more than all the gold in this world. May they be appreciated and not all painted with the same brush as those few who have failed us because of their sexual trysts. God bless the priests!
