Children's book on Benedict XVI has Pope's secretary as contributor

Rome, Oct. 4, 2007 (CWNews.com) - Msgr. Georg Ganswein, the private secretary to Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news), has contributed a foreword to a new book for children about the life of the Pope.

Chico and Joseph, an Italian-language book by Jeanne Perego, uses a fictional cat as the first-person narrator to trace the life of the Pontiff. In the 44-page book, which capitalizes on the Pope's well-known affection for cats, the feline narrator recounts the life of his "best friend" from the time of his birth through his papal election.
Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
