The Pope's visit

The Visit of Pope Benedict XVI in the United States this week shines a big light on the Catholic church in America. While most Baptist could tell you that Catholics pay more attention to the Virgin Mary, attend confession, and have a more formal worship style than we do, I suspect many of us don't know much about the similarities and differences in our faith. Baptist Press has published a few good brief articles that will explain some of the differences. I strongly encourage you to read them. You may find them helpful in sharing your faith with Catholic friends.
