The Compendium has also started showing up in mainstream bookstores. We have four copies at the Barnes & Noble I work at.

Yes, Jimmy and I conspired, so to speak.
I mentioned to him that I wanted to send an APB to all Catholic bloggers that we should call attention back to the "Compendium" since its publication got obscured by all the attention that Catholic and non-Catholic bloggers and the media gave to "The Da Vinci Code." Jimmy told me to blog about it and he would call attention to it.
So, if you have a blog, why don't you use it to call attention back to the "Compendium"? We all have the duty to evangelize and catechize. Do your part!
One of the Spiritual Works of Mercy is "to instruct the ignorant". There are far too many Catholics out there who have far too little knowledge of the Faith.

I picked up the Compendium about a month ago, and I think it's the greatest resource for simply and clearly presenting the truths of the Catholic faith. I've even used it in preparing a couple of my reflections.

If you want to get the Compendium sooner than in a month, forget Amazon and go to your local Catholic bookstore. If they don't have it on the shelf, you'll get it within a week.

Ha! Fr. Stephanos I like the new and improved look and I purchased my copy of the C4 to combat the conspiracy.
Take care and God bless,

The NSA has receipt of Jimmy's plans and The Black Pope and his Jesuit Brigade will be quickly moving to counter any conspiracy!!!

I think the real conspiracy is between Fr. Stephanos, Jimmy Akin to get us to visit Fr. Stephanos' (new and improved I think?) blog. Oooh, a big conspiracy! And it's just about the Compendium coming out?
Maybe we should punish Jimmy by all reading Fr. Stephanos' blog tomorrow instead of his!
(or maybe the day after tommorrow. I'm hoping Jimmy has picked up on FEMA's big retreat from Camp Algiers and post something on that, in place of one of these redundant immigration things. Should've emailed him about it.)

I still need to pick up the [i]Compendium.[/i] I've been hearing great things.

Well done Fr. Stephanos. Following th L.A. Times article on the kneeling controversy, I think that there should be a prize awarded for the Catholic story with the most tenuous link to the "Da Vinci Code".

There's a great story about the Compendium over at
The Ironic Catholic Blog

Oh fer cryin' out loud! Here I am trying to get people to pull their heads out of the sand (It's just fiction!), and all you offer is the Compendium. Most of these people could care less (more's the pity!). Still, I appreciate the link to his blog.

Thanks for the heads up.
I have "The Compendium" on my shelf and is "on deck" after I finish the two books I am currently reading.
t.i.m.

At last the plot is uncovered!
