| Dear Father;
|    I just watched at weekly Catholic News program on EWTN (Mother
| Angelica's Catholic Cable Network), the news program is called
| Focus, with Arch Bishop Hannan.  They were discussing The Holy Father,
| Pope John Paul II's recent talk on Popular Religiousity.  I had never
| heard of that term before.  Can you enlighten me.  What exactly is
| "Popular Religiousity"?  I believe The Holy Father recently spoke publicly
| about it.  Thank you.  Yours In Christ Jesus.

Dear John,
 
An hour in the library this afternoon looking up "popular religiosity"
was completely unproductive.  Neither recent issues of "The Pope Speaks"
nor the most recent issue of the Catholic Periodical Index had anything
on the subject except one article in Spanish in a periodical our library
doesn't have.  I'm really sorry.  Perhaps you could call or write to the
Catholic Cable Network.  Find a magazine or newspaper reference and I'll
be glad to read the article and get back to you.
 
                                Sincerely in Christ,
 
                                Father Mateo
