Here is my review of the book The Pope and I at Our Sunday Visitor. It’s an account of lifelong friendship with Karol Wojtyla, better known as Pope John Paul II, and Jerzy Kluger, a Polish Jewish engineer who, even when he’s influencing international policy and Church and state relations, can’t stop talking about food.

I get a small percentage of sales through Amazon if you click through from my blog. Unless maybe you want the little Fishers to have to have another Imagination Christmas this year. Heh. No, but really, I know it’s an inconvenience, so I appreciate it when people use my links! Thank you.
Oh, and Brandon Vogt is on the job with the social media meme! Love it.

Here in Cleveland, our local Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage is hosting an exhibit an exhibit about the Blessed John Paul II. So the appearance of this book at this time has a greater than merely coincidental quality about it, the kind of more than merely coincidental quality that impels to make purchases that it would be difficult to justify otherwise. When people raise an eyebrow at the mention of a Jewish museum hosting an exhibit about a pope, I tell them: “But he was a mensch of goy!” Oh, I must stop before I embarrass myself further.
