Pope Benedict has declared the start of The Year of St. Paul, with a call to unity. Cool huh?!

Read all about it here. You can also check it out here at one of my favorite great mom blogs, Danielle Bean.

And since they do a good job of explaining what this means and providing good links, I will let them do the work. Go. Read.

It’s a different way of marking time, with an eternal calendar instead of the current Hallmark edition.
