Last night, George Weigel delivered the eleventh annual Peter Richard Kenrick Lecture. His speech was entitled "01 Pope Benedict XVI and the Catholic Future: A Global View." Weigel is well-known for his many Catholic writings, especially his biographical work on Pope John Paul II, Witness to Hope. He spoke about many issues facing Pope Benedict XVI and our Church today, especially problems facing Europe (such as the rapidly declining birth rate and a lack of religious fervor), and presented ways we can work to overcome these problems.
I have posted pictures from the Kenrick Lecture on my Seminary Website. There is also an audio and video recording of the event, but I'm not sure if or when they will be released on the web...
