This Week Online: Doug Kmiec from Malta and a Report from the Gulf

Tim ReidyJune 16, 2010

This week we are happy to feature numerous online exclusives. Two are worth special mention:

Douglas W. Kmiec writes movingly about his father's death in the June 21-28 issue of America. On this week's podcast, he reflects on the pope's trip to Malta, where Kmiec serves as U.S. ambassador. Listen to our conversation.

Assistant editor Kerry Weber returned from a recent trip to New Orleans with a trove of audio and video material. Here's her first video report, on Catholic Charities's outreach to families suffering the ill effects of the BP oil spill.
