PR for People Monthly SEPTEMBER 2015 | Page 4

Dear Friends, Colleagues and Clients:

In this issue of The Connector, we probe the meaning of life and what we believe in through the lens of God and religion – or “god” and the spiritual realm, or god and nothingness, as the case may be.

Examining religion in the face of Pope Francis’s excursion to America also invites scrutiny of that Pope’s true mission.

He is the most oft-quoted pope in recent history. How many Holy Sees have graced the covers of Time magazine, Rolling Stone and National Geographic?

Pope Francis is the media darling of top-tier media. How Pope Francis came to be so newsworthy is not merely serendipitous but requires a multi-million-dollar budget that pays for a highly skilled and aggressive PR machine. After all, no one does PR as well as the Roman Catholic Church.
