U.S. Bishops' Facebook Contest Runs Oct. 11-15; Questions Will Be on Pope Benedict's Teachings

Facebook users who view the profile page of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) will get a chance to show off what they know about Pope Benedict XVI and win a prize.

The USCCB is sponsoring "Pope Culture Week on Facebook," starting next Monday, October 11, and running through Friday, October 15, according to the Zenit website.

Each day, there will be a question about the life and teachings of the Pope. The first to provide the correct answer as a comment will receive a free copy of the book titled "Benedict XVI: Essays and Reflections on His Papacy."

Mercy Sister Mary Ann Walsh, director of media relations for the USCCB and editor of the book, reflected: "We think this is a great opportunity to engage our Facebook fans while promoting literacy about the Pope by asking questions about his life."
