In our Christmas double issue, Luke Coppen meets Bishop Mark Davies; Mary O'Regan speaks to Archbishop Gerhard Müller, prefect of the CDF; and Gabrielle Donnelly talks about Catholicism and kindness with the actor Liam Neeson. Meanwhile, in an extract from his book, Pope Benedict XVI explores the rich meaning of the stable; Fr James Martin SJ reflects on Joseph; Tim Stanley writes about the radical message of Christmas; Stuart Reid praises Dorothy Day; and Freddy Gray urges Catholics not to be stingy on presents.
