SAN DIEGO, March 14, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- Catholic Answers, one of the nation's largest Catholic evangelization organizations, has a staff of experts available for comment on the election of Pope Francis, or any issue related to the Catholic Church.

Many questions surround the new pope: "Will he be more progressive? How is he different than previous popes? Where does he stand on issues like abortion, contraception, homosexuality, and the ordination of women?" Catholic Answers can provide internationally known Catholic experts to answer these questions and more. In particular:

Tim Staples, director of apologetics at Catholic Answers, is a regular on the EWTN Global Catholic Radio Network and has spoken to audiences around the world. (more info at www.catholic.com/profiles/tim-staples).  

Jimmy Akin is senior apologist at Catholic Answers and is also a frequent guest on EWTN radio. He is a best-selling author of books including The Salvation Controversy, Mass Revision, and The Fathers Know Best. (More info at www.catholic.com/profiles/jimmy-akin).

Catholic Answers produces one of the most popular radio programs in the US (Catholic Answers Live), an international magazine (Catholic Answers Magazine), sends speakers across the globe, publishes books and media, and runs the website catholic.com, which is second only to the Vatican in Catholic website rankings.
