When I first heard that the Pope was going to be the guest of honor at the Democratic National Convention, it was a pretty big deal (we’re not exactly known for our political savvy in the southern parts of the country). I went to the Vatican and it was absolutely packed. So you can understand my excitement and enthusiasm to be there. My curiosity was, however, not quite so high.
This was my first time at the Vatican. I was actually so nervous that I waited and waited some more which is when the video came and I saw the Pope and I was just like, “This has to be him.” I have known Francis a long time now. He’s a very private person. I don’t know what he sees in me, but I’m just like, “This is the man.
Its not unusual for the Pope to come to a country to give a speech about the country he loves to the masses of people. When he does that though, he rarely does it in English, and the majority of the people in the audience are French. So when Francis chose to speak to the Vatican in French, most people in the audience were probably wondering what the hell he was talking about. But not me. I was just in awe of what I was seeing.
What I was seeing was the Pope speaking about the problems of the current government. He spent a lot of time speaking about the evils of capitalism and the evils of globalization and the evils of globalization that the current Pope was speaking about. And I was just thinking, “Holy crap, this is the Pope.
While most of the audience were probably still confused as to what the Pope was talking about, my fellow worshippers were in heaven. I was in heaven. I am in heaven. And I hope you are in heaven too.
As it turns out, the Pope was speaking about the evils of the current system and the evils of globalization. This is because Francis is the very first Pope to come from the modern church, and that’s exactly what makes him stand out in the modern church. Unlike the first two popes, who were almost always caught up in the modern church’s world of politics, Francis is a man who really knows the world he is in, and is a part of it.
Francis is a man who is a perfect example of the modern church, with his deep knowledge of the modern churchs world and his knowledge of its problems. He is a man who is a part of its problems, but he is also a part of its solution. He is a man that is able to see the problems that it faces and the solutions that it has to solve. He is a man who knows this world can be better but that he is the one who is to make it better.
The fact that Francis can see these problems and is willing to do something about them is not just because he is a great politician. It is because he has a vision that is big enough to make a difference. People who follow Francis know that he is not just happy to be part of the solution to the church’s problems, but he is also happy to be part of the solution to the problems that the church faces right now.
The pope is the only one of the five major Roman Catholic leaders who seems to speak to everyone, and his recent address to the United Nations was one of the most eloquent speeches to date.
He’s also a great actor, and his recent stand-up stuff was brilliant.
