3
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:24.479
<v Speaker 2>The Catholic Church, dear listener, has a new leader. His

4
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.760
<v Speaker 2>name is Pope Leo the fourteenth, and yes he speaks Spanish.

5
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Donte un pueblo fell campagnado, aspo a compartidoe yadado, tanto

<v Speaker 1>tanto segir siendo Igleafel Cristo.

7
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Papaleon is the first ever pope from the United States.

8
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.080
<v Speaker 2>So when he addressed the massive crowd in Vatican City

9
00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:56.160
<v Speaker 2>a few days ago, he spoke in Italian, as all

10
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.160
<v Speaker 2>popes do, but unlike most of them, he all so

11
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:08.440
<v Speaker 2>spoke in Espanol. From fludro media and pr X, it's

12
00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Latino Usa, I'm Mariano Rosa. Today the unexpected pick of

13
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 2>an American pope.

14
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:28.280
<v Speaker 3>Becose.

15
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.600
<v Speaker 4>It is certainly it looks like white smoke.

16
00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:33.800
<v Speaker 2>That means there is a cardinal who.

17
00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 5>Is now a pope, A Sir Gaudi Manu ma'am our

18
00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 5>babu spa ma'am.

19
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.200
<v Speaker 2>On May eighth, in Vatican City, the second pope from

20
00:01:53.240 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>the Americas emerged on the balcony at Saint Peter's Basilica and.

21
00:01:57.800 --> 00:02:01.720
<v Speaker 6>Where history has been made. Today with the election of

22
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 6>sixty nine year old Robert Francis Prevost born in Chicago,

23
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.760
<v Speaker 6>he has chosen the papal name Leo the fourteenth.

24
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.600
<v Speaker 2>The new pope wore a gold cross around his neck

25
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 2>and a burgundy stole over his shoulders, keeping with the

26
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>church traditions.

27
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.079
<v Speaker 1>Bat jsia ponto tivoy.

28
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Peace be with you all were his first words as

29
00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:28.360
<v Speaker 2>the new leader of the more than one billion Catholics

30
00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:29.440
<v Speaker 2>around the globe.

31
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Telly sore le carrissimi quest so el primo, saluto del

32
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>cristo resorto.

33
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo the fourteenth is from Chicago,

34
00:02:44.320 --> 00:02:49.760
<v Speaker 2>my hometown where, well, understatement, people are pretty thrilled.

35
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 7>David, I can almost feel the vibration of Catholics in

36
00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 7>Chicago's celebrating this moment right now, two point one million

37
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.840
<v Speaker 7>Catholics in the Chicago area, many of whom speak Spanish

38
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:01.280
<v Speaker 7>and English.

39
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.160
<v Speaker 8>It just makes me proud of you in Chicago and

40
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Speaker 8>makes me proud you have the first American Bob.

41
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:22.040
<v Speaker 9>It's Tom fer.

42
00:03:18.040 --> 00:03:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Territorial quiabla de supropia.

43
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.160
<v Speaker 9>Achos no solo.

44
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.640
<v Speaker 2>I immediately posted on social media Southsider or North Sider,

45
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:33.919
<v Speaker 2>Cubs or socks, deep dish or thin crust, Portillo's hot

46
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 2>dogs or burgers, Mexican Spanish or Peruvian Spanish. These are

47
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 2>the burning questions that my fellow Chicagoans want to know

48
00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:44.320
<v Speaker 2>about the new pope. And it turns out that the

49
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>new pope is a Sox fan. His brother John Prevost

50
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:48.880
<v Speaker 2>confirmed it.

51
00:03:48.920 --> 00:03:50.920
<v Speaker 3>He was never ever a Cubs fan, so I don't

52
00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:53.400
<v Speaker 3>know where that came from. He was always a Sox fan,

53
00:03:53.920 --> 00:03:56.320
<v Speaker 3>so I don't know where that all came from.

54
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.040
<v Speaker 2>We don't know what Pope Leo's ring is going to

55
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>look like, but we can lean clues from what we

56
00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:05.480
<v Speaker 2>know of his past, like his criticism of President Trump's

57
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:10.320
<v Speaker 2>policies on immigration and most recently, of Vice President JD. Vance.

58
00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 6>On his social media account, he reposted criticism of JD

59
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 6>Vance's interpretation of the Gospel. He also retweeted a post

60
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.919
<v Speaker 6>of an op ed that was critical of Donald Trump's

61
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.960
<v Speaker 6>deportation policies, an op ed that read, in part quote,

62
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.200
<v Speaker 6>is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay quiet?

63
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.080
<v Speaker 2>After the Pope's appointment. His brother gave more hints in

64
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:34.760
<v Speaker 2>an interview with Unibishun.

65
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.560
<v Speaker 3>I kind of think you will see a continuation of

66
00:04:38.640 --> 00:04:45.400
<v Speaker 3>Pope Francis. I think he's concerned with people, with their souls,

67
00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:52.839
<v Speaker 3>with their spirituality. You'll see looking for help for the poor,

68
00:04:53.400 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 3>the downtrodden, the ones who are kind of ignored in life.

69
00:04:57.400 --> 00:04:59.880
<v Speaker 3>He spent so much time in the missions in Peru,

70
00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:02.280
<v Speaker 3>and I think that's where his heart is.

71
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:08.479
<v Speaker 2>Robert Francis Prevost spent decades serving in Peru, and well,

72
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you know this, but Peruvians rep

73
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:16.159
<v Speaker 2>all things Peru pretty hard. So in Peru and here

74
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.599
<v Speaker 2>in the US, they are celebrating papalon as one of

75
00:05:19.640 --> 00:05:23.919
<v Speaker 2>their own. And honestly, he kind of is. Because the

76
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.520
<v Speaker 2>new Pope has Peruvian citizenship.

77
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.760
<v Speaker 8>You begin to google him, who is he, Where was

78
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:33.400
<v Speaker 8>this church? How long are he being there? And you know, like,

79
00:05:33.760 --> 00:05:38.440
<v Speaker 8>the new Pope is Peruvian. And even though I'm not Catholic,

80
00:05:38.760 --> 00:05:40.640
<v Speaker 8>it is a little bit of sense of pride that

81
00:05:41.080 --> 00:05:43.040
<v Speaker 8>the Catholic Church is being led by someone to go

82
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:43.760
<v Speaker 8>to my rooms.

83
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Peruvians shared their thoughts of immense pride to see someone

84
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:52.200
<v Speaker 2>recognize their country and Latin America on a global stage.

85
00:05:52.320 --> 00:06:09.120
<v Speaker 10>Ca yemo parans and no sunne infe in recortan American

86
00:06:09.440 --> 00:06:15.120
<v Speaker 10>munduandi Peru.

87
00:06:15.400 --> 00:06:19.400
<v Speaker 2>And then there was that moment where, honestly my jaw

88
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.360
<v Speaker 2>dropped when the new Pope standing at the Vatican mentioned Chiclayo,

89
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.360
<v Speaker 2>a city in northern Peru where he served as.

90
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:45.880
<v Speaker 11>Bishop represent Us and Peruano Lao Bargieno Lanco Marina.

91
00:06:47.080 --> 00:06:49.440
<v Speaker 2>And then, of course there's the fact that the new

92
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Pope is a Spanish speaker, as we heard at the

93
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.360
<v Speaker 2>top of the show, something that is not lost across

94
00:06:55.440 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Latin America.

95
00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:01.200
<v Speaker 9>It was very important for me to see a pope

96
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.960
<v Speaker 9>who is American, who was born in Chicago address his

97
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:12.520
<v Speaker 9>followers in the world in Spanish and thanking Peru. So

98
00:07:13.080 --> 00:07:16.760
<v Speaker 9>I think that he sends a very strong message not

99
00:07:16.880 --> 00:07:21.280
<v Speaker 9>speaking English but chose to speak Spanish on his first attress.

100
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.960
<v Speaker 2>In his first speech, he decided to forego his native

101
00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:28.200
<v Speaker 2>English and speak in Italian and Spanish.

102
00:07:28.640 --> 00:07:31.680
<v Speaker 4>Only there's like a micro significance and a macro significance.

103
00:07:31.760 --> 00:07:34.400
<v Speaker 4>Like the micro one is that he is very he

104
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.360
<v Speaker 4>loves Peru very much. But I think on a larger

105
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:42.400
<v Speaker 4>scale it's a sign of the reality of Roman Catholicism

106
00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:43.280
<v Speaker 4>in the United States.

107
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:48.240
<v Speaker 2>That's feminist theologian Natalia Imparatory Lee. We had her on

108
00:07:48.320 --> 00:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>our show just a week ago to talk about the

109
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.440
<v Speaker 2>impact and legacy as well as the shortcomings of the

110
00:07:54.520 --> 00:08:00.080
<v Speaker 2>former Pope, Papa Francisco of Argentina. Our managing editor Fernanda

111
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.200
<v Speaker 2>spoke to her then, and then the two of them

112
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:06.400
<v Speaker 2>spoke again right after the news about the new pope broke.

113
00:08:06.760 --> 00:08:08.880
<v Speaker 2>They're going to break it all down for us after

114
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:26.560
<v Speaker 2>the break, so stay with us. Not by yes, hey,

115
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 2>we're back. Here's the conversation between Latino USA managing editor

116
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Fernanda Echavarri and Natalia Imparatory Lee, feminist theologian and author

117
00:08:37.640 --> 00:08:39.680
<v Speaker 2>of Women and the Church.

118
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:45.280
<v Speaker 12>So hello again. I did not think I was going

119
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.160
<v Speaker 12>to be speaking to you this soon.

120
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.640
<v Speaker 4>Crazy right, What a crazy week.

121
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.720
<v Speaker 12>You and I spoke when Pope Francis passed, and now

122
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.640
<v Speaker 12>here we are because we did not expect to have

123
00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:02.079
<v Speaker 12>an American and when we say American, it's not just

124
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.200
<v Speaker 12>from the US, but from the American continent, including Latin America.

125
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.319
<v Speaker 12>And when we spoke last time, at no point did

126
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.440
<v Speaker 12>you even joke like it would be wild if it

127
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 12>was somebody from the US, like that is how wild

128
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.240
<v Speaker 12>this card is.

129
00:09:15.800 --> 00:09:19.120
<v Speaker 4>That's exactly right because he's an American, he's from the

130
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:23.680
<v Speaker 4>United States. But also he's not totally He's definitely not

131
00:09:23.800 --> 00:09:26.960
<v Speaker 4>part of that kind of powerful US hierarchy that you

132
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.320
<v Speaker 4>hear about. He's part of the Peruvian hierarchy. So there's

133
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:31.880
<v Speaker 4>a lot of Peru going on with this.

134
00:09:31.800 --> 00:09:34.080
<v Speaker 12>Pope, a lot of Peru going on. We already saw

135
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.600
<v Speaker 12>the memes in there, like just a chef's kiss. But first,

136
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.240
<v Speaker 12>you and I are speaking just hours after the news broke,

137
00:09:40.400 --> 00:09:42.800
<v Speaker 12>So what were your immediate reactions.

138
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.520
<v Speaker 4>I was in my office meeting with a student and

139
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 4>creating final papers, and I had the chimney on because

140
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.040
<v Speaker 4>obviously you keep it on just in case, and all

141
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:53.760
<v Speaker 4>of a sudden there was white smoke, and I completely

142
00:09:53.800 --> 00:09:56.280
<v Speaker 4>freaked out. And then we heard it was an American,

143
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.720
<v Speaker 4>and then I freaked out parentheses derodatory. And then I

144
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.239
<v Speaker 4>heard who it was, and then I freaked out parentheses

145
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:07.319
<v Speaker 4>cautiously optimistic. So when they said it was an American,

146
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.320
<v Speaker 4>that was a huge surprise. When you think of the

147
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:15.439
<v Speaker 4>American bishops, cardinals who are potential popes. You know, many

148
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:17.240
<v Speaker 4>of them are very closely aligned with the government, and

149
00:10:17.280 --> 00:10:20.120
<v Speaker 4>it was a little bit scary. But this guy is

150
00:10:20.400 --> 00:10:21.760
<v Speaker 4>definitely an outsider.

151
00:10:22.520 --> 00:10:24.760
<v Speaker 12>I know, We've said it, and I keep seeing it also,

152
00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:27.760
<v Speaker 12>like this is historic, this is unexpected. Some of the

153
00:10:27.800 --> 00:10:30.319
<v Speaker 12>life coverage was like my jaw is on the ground,

154
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.520
<v Speaker 12>like I can't believe this. And when I emailed you,

155
00:10:32.520 --> 00:10:35.080
<v Speaker 12>you responded in all caps like that you were shocked, right.

156
00:10:35.160 --> 00:10:39.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, nobody expected two popes from the American continent. Two

157
00:10:39.760 --> 00:10:45.040
<v Speaker 4>popes from the America's back to back signals a kind

158
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:50.040
<v Speaker 4>of shift from a primarily European, culturally European church to

159
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.280
<v Speaker 4>a far more global reality. It's a good sign for

160
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:56.600
<v Speaker 4>the church in America broadly understood, and it's a good

161
00:10:56.640 --> 00:10:59.760
<v Speaker 4>sign for the global church as well, because he is

162
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:05.320
<v Speaker 4>reiterating this idea that America is Alaska to Tierra del Fuego,

163
00:11:05.880 --> 00:11:08.440
<v Speaker 4>all of that is America, and this pope is also

164
00:11:08.640 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 4>that kind of an American. So, yes, he was born

165
00:11:11.280 --> 00:11:14.920
<v Speaker 4>in Chicago, but he lived and served in Peru. He

166
00:11:15.040 --> 00:11:18.440
<v Speaker 4>is a Peruvian bishop, He's a naturalized citizen of Peru.

167
00:11:19.880 --> 00:11:23.360
<v Speaker 4>Sola Papa are both Peruvian.

168
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:30.640
<v Speaker 12>El Papa and so Before we get more into who

169
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.360
<v Speaker 12>will be Pope Leo the fourteenth, let's begin with who

170
00:11:33.520 --> 00:11:36.679
<v Speaker 12>was Cardinal Robert Privost? What can you tell us about him?

171
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:40.480
<v Speaker 4>Cardinal Provost was a man who was working in the Vatican.

172
00:11:40.920 --> 00:11:44.160
<v Speaker 4>Pope Francis brought him to the Vatican to be the

173
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:48.480
<v Speaker 4>man who advised him on who to name as a bishop.

174
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 4>He is an Augustinian priest, so he's a religious order priest.

175
00:11:53.160 --> 00:11:56.000
<v Speaker 4>The Augustinians are a missionary order. They have a lot

176
00:11:56.040 --> 00:11:58.960
<v Speaker 4>of presence in Latin America and in other mission territories.

177
00:11:59.040 --> 00:12:02.400
<v Speaker 4>So he served in U, and he served with a

178
00:12:02.520 --> 00:12:06.240
<v Speaker 4>very poor, very marginalized population, and that really shaped his

179
00:12:06.800 --> 00:12:11.080
<v Speaker 4>ministry and his understanding of the priesthood. He eventually became

180
00:12:11.160 --> 00:12:13.720
<v Speaker 4>a bishop in Peru, and to do that you have

181
00:12:13.800 --> 00:12:17.400
<v Speaker 4>to be a Peruvian citizen, which is an important sort

182
00:12:17.400 --> 00:12:23.400
<v Speaker 4>of concession in a very colonizing church, to say, instead

183
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:27.319
<v Speaker 4>of bishops from other countries, you have to be from here.

184
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:29.880
<v Speaker 4>You have to be a citizen of here to be

185
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:32.320
<v Speaker 4>a bishop. And so he's a bishop who was born

186
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:36.400
<v Speaker 4>in the US, but he is a bishop of Peru.

187
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:39.319
<v Speaker 12>That speaks so much of what in this show we

188
00:12:39.400 --> 00:12:42.880
<v Speaker 12>talk about all the time is where you belong, where

189
00:12:42.920 --> 00:12:45.480
<v Speaker 12>you are from, what is home? What is your language?

190
00:12:45.520 --> 00:12:48.160
<v Speaker 12>What is your citizenship? Some of that stuff on paper

191
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.520
<v Speaker 12>can be one thing, but in reality, like it's so

192
00:12:50.760 --> 00:12:54.000
<v Speaker 12>much more complex, isn't it so much more complex?

193
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.480
<v Speaker 4>What it means to be hen tepuente, what it means

194
00:12:56.520 --> 00:12:58.480
<v Speaker 4>to be Latino? What does that even look like? If

195
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:00.840
<v Speaker 4>you've got one foot over there and on foot over here,

196
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.559
<v Speaker 4>or your heart over there, but your body is here.

197
00:13:03.920 --> 00:13:06.800
<v Speaker 4>And he, I think, is showing us that from the

198
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:10.559
<v Speaker 4>US side. Right, here's a Chicago kid, but he has

199
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.840
<v Speaker 4>Peruvian citizenship because that was the church that he was

200
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.600
<v Speaker 4>sent to and that he wanted to minister to and

201
00:13:16.640 --> 00:13:18.120
<v Speaker 4>that he fell in love with.

202
00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:22.640
<v Speaker 12>In Chicago, folks are claiming him as one of their own,

203
00:13:22.880 --> 00:13:26.480
<v Speaker 12>like he's from here. And then you have people in

204
00:13:26.640 --> 00:13:28.880
<v Speaker 12>New Orleans now who are also saying, you know, his

205
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:32.640
<v Speaker 12>parents had roots here, so they're also finding connections to him.

206
00:13:32.760 --> 00:13:35.800
<v Speaker 12>And of course you have the Peruvian connection, which has

207
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:40.600
<v Speaker 12>gotten a big response already. We have some voicemails from

208
00:13:40.640 --> 00:13:42.720
<v Speaker 12>folks who called in and told us their thoughts.

213
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.560
<v Speaker 12>As we know, every pope chooses a name to go by.

214
00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:30.720
<v Speaker 12>What can you tell me about the choosing of his name.

215
00:14:30.800 --> 00:14:34.640
<v Speaker 4>Yes, so he chose Leo as his name, and Leo

216
00:14:34.760 --> 00:14:39.760
<v Speaker 4>the thirteenth is Leon. Really he's a lion of Catholic

217
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:44.840
<v Speaker 4>social teaching. He basically ushered in the Catholic social doctrine

218
00:14:45.040 --> 00:14:48.160
<v Speaker 4>that we understand today. So the idea of the dignity

219
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.120
<v Speaker 4>of every human being, the idea of the dignity of work,

220
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.400
<v Speaker 4>all of those things were ushered in by Leo the thirteenth.

221
00:14:54.680 --> 00:14:57.119
<v Speaker 4>And one of the things that that Leo, his predecessor

222
00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 4>Leo was addressing was the industrial revolution. So at a

223
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:04.880
<v Speaker 4>time when the industrial revolution is really transforming the world

224
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.360
<v Speaker 4>and transforming people's lives to the detriment in many ways,

225
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.240
<v Speaker 4>Leo thirteenth was a strong voice for workers' rights, for

226
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.560
<v Speaker 4>labor organizing, and for dignified work for people. And it's

227
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.640
<v Speaker 4>a I think an important sign that this Leo, this

228
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 4>American Leo, is taking that name, indicating to me at

229
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:31.400
<v Speaker 4>least that he wants to continue that strong voice for

230
00:15:31.560 --> 00:15:32.400
<v Speaker 4>social justice.

231
00:15:33.040 --> 00:15:36.080
<v Speaker 12>So here we are with somebody who was chosen to

232
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.800
<v Speaker 12>follow in the footsteps of Pope Francis, who was much

233
00:15:38.880 --> 00:15:41.600
<v Speaker 12>more progressive and sort of to the left of where

234
00:15:41.640 --> 00:15:45.200
<v Speaker 12>the church had been. However, my understanding from what I'm

235
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:49.360
<v Speaker 12>reading is that he is more moderate than Pope France's. Right,

236
00:15:49.520 --> 00:15:52.240
<v Speaker 12>So what can we expect from him now that he's

237
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.520
<v Speaker 12>been chosen to leave the Catholic Church and it's one

238
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:56.000
<v Speaker 12>point four billion followers.

239
00:15:56.400 --> 00:15:58.520
<v Speaker 4>Well, the truth is, we have no idea, and anyone

240
00:15:58.560 --> 00:16:00.600
<v Speaker 4>who tells you that they know what kind of pope

241
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:02.640
<v Speaker 4>he's going to be is not telling you the truth

242
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.200
<v Speaker 4>because we don't know. It changes a man, I think,

243
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.480
<v Speaker 4>to become the pope. And maybe he is more moderate.

244
00:16:08.880 --> 00:16:11.120
<v Speaker 4>He has a different personality. I think you could tell

245
00:16:11.160 --> 00:16:14.440
<v Speaker 4>that almost immediately from his appearance on the balcony. Right,

246
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:18.400
<v Speaker 4>he seems more introverted than Fancisco was, And that's okay,

247
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.400
<v Speaker 4>But he echoed a lot about Pope Francis in his

248
00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:25.080
<v Speaker 4>remarks from the balcony, So I don't think that it's

249
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.880
<v Speaker 4>going to be like a radical change. I just think

250
00:16:27.880 --> 00:16:30.200
<v Speaker 4>we're going to get a lot of the same priorities,

251
00:16:30.280 --> 00:16:31.280
<v Speaker 4>but in a different style.

252
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:35.440
<v Speaker 12>But there is not necessarily the warmest welcome, perhaps by

253
00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:38.680
<v Speaker 12>some in the LGBTQ community, because before he was Popolo

254
00:16:38.920 --> 00:16:42.080
<v Speaker 12>hadn't been as supportive as Pope Francis. Is that is

255
00:16:42.160 --> 00:16:42.640
<v Speaker 12>that right.

256
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:46.000
<v Speaker 4>The remarks that people are talking about were from twenty twelve.

257
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:48.840
<v Speaker 15>Twenty twelve, the now Holy Father spoke about how the

258
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.760
<v Speaker 15>Western news media has fostered sympathy for beliefs on odds

259
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:56.960
<v Speaker 15>with the Gospel, including the quote homosexual lifestyle and quote

260
00:16:57.280 --> 00:17:01.800
<v Speaker 15>alternative families comprised of same sex parts and their adopted children.

261
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.720
<v Speaker 15>He has, though in the past, supported to Pope Francis's

262
00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:07.879
<v Speaker 15>general aim to make the church more inclusive.

263
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.240
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot that we don't know about his personal views,

264
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.879
<v Speaker 4>especially LGBTQ issues. But I feel like the change that

265
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.040
<v Speaker 4>we're starting to see in the church is that that

266
00:17:18.320 --> 00:17:22.600
<v Speaker 4>pastoral instinct, the instinct to minister to real people instead

267
00:17:22.600 --> 00:17:28.040
<v Speaker 4>of dealing in these doctrinal, abstract things, will start to

268
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:32.960
<v Speaker 4>sort of change the way that the church speaks about

269
00:17:33.280 --> 00:17:36.760
<v Speaker 4>the LGBTQ community. By centering the fact that these are

270
00:17:36.840 --> 00:17:39.720
<v Speaker 4>human beings with dignity first, and I think that for

271
00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:43.840
<v Speaker 4>a lot of gay Catholics and lesbian Catholics and transgender Catholics,

272
00:17:44.280 --> 00:17:46.920
<v Speaker 4>that is a really welcome change that they would like

273
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:48.920
<v Speaker 4>to hear from every pope from now on.

274
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:51.359
<v Speaker 12>And also one of the things that I heard was

275
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:56.560
<v Speaker 12>that he also wasn't us forward in responding to the

276
00:17:56.800 --> 00:17:59.680
<v Speaker 12>child sexual abuse pattern in the Catholic Church. So what

277
00:17:59.840 --> 00:18:00.680
<v Speaker 12>can you tell me about that?

278
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:04.400
<v Speaker 4>On the sex abuse stuff? The reports that I've seen

279
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:08.879
<v Speaker 4>were that he was in line with Vatican directives. That

280
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:11.720
<v Speaker 4>can be good or it can be bad. A lot

281
00:18:11.760 --> 00:18:13.760
<v Speaker 4>of us feel like the Vatican didn't go far enough

282
00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:17.880
<v Speaker 4>until Francis, and so maybe he didn't go far enough.

283
00:18:18.040 --> 00:18:22.440
<v Speaker 4>That's entirely possible. But I don't want us to make

284
00:18:22.520 --> 00:18:24.879
<v Speaker 4>a judgment about the kind of pope this guy is

285
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:29.720
<v Speaker 4>going to be in the first five hours of his papacy,

286
00:18:29.760 --> 00:18:31.600
<v Speaker 4>because we genuinely don't know.

287
00:18:34.040 --> 00:18:37.760
<v Speaker 12>So he's representing the United States. What's the larger significance

288
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:38.119
<v Speaker 12>of this.

289
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:46.240
<v Speaker 4>I think that the presence of the American political climate

290
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:49.600
<v Speaker 4>and the sort of turmoil that that's causing on the

291
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:54.399
<v Speaker 4>global stage. I do think that the election of Pope

292
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.840
<v Speaker 4>Leo the fourteenth is a bit of a response to that.

293
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:01.520
<v Speaker 4>I think that they chose an American that would show

294
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:05.440
<v Speaker 4>a very different kind of Catholicism from the Catholicism that

295
00:19:05.520 --> 00:19:09.359
<v Speaker 4>you see on American media and in American politics a lot.

296
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:13.200
<v Speaker 12>And a very different American that was elected to a

297
00:19:13.320 --> 00:19:17.399
<v Speaker 12>very high position than an American that was elected November.

298
00:19:17.080 --> 00:19:17.680
<v Speaker 3>Of last year.

299
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:20.680
<v Speaker 4>That is correct. I mean, it's like five tweets and

300
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:25.000
<v Speaker 4>they're all anti the administration, and his tweets are causing
