You know, my wife is an academic.

Together we founded the Harvard Immigration Projects.

That's how they became interested in our work.

I just got a call one day from a cardinal and a bishop in the church saying, hey, Marcelo, we understand you're a scholar of immigration.

Can we come and see you?

And we were doing the largest study of its kind in our country.

And I said, of course, come.

You know, I'm nominally Catholic.

I'm Argentine, so I'm culturally Catholic.

It's just in the air as you walk about the streets of Buenos Aires with a Malbec and with a steak.

Catholicism is there.

And then one day I got an email from Pope Francis.

I thought it was a joke.

Yes.

You just get an email from Pope Francis saying you have been elected and I have appointed you a member of the council, which is kind of the executive.

Something like that.

It's .va for Vatican.

Yeah.

So the Holy Father would attend our gatherings.

Francis attended multiple times, and he comes with us.
