Yeah, you know, it's beautiful as a Catholic too.
I mean, we talk about the universal church and when you go to Rome or you see, you know, Pope Leo or Pope Francis, you know,
and going to Spain or going to all over the place, you realize it's not just our own national concerns.
And I think for Catholics, I can say that we get so focused on what's going on in our diocese or our city or our country that we forget it's a big church.

And so what's interesting was, you know, Pope Francis was not only reaching out to Palestinian Christians, but also Muslims and Jews.
And so he's very, as I think the popes have been since the 1960s, very respectful.

Where does that fit into your worldview, I would say?
It's hard to understand.
I mean, as we say, I mean, it can be seen as a cop out to say this, but it is a mystery.
