As the Church celebrates the ten-year anniversary of Pope Francis' election as Pope, we speak to Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz, the former head of the US Bishops, who led the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, for the Holy Father's historic visit to the United States in 2015.
Well, of course, it's left me with a kaleidoscope of memories. Now, seven and a half years ago, our Holy Father visited the United States, and one of the things I remember most is that it was a real pilgrimage. There were so many photographs that were shared throughout the United States. That pilgrimage ended in Philadelphia with the World Meeting of Families.
The Pope's talk to Congress on the 24th of September was also especially significant. It was then that he began by saying that he, too, is a son of this great continent. And like John Paul before him, he considers, when he spoke about America, the continent, North and South America we think of, that he thinks of the Americas as one. So that was kind of touching. And he called himself the son of this great continent.
Q: Why do you think Pope Francis's simplicity, humility and his sort of down to earth way has struck a chord with many Americans?
