  • (5:51) what makes Pope Leo ideal for the role as the Holy Father?
  • Restlessness of saint Augustine.
  • Pope Leo’s role as a leader before being pope.
  • (19:00) Rosa - I am so blessed. I'm 85 years old. I want to say we have a man of God. He tells the truth and that's what we all need to set us free. Loving kind.

(20:32) Break 1

  • Clay - Wonderful we have an American Pope. I met Fr. Tom. I'm a convert to the faith.
  • (24:49) Sandy - I admire the fact that he made it clear that he's not a political leader, he's a religious leader seeking peace at all costs.
  • (32:32) Joseph - My experience...I'm a diesel mechanic. We had a tv in the shop at the time. Waiting for the shop. Saw smoke when it happened. Amazing thing was when he came out is that it's an American Pope. Everyone was joyous and happy. Not all of my co-workers are catholic and it was good to see this.

(38:35) Break 2

  • Pope Leo’s message of peace.
  • (45:06) Daniella - My husband and I are from Peru. We'd like to say he's a good man. We don't know him in person, but saw his mission in Peru. We're 3rd order Augustinians. Moved to California now. We lived in Lima
  • (46:31) Pope Leo at the bank shows his humility.
