to those who felt excluded to say, you know what? welcome home. i think so. i think the pope is pretty clear for two years he doesn t want the church to be a small chapel for the few but a big tent for the many and i think that s why so many of us that have kind of lived on the margins of the church feel welcomed back in even though even though he s what he said has helped as much as it s hurt in some in some katss. all right. looking at live images so everybody knows on the left that the camera is spinning around kate. i want to point out to everybody we re waiting to show everybody. live pictures of joint base andrews where the pope will arrive at 4:00 p.m. kate, a lot of people say that the pope is not as liberal as a lot of people might think that he is. how do you view the pope? you know, this guy this pope is kind of a guy who defies
