What was it like to go back in there in that role and tell them what you had to tell them . It was very freeing. The emotion came because it literally occurred to me as i sat down, this is a public apology.

2,000 years. Vice President Biden will lead the u. S. Delegation to the vatican for the formal ceremony making the popes installation. Pope francis is the first pope from the americas. Hes the first to take his papal name from st. Francis. The friar who more than 800 years ago took a vow of poverty and devoted his life to helping the poor and the sick.
