[ inaudible ] that you have here, we have here in the states between conservative and progressive, i think those. [ inaudible ] may give us a misunderstanding on the pope. i think he's much more root ed in the tradition of latin american popularism, where those progressive conservative doesn't feel very well. most latin american countrieses countries have a welfare state that would be considered socialist here in the united states. but it's not -- >> right, but in that contexts, we have seen a bit of a conservative backlash in the united states with the pope, president george w. bush he is
9:43 pm
saying that pope francis' economic and political agenda has gone too far quoted as saying i was very optimistic when i was named and extremely disappointed in the political and economic aspects of his papacy. he's a victim of third world education and argentina is a particularly sad example. >> well, i am also a victim of the education in argentine arm the person saying that is person from the upper class in the united states. he himself say victim of the privileged education. and he cannot pretend that the education that he received, the opportunity that he receives where the opportunities that all the people all around the world have. so i think that that's a point. it's true the pope is influenced by his context and his context is latin american, the third world, this poverty. and in that sense the pope is addressing that kind of problem but maybe not the problems of the united states. >> right. and i want to ask you a final question. the pope also apologized in out america for how the church
9:44 pm
treated indigenous populations during the colonization of the americas. on his trip to the u.s. he's planning to canonize a mission in california. but questions have been raised how treated native americans how will the pope be able to reconcile that. >> i no, i am not familiar with the process of can canonization the process is very complicated. the people are proving and people will advocate trying to stop it. and if the process moves forward to this stage is that many things have been taking care of and i think that the most important points have been solved in that sense or there is an answer for that. i believe canonization doesn't mean the perfect was perfect it means that the person found goffed in his life and in finding god in that situation in the circumstance that he has to live, he had to live, was a kind
9:45 pm
of important things, it was an important finding of god. it doesn't mean that the person never committed a sin it doesn't mean that the person wasn't mistaken at some point wasn't doing wrongful things a at some point so an unionization means that the person was looking for god and tried to read jesus and we think that person for the process of canonization is already in they have within jesus it, doesn't mean that all the things that he has done were approved. i am not sure -- familiar with the life of ,sarah but i can imagine he made those mistakes that the pope condemned for which the pope apologized yesterday. but he has also is there were people that also pep latin americans to do and to defend their rights, you know, so i guess perhaps there are two sides to the store. >> i we'll have a very interesting visit when the pope comes to the united states in
