the lord jesus chose the apostles. jesus was a revolutionary in one sense and that he was not bound by convention. he certainly could have chosen women to be his apostles and he did not. those apostles within the catholic tradition are what we see as the forbearers of the priesthood. so the church has kept that as a male institution. however, just as the lord brought in women, and they were his followers, women have done a tremendous job within the church. where would the church be without the women and sisters who have run hospitals, who had run schools? what pope francis is doing is that that is wonderful. we want to bring women in other areas, those consultative areas, and the places where we need women's judgment and experience to figure out how to address these practical problems. it really is not the case that the catholic church is not following in jesus's footsteps. it is following closely in what jesus did. host: if you want to check out mary rice hasson's work it is epp c.org. give us a call for the next 20 m

(laughter) the papacy itself got its start 2,000 years ago when jesus told his apostle who was then called simon, quote, simon bar jonah, thoughu art pet are and upon this rock i will build my church, and that is how the apostle simon became peter "the rock" have son. because peter was hired by jesus himself. each of his successors has a direct link to god. it's one of the pain benefits to being a pope along with comprehensive dental and infallibility which is only when the pope is speaking ex cathedra or from the seat of st. peter, but if are you just hanging out casually and the pope says the godfather iii is a worthy conclusion to the triology, feel free to call bull. and while this pope seems like a pretty solid dude, the popes of the past have been a bit of a mixed bag. there were the three popes of avignon, the borgias who loved their orgies, the pitt call female pope joan and the brief but hilarious reign of pope ralph. skipping ahead, skipping ahead to the -- century one of the most transform difficult popes was pope john 23 shown here in the with the cape with da fur. john the 23r

matthew the apostle in anticipation of the pope's visit tomorrow. >>> we are counting down to pope francis' arrival and the major traffic it will cause today. the pope will arrive at joint base andrews at about 4:00 in the afternoon. then it is an 18-mile trip into northwest d.c. to the vatican embassy right off massachusetts avenue northwest. so let's start with what you need to avoid around joint base andrews, pretty much that's going to be just about everything around joint base andrews, branch avenue is going to be off limits, the case for you right now as it is close to the base. same thing goes for suitland parkway, avoid that. pennsylvania avenue will be a route you want to avoid coming into the city. it is not clear what impact this could have on the beltway, you might expect there will be some and the experts suggest that you try to stay away from that as much as you can as well. in d.c., you'll want to stay off of massachusetts avenue, let's see, there we go. magically appears for you. stay off of massachusetts avenue -- not quite. there we go. and right around the vatican embass

after the death and resurrection of christ, the apostles traveled far and wide to spread the christian message. supposedly, st. james went on a missionary trip from the holy land all the way to this remote corner of northwest spain. according to legend, in the year 813, st. james' remains were discovered in the town that would soon bear his name. people began walking there to pay homage to his relics. after a 12th-century pope decreed that the pilgrimage could earn forgiveness for your sins, the popularity of the camino de santiago soared. the camino also served a political purpose. it's no coincidence that the discovery of st. james' remains happened when muslim moors controlled most of spain. the whole phenomenon of the camino helped fuel the european passion to retake spain and push the moors back into africa. but by about 1500, with the dawn of the renaissance and the reformation, interest in the camino died almost completely. then, in the 1960s, a handful of priests re-established the tradition. the route has since enjoyed a huge resurgence, with 100,000 pilgrims trekking the sant

the lord jesus chose the apostles.as a revolutionary in one sense and that he was not bound by convention. he certainly could have chosen women to be his apostles and he did not. those apostles within the catholic tradition are what we see as the forbearers of the priesthood. so the church has kept that as a male institution. however, just as the lord brought in women, and they were his followers, women have done a tremendous job within the church. where would the church be without the women and sisters who have run hospitals, who had run schools? what pope francis is doing is that that is wonderful. we want to bring women in other areas, those consultative areas, and the places where we need women's judgment and experience to figure out how to address these practical problems. it really is not the case that the catholic church is not following in jesus's footsteps. it is following closely in what jesus did. host: if you want to check out mary rice hasson's work it is epp c.org. give us a call for the next 20 minutes o
