no pope has been called francis. when he came in second at the conclave that chose benedict, he was asked afterward what name he would have chosen had he been elected. and he said, john the 24th which tells you what was his mindset then. but he had time to think about it afterward and he obviously thought deeply and came up with a far more audacious choice. francis was not a priest. no other pope has been named after a layman. usually they go for previous popes or bishops or cardinals or whatever. and francis was subversive. he was too radical for his own first followers. as soon as he died, the order splintered off into all kinds of ways of saying, well he meant absolute poverty but that couldn't be true.

so i think pope francis gives us a moment, but i think we have to acknowledge pope francis does not talka lot about unions. he talks a lot about solidarity. and it is up to the labor movement to persuade us that unions are, in fact, an exercise in solidarity. it is up to our pastures and people to persuade us that parishes can be an exercise in solidarity. and our cap again diversit-- our catholic universities ought to be an exercise in solidarity. i would be very discouraged except that you reminded us that in the 1920's and 1930's they were even in worse trouble and found a way to build this wonderful tradition. my question is, how do we renew parish life? how do we renew the labor movement? how do we renew catholic education so this tradition comes alive again? father menjivar: i believe most of those well-off catholics and chevy chase, in kensington, and all the places benefited fomr our-- from our collective power and solidarity we call unions. jim -- some of you may know him is a hard-core irish. so, he used to tell me that before if you wanted to work in the elevators, industry, y
