to start with lincoln and martin luther king and dorothy day and thomas merton. most catholics or practicing catholics know who those luminaries are. a woman like dorothy day, who started the catholic worker movement who sheltered the homeless, fed the hungry, a woman who had an abortion and was ostracized from the church. a radical activist. this is who the pope is naming. thomas merton, a political activist, because he had a certain alliance with eastern religions. people thought, how can a roman catholic priest be buddhist as well? he was suspect. these are the people he was naming. people said, was it a political speech today? you are darn right it was political. he knew it was political. he gave a homily and said, catholics need to meddle into politics. today, this pope meddled in politics. >> frank, you covered the pope for the "times" for a while. do you think it was because he is being criticized from the right saying, oh, he is too left. do you think he knows it is political? do you think he is a leftist? >> i don't know if i would call him a leftist. he

dorothy day and thomas murton, two of the four americans that he raised up in his talk to congress along with abraham lincoln and martinng. dorothy day, the great apostle of social justice, thomas murton, the trappist monk and apostle of dialogue. both of them interestingly on the outs at different points in the church. so he is, you know, once again in terms of including people he is restoring these people to their rightful place in the church. >> picking up on that, the other two people he mentioned of course were as you said abraham lincoln and martin luther king. i find myself to invoke another person, benjamin franklin. he's now driving up the benjamin franklin parkway, and there is a great connection between franklin and francis. that is on july 4th, 1776, after the declaration of independence was signed in independence hall to the left of where he stood last night, they formed a three-person committee to come up with a seal for the new united states. and it was franklin himself who proposed they put moses on that seal. and the other two members, john adams and thomas jefferson, didn't want it, and frankly prevai

martin luther king, in lincoln, doris day, and thomas murant helped build the country. 19 speeches for the pontiff during this u.s. trip. this was one of four that will be in english. perhaps the most significant one. john gonzales, abc 7 news. jonathan: thank you very much. security has been extraordinarily tight. barricades in fences and cement barriers have gone up. they are being pulled up as we speak. some folks traveled a long way just to get a look at the pope and they came up short but they were happy to be here and be a part of the experience. other folks were cap acca ways -- were kept back a ways. they review to protest. as pope francis addressed a joint session of congress, protesters of all varieties turned the national mall into their soapbox. ♪ reporter: the main event, the moral action on climate justice rally which set up in the shadow of the u.s. capitol, urged the crowd of about 1000 to better the environment and help the needy. >> we in the nation of overuse the resources of this world. reporter: she supports renewable energy. i think we should listen to some of the
