Bill Moyers and Thomas Cahill: The people's Pope

"It seems the spirit of Occupy Wall Street has become a one man occupation of the Vatican." - Bill Moyers

Francis is the first Jesuit to ascend to the papacy, so this week Bill turns to Jesuit-educated author and historian Thomas Cahill to get his perspective on Pope Francis and the relevance of the Church in the 21st century. “[Pope Francis] is talking about the poor, as Jesus did. He’s talking about the absolute necessity for us to take care of the poor, to do something for them.”


Wouldn't it be interesting if Pope Francis turned out to be the leader Occupy could never quite find?
