Pope Francis and the People tonight on 20/20

[Michie]

10 pm on ABC. Info just says Pope Francis shares his message.

 

[Rhamiel]

thanks for the heads up
I do not watch much tv
but I will make an exception for this

 

[Michie]

*bump*

 

[benedictaoo]

Yeah , I'm watching it... Don't know what I think. I'm very parcel (sp?) to JPll. He was the peoples pope. Francis seems okay though.

 

[Rhamiel]

20/20 is calling him "the peoples Pope"

 

[Michie]

I think it is very touching so far

 

[Michie]

Ugh! The girl with the loss of her father at a young age!

 

[benedictaoo]

he is but is he going to talk about Jesus?

 

[Michie]

Am I the only one hugging a box of Kleenex right now???

 

[Tigger45]

Planning on watching it myself.

 

[topcare]

Am I the only one hugging a box of Kleenex right now???

So far, I have a few hours before I see it

 

[benedictaoo]

ABC has edited this. They probably cut Jesus out.

 

[Michie]

A dog named Chico...

 

[Michie]

Wow! The Pope was pretty clear on abortion and single mothers! Woohoo!

 

[benedictaoo]

He gets points for respecting life and not killing you're daughters comment .

 

[benedictaoo]

Wow! The Pope was pretty clear on abortion and single mothers! Woohoo!

Yeah but if it were me, I would have had to have said, that's not something I would have ever considered.

 

[Michie]

So will homosexuality come up? Bet you it will.

 

[Michie]

This woman did not consider abortion. I did not hear her bring it up.

Yeah but if it were me, I would have had to have said, that's not something I would have ever considered.

 

[Michie]

Immigration is next....

So touched by the Pope's words to everyone. His words to the single mother of two girls was so comforting and healing, I am sure, to single mothers everywhere. People in difficult circumstances need encouragement, not condemnation, so much--and it's free. It doesn't cost a priest or a bishop anything to affirm single moms--but how many do on a regular basis?

I noticed immediately what a good listener he is.
