Probably also echoing his own experience as a missionary bishop and now the Pope.
I found also that very touching this openness to the world.
And he's someone who is coming from the outside.
He has been in the Korean and now he has both worlds.
And this is very different.
Quite assuring.
I think for the church.
President Trump briefly spoke to reporters at the White House, where he said it was a great honor to have the newly elected pope be from the United States.
We'll have somebody great.
Were you guys on it?
They have already spoken to us, and we'll see what happens.
But again, to have the vote from the United States of America, that's a great honor.
That's a great honor.
Mr. President, you're going to welcome the Pope Washington.
They said he's from America.
I said, that's great.

Sunday night on C-SPAN's Q&A.
Former Ohio Governor John Kasich, author of Heaven Help Us, talks about the work done by religious institutions and people of faith in the United States, including combating homelessness, hunger, human trafficking, and other issues.
I do think it's not critical to count the number of times you go to church.
But at the same time, I think we need to realize that those institutions are sort of like when you think about running for office, you need a clubhouse, a political clubhouse to gather.
I look at the churches as an opportunity for people to go in there with their ideas of change in the world and to be able to find support, some material support, some psychological support.
I also believe you can get more things done working with others than just working alone.
John Kasich with his book, Heaven Help Us, Sunday night at 8 p.m. Eastern on C-SPAN's QA.

Okay, we're ready.
We have the Prime Minister on the phone, and we have a nice hookup.
This looks like the kind of a hookup that's not going to be causing any problems.
And your voice comes through beautifully here.
So I just want to sound great.
I just want to begin by saying that this is a very special day because it's Victory Day, World War II, May 8th.
