I just finished this fantastic new book on Pope Leo XIV by Christopher White @ChrisWhiteGU. If you’re looking for insights into the new Pope–– and his relationship with Pope Francis–– this is the book for you. It is excellent!

From today’s scriptures:

“I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

"This Pope and Pope Francis they don't fit into a box... in American politics we want to make them Republican or Democrat, progressive, conservative... they are devout followers of Jesus, and Jesus was pretty radical," @Mark_Shriver, a member of the most prominent American Catholic family in history, tells me on @InsidePolitics

[Mark Shriver @Mark_Shriver]

Many thx for having me on, @Elex_Michaelson exciting times for the Catholic Church!

.@Mark_Shriver, who wrote a book on Pope Francis, discusses Pope Leo XIV:

"Pope Francis' motto was around mercy...I hope [Leo] takes that message of bringing the voice to the poor & the powerless to Rome."

"These are progressive ideas...& what Pope Leo will really focus on."

@StoolGreenie What a ridiculous last play to that quarter

[Mark Shriver @Mark_Shriver]

In case you missed this great segment on ⁦@TODAYshow⁩ this morning. Many thanks to ⁦@jacobsoboroff⁩ for making it happen and to ⁦@craigmelvin⁩ for his words of support! Jen Garner is terrific and so to is ⁦@SavetheChildren⁩ https://t.co/J9h1DhEx6N

[Mark Shriver @Mark_Shriver]

This is what a real Pope looks like, a true follower of Jesus

[Mark Shriver @Mark_Shriver]

@StoolGreenie Horrible end to the quarter. Why did they let that happen?

[Mark Shriver @Mark_Shriver]

Excellent - - and TRUE!!- - statement from my brothers ⁦@TimShriver⁩ and ⁦@AnthonyKShriver⁩ about autism. See their entire statement on Instagram. Reminds me of the Dr. King quote: “It’s always the right time to do the right thing.” Hope others are listening!

@calmseas83 @StoolGreenie Well said! Like your positivity!

[Mark Shriver @Mark_Shriver]

WOW- - this is beautiful and accurate:

[Mark Shriver @Mark_Shriver]

Pope Francis was not just a nice guy who liked people - he was a devout follower of Jesus who joyfully challenged us to get out of our comfort zone,to get the mud of the street on our shoes.I taped these words on my office wall.Hope they challenge, &inspire, you, like they do me!

[Mark Shriver @Mark_Shriver]

and the refugee, to the poor - - he joy-fully inspires me, daily.

He asked us to pray for him when he was first introduced as Pope; he asked Jeanne, Molly, Tommy, Emma and me to pray for him when we meet; today, we will do that- - and we will pray to him, as well.

[Mark Shriver @Mark_Shriver]

clearly loved being on the journey with us all….His humility, his call for Mercy, his Joy in being a follower of Jesus, his Hope, his love of the Earth, his example of reaching out to those on the margin, to the forgotten and the unincluded, to those in jail, to the migrant….

In June of 2016, we were invited to morning mass with Pope Francis and blessed to have a few minutes with him afterwards.

He was - - and still is- - a wonderfully complicated teacher; he was dogmatic, yet very open to the Holy Spirt moving each of us in different ways. He…
