St Francis Persuasive Speech
Starting on Tuesday, Pope Francis began a visit to the US; in which he passed through the cities of Washington, D.C., New York City and Philadelphia.
On Wednesday, President Obama welcomed the Pope to the White House, and then leads a prayer at St Matthew's Cathedral.
This is important because it marks a good doctrine between them, and by getting together, changes can be made; the Pope and the US president have same points of view on issues like defending the poor and climate change, and although the are at odds over other matters like gay marriage and abortion, they meeting is a friendly one.

that they will be sent back to Mexico.
The next day he made an address to the US Congress, this is the first time this happens ever. On Friday, for the 70th anniversary of the U.N., Pope Francis met the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
For me, it’s impressing the power of influence that this religious figure has, it would be very good if some of the point he made were actually taken into consideration, like the selling of weapons in the US.
He also led a Holy Mass at Madison Square Garden, in which over 20 hundred people assisted.
On Sunday, once in Philadelphia, the pope visited Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, with Inmates at the neighboring prison.
In every corner of the world you will find people who will follow him, in this correctional, the inmates built him a chair for him to sit in, and the speech was broadcasted to all the prisoners.
Also, at Philadelphia, he had a meeting with five victims of sex abuse. these adults were abused as minors by clergy, family members, or their own teachers.
“I have in my heart, the stories of suffering and pain of the minors who were sexually abused by priests. And, it continues to overwhelm me with shame that the people who were charged with taking care of these tender ones violated that trust and caused them a profound pain. God weeps. I am profoundly sorry that your innocence was violated by those who you trusted," Pope Francis told victims.
But the groups from the victims say that the church hasn’t done enough to help children. “Encouraging that he did take time to meet with the victims of clergy abuse. You know, his words definitely have an impact. But now we need action to follow those words: that would be true justice.” Said a family member of one of the
victims.
His final stop was at B. Franklin Parkway, where he gave a Holy Mass to over 1 million people, and millions more over TV.
In conclusion, the pope in a world figure, but not only to Catholics, but to everyone who believes in the moral good. Lately, the Pope has been a mediator trying to consolidate Washington and Cuba, encouraging the US and Cuba to set a global "example of reconciliation".
"The people's pope," because he is not only a pope for Catholics, non-Catholics who are simply fans of the ways of Pope Francis also know him like this.
