Head of the roman catholic church addressing congress. what a striking sight he was, the light reflecting off his white robes. and chris matthews listening along with us. chris, he went there on issues from arms control to climate to equality to poverty, to human life, to fundamentalism, in tracing the lives of lincoln, king, day and merton. i think he was creating or structuring a spiritual mt. rushmore there for modern catholicism and a modern sense of values. i mean, clearly lincoln and martin luther king were no surprise in that mt. rushmore, but to bring in dorothy day, a woman of the catholic left, certainly the catholic progressive left who did so much for poverty and almost found a catholic version of marxism in a sense, very much concerned about inequality and the people who were trodden down in the cities of america. thomas merton has been a great force for a lot of people who have been in the recovering ....
