My experiences of loving god and loving football of loving my faith and loving women and how and -- put these all together.

You put them all together poorly.

I try to put it all together and my faith can sometimes make me cry and sometimes make me laugh and my sins make me cry at the same time I kind of laugh like Leno your -- -- Clown you're such a fool when it comes to.

You say you're -- -- be this Christian you say you're gonna be this Catholic and then you fall short of it and whether through the prostitute -- meeting the Pope.

By I didn't sit in either case by the way.

But I usually fall short left of the person I keep uncle John Paul the second because he was just be -- -- -- on last spring how did you meet him.

I'm a 100% Italian and every Italian should have two things a lawyer.

In a family at least that and a bishop in the family.

I have a bishop in the family was working at the Vatican he was friends with John Paul the second we -- having lunch one day I said you really know the Pope and he seemed almost offended.

Of course I know the holy father.

-- that all right because you're gonna meet the Pope said yes I wanna meet the Pope.

Next day I got a chance itself banks to grace or lock and got a chance to have mass with him in his private chapel.

To actually pray with him just privately it just he and I in the chapel.

As well as speak to him afterwards and did he give me a rosary turns out -- you meet the -- bring a gift I didn't.

And nobody told me to bring a guy say everybody around me had flowers and books and all of these things for the holy father despite your humble spirit I just brought me about me and giant prop nose.
