-- on our way to another -- here because what are the issues about the priesthood is about eleven of the churches that they.

We should be.

You have should the next we'll let women become priests and and overwhelming majority of those polled said.

Yes there for a 69%.

Against 28% but you know as a small smattering that it did they don't know it it it doesn't matter to them.

So.

Again is this isn't an issue that the church has not been able to make its positions on certain things -- really -- -- -- -- -- -- Well I think it's a foundational issue about -- -- I think that.

He did you think you can ask people their opinion on things.

But if if the church never fully made its case in the first place -- was never fully heard in the first place.

Well that and then the opinions are are not necessarily as a -- does that could be.

And I don't think that's the -- of the people giving their answers in the poll I think that that -- a church matter.

And what one thing I find very exciting about this moment.

Is I was over in Rome at the opening of the year of -- mass which coincided with the fiftieth anniversary of the opening a second Vatican.

Council and the senate -- -- -- -- for the new event elevation of the bishops were having.

And the Pope I have the opportunity get to spend a few moments with the Pope.

He handed me this message to the women of the world is it -- -- handed other messages other people and what was so significant about it.

Is that it was the same exact message the Paul the sixth.

-- delivered to different people.

At the end of Vatican council -- why I think that's important is.

I think it was the Pope acknowledging.

We didn't fully communicate best you didn't fully receive those let's try again where we are now.

And so I think that's fundamentally what that where the church's right now and I think that's what they're discussing in these in -- congregation meetings and what they're looking for an the next Pope.

Who can most effectively.

We propose these things the world and communicate them.

Thank you very much better hope as editor at large and you'll -- national review online thank you so much for being on the show today yeah.

Hello we another a couple of -- -- McDowell says it would be nice to see him push to -- community political leaders.

We take communion but vote for anti Catholic causes like abortion.

All right that key -- among -- seven I don't think the next Pope will be able to accomplish any much in terms of rights for women.

-- -- the -- I hope he can.

-- Wendy's I said I personally think that the Pope needs to be open minded with.

How the world is now with Catholics are leaving the church because of the rules of the church with us and that's that's coming into this that if -- keep that -- thank you so much.
