This coming Sunday, Nov. 3, the
Knights of Columbus-produced documentary on Pope Francis will again be aired on
national television. CNBC will broadcast the documentary at 6-7 p.m. Eastern
(3-4 p.m. Pacific).
The film, Francis: The Pope
from the New World, features interviews with Pope Francis' friends and
associates in Argentina, as well as with American commentators such as Supreme
Knight Carl Anderson and members of the hierarchy, including Cardinal Timothy
Dolan, Cardinal Sean O'Malley, Archbishop Charles Chaput and Archbishop Jose
Gomez.
The world has been fascinated by
our new Holy Father, but many people still do not fully know the man who is now
our pope. This film introduces viewers to Jorge Mario Bergoglio - the man who
became Pope Francis - and his life story, from his childhood and patronage of
his local soccer team to his vocation and time as a priest, bishop and then
cardinal archbishop of Buenos Aires.
If possible, please encourage your
council members and parishioners to watch this documentary during your homily
or following Masses on the weekend of Nov. 2 and 3.
As Knights, standing in solidarity
with our Holy Father, it is not only important that we know him but that we
help others to know him, and that we support him in the work of the New
Evangelization. If we follow Pope Francis' charitable witness, we have the
opportunity to change the world.
