Doris Kearns Goodwin on MSNBC with Kate Snow (24 September, 2015)

Following Pope Francis’ momentous Joint Address to Congress, Doris offers her historical perspective on the his visit and leadership on MSNBC with Kate Snow. “What Pope Francis is saying is we have to understand where other people come from, we have to care about the vulnerable. If you can do that in a civic society, if you can think about where the other person is, you can come together for common ground. And that’s bigger than any of the specific issues—that’s a way of thinking. And that’s a way of thinking we haven’t seen too much in these last, broken Washington years,” says Doris.
