Rachel Maddow on John Kerry's handshake with the pope

[MBS]

A beautiful moment, a genuine moment, and Rachel Maddow explains exactly why.
Sweet revenge for everything that the reactionary cardinal Burke did to John Kerry in 2004. (And yuck , Burke has a truly creepy voice- I've loathed him since 2004, and his voice just fits his moral creepiness)

1. Good film! I was scared by the creepy villain but...

teared up and felt happy at the surprise ending!

2. Rachel did a great job on this story last night

I am glad that John Kerry was singled out by the Pope

3. me, too

and Rachel did a good job of bringing out the connections, in both space and time, between a lot of events that most people (where they remembered them at all) would probably think of as separate topics.

And, yeah, that was a great (and genuine) moment between Sec. Kerry and the Pope.
Followed, I should add, by another moment at the Pope's departure from DC:see their extended, warm conversation at the plane (look at about 40-43 minutes into the video).
Would love to know what they talked about, and also what Teresa Kerry had to say (Kerry introduces the pope to his wife in this same segment)

4. I love that video - even the parts where people were simply waiting for the Pope

It was also great to see that Teresa also met the Pope.

7. It was great to see that. No surprise...

... here.
It was good to see Teresa there and see that she looked so well. 😄

Edited to add:
Remember this thread? Maybe this is the apology... 😉

At long last... 🇺🇸
