It’s been an amazing couple of days here in Washington as Pope Francis has just completed his visit. Despite attempts to overly politicize this visit, Pope Francis showed us once again that the Church is neither liberal, nor conservative, but Catholic. I will never forget the images today of the Pope in the House of Representatives with two Catholics sitting behind him as the heads of our government. It was a proud day for American Catholics.

Now that the Holy Father is safely in New York, things are starting to quiet down here. As such, I took some time to reflect on these past days and share some thoughts of what it was like to be here.
