00:00I suppose the most interesting thing is, I think from the time he was 5 or 6 years old, he knew this was his fate.

00:07Not that he would be a pope, that he would be a priest.

00:10He knew that from a very young age, and his idea never faltered all through grammar school, high school, college.

00:18He would take our mom's ironing board covered over with a tablecloth, and we would go to Mass.

00:24And if you, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but if you remember an old-fashioned candy called Necco, those were the communion wafers.

00:33In my opinion, and he may be different than I think, is you will see kind of a second Pope Francis.

00:40I think he'll kind of follow in Pope Francis' footsteps in terms of some of the policies and the way he conducts himself.

00:49I think that's why I'm saying he's going to follow in Pope Francis' footsteps, because he knows there are the downtrodden.

00:59He knows there are the poor.

01:00He knows there are the disenfranchised, the people who don't have a voice.

01:04And so I think he will be looking out for that, because that's where he spent so many years with those people who he worked with

01:11and knows what their needs may be, and maybe he can do something to help them.

01:18Extreme joy, extreme pride, and then I think eventually in would come worry as to how Robert is going to handle this,

01:27because it's a heavy weight on his shoulders.

01:29He's got the task of trying to bring the world's Catholics together, because I think we're splitting apart quickly.

01:38And maybe he can do something to bring it back.

01:42Well, Sox fan is Southside, Cubs fan is Northside.

01:47Our mother's family was Northside, and that's where the Cubs came in.

01:52Our father was St. Louis Cardinals, so how Rob picked Sox, one only knows, but that's where he was.

02:01So I don't know where it came that he was a Cubs fan.

02:04So yes, I did want to straighten that out.

02:07I'm sure it's important for the country to know that.
