Pax Vaticana? In which I argue that the American pope is the best, and maybe last, exponent of the American soft power that America has abandoned. But Leo is not looking for a fight with Trump, he is looking beyond Trump...

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

The best political interviewers in Britain and Europe treat questioning like a point in tennis - you keep hitting until the exchange is resolved.
Nearly all American interviewers treat a question like a penalty kick in soccer - you have one shot, and if the interviewee deflects, that's it.

Trump: “I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.”
