US: Despite Sagging Popularity, Pope's Visit Sparks Enthusiasm

  • 9 years ago
Despite poll numbers suggesting that following his trip to Latin America, Pope Francis' popularity has declined in the U.S., the Pontiff's upcoming visit has also stirred enthusiasm. Conservatives and Republican presidential candidates have criticized the Pontiff's message of social justice and his role in negotiating the normalization of relations with Cuba. At the same time, his new style and emphasis on equality and solidarity have inspired many lay Catholics. Bianca Perez reports from Washington. teleSUR
