The Pope goes to France to condemn abortion, assisted suicide and the French Revolution. The Pope also said Mass in front of nearly a million people. I guess Catholicism is not totally dead over there in France. Then back to the States, 50,000 people flocked to Missouri to attend Mass and venerate the jawbone of a bishop. People clearly, at the very least, have a lot of questions about the Catholic faith. Again, the midterm polls turn even worse for Republicans as Darlene Graham finds herself in a statistical tie in South Carolina. But despite all of the winning, the leading left-wing thought leader is furious that Democrats are not leaning into how much they want to trans the kids. So there's still hope. Even though things are looking a little rough right now, there is still hope that the Democrats are simply too crazy to allow themselves to win. I'm Michael Knowles.

Really great news. Before we get into all the bad political news, there is some really good stuff. France, speaking of jihadis, France has had some troubles over the last 250 years. France, the eldest daughter to the church, also the site of one of the worst events in the history of the world, the French Revolution. France, which is just always gumming everything up, spreading secularism, inviting all of the Muslims to come and take over the country, it's just, it's France, you know? I mean, we don't even, we renamed French Fries. That's how irritating the French became. And yet, even in that decadent, liberal, secular, riot-filled, increasingly Islamic France, the Pope shows up and everybody is filled with awe and wonder. The Pope shows up, he holds an open air mass on the Champs-Elysées, upwards of a million people showed up. There's like 700,000, maybe more people just lining the streets of France. And I know a lot of people are worried because they think that recent pontificates have been kind of liberal. They say, oh no, the Pope is going to go there and he's just going to talk about how we need to welcome even more Muslim immigrants. And it's going to, we need to have even more liberal policies. And that's not what happened. The Pope, I'll just get through a few highlights of this brief official visit to France. The Pope takes square aim at an increasing scourge, a particularly left-wing policy, taking over the West, that is, assisted suicide.
I know that for some of you, because of particular illness, at times terrible pain, your horizon may appear dark, uncertain and without hope.
But no human law should ever make you lose the certainty of your dignity.
On the contrary, it is precisely in the name of this inalienable dignity of the human person that we must reject the temptation to cause death under the guise of compassion.
