## Transcript

I have great admiration for what I see in the new Pope. I've never met him. But to me, the three most important qualities in leadership are humility, integrity, and generosity because these are the antidotes to the three great traps of money, sex and power. And I find the Pope modeling not just-- since he'd been Pope, but his entire life time. First, I love the fact that he modeled humility like going to pay his own hotel bill. You know, not riding in the Pope mobile but in a normal car. You know, a very humble man. This is men who spend his life with the poor. Okay, I love the fact that he did one of first masses, he went to serve mass to people with AIDS.

He has integrity. I like the fact that before he started attacking businessmen on their greed, he attacked the bishops on their greed. And before he starts talking about lose morals to society, he talks about lose morals in the church. And then he just seems to be an incredibly generous person. So I-- I hope to meet him someday.
