Francis Rooney served as Ambassador to the Vatican during the second term of George W. Bush. He looks back on Pope Benedict's denunciation of radical Islam and his opposition to the war in Iraq.  And he offers his perspective on Pope Francis' efforts to reform the Vatican.

Ambassador Rooney explains why the current pope's recent comments about capitalism have been misunderstood, and are colored by Francis' Argentinian roots.
