ELTON JOHN, THE POPE & FOX'S BOOK OF MARTYRS Chris discusses recent comments from musician, Elton John who said that Pope Francis should be canonized as a "saint" because of his support for the gay community. The Vatican's Synod on the Family recently concluded, and officially backed away from its original welcoming statements of gays into Catholicism. It has been reported that the reason for this was partly because of conservative resistance. But others are claiming that the reason was because the initial statements "did not go far enough in emphasizing the church's welcome, respect, and value for gays and lesbians." Also discussed is the introduction of the 1833 edition of Fox's Book of Martyrs, in which is featured a warning to America about the influence of Rome in the United States.
