Scotty’s spends $350,000 over summer on renovations, permit | ROSE SKELLY AND LUCY CLEMENTS Although Scotty’s Brewhouse will be starting to sell liquor within the next month, the atmosphere of the restaurant will not change, said owner Scott Wise. “We’ve always tried to position ourselves as a restaurant first and a bar second, so I’ve always felt like we’re the place where you want to get the night started,” Wise said. “We don’t want to be the bar that has 50cent shots, that’s not who we are.” The restaurant’s hours will adjust based on the customers’ wishes, but for now they are staying the same. Wise said he has wanted to get a liquor license for several years, but the timing was never right. The license, which he applied for in July and is hoping to have by Family Weekend on Oct. 23, will attract a different demographic to his restaurant, he said. Scotty’s Brewhouse’s current alcohol menu is limited to beer and wine. “We’re going to open ourselves up to a whole other crowd of people that may have avoided us because they couldn’t come in, you know, on a Friday night,” Wise said. “I think we kind of segmented ourselves; we pigeonholed ourselves so we lost out on some of those people that did want to have [liquor].” Wise said obtaining the liquor license wasn’t difficult, but it was costly. He said he knew going in that it could cost anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000, but there were other expenses as well, like ordering glassware and figuring out where to put all the bottles of liquor. Wise declined to say how much he paid for the license because of ongoing negotiations. In addition to getting their liquor license, Scotty’s Brewhouse also underwent a complete interior remodel.

Professors, students discuss hook-up stereotype surrounding Tinder JACQUI SCHLABACH ADMINISTRATION REPORTER jtschlabach@bsu.edu
O
ne quick swipe right or left can determine the fate a potential relationship. Tinder makes it easy for often busy college students to explore dating opportunities when they don’t have time for long-term relationships, said George Gaither, an associate professor of psychology. “There’s so many different time pressures — from work, to school, to family and everything else — it’s easier to look for short-term effects than relationships,” Gaither said. But maybe Tinder isn’t creating as many hookups as some think. Melinda Messineo, the chairperson of the Department of Sociology, said it is used less than people think.
Student group aims to ‘stand with Bernie’ ‘Alliance’ currently only on-campus organization to support candidate MICHELLE KAUFMAN GENERAL REPORTER | mekaufman@bsu.edu
Although Bernie Sanders isn’t leading in the presidential polls, he remains a popular candidate among college-aged students. Sanders is the only candidate so far with a Ball State student group campaigning for him — The Progressive Student Alliance. Formerly known as College Students for Bernie at BSU, the group is a branch of the Muncie for Bernie Sanders Group, which is run by former political science major Michael Mahoney. “Being a political science major, I BERNIE SANDERS think politics are important to focus 2016 on every single day,” Mahoney said. presidential “If we ignore politicians until elec- candidate tion season, who knows what they’re gonna do? We have to keep an eye on what’s going on and pay attention.” Mahoney said being informed even when it is not an election year is something important for everyone to do. He contacted Jacob Cail, a junior telecommunications major, over the summer about forming a group on campus. Cail ended up founding The Progressive Student Alliance and is the vice president, although Mahoney still serves as the unofficial adviser to the group. “We were both politically active and saw what Bernie Sanders is talking about, so we decided to try to get something going,” Cail said. See SANDERS, page 4
“Obviously connecting with individuals has always been something that people have been engaging with, but the ease of technology adds to its appeal,” Messineo said. Messineo said the biggest challenge with Tinder is participation of people who have a misconception that more people are hooking up than really are. Jon Bell, a sophomore music media production major, said Tinder is used more for hooking up because it primarily emphasizes surface-level attraction instead of a deeper connection. Bell had matched with a girl in the past, and a friendly relationship blossomed. After hanging out with her several times and going to parties with her, Bell found out she had a boyfriend. “I do not know if my experience is typical amongst the Tinder population, but it has definitely affected the way I approach relationships,” Bell said. “I am much more cautious and slightly more cynical toward the idea of dating.” See TINDER, page 4
COLTS WAIVE FORMER CARDINAL NFL team releases Patterson day after in-game debut | JAKE FOX AND ROBBY GENERAL

Former Ball State cornerback Eric Patterson has been waived from the Indianapolis Colts. By being waived, 31 other NFL owners can now acquire Patterson based on their order in the waiver wire.
Former Ball State cornerback Eric Patterson has been waived from the Colts just one day after playing his first downs for the team. Colts owner Jim Irsay Tweeted roster moves Tuesday afternoon, announcing the singing of cornerback Josh Thomas and Patterson’s release. Patterson recorded two solo tackles in his debut after veteran cornerback Vontae Davis left the game with an injury. He was elevated to the active 53-man roster on Sept. 18 following rookie D’Joun Smith’s placement on the injured reserve/designated to return list. “I mean, it was just fun,”
Patterson said of his time on the field Monday night. “Going out there to do what you love and what you grew up loving, to be able to finally do it, it means a lot. It took so much hard work to get here.” The 2014 graduate signed with the Patriots after going undrafted, but was later cut. He signed a training camp deal with the Colts, and earned a spot on the practice squad following camp. Patterson entered the game on Monday Night Football against the New York Jets in the second quarter when Davis went to the locker room. His experience prior to the game was limited to the preseason, where he recorded four solo tackles and two assists. He said it was a great experience facing off against a New York Jets’ receiving corp that boasts veteran receivers like Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall. THE PULSE OF BALL STATE

3. VW APOLOGIZES FOR DECEPTIVE SOFTWARE DN WEATHER ICONS
BARACK OBAMA AND POPE FRANCIS | TNS PHOTO
BERLIN (AP) — Volkswagen AG’s smog-test troubles escalated Tuesday as the company acknowledged putting stealth software in millions of vehicles worldwide. The scandal has now cost VW more than 24 billion euros ($26 billion) in market value. Volkswagen stunningly admitted that some 11 million of the German carmaker’s diesel vehicles contain software that evades emissions
controls, far more than the 482,000 identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as violating the Clean Air Act. Volkswagen also warned that future profits could be affected, and set aside an initial 6.5 billion euros ($7.3 billion) to cover the fallout. CEO Martin Winterkorn apologized for the deception under his leadership.
BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union’s two emergency meetings on the migration crisis this week won’t provide any quick solutions to ease the plight of tens of thousands of people seeking sanctuary in Europe despite a decision Tuesday to share 120,000 more refugees arriving in Greece and Italy. As the EU scrambles to respond to scenes of people charging
razor-wire fences, suffocating in trucks or bodies washing up on beaches, unity has crumbled as nations in the 28-member bloc trade barbs over who is to blame. Nothing on the agenda of Tuesday’s interior ministers’ meeting or the summit of EU leaders on Wednesday will immediately help countries in Eastern Europe and the Balkans to manage their borders now. Or next week.
1. POPE FRANCIS COMES TO US FOR 1ST TIME 4. EU HOLDS EMERGENCY MIGRATION TALKS WASHINGTON (AP) — Pope the pope’s chartered plane touched Francis arrived Tuesday on the first visit of his life to the United States, bringing his “church of the poor” to the world’s wealthiest superpower and a country polarized over issues closest to his heart: immigration, social injustice and economic inequality. According a rare honor to the pontiff, President Barack Obama and his wife and daughters welcomed Francis at the bottom of the stairs on the red-carpeted tarmac at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland after
down from Cuba. Presidents usually make important visitors come to them at the White House. Emerging from the plane to boisterous cheers from a crowd of hundreds, the smiling 78-year-old pontiff removed his skullcap in the windy weather and made his way down the steps in his white robes. He was met by a military honor guard, chanting schoolchildren, politicians and Roman Catholic clergymen in black robes and brightly colored sashes of scarlet and purple.
5. STUDY: DIAGNOSIS WRONG TOO OFTEN WASHINGTON (AP) — Most people will experience at least one wrong or delayed diagnosis at some point in their lives, a blind spot in modern medicine that can have devastating consequences, says a new report that calls for urgent changes across health care. Getting the right diagnosis, at the right time, is crucial, but Tuesday’s Institute of Medicine report found diagnostic errors get too little attention. The biggest needed change:
2. US FREES PRISONER WHO LED HUNGER STRIKE MIAMI (AP) — A Saudi prisoner at Guantanamo who waged a hunger strike for years to protest his confinement has been released from the U.S. base at Cuba, the Pentagon said Tuesday. Abdul Shalabi was sent back to Saudi Arabia, where he was expected to take part in a rehabilitation program for militants. His release, the second this month,
brings the prisoner population at Guantanamo to 114, including 52 who have been approved for transfer. Shalabi, 39, was among the first prisoners brought to Guantanamo in January 2002. The U.S. said he had been a bodyguard to Osama bin Laden and an associate of other senior al-Qaida figures, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed. He was never charged with a crime.
“Patients are central to a solution,” said Dr. John Ball of the American College of Physicians, who chaired the IOM committee. That means better teamwork between health providers — doctors, nurses, lab workers — and making the patient be part of the team, too. Providers must take patients’ complaints more seriously, get them quick copies of test results and other records, and encourage them to ask, “Could it be something else?”

Paying her Dues: Goalkeeper’s journey to 1st string
Player’s leadership helps her earn spot on starting roster

DAVID K. JONES FIELD HOCKEY REPORTER @dkjones_BSU
She’s quiet, shy and fun to be around off the field. But teammate Lexi Kavanaugh said she’s “scary good” when she is wearing jersey No. 27. Ask any Ball State field hockey player about junior goalkeeper Jordan Dues, and they will tell you she’s a gamer. In her first year as the starting goalkeeper, Dues is showing she can be a leader based on her work ethic in the net. “She is really shy,” Kavanaugh said. “It’s actually pretty weird because as soon as she puts on that goalie equipment, she’s like a silent assassin—she comes out and destroys everything.” Patrick and Erica Dues, Jordan’s parents, are used to her competitive nature. She has been working to be a good athlete since she was a kid. “Jordan always wanted to be the best at everything she did,” Patrick said. “We did everything [as parents] that we needed to for her to

be where she is today.” Erica also participated in sports growing up, and raised Jordan in the same manner that her mother brought her up. She taught Jordan a “no regrets” mentality and not to look back on things. Patrick is an active veteran with the Marine Corps for 25 years, so the Dues family has lived in four different states. He had Jordan by his side whenever he could, whether he was watching her play or they were watching NFL games together. “[Erica] and I have two daughters,” Patrick said. “I
would take Jordan everywhere I could while my other daughter was out shopping with her mother—Jordan has always been an athlete.” Jordan started off playing soccer in first grade and made the switch to field hockey in sixth grade. She was a quick learner and participated in different camps, most notably the Disney Junior Field Hockey Classic in 2012 at Disney World. Jordan even did some training at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., with former U.S. National Team goalkeeper Amy Swenson.
Freshman earns quarterback spot Lembo adds Neal to list of starters after double wins

ROBBY GENERAL ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR sports@bsudailynews.com
After back-to-back high-caliber performances, head coach Pete Lembo has named Riley Neal as starting quarterback for the Ball State football team. Lembo and offensive coordinator Joey Lynch decided Sunday that Neal would start the game against No. 17 Northwestern. “He’s going to start the game and [we’re] looking forward to seeing what he can do this week,” Lembo said. “He has handled himself very well so far.” This will mark Neal’s first start of his young career. He replaces redshirt sophomore Jack Milas, who took over last year and started the first two games of this season. Despite not starting, the freshman has already played against a top-25 team in Texas A&M. In College Station, Texas, Neal recorded 173 all-purpose yards in his first collegiate appearance.

Campus pantry feeds 186 students Cardinal Kitchen distributes about 600 items weekly
|
JACOB SLIGER GENERAL REPORTER jisliger@bsu.edu
One of the volunteers at Cardinal Kitchen knows what it feels like to have a hard time getting enough money to buy food. That’s the reason Rachel Johnson, a senior social work major and the volunteer coordinator for Cardinal Kitchen, wants to make sure people aren’t ashamed of asking for help, and know the true meaning of food insecurity. At Cardinal Kitchen, a student-run food pantry, students can come in to get food, toiletries or other supplies they may need if they can’t afford it. “People think ‘food insecurity’ and they think you’re always hungry and you never have the money,” Johnson said. “That’s not the case. It
can just be a bad week. I’ve had those months where my car’s broken down, [I’ve] still gotta pay rent, still gotta pay bills, still gotta pay for my tuition, but food has to happen.” This is Cardinal Kitchen’s second semester, and organizers are aiming to build community partnerships and raise awareness about student food insecurity after a successful first semester, Johnson said. Last semester, she said she wasn’t expecting much of a turnout for the SGA-initiated service. But after helping 186 different student visitors and distributing an average of 600 items per week, Johnson said Cardinal Kitchen warrants a spot in Ball State’s community. “It is something that Ball State has shown that it needs because of the amount of people we see every week and see returning and from the feedback we hear,” she said. The pantry was used a total of 461 times last

SANDERS: | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Cail said Sanders is representative of what the American people want and shares progressive values. Sanders’s viewpoint on issues such as income inequality and minimum wage are in alignment with what the majority of Americans agree with, he said. Sanders, a current senator from Vermont, wants to raise minimum wage to $15 per hour, make public college tuition free, and he supports the Iran nuclear deal. As of print time, Sanders is about 20 percentage points behind Hillary Clinton in the candidate popularity polls, according to Real Clear Politics. However, he is ahead of
TINDER:

Gaither said Tinder doesn’t make people cheat on their partners, but it gives them a tool to do it. The same idea goes for the types of people who utilize Tinder, Gaither said. Those on Tinder tend to be people looking for more shortterm activities than those looking for a long-term relationship, Gaither said. “It’s like McDonald’s,” Gaither said. “Why spend the time cooking a meal when you can order McDonald’s and get it much quicker and cheaper.” Tinder’s vice president of communications and branding, Rosette Pambakian, said 80 percent of Tinder users are between the ages of 18 and 34. Making 1.5 billion swipes a day, these users end up with 25 million matches total. Social media forums, including Tinder, provide an outlet for those who desire affirmation, Messineo said. “Especially [with] young adults, one primary developmental challenge working through this age is acceptance,” said Messineo.
Clinton in New Hampshire by 10 percentage points and is even with her in Iowa, which are the first states to hold primary elections. Freshman public relations major Sarah Foster is another supporter of Sanders and can’t wait to see him “Bern” the other candidates, she said. Foster first found out who Sanders was through a test taken in government class that told her she was most likely to vote for him in 2016. “I didn’t know who he was, but I found out we have the same views,” Foster said. “All of a sudden, he started appearing on Twitter and Facebook. It’s really interesting that he’s on social media almost 24/7 and creating this underground cult even though news media doesn’t talk much about him.” Foster said she appreciAlex Crunk, a sophomore telecommunications major, downloaded Tinder for a week before she deleted it. She didn’t like it at first -not until the random compliments started coming in. She deleted it because she wasn’t interested in hooking up, and she started receiving creepy messages from her matches. “I believe about 50 percent of people using Tinder are looking for a hookup, because they will straight up tell you that,” Crunk said. “The other 50 percent I think use it for fun, entertainment and a nice confidence boost.” There are gender differences of what the expectations are for using Tinder, Messineo said. A lot of people using Tinder believe sexual consent comes with a relationship, she said. “The range of what people define as ‘hooking up’ is quite broad,” Messineo said. However, Spencer Sabinske, a senior criminal justice major, said he likes Tinder because he can take just five minutes out of the day and talk to someone he wouldn’t have otherwise. “People who are using it for casual connections are
ates how Sanders has stood by his values for issues like social justice since the beginning and does not sway to get votes. While other candidates seem to be all talk and no plan, Sanders actually forms a plan to put his goals into action, she said. “I appreciate how he’s stood on his values for social justice since the beginning,” she said. “He hasn’t swayed one way to get votes.” While Sanders’s name is generating buzz, political science professor Sean Hildebrand isn’t sure it will draw more people to the polls. “It’s honestly too early to tell whether Sanders or anyone will have an impact on turnout in the primaries or if having so many candidates will get people to vote in an effort to get their favorite candidate through the fog,” he said.

Gaither said using that substitution for going to bars could lead to safer sex, because people probably aren’t drunk when they’re meeting up, and they have had time to talk about protection and what they’re looking for from the meeting. It creates a difference between meeting at bars and only focusing on what they need to do to get the other person to go home with them, he said. “As a society, we are changing a lot of our ways, what we expect of women and what we expect of men,” Gaither said.
LOCATION The student-run food pantry is open for the last three Tuesdays of each month from 5 to 8 p.m. in the Multicultural Center. Students in need of assistance may visit the pantry during these times and receive up to 12 items from the selection of fresh fruit, canned goods, toiletries and other food items. port from Feeding America, a nationwide network of food banks that provides assistance to 46.5 million people, 10 percent of their adult clients are students — a statistic that Hugo said is relevant to Ball State. However, Hugo said there is still a stigma around asking for assistance that stops many from seeking the help they need. “There’s not a person out there who’s not hungry at some point in their lives,” Johnson said. “If we as a college community aren’t supporting those students in that need, what are we doing?”

They could purchase items directly from Second Harvest, which would allow them to focus on more quality food over quantity. According to a 2014 re-

Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson said she is hoping younger voters can use the app to register to vote. “Registering to vote is simple in Indiana,” Lawson said. “The Indiana Voters app is the next phase of this office embracing technology to improve customer service and citizen engagement.” The Indiana Voter’s mobile app has several features, which allow users to register to vote, confirm their voter registration, look up polling places and driving directions, find out who’s on the ballot, track absentee ballot applications and contact local election officials. Voting amongst college students is lower than state legislators would like to see, Lawson said, and
SCOTTY’S:
making a push for college students to at least register is a good first step. In the 2014 general elections, 30 percent of registered voters in Indiana turned up to vote, according to in.gov. Of people ages 18-29, 21.5 percent voted, according to civicyouth.org. “Voting is so important,” Lawson said. “People are making decisions that can effect the community and Ball State – it’s impacting you, and I ask that students please accept responsibility and get their votes on the ballots.” Sophomore anthropology major Alyssa Bauer had never heard of the Indiana Voter’s app before, but after discovering she could apply to register on her phone, Bauer said she felt “more compelled” to enter her ballot this November. “I didn’t even know this existed, but now that I think about it, this is actually really convenient, especially for college students,” Bauer said. “I don’t have to get up and go register somewhere specific – it’s all right here in my hand.” A Muncie local, Bauer said she will likely go to her designated polling location to cast her ballot, but she said the easy accessibility to check her voter status was “a really cool way to attract someone in college
to at least try and register.” Ryan Shank, a sophomore telecommunications major, said he anticipates using the app to request his absentee ballot before the election so he didn’t have to drive three hours home. “It’s not easy to go all the way home to vote,” Shank said. “This app seems like a great way for students to get their voices heard in local legislation, whether it’s in Muncie or in their hometown.” In addition to requesting absentee ballots, Indiana residents can also use the app to change the name of individual voter registration records, or change the address on their voter registration record. A driver’s license or state ID number is needed to register to vote using the app. Anyone who has moved or changed their name will need to update their voting information. Apple users can access the application via the app store, and Android users can access the application via the mobile store by searching “Indiana Voters.” Hoosiers can also register online at indianavoters.com or at the local county clerk’s office or Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Eligible citizens older than 18 may register to vote, and Indiana residents have until Oct. 5 to register for the Nov. 3 election.

“We had to remodel the entire bar. We didn’t remodel just because we wanted to remodel, … but it needed remodeled so we could have a place to put all the liquor ... [and] all the martini glasses and champagne glasses and wine glasses,” Wise said. All in all, Wise said they spent about $350,000 this summer, completely redesigning the interior, purchasing the liquor license and the supplies for serving liquor and losing capital when they closed for a week to undergo construction. Wise said even with the expense, he’s pleased that it’s all come together. “It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long, long time, and I’m so happy that it finally came through,” Wise said. “[The restaurant] just needed a face lift, so when I found out that we could get a liquor license … and we could do a face lift at the same time, everything came together at the perfect intersection.”

Scotty’s Brewhouse recently secured its liquor license and is hoping to be able to start serving liquor by next month. The current alcohol menu is limited to just beer and wine.
Scotty’s Brewhouse President of Operations John Benjamin said the time was right to remodel. The restaurant will be celebrating its 20th anniversary next year. “It was time to update the restaurant … it’s a new look for all of the Scotty’s locations,” Benjamin said. “I think it’s a great look with an industrial warehouse feel.” Wise said he doesn’t like to follow the crowd with the food he offers his customers, and now he’s excited to offer unique drinks to his customers in Muncie. He said they will have four different margarita versions. “We try to be unique and we try to be a trendsetter and we try to look at what
is popular in the industry, and so Muncie and Ball State have been missing out on that,” Wise said. “They’ve seen it in our food, but they haven’t really seen it in our cocktails that we serve, and we have a lot of fun with them, … so I think it’s really going to put that diversity on our menu.” Benjamin said he’s already heard positive reactions to the remodel, and adding the liquor license along with updated staff training will help the restaurant stay around for a long time. “We’ve been here 19 years and want to be here another 20 years,” Benjamin said. “It’s a real unique restaurant — who else serves both tater tots and waffle fries?”

‘I wanted everyone to feel that’ Student hosts Pure Romance parties in dorm room to educate, empower guests on products
|
MILLER KERN LIFESTYLE REPORTER mskern@bsu.edu
Morgan Smotherman wasn’t comfortable with the concept of sex, at least not when she started college. She didn’t want to talk about it and thought it was disgusting. “We’re taught what sex is, but we’re not taught pleasure,” she said. That idea drove Smotherman, a sophomore psychology and women and gender studies major, to explore a sexuality psychology class. During the semester, a Pure Romance representative visited to talk about the company. Pure Romance sells products to people in their own homes, similar to Pampered Chef and Mary Kay. However, instead of selling cooking products or makeup, Pure Romance focuses on sex toys and related products. Smotherman left her first Pure Romance presentation feeling compelled to join the company. “I felt empowered being taught all these new things,
and I wanted everyone to feel that,” Smotherman said. Pure Romance’s main objective is to empower women and give them a safe environment to learn about sexual health, according to its website. Smotherman took the business card of the Pure Romance presenter, Falisha Jean Lewis, and contacted her about becoming a Pure Romance consultant. Lewis then became Smotherman’s “sponsor mom” and currently helps her with anything she needs for the company. Lewis became involved with Pure Romance when she was a student at Ball State working for a day care. Some of her coworkers invited her to attend a Pure Romance party with them. Considering her role as a child caretaker, Lewis’s main thought about going to the party was, “Oh my gosh, we’re all going to get fired.” After sitting through the party, Lewis was in awe. It was nothing like she imagined it would be. She booked a party for herself that night. Lewis later became a con-
sultant for the company. Lewis said she believes Pure Romance’s message is especially important in a college environment because many college students have a fantasy-like idea of what sex is. In reality, she said, sex takes work. Eighty-seven percent of college students are sexually active, according to “The Sex Lives of College Students” by Sandra L. Caron, a family relations and human sexuality professor at the University of Maine. Smotherman said she wants college students to be comfortable with their sexual being and sexual self and “accept who they are and what they like because there’s different strokes for different folks.” She’s hosted five Pure Romance parties for girls in their dorm rooms. Clients are hard to come by in a college setting, she said. Many girls on campus are unfamiliar with Pure Romance and sometimes feel uncomfortable talking about sex. Smotherman tries to make sure they have a
comfortable experience. The parties are only for women over 18, although products are available for men as well. She starts the parties by playing games to get the women warmed up. She then shows them bath products before working her way up to sex toys. She makes her sales in individual shopping rooms so that every client is as comfortable as possible. Smotherman has come a long way since she began college. Sitting in on the sexuality psychology class and joining Pure Romance opened up her mind. “The coolest part of watching [Smotherman] is watching her transformation from being shy and unaware to being educated,” Lewis said. “Pure Romance opens up a world people didn’t know existed.”

POPE FRANCIS BRINGS MISSION OF LOVE, HOPE TO US JENNIFER DESILVA ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF HISTORY
In the evening of March 13, 2013, after the College of Cardinals elected Pope Francis, he appeared on the balcony to speak to the thousands collected in St. Peter’s Square, and millions watched and listened to broadcasts from afar. He spoke plainly and briefly, but his words prepared the world for his future actions, his political and social campaigns, and his arrival Tuesday in the United States as part of his Love is Our Mission tour. The cardinals went to the ends of the earth to choose a pope: Their candidate understood
the poverty, violence and instability that seemed so far from the Vatican. He would bring those concerns to the forefront of discussion and mobilize the world. Francis urged his audience: “Let us pray for the whole world that there might be a great sense of brotherhood.” This signaled his intent to tear down boundaries and create conversations between people who previously had been opponents. Unlike his recent predecessors, Francis appears eager to embrace diversity as a simple fact of modern life and a source of strength.
« The cardinals went to the ends
of the earth to choose a pope: Their candidate understood the poverty, violence and instability that seemed so far from the Vatican. » JENNIFER DESILVA, an associate professor of history Finally, Francis asked the world – not just Catholics – to pray for him. What might have seemed to be a religious gesture was the pope’s way of bringing all of us onside. The balcony speech set the stage for everyone to be “men
and women of goodwill” through personal actions in our own communities and through politics on the world stage. While Francis’s arrival in the United States occurs in the run-up to the next presidential election, at any other
time his message would not likely have changed. Americans of all faiths have an opportunity to show real leadership. “Love thy neighbor” is a nonpartisan and concrete platform for change that gets to the heart of Francis’s pontificate. At every point during the pope’s visit to the Americas, he has emphasized the importance of regular people and politicians working to improve the daily life and opportunities for low-income and vulnerable people. This message is not aimed just at religious folk. Nurturing workers makes excellent sense
amid debates over the future of the world’s largest economy and how it will support the growing population of pensioners. Finding a place for marginalized or disillusioned citizens in communities that support diversity is the key to healing a wounded nation. The United States has the resources, the manpower and the clout to lead by example. When Pope Francis speaks of a mission of love, he hopes that we will respond with acts of kindness and policies that embrace the “huddled masses” both within our 75004 borders and beyond.
