"I was frankly taken aback at how savvy he was," said Stephen Schneck, the director of the Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies at the Catholic University of America.

In other words, the Pope is not against the market, he just wants it to be used in ways that promote justice and stewardship. Stephen Schneck of the Catholic University of America has described the Pope's view this way: "The common good sets the principles and the markets should be organized to support these principles." As it turns out, that also describes the market-based approach that my organization, Environmental Defense Fund, has advocated for three decades.

But the White House meeting may be one of the least important of the visit, said Stephen Schneck, director of the Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies at the Catholic University of America. His meetings with those at the margins of society -prisoners in Philadelphia and clients of Catholic Charities in Washington - are more central to his mission to the United States, he said.
"I'm glad he's meeting with the president," Schneck said. "There are important things to talk about. But he's not here to advance legislation on climate change. He's here to advance the Gospel."

Schneck, director of the Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies at the Catholic University of America. "The U.S. is a central figure in so many of these issues he's passionate about.

Stephen Schneck von der Catholic University in Washington dämpft allerdings Erwartungen auf zu viel Harmonie zwischen den beiden und verweist darauf, dass Papst Franziskus in kein politisches Raster passt.

"Well, I think first of all he's coming as a pastor, and we can't forget that. But I suspect what he'll do when he's here is he's going to use the occasion to prick the American conscience. I think that he's going to reach out and try to call America to realize that with all of our blessings come responsibilities. I think that he's going to call us to recognize the moral dimension of those responsibilities."

"Essentially, the president can't talk about any specific policy except for maybe some foreign policy areas, like concern about the Syrian migration and refugee issue.
