On this episode of Newt's world this Easter Sunday I really want to introduce you to somebody

that Clistan I have grown to love and who we just think is a remarkable person. Joan Lewis.

I think you're going to find her fascinating. She was born and raised in the United States.

She attended St. Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana. Then she taught French for five years

the United States but that wasn't her future. So she moved to Rome and she began her career as a

journalist. In 1990 she was invited to work for the newly created Vatican Information Service

and the Holy See Press Office as the English language writer and editor. Then after representing

the Holy See at many United Nations conferences she moved to EWTN. Since 2005 she has served as EWTN's

Rome Bureau Chief. Through her many years she's been in the company of five popes. She's personally

met four of them. Since she got to know each other I can tell you there's no one more unique,

more engaging and frankly a little bit wacky than Joan Lewis. She's devoutly Catholic. She knows

everyone in Rome. I am pleased to welcome her as my guest.

John, would you just share with our listeners your story of baking cookies for the Pope?
