Welcome to the No Spin News Weekend Edition.

Well, as I reported last week, I went down to South Florida to give a speech to a Catholic church,

and this was a book way, way before the Trump PopePobleo controversy.

And I walked into the hall at St. Edward's Basilica in Palm Beach.

I didn't know what to expect.

And that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. It was pretty calm. Nobody was angry. People were confused a bit,

and that's where I come in. But there wasn't a vibe in the air, somebody who did something wrong, or I'm preferring this person over that

person. The crowd was traditional. I wouldn't say conservative. It wasn't a MAGA crowd.

It was one guy with a MAGA hat. Okay? One, about 500.

And the crowd was churchgoers, people who have an association with St. Edwards,

but not a political crowd.

I didn't pick that up at all

because it was an extensive Q&A

after my opening remarks.

And it wasn't like, oh, how can he do this or how can this guy do that or how can Trump say this or how can Pope Leone?

It wasn't like that at all.

It was basically what the deuce is happening in a very calm way.

And it were more women than men at the event

because it was in the morning. I would say confusion. There was some confusion in the room.

And of course, everybody wanted to know what the likely outcome of the Iranian conflict

will be. And of course, I don't know. Only Jesus knows or God or whatever you want to classify

it as because I don't know what's going to happen there. I can give you odds.
