Chuong: You may have remember of what I told Leo about Christianity. In your country, you are permitted to do the opposite of what I told Leo about religion, especially the fact that you were a Spanish colony, so it's a traditional thing. Just know that you are Catholic since your population are predominantly Catholic, so how you practice Christianity will differ from Leo's Protestant practice of Christianity. One example is that as a world leader of a predominant Catholic former Spanish colony, you report to the Pope, who is from the Vatican City, and must remain strong ties with him and the Vatican City. Remember, the Pope is higher than you, even if you get along well with him. If you're looking for moral advice to guide your life, the Pope is your very best friend and resource.
Zachary: The American state of Maryland is predominantly Catholic, but per the First Amendment in our concept of separation of church and state, Catholic holidays are not state holidays. To make it short of how we do things in America, our government does not close on Christian holidays, but private businesses can. More of our private companies and stores do make arrangements with Christian employees to allow them to take time off to spend time with family and themselves on Christian holidays.
Gloria: Everybody loves holidays, and as a Venezuelan, you can preach the Gospel from public office even though constitutionally, we don't have a state religion but recognizes God as our creator. Remember, the Pope is your resource.
Juno: So in terms of internal policies about religion, Lazaro can do the opposite of what Leo is only allowed to do, with the difference of Venezuela being predominantly Catholic whereas in America, it's Protestant.
Gloria: Sounds about right.

Gloria: Sounds about right.
Lazaro: Those thoughts did cross my mind. But I do feel that the holidays should remain.
Leo: I think that for you, this was the right decision. Still, don't forget about what they said about the Pope. I had the pleasure of meeting the Pope once, but that was more to do with keeping him safe from the forces of evil.
Lazaro: Still, that was thrilling, I hope.
Leo: It is. Not just anybody gets to be the Pope.
Lazaro: No.
Leo: Still, we wish you all the best and send our prayers to you.
Lazaro: Thank you. I need all the prayers I can get. I wasn't prepared for this position. Then again, that's how you won the office.
Leo: I did. I didn't even want the job at the start because there were concerns I'd snap again. Ironically, being President of the United States has so far resulted in some of the calmest years of my lifetime.
