violence clearly. the mishandling of the florabelle reece case by the commissioner, good -- the ray rice case by roger goddell, the commissioner, is an indicator that we are not seeing leadership in the n.f.l. from the top on a crucial issue of violence against women. >> some fans say they'll boycott the n.f.l. until they see changes, with alan saying: . >> and spooky writes: >> what is that, spooky. it is the most popular game on the planet. it will be interesting to watch this over the next couple of months so see if this gains attraction. thank you. >> the pope challenged catholic tradition, marrying couples living toot. one had a grown child. the move is the latest shift in

the church under pope francis. we have more on this. >> pope francis has done a lot to soften the image of the church, and has become popular. some say his changes are not radical enough. others say they go too far. >> reporter: by uniting these couples, pope francis broke a taboo, marrying men and women living together before marriage. one couple had a child outside marriage. both sins, according to catholic doctrine. the weddings are the latest headlines that the pope made, challenging tradition, and changing the church's image. last year the church was criticized for being obsessed over abortion, birth control and gay marriage. >> that was a shocker, especially for the american catholic bishops who had had been obsessing. i think some. bishops are confused, some of the clergy are confused and this

will limit the impact that he's had. he's had a lot of influence. a poll found that more than eight in 10 american catholics viewed the pontiff favourably. 7 in 10 say he is a major change in direction and most say it's for the better. >> he's trying to reach people where they are at. the church never wants to preclude people from membership. >> the changes began after the pope was elected 18 months ago. with the emphasis on simplicity. he shunned the papal apartments to live in a boarding house. >> inside the santa marta i lead a normal life. i work, rest and chat with people. >> he visited a brazilian slum and kissed the feet of inmates at an italian juvenile detention center. this is a change of tone showing the catholic church is les concerned with sin and sex and

more concerned about compassion. >> he doesn't want the church to be a nagging parent. but someone who embraces people. he's rebranding us. >> of course, some catholics say the pope's changes have not gone far enough, he's moving too slowly in dealing with the clerical sexual abuse scandal. others want him to let married women and men be ordained as priests. >> that's a point of debate. >> and will continue to be. >> thank you. coming up, microsoft spending more than two billion on a company that makes video games, we'll mind out what makes it valuable. then it's "real money" with ali velshi. . >> coming up, the most powerful antitax voice in america tells me how he would overhaul the tax code. what is about to become the biggest public offering and history. i'll cut through the hype to tell you whether alibaba is

people $2.5 billion, that's how much microsoft agreed to pay to buy the swedish company that makes "minecraft," it's a poppure lar game. the goal is to bof up their gaming -- beef up their gaming decision. jacob ward joins us. we are seeing huge deals involving video games. "minecraft" has been around for a long time. what is the appeal and value? >> it's an unusual video game product. it doesn't abide by the conventional things that you and i say associate with video game. it's not glitzy, it's full of pitch lated '80s style injury. violence is not the point. it's almost about building, and people just go crazy for this kind of self you can build on this. the internet is full of insane

creations. people have created nutso themes, there's a full-size space shuttle. you have to imagine that each pixel has to be created by hand. one guy built a system of train rides that takes you through the "minecraft" landscape. it took him two months of 24 hour construction to do this. and 30 minutes to cross the landscape in it. another created an - or city that you can move through. there's a collection of these. the kind of massive obsessive compulsive behaviour, the addictive quality is unrivalled. >> someone telling you anything you don't know, there's self games in the portfolio. xbox, worth $20 billion, why is "minecraft" worth so much to them? >> everyone right now is panicked about the future of video game. used to be you could blow your money on the video games, the

ones that run on 360. nine out of 10 games would flop, the 10th would be a block buster. all the economics are mixed up, we are playing across the consoles, mobile devices and microsoft is worried about the future of the system. there has been other massive movements. amazon bought twitch. you can watch people play games. and facebook bought the oculus virtual reality rift system. a pair of goggles letting you move through the video games as if you are moving through your own room. microsoft is buying $100 million plus users. 14% brought the game. it's a very, very loyal and hopefully they thing cruel
