>> half a million people anxiously awaiting pope francis' arrival in philadelphia. concert underway right now ahead of the papal parade on the benjamin franklin parkway in about an hour. fantastic music. just incredible to watch this all unfold today. hello, everyone. i'm kelly wright. welcome to fox news' live coverage of pope francis in america. >> breath taking today. hello, i'm uma pemmaraju. the holy father is on the final leg of his trip to america. for him, this last stop in philadelphia is the main event. the catholic church's world festival of families. laura angle is live on the

parkway which is packed for this much anticipated event. laura? >> reporter: it is indeed. this international celebration, as you mentioned, has officially been. we have been listening to sound checks over the last few hours, but here we stand hearing these heavenly voices, the excitement is building and whether you are watching this on fox news, if you are lucky enough to make it here to philadelphia, if you're listening on radio, history is unfolding before all of us now as the people of philadelphia are celebrating this historic moment in their city's history, the city of brotherly love, it's just filled with a sea of faces, with smiles, of holding their nation's flag, coming here to celebrate the pope's message and we are on a count cans down for the pope's arrival. all of the action is about to unfold and where you can see our first performer singing as you

can hear. 5,000 people descended on the benjamin franklin parkway and in this area, to see this happen today. throngs of people, six families have been chosen to go up on stage to be with the pope from six different nations. we will not be able to hear the pope speak with these families. but we will all certainly be witness to what happens on the stage and speaking of before all of this unfolded today, what we saw happen at the independence mall, the celebration there with that historic speech on immigration and religious freedom, speaking pointedly to america's large hispanic population and recent immigrants population, telling them not to be discouraged by challenges they face and telling them not to be ashamed of their tradition, to not forget the lessons learned from elders, which is something the pope says

can bring enrichment to america. the family fully alive. love is our mission. that is the pope's message and tonight we will be hearing from an incredible array with a festival of families, sister sledge, aretha franklin and more here on the stage behind me. we'll bring it to you here from this front row seat here in philadelphia. back to you. >> thank you very much. let's listen to this young lady sing. she's 15-year-old, jackie evancho. what an incredible voice. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> i love this song. >> i love it, too. it's a great song. she is an incredible talent. i tell you, america is so, so fortunate to be blessed with so much talent creatively and articly and politically. certainly spiritually because we have the pontiff visiting the united states of america descending on independence hall where it all began for this nation. >> absolutely. and the nation of immigrants and stressing those themes throughout this visit about immigrants and staying true to your religious beliefs and knowing that freedom means that

you should still hold on to your religious identity, religious beliefs and go into public service and if you do, it's okay to maintain your religious identity. >> he's not afraid to talk about that american dream. joining us to talk more about this is greg burke, the senior advisor for communications at the vatican. a former fox news correspondent. good to see you. how would you describe this day? >> kelly, feels like the old days. >> yeah, it does. >> feels like saturday in rome. one more great day, kelly. they showed a scene of the pope kiss ago boy with cerebral palsy when he got out in philadelphia and showing that really tender side of the pope which he's always talking about the tenderness of god and god's love for us. god loves you, god forgives you. the compassion of sharing that love that we can all do that. that certainly on the spiritual side and there is a lot of spiritual here. the talk was quite strong. i was quite interested in the

religious liberty, how much it sounded like archbishop shapu and what he has been saying. he wrote a book about religious liberty and the fear that religion was being pushed out of the public square. pope talked about freedom of religion being not only the ability to worship, but also to follow your conscience and to act on it. so it was quite strong in that sense. but it's interesting that neville i can't is not getting short tripped. i think from the vatican's point of view, there was a certain amount of concern that even though philadelphia was the main reason the pope was coming here, that with congress and with the u.n. competing that somehow philadelphia would be forgotten. it clearly has not been. >> greg, it's our understanding that this is the real reason why he came here, to speak to the festival of families, to talk to them about the importance of pointing a family, keeping it together. but also talked about the family of man. we've heard him talk a lot about the human fraternity and then he

discussed globalization and if you would, explain exactly what he meant by globalization. >> he went off the cuff. that's the great thing when the pope gives a talk in spanish or in italian, he can go off the cuff and he often does. and the most lengthy area in which he did in this talk here was on globealization and he said it can be a good thing. it can be a bad thing. it's a bad thing if it's hike a home amongen jays process. if everybody everyone maintains the same thing -- the culture of encounter, bringing people together. to the extents it can do that, and yet people maintaining their own identity as individuals and as people, he said that's a great thing. >> and while he did all this and got really tough about immigration and the catholic church's stance on this, what would have -- one would have to

say he did it with love. >> the attitude is always that. and he sometimes is criticized for this. but the individual, the person before you, you have to treat with respect. no matter how much they may disagree with you, you have to treat with respect. basically we go back to the dignity of every human being, whichfrom the unborn to the elderly, but also our neighbors and our co-workers and everybody else next door. and you see that in the pope and how he deals with each person. >> you know, without quoting scripture, he echoed what christ would have said in matthew 25, whatsoever you do to the least of these attention, that you've done unto me. >> kelly, you've done your homework because that's one of the things the pope often tells people, and especially young people. he said read matthew 25. it's a great guide for your life. >> one other thing. he talked about to the immigrants, basically telling them that you have to be responsible as citizens. you have to remember and respect

the values that you were taught at home and represent those same values here in america to enrich this new country that many immigrants are coming to. >> yeah. i think it was a great middle ground of a welcoming for the immigrants and yet at the same time, saying hey, you've got to be responsible citizens, which obviously made you, you follow the law, you become good citizens, perhaps of the new country you've come into, while maintaining your identity. but the responsibility. he's very big on that as individuals and as people that we maintain that. >> greg, one other thing, you were talking about how the pope pointed out the unborn, as well as those who are disenfranchised. we just talked about the least of these. but the pope seems to get it right every time when he quotes from his heart and from scripture and i'm reminded of proverbs 31:8-10, speak out on

behalf of the voiceless. he was basically saying to america, government leaders, political leaders, spiritual leaders, speak out on behalf of those who don't have a voice. >> he repeated a line he often has right along that line, saying a society basically will be judged or its worth depends on how it treats the weakest and the most vulnerable people in that society. >> you want to give us a ballpark estimate of what he might say later before he leaves? >> i think you're going -- the short answer is no, kelly. the long answer is i don't think you'll see great surprise, but you will see francis at his best because he's with people. he's energized and he's ready to go. >> i think he's giving a lot of people a lot to think on and great to talk about. great to see you. >> thank you.

>> while we continue to keep close watch on the festivities taking place in philadelphia, we're also going to bring in some other stories making news right now. and turning to the presidential sweepstakes, gop presidential contender ted cruz getting a big boost to campaign. straw poll results for the value voters summit in washington are now out and it looks like cruz comes out on top with 35% of the vote. ben carson follows with 18%. frontrunner donald trump finishing in fifth place with only 5%. joining us now is molly henneberg standing by in our dc news room with more. molly? >> reporter: hi. this is the third year in a row that senator cruz has won the values voter summit straw poll. that's a gathering of social and religious conservatives. meanwhile, a busy day in iowa and new hampshire for democratic and republican presidential candidates today. senator cruz for one opened his first campaign office in issue bandale, iowa this morning. cruz, who has made no secret that he's running a, quote,

frugal campaign, waited to open an office in the state until after labor day. today he urged supporters to start thinking and planning for next year's caucus day. >> every one of you is a political entrepreneur. you have a circle of friends, you have a circle of family. you have a circle of colleagues. we're going to try to give you all the tools you can to empower you, energize you, to help make it easy. but every one of you can wake up and say, all right. who can i get to show up? >> cruz may have won the straw poll today, but in a new fox news poll out this week, donald trump is leading the pack, 26%. that's up 1% from a month ago. ben carson in second place with 18%. that's up six points from a months ago. carly fiorina and marco rubio tied with 9% and ted cruz, one point hyped them. on the democratic side, hillary clinton is still at the top of

the list with 44%. but that's down five points from august. bernie sanders stays even with where he was in august, 30%. and vice president joe biden, who is not in the race at this point is in third with 18%. that's up eight points from august. we expect to see bernie sanders on the campaign trail today. in fact, i believe he's already taken to the microphone at his first events in des moines, iowa. clinton is in new york today. she will be at a fund-raiser tonight. to give you a sense of how busy the candidates are today, there are 15 political events between sanders and the gop candidates in iowa and new hampshire today. >> they sure are keeping a packed schedule. thank you very much. house speaker john boehner announcing his plan to resign from congress yesterday, saying he'll step down from his post at the end of october. citing turbulence within the republican party after a number of tea party conservatives

threatened to oust him from that post. now there is a mad dash to fill the most powerful position in the house. garrett teny has the story from washington. >> reporter: john boehner made his announcement, lawmakers have been scrambling to take his spot as speaker of the house. boehner's resignation highlights the currents divide among republicans in congress as conservative members are fighting for more conservative leadership. one congressman tells us it's going to be a barn burner of an election. the currents favorite is house majority kevin mccarthy. other possible candidates for speaker or other leadership positions include majority whip steve scalise, kathy mcmorris rogers and congressman peter ross cam, jeb hensarling and tom price. many of the candidates are trying to bolster their support among conservatives. >> just a few minutes ago, speaker boehner announced that he will be resigning.

[ cheering ] >> the time has come to turn the page. the time has come to turn the page and allow a new generation of leadership in this country. >> reporter: it's significant to point out in the most recent fox news poll, 62% of republican primary voters said they feel betrayed by their party. 66% said the republican majority in congress have failed to do all they could to block or reverse president obama's agenda. while the jockeying for leadership positions plays out, congress is also still facing the possibility of a government shutdown if no budget is passed by thursday. in washington, garrett teny, fox news. >> all right. thank you very much. later in the hour, fox news contributor susan estridge will join us to handicap the race to replace boehner. the u.s. is talking to iran about more than just a nuclear agreement. secretary of state john kerry hoping that open dialogue can help ease the conflict overseas. >> the pope today reminding people religious liberty is

threatened around the world and right now, now an american pastor is in an iranian prison because of his beliefs. today marks his third year in captivity. we'll speak to the wife of that pastor.

misswill turn anan asphalt parking lot

into a new neighborhood for san franciscans. a vote for "yes" on "d" is definitely a vote for more parks and open space. a vote on proposition "d" is a vote for jobs. campos: no one is being displaced. it's 40% affordable units near the waterfront for regular people. this is just a win-win for our city. i'm behind it 100%. voting yes on "d" is so helpful to so many families in our city.

well, we just received some new video coming in of the pope from inside the pope mobile. take a look at this as he's greeting the throngs of people as he rides through philadelphia on his way to independence square where he spoke and you can see how he's viewing the crowds and the response. let's listen. [ cheering ] this is the pope's perspective, if you will, of him entering into the city of brotherly love on his way to independence hall, the place -- look at that. kissing the babies, sending a message with that as well about his respect and love for the unborn. and look at the people as he's seeing them as he goes through.

they're greeting him. wow. it's got to make a pope feel good. this developing story, the united states cracking open the door with iran about the crisis taking place right now in syria and yemen. at today's meeting of the united nations general assembly, secretary of state john kerry had a word with iran's foreign minister raising concerns about the fighting and the instability in the middle east. and later said that he expects discussions to start next week. secretary kerry also bringing up the issue of the americans who are being detained or missing in iran. for irrelevant reason's part, their foreign minister is saying he's willing to discuss the issues, but as his primary focus remains the implementation of the nuclear agreement. the death toll rising after that stampede outside the holy

city of mecca. saudi officials now say nearly 800 people were killed in the horrific scene and nearly 1,000 more people were injured. many were trampled when two massive crowds came together on a narrow street. the pilgrimage draws about two million people from around the world every year. iran accuses saudi arabia of mismanaging the crowds by blocking a road to allow for a a royal convoy. pope francis as we have been reporting, bringing a message of compassion and religious tolerance. during his visit to the u.s., while today marks three years since an american pastor was thrown into an iranian jail, because of his beliefs, he was arrested in 2012 accused of promoting christianity and threatening the national security of iran. he received an eight-year sentence, but now he's being threatened with additional charges and more prison time of the the situation becomes even more dire with reports of physical abuse. the pastor's wife is leading the

charge to free him. she's joining us along with a representative from the center for law and justice. welcome to both of you. i know this is a very, very difficult day for you. this day marks the third anniversary of your husband's imprisonment. and you are holding prayer vigils around the country and around the world to remember him and to think about the sacrifice that he's making right now in that prison, a place where he does not belong certainly. he was in iran to help build an orphan age. he was there for peaceful purposes and yet, still today we are learning more news about additional charges and continued abuse. what can you tell us about his situation right now? >> well, today was very difficult. i just got back from prayer

vigil in boise with my kids. i just couldn't imagine having to do this prayer vigil again. i was hoping after i met with the president in january that he would be out. it's been difficult. he's had attack after attack, even after the deal has been made. his situation has gotten worse. i'm not getting any answers from state department or their confidence that he will be out any time soon. not only that, ease been tased and attacked again, a few days ago and told that he would get additional sentences. his medical condition is horrible and it's pretty -- it's been a long journey, but doesn't seem to be nearing the ends. >> when you mention the deal being done, you're referring to the nuclear agreement. you were hoping that there would be some movement, some hope that perhaps relations between the two countries would be thawed a bit so that iran could move forward in a positive way to show good faith about its -- in

the way of dealing with the american prisoners. at this point, though, do you have any reason to believe that the american government is doing all that it can to free your husband? >> no. we've heard promises from the iranian president saying oh, yes, we want to release him or let's talk about it. we've heard promises from our own government, but they're not on american soil yet. actually their situation is getting worse. my husband is continually being attacked. again a few days ago he was attacked and told by iranian officials he will get additional charges. i was told also by our government officials that they were hoping iran would act in good faith and release him, but they were wrong. ask they're not giving me any hope that they can get him out any time soon. that's why me and the aclj, we said before they sat down, the nuclear agreement, we should have demanded the release of the americans or even asked, do not walk away from the table without

having first secured the release of my husband and the other americans. but that happened. iran is not interested to release them. >> if it's absolutely outrageous to so many people that this deal took place without any type of concession about the iranian hostages, the four americans in captivity. there have been some unconfirmed reports that the white house may be working hyped the -- behind the scenes with the vatican to try and secure this release in some back room somewhere. >> sure. i don't think it's a coincidence that we're marking this third anniversary. the pope is here who represents the world wide, the catholic church. but also has unique relationships, the holy see has unique relationships with iran since the 1950s, continuing through the islamic revolution there and they continue to have a presence. so there is work that can be done between the white house, the holy see, calling on others in the international community.

just this week, 67 parliamentians from over 50 different countries around the world signed a letter to iran speaker of their parliament calling for saeed's release. attorneys have met with the u.s. ambassador to the united nations, samantha powers. even though this nuclear deal and it is not acceptable that we left americans behind. we have to deal with reality. the reality is as we've said, saeed's situation, just to set the stage for everyone, at the 70th annual united nations general assembly, the week that the iranian president arrives in the united states, the pope is in the united states, our president hosting world leaders, they'll be addressing world leaders next week, seaad was taken by iranian government security forces and tasered the day before the iranian president left to come to the united states. that is unacceptable. and the american government, it's their responsibility of the they've got the cross the table

relationship. secretary kerry is going to be meeting with those iranian diplomats. it is the u.s. responsibility, our government and president obama's to get these americans home and that includes saeed and this unfortunate anniversary three years he's in iran because he's a christian. >> absolutely. our hearts go out to your family. we have been following this story very closely. we will continue to follow it. we pray for your family. this is obviously an untenable situation and we pray that your husband is going to stay safe and we will continue to check in with you and all the best to both of you and keep fighting the good faith. >> thank you for your prayers. thank you. the scramble is underway on the hill. who will pick up the speaker's gavel after the surprising resignation of john boehner? get a closer look at the pool and the challenges the new speaker of the house will face. and we are also live along the benjamin franklin parkway in philadelphia where the papal parade is set to begin in less

than an hour just ahead of the festival of families.

welcome back, everybody. at this moment that's comedian jim gaffigan on the stage there entertaining thousands of people who are awaiting the papal parade set to begin on the benjamin franklin parkway. after the parade, the holy father will give remarks to about a half million people who are gathered at the catholic church world festival of families. laura ingle is joining us live from the events in philadelphia. >> reporter: hey, laura. >> hi. hello. pilgrims as we've been reporting, have come from all over the planet to be here in philadelphia for the historic moment for the festival of families. you mentioned jim gaffigan is up

on stage behind me. he's getting the crowd warmed up. we've already had some spectacular musical performances. we want to show you what's happening here behind us. we have got the crowd filling in to these seats and we know that it's going to be packed. just behind our cameras is the benjamin franklin parkway which has been filled with hundreds of thousands of people who have come here to see the pope and his message and we are expected to see the pope take another lap in his motorcade. first in his fiat and then transfer to the popemobile where he will parade down the benjamin franklin parkway and then if around city hall and back up to where we are now where he will take the stage to have a seat on that stage to listen to music and hear if six families chosen by world meeting of families. he's going to hear their stories. these are family challenges, of their joy. he will offer remarks from the stage, which is set just beyond the famous steps of

philadelphia's museum of art, made famous by the movie, rocky. a short while ago, pope francis gave his much anticipated speech at independence mall where he spoke on immigration and religious freedom. crowds enthralled. >> listening to his words of compassion and hope, thanking all, whatever their religion, ho have sought to serve the goffed peace by building -- god of peace by building cities of brotherly love. i spoke with one sister who controversial here with her church from nashville, tennessee, who said she was most looking forward to hearing the pope's message of mercy and love. getting her wish fulfilled here today as she takes her seat along with so many others as we anticipate the festival of families which is set to begin after the pope takes a ride around here. aretha franklin, sister sledge, they'll all be here and so will you if you keep it here on fox. >> should be quite a concert indeed. thank you very much. back to politics now, a mad dash to fill the top spot in the

house after speaker john boehner suddenly announces he will be leaving congress next month. boehner citing pressure from both sides of a divided republican party. now the question is who will fill the gap? we will ask fox news contributor susan estridge. good to see you as always. >> good to see you. >> let's get back to the apology. he said his prayer as he normally does and said, i decided this was the day. and he started singing zipitty do da. but boehner is out. >> you know, it's really kind of stunning. it's a big surprise and yet it's clearly been years in the making. you've got this split within the republican party and i think establishment republicans are probably as nervous as democrats are joyous in a way that john boehner wasn't conservative enough. here is a guy who was a true

conservative, deeply held value, a man of real strong beliefs. >> absolutely. >> and the idea that he's not conservative enough really leaves a lot of us shaking our heads. >> 25 years he has served and many of those who initially heard him give that retirement basically, some of them were almost in tears themselves because they're thinking, wow. what do we do next? what does the gop do next? >> well, i guess what they'll do next is try to find a leader who is more conservative than john boehner. >> who might that be? >> whoever that leader is -- i don't know. kevin mccarthy. he's getting a lot of talk. he's a californiaian. he's very conservative. i have to be honest, kelly, i don't have a clear insight into the competition among the top republicans. i can only say that again, whoever gets that job, you would

have said john boehner was very conservative and just the kind of guy who you would expect the right wing republicans would embrace. >> do you think this was a selfless act on behalf of john boehner to step away from this? >> yes, i do. i actually do because kelly, he could have gotten reelected with democratic support. he could have retained the speakership. but he would have had to turn to the democrats to give him the needed support and he's enough of a party man, real party man and a party loyalist that he wouldn't do that. it's really about, it seems to me, he knew if he stayed, they'd have to close the government down over planned parenthood, not a popular position for a general election, not a popular position in most of the country. and now people are saying, well, they got rid of boehner. maybe they don't have to close the government down over planned parenthood, which is kind of surprising. last week that was an article of faith. but faith changes, i guess.

>> susan, there is a saying that my mother used to say, be careful what you pray for. you might get it. we'll see what happens here. >> yep. >> all right. >> your mother and mine. >> all right. good to see you. don't forget you can read her syndicated column in newspapers across the country every wednesday and friday. we're watching and waiting for pope francis to make his way to the festival of families event in philadelphia. as many as a half million people are already in place ready for the parade scheduled to start in just moments.

>> welcome back. as we've been reporting, the papal parade about to get underway. we're minutes away from the procession down ben franklin parkway where pope francis will address roughly a half million pilgrims. fox news contributor father

jonathan morris is joining us now. you have been doing an amazing job all day keeping us covered and giving us insight into this pope and the message that he's been bringing us throughout this visit. i thought today's speech was fascinate not guilty that one of the things he mentioned was he stresses the human rights of both immigrants and the unborn, bringing these two subjects together over the common thread. i thought that was quite profound in this particular speech. >> it is. i think his speech really began as he was pulling you up -- before he ban speaking because he was stopping and kissing the babies and he kept motioning for them, come over, because i think he has decided that we can talk about abortion as a purely intellectual thing and we can make it illegal, which i would be in favor of, i would guess the pope would be, too. but that doesn't necessarily seem to be solving the issue. i think he's taking a different

approach. he's saying look at this beautiful baby. look at this beautiful baby. i know how hard it is. i know you mothers who are struggling, but look at the baby. look at the baby. or as he did in cuba, he told all the mothers who were pregnant, he said how many of you are pregnant? take your hands and put them on your stomach and say i will protect you. it's a very different approach. that's really i think how he began his speech and then he went right into human rights and he gave a really deep philosophical and american underpinning for his proposition that religious liberty was not just the freedom to worship in a mosque, in a temple, in a churn, but to live that faith out in practice. then thirdly, he went off script and he started saying that this globalization, it shouldn't be making everybody the same. a lot of i think conservatives are rightly afraid that the u.n. or the white house will dictate

some sort of global world governance. he's saying no, that's not it. finally he spoke to the immigrants. one thing he said that i don't think a lot of people are talking about, he said to the immigrants after praising them and saying, don't be ashamed of who you are, he said now be responsible citizens and contribute to society. he went off text once again and said, be responsible citizens. that is charged with a lot of politics as well. i think beautiful politics. >> it is very much with citizenship. >> and also responsibility. it's not just being here and using somebody else's house. >> and not taking a handout. >> that's right. >> when do you that, when you act responsible and accountable, remembering the values you were taught at home, it enables you to renew and bring something good to the country you're now living in. >> didn't you say to me earlier, kelly, when you're at somebody else's height, remember what your mama taught you?

>> right. >> i think that's exactly right. and that's what pope francis was saying is look at the benefits that you're receiving. now be responsible citizens. that's also an invitation to legality, finding the right path toward legality and that's part of being a responsible citizen. >> americans need to remember to avoid repeating past mistakes in a very general sense, but people of all faith should come together and call for respect and the dignity of others, that he was calling on all faiths to come together under the spirit of cooperation, which i find very interesting and probably refreshing coming from the pontiff because many people believe that the pontiff can be very singularly directed about his church and he's calling on people of all faiths to act responsibly. >> what he said to congress, i think it's very much what you're saying here. he just repeated the goldsen rule. do unto others what you would

have them do unto you. that got one of the biggest, biggest applauses. he also said to congress right at the beginning, the land of the free, the home of the brave. here he is i think going right down the middle and saying, this is what we're called to. >> fantastic, yeah. >> we're going to take a pause here for just a moment and wait for the pope to arrive in just a moment. we will take a break and come back with much more after this. don't go away. same laugh. and since she's had moderate alzheimer's disease, i've discovered we have the same fighting spirit, too. that's why i asked her doctor about new once-a-day namzaric™. vo: new namzaric is approved for moderate to severe alzheimer's disease in patients who are currently taking, and can continue to take certain doses of both namenda and donepezil. new namzaric is the first and only treatment to combine 2 proven alzheimer's medicines test. test. test.

test. test. test. rrn namzaric does not change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, donepezil, piperidine or any of the ingredients in namzaric. before starting treatment, tell the doctor about any medical conditions they have... including heart or lung problems, seizures, stomach ulcers, bladder, kidney, or liver problems. tell the doctor if the patient will have any procedures involving anesthesia, which may cause muscle problems. other serious side effects may occur, including slow heartbeat and fainting; increased stomach acid, which may raise the chance of ulcers and bleeding; nausea and vomiting; difficulty passing urine, seizures, and worsening of lung problems. the most common side effects associated with namzaric are headache, diarrhea, dizziness, loss of appetite, and bruising. woman: mom and i share a lot of moments. and we're making the most of each one. vo: ask your doctor if new namzaric is right for your loved one.

>> we are moments away now from the start of the papal pap raid in the benjamin franklin parkway. following that parade pope francis will give a speech. hundreds of thousands of people are gaerthed there to greet the holy father. we'll bring in father johnathon morris who's been here a long time today. >> i am so happy to be be here and and watch what is happening and analyze it with you guys. >> what is remarkable. he touching and meeting with

people and kissing the number of babysit. the number of young people in the crowds. many people thought perhaps the catholic church was losing some of the vital energy with younger people and feeling like it was not connecting in a special way with that particular group. you are seeing so many coming forward and love and enthusiasm in their hearts with this gentleman who connects with the american audience. >> what they so in pope francis in a different way is his actions and symbols and his authtisity. look at our own political system. when donald trump speaks and in my opinion says crazy things. i am happy to have said it. the response to people. but he's speaking the truth.

he's saying what is on our minds. >> he is articulating. >> sometimes. it is just on what is his mind. whether you like the content or not he is saying something possible about the authtensity. bernie sanders there is a sense there. if that is a big jump to the pope. but there is value in authtisity itself. and then you have to get the content right. the authen tisity. they are rejecting the pure politics. based on that how would you describe the content of his messages. healing and reconciliation or division and rancor.
