10:32 am

10:33 am
from where the food is being distributed. people have been coming here for hours and they've come from wide and far from people telling me that they've been in this key for 23 hours and people haven't eaten for days. you see the shove, the empty after the looting, the shop allowing only a certain amount of time. people are pending. banking, there's nothing left phase, no job. so money that hadn't been, you know, complex nothing. it is nothing least. so you came for nothing and nothing is the place we came to not be when we come out 3 days ago. is this the worst being was there was also never the violence and looting seems to be over for now. but the hunger and impact that it left in its wake is going to be felt for quite some time. pool is clear, our team thanks paula. you know, our take
10:34 am
a closer look at the turmoil which is engulfing the streets of south africa. i'm joined by osh off guard at the founder of champion south africa. shaw, thank you so much for joining us. is our thoughts and prayers, and our attention has been on south africa these past few days. as you've been going through these trials, you know, i want to ask you how divided right now are the people in the street? so is it as simple as duma versus ram opposes supporters? no, i think it's it's have too much to suggest that people are divided that we would think of the american football team on opposite sides of the fence out in the streets. i think for the, for the majority of people in africa, they are united in being south african. they are united in one thing works best for their families. they are united in wanting food. they are united in wanting jobs. they may be divided some of them to be divided in certain strategies, but by and large, they've been united by you may tell, okay, well,
10:35 am
what happened last week and we get to that 2nd, but i think overall, the country or 60000000 people is there are differences the wants is, but the general sense of, of a nation. one thing, what's best for the majority of the people of south africa for me remain. i love that message of optimism and i hope that is true. it looks like it could be true because i think that's what every good person wants, regardless of what kind for you're in. but what did we see then last week? where was this divide? what made people? cuz what i saw was a lot of people are angry on the streets, but then i saw this overwhelming ground over the weekend, or people angry at the people in the streets that were destroying the property and the businesses does that accurate? well, you know, we don't have a lot of time but, but in a nutshell, i mean the actual divide is with a ruling party, the african national congress, a party of nelson mandela, which is very topic because yesterday was international mandela day. once again, if he's party that appears to be, we're going to appear is divided and as
10:36 am
a result of these party being divided with the president and the full of president and all supporters between the 2 and the ruling party. then as an inability to lead, effectively this has been going on for over a decade. and that played out with the arrest of the former president put the russian, but in fact will contend to court. the corruption case is still going to be heard. right. and there were protests against him being arrested. the 1st president being a respite in a democratic south africa and the protest and full of interest. something else now read it is whether people opportunistic because of a poverty stricken. and it took advantage of the situation or whether they went inside cuz i don't really know the president of the country upfront saying that there was a clear attempt was he call it in sort of actually displayed on biased defense minister a couple of days later in fact, i mean, he's,
10:37 am
can you say there was an attack on the democracy of south africa, and therefore we need to defend our macos. you know, those are the big things that we haven't heard because the one thing, so that's because had a cell constitution. in fact, the will cause constitute we should traditionally great bank, great financial institutions. so we have no reason to be concerned that i would do mock. lucy has been oppressed in the 27 years. that's the democratic world. africa has been in existence. ok, so let's actually look at what was going on and the saying this weekend that he would go after those that did lute those that did destroy property and he would prosecute them. now i get it for 80 president, any country the rest of you going to have people that are unhappy with that? do you feel like that actually the folks as the current presence going to go through with his word and will there be repercussions for that? if people in some might say we were just expressing our anger at the situation being caused by the government, by what you're saying at content, the court,
10:38 am
not necessarily a full trial, has yet to be held. what? prosecute who so? so the 1st month is, if he said there's an insurrection, then you prosecute those who had to talk to the game, this all the interaction, and that's a playoff. and that is, is a political, the teacher. but if it's true, you have to play that. if you don't play daughter undermined the democratic system, it's the story about prosecuting the people who do to a devastated the city of data that we're talking about. thousands and thousands of people not cannot see that happening on the pictures. as i play out, as we talk now playing out, he's not going to prosecute the people, not at all. it's either the leadership if he believes that the link, but we have to prove the link. but the leadership in fight the people as part of the grant insurrection. now, we don't really know the truth because the prism itself is said that they were caught unawares. the penitent didn't know that. so there's lots of things, in fact,
10:39 am
this left them guessing. and therefore, less probably you and i also guessing in terms of what really happened in south africa a week ago. well, it's interesting distance similarities of some of the news of, as has happened here in the united states, is kind of replaying itself over in south africa. real quick for i let you go, do you think any of the events over the weekend will have an impact on the actual trial itself? it ever gets there of zoom or no idea which i think they're trying to go ahead as normal because that's what you would expect if we want to maintain an independent judiciary and democracy. we cannot play down to the point of being emotion. labounty, i think the most important question beyond the trial is what now for south africa? a country that's hosted around the world cup of people football cricket woke up and some of the major events in the family was accused that you would pick a link with with countries that are family stricken. what now for this country that
10:40 am
essentially still on the one hand she knew which country extreme an extreme poverty for me, the next question is, we talk about it, we dress when it comes to cold, the 19th the has to be because we dress in south africa to ensure that the majority of people of this country just as a fake in the democratic father. because the reality is, the 20th democracy, south africa township, which is called putting into locations as you would call it. and so that's because so that's a good topic, right? all those locations don't the black locations look just like they were 7 years ago . that is not an issue that obviously people feel like they obviously are economically stable. they take care of the, the land that they're in, such a delight to talk to you. you can tell your love and pride for the country that you live in, and we will chat again in the future. thanks for joining. thank you. investigation

10:45 am
most sacred traditions and a catholic church ceremony. we will explain it justification after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy frontier and let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk. oh right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese. is profitable to sell food. that is trinity and sugary and healthy and addicted. not at the individual level. it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that never changed,

10:47 am
10:48 am
the the business telling within the catholic church as a pope francis imposes restrictions on a traditional latin mass. so why the upper while r t corresponding latasha suite has more on why traditionalists are less than thrilled. so frances is restricting the celebration of lance and mass in an attempt to unite the church, but many catholics remain split over the decision. i live for us here any minute. 2 weeks after surgery that removed a portion of his colin pope francis resumed his weekly appearances from a vatican window sunday. well, the 84 year old sounded cheerful. one of his most recent decisions have brought about the division and the church. but his goal is to bring believers together just days before on friday put francis said he was restricting celebration of the lots and mass. this was the church. it's a standard form of worship until the 19th sixty's. all some conservative catholics are outraged by the decision. the pope believes the move will unify the church. the
10:49 am
pope said he made a quote from decision to immediately overturn from a rulings in 271888. that liberalize the availability of the mass celebrated before 1970. in a letter of the pope sure, the feeling he had for a need to intervene. now traditional mass celebration will come under the discretion of the diocese bishop, the bishop will also have authority over granting permission. who would like to celebrate the old mass? the bishop is to designate one or more locations where groups can gather to celebrate. however, it won't be allowed in parish churches document is also prohibiting and the erection of new personal parishes. supporters of the latin mass are calling the pope and restrictions harsh. however, supporters of the change agree, the church culture is holding tradition and customs above worship. and while there may be a separation of church and state in the us politics seem to play a role among american catholics. lots and mass is highly preferred among conservative catholics, while liberal catholics tend to favor contemporary styles of prayer. now,
10:50 am
when unifying the church as one body somewhere, calling for clarification on the new rules and how they should be implemented, reporting produce the choose and how she sweets, r t. to give us the 360 view of the pope's controversial decisions i'm joined now by ad martin present associates, please eagles, and tim gordon, author of catholic republic, y. america will perish without room. thanks for joining me. both. cam, since you're new, i'm going to, i'm going to 3rd 1st to you. i have to wonder why should church members or if they should be concerned by pope, for instance, is new decree. yeah, the sincerity of the pontiff is what's under question. in the wake of tradition on his custodial. if pope francis's sincerely concerned by the radical traditionalist who since the release of the notice or to me say the new mass in 1969. if he wants to curtail the schismatic attitude of the radical traditionalists,
10:51 am
he's not punishing them today because such schismatic. falk will just continue to celebrate the latin mass where and when they they deem to the ones that he's punishing that, prove that he's not being sincere. in the doling out of this punishment are the obedient catholics who will actually follow the dictates of holy mother church as to when and where they can celebrate the mass. it's. it's the primary concern that all of us have, he's not doing as he's saying he's doing, he's punishing the ones who are already in imperfect union with holy mother church . well, they say that you know, that talk to various catholics over the years. there's obviously a hard one, some pub, some are controversial than the other. hope francis is very controversial. ed as you're looking at this move right now, what pope francis is doing one is it unexpectedly considering he does come from the judge to it. when of the charge,
10:52 am
but to is it what is going to be the long term effect? besides just what we're dealing with today, what are you, what are you seeing? what are you concerned about about the future of the church with this order? well listen for most of the viewers of this program, their memory will include john paul, the 2nd for decades as a controversial figure. by the way, just not in the church. in the same way. he was controversial because he took on communism and took on poverty and all kinds of things. and then cardinal rab singer became the pope, was a short period of time. the problem was put francis in my estimation is he continually causes scandal. that's a term in the church. it means confusion amongst the faithful. what he did in this case, by the way, shouldn't be lost. it's just no small p politics. who he empowered to have more say on the life of the church, directly is the bishop in which diocese who now gets to say whether anyone gets to do the latin mass, any priest can say to mass. and the problem for many of us is that this pope has appointed some of the most liberal bishops all over the world. people who believe
10:53 am
in positions, especially on morality and politics, political morality that are really troubling on marriage, on abortion, of the thing. so this pub continues to confuse the faithful and what the long term impact will be. when we put in political terms, what branching or did that then put the pope at the time was sign an executive order that said anybody wants to say the latin mass, any priest can go ahead. what this pope did was change the executive order and say no, it has to be, we only if you ask your bishop, the point here is that's an inside game. people are watching our catholic. like what is this about? but catholics are confused and it's like when the pope said at one point, who am i to judge about homosexuality? and then a few years later he said gay marriage cannot be blessed because it's unnatural. these people p one side though, the rainbow flags are going off the vatican steps the next time they're condemning as a big it. and meanwhile, we have joe biden promoting abortion from the white house. and we have the catholic bishops uncertain about whether they should be able to say that he is morally
10:54 am
troubled, which he clearly is so that the legacy of this pope today pro francis is confusion . but in the end, i'm not sure this is going to matter. as my colleague points out, the people will really hate this are outside of the church. the others are in and frankly praying for better bishops and for the next pope to be more sympathetic. and as you hit them on the head, why i thought importantly cover the story right here because there is such a strong base. it involve politics, not only here in the united states, but around the world that the catholic church and those followers are behind. so it does have an impact and what is going on. i want to go back to you on tim, on this when are you worried about any other traditions or churches being alter, eradicated and how does this affect millennials? because obviously i think a lot of people are surprised right now. one of the biggest inundation of the catholic church are the young people who are actually embracing these kinds of traditions. so when you could use it and get them out there, kind of left back out there where they were before they came to the church, there is no small amount of resign tomorrow on the part of the,
10:55 am
the generation that gave us the nova, sorta me say, they thought that they were speaking on behalf as the box, popularly of all young people for evermore. it turns out young people, after the late sixties and early seventies, hate the kinds of changes that they made. young people, the eighty's, ninety's, 2000 want the tradition. and this makes men like pope francis and his cronies, the songs colon mafia, the group that gave us po francis in the last conclave of the cardinal it. very bitter. they're not happy about this. you also asked, what is the danger, what could be coming down the pike? the total abrogation of the latin mass, which i'm utterly happy to say, did not happen with to did see on a custodian, it just rolled back the positive changes made by benedict, the 16th, some more pontifical made by eagle eye and law. so the total abrogation is what we fear. it could be next. they essentially undid the inability of liberal bishops to
10:56 am
disallow the latin mass. and what could be next is total abrogation of the latin mass everywhere. that's what we fear. low young people love it, and that's i think i like the confusion. i don't want to toss it back to you on this and because you've worked with poses in the past, you know, understand how they go. a lot of concern said, you know, do you think this dramatic of a decision being now? do you think this might foreshadow the pope soon possible recent illness and surgery? these kind of putting in that last couple stabs you could to protocol that that he wants to get rid of. well, i look, i think anybody who tries to guess when popes are going to go off or either pass away or move on or lose a losing battle. i will say this, like any other administration and i, i'm catholic, i want to be clear, i revere the church and i love the church and for people that aren't catholic they'll hear this and think, oh the i'm. that's why i don't like a church wiser administration. there's people around this pope that have a lot of power and influence. and this is the kind of thing it feels to me like someone wanted done. someone wanted it to happen and to cause this to have this
10:57 am
thing to move forward. i fear lest the abrogation of a lot mass completely. but i do think we're seeing, you know, more liberal bishops in place. and i, when i say liberal, i don't mean only in a political sense, in the american mindset, i mean on issues of marriage on issues of abortion, on issues of end of life and the impact about, you know, the social justice. you mentioned the jesuits, the jesuits order was leading on some of the worst socialist policies in latin america and other parts of the world. so we should be worried about that. and it feels to me like some of the people around pope francis wanting to do something because i just pointed out it wasn't all the way it was sort of a half measure. but it doesn't bode well. it in certain sense i, i pray for the church. well, tim and thanks for joining me. my biggest concern is this was something that actually united all countries all languages without it being gone, what possibly could happen the future? thanks for joining me. thank you. and that's all the time we have are today show, but i promise this is
10:58 am
