coming up on "abc7 news at 4:00" -- a closer look at the pope's ground breaking comment about abortion and forgiveness. our guest from the arlington die owe cease joins us -- diocese joins us to talk about the impact.

jonathan: as we reported at the top of the newscast the pope is allowing priests to forgive abortions. kimberly: we are joined by tom ferguson, from the diocese of arlington. welcome. we were at mass today in washington and everyone was talking about this. a lot of catholics we talk to were surprised that you could be excommunicated for having an abortion. they hadn't seen that. what has the tradition been? >> the church says abortion is a great sin and because it's a matter, it not only wounds a person's relationship with god but with the community of the church. so there are two things we are talking about here. a and said a penalty of excommunication -- a sin and a penalty of excommunication. what you found when you talk to people is what i expect.

that most people think of abortion and think of sin because of the wound with god but most don't think excommunication is a consequence as well. it's not as commonly known. jonathan: a huge move from the pope but not a surprising one. he is sort of the pope of the people. when you grow up as a catholic and say if you get divorced or have abortion, those are the sins you don't come back from, from the church. pope is making it clear not so fast. we need to forgive. are you surprised? >> i'm not surprised. there is a lot of misunderstanding and misperception. we think of someone excommunicating for an abortion. you can't be excommunicated unless you realize it's attached to the action. you don't inkir -- incur it unless you are unaware that it will bring the consequence. it's rare a person is excommunicated because of having an abortion.

what people realize is the nature of thes ago as a sin and it ruins the relationship with god. at times it's a great deal of guilty and shame attached to that, what pope francis is doing is already in motion in the life of the church. the movement of the spirit to focus on a message of mercy. reconciliation. kimberly: that is the year of mercy from 2015 to 2016. so is it just for this year? what happens after the year of mercy is up? >> it's not a sensation. the ability to forgive the sin of abortion has always been there for the priests. what pope francis is doing is not changing the church's policy or teaching. he is talking to two groups of people. first he is talking to priests and say being who you are. you know you have an ability and the sacrament of

concession and people will approach with a contrite and a sorrowful heart. he says priests are already are the face of the father's mearssy. be who you are and be it well. and with people laboring with a sense of guilt or shame know when you come to confession you will find the priests who are encouraged more than ever to be the face of god the father's mercy for you. you will find a gentle, patient, and compassionate welcome to come home to the lord and receive the 2015 -- gift of his peace. jonathan: thank you for taking the time. kimberly: good to see you. >> thank you. kimberly: coming up at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- an alarming report about kids and drinking. how early you should talk to your child about the risky behavior and the recommended age might surprise you. >> leaders in arlington want more affordable housing. are they going about it the more affordable housing. are they going about it the r

but there is concern that way too many would do in this area here. south arlington. they want affordable housing spread out the county but the leaders say they are working on that. this is video of the housing. the prices have been skyrocketing there. the county has been known for having to have affordable housing but it's difficult because the price of home is going up so much. so this will call for new affordable housing. there are those that are concerned that the housing and the affordable housing will be way too concentrated in south arlington. >> we feel this is economic segregation going on for excite a while and the county board has a role to play in stemming the tide. >> i am puzzled by the protest. i think the plan includes a

lot of what they have been advocating for. >> the county board is asking questions of the county staff about the changes that have been made to the plan. then a public hearing that is coming up later on in september. reporting live, tom roussey. jonathan: breaking news out of mont gomry county. news chopper 7 flying over another major crash to tell you about. this shut down 270. one car went off the road. a person was trapped but has been treed and has been taken to the hospital. but you can see the road is still blocked. this is an area to ray void. 270. if a way that somebody you love comes home from work call them and tell them not to take the road home. kimberly: early morning fire meant a bunch of people had to move of the of their home. this broke out at a townhouse. n greenbelt. this spread to two others.

the firefighters were able to get it under control. no one was injured. jonathan: if you got outside today, the hot and the muggy weather across the region today. this feels more like july. kimberly: you could not help but sweat. find out if they will sweat it out tonight. chief meteorologist doug hill joining us now. doug? doug: the temperatures are warm all night long. 90's now. drop to 80's and most areas in the 70's. muggy. pop back to 90's for a few more days before we see relief. high school in laurel, maryland. 91. 93 in frederick. 92 in hagerstown and fredericksburg. a hot and humid september 1 for sure. we have had 46 days where it was 90 or higher. on an average year, 36. two more days at 90 or above. last year we had 24 days all

of last year. this evening, we will hang on the partly cloudy skies. stay in the upper 80's. sunset we drop to mid-70's in most areas. 92 tomorrow with 30% chance of the scattered showers and the thunderstorms in the afternoon. the average temperatures are 84, 85. we will stay well above thursday. may i introduce the weekend holiday outlook. it lookses good to me. partly cloud dif and cooler, less humid. but the heat and the humidity could return by next week. back to you. jonathan: good looking weekend. thank you. this is a real eye-opener. you may need to talk to your kids about drinking sooner than you thought. the american academy of pediatrics now says that parents need to talk about alcohol use with the children as early as 9 years old. amanda webber spoke to a

pediatrician to find out why. >> 9 years old seems young but kids start early with the risky behaviors. with alcohol, sexual activity and so on, and parents think the child is innocent and don't realize they are already exposed and may already be involved in the behavior. >> the american academy of pediatrics that children think positively about alcohol between 9-19. dr. berman says a lot of the behaviors the children are curious about they observe from the parents or the adults in their home so it's important that the parents always think of what behaviors are observed by the chairmaned they are done responsibly. >> having a drink of alcohol isn't necessarily a bad thing but the children will be curious what they are drinking, why and what the effects can be. if the parents are overdoing and getting drunk the kids will wonder or think it's okay to drink possibly. >> i think that that discussion may come up sooner and i would rather her be

prepared. not encouraged to do it. but know the boundaries and who she should or shouldn't be doing things with and what age. >> another felt the discussion could lead to trouble. >> sometimes you talk about something and that is when they get interested and they want to know about it. >> the american academy of pediatrics says 21% of youth acknowledge having a sip of alcohol before 13 years old. jonathan: 9 years old seems young, doesn't it? amanda webber reporting. dr. berman says that things found on the internet and marketing can also cause a child to show interest in alcohol. it make sense why you talk to them so young. kimberly: the schools do a great job impressing that. our daughter came home and said that is going to poison you. >> adamant about it. jonathan: smart girl. kimberly: scared me. jonathan: coming up at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- a fight over issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in kentucky. why a county clerk refuses to do it. kimberly: stay on top of breaking news by signing up
