as a catholic, the catholic voting block was tremendously important. he carried something like 89% of the catholic vote and keeping that relationship good and strong was really important. there were a lot of irish catholics in his inner circle, jim farley, who was his campaign secretary was one. what i wrote about jim farley, he was such a professional irishman, he always signed his name is green ink. [laughter]. yeah, but tommy corcoran was another. joseph p kennedy was a really important one and he and missy were good, close friend. you know, he-- kennedy loved being in that inner circle with fdr. they had a sort of tumultuous relationship which in the end broke down, but he leased this palatial mansion when he was working as chair of the sec and missy would arrange for him to have evenings out there and she'd bring all the irish cat athletics with her and they'd sit out there and sing irish songs and play the accordian and drink and have a big time and grace tully had been the secretary for a bishop and the state leaders would come in the white hous

this very elite group of leaders in the catholic church. cardinal pell is at the very top, close adviser to pope francis. this morning he appeared sullen, quiet, reflective, and he talk about the relentless what he called character assassination against him over what he calls matters that have been under investigation for at least two years. he also told us this morning he has been in regular contact with pope francis, keeping him up to date, and that the pope had, in his words, had granted him a leave of absence to return to australia to face these charges to, as you heard in the sound bite, he looks forward to his day in court to clear his name. we have been speaking with people at the vatican who we have brn covering. that said always with the vatican, you must read between the lines here. whether he was granted a leave of absence is a question. it's more likely pope francis has forced cardinal pell to leave. he is the highest ranking to be charged with these severe sex charges and it's really sending shock waves through the catholic chu

catholic church. he looks forward to the day he can clear his name in court. he called this a character assassination and thank pope francis for allowing a leaf of absence to travel to australia to clear his name and prove his innocence. it's still unclear whether this leave of absence is a nice way for the pope to allow him to step down from his job. >> thank you. >>> now to republicans scrambling as the clock winds down on their last attempt to save obamacare replacement plan. some gop members start to make overtures to their colleagues on the other side of the aisle while bracing for angry constituents as they head home for their july 4th break. kasie hunt has more. >> reporter: after a devastating delay, protests and arrests as republicans head back into secret negotiations to crack a new health care deal by friday a last-ditch attempt to transform 1/6 of the economy with just republican votes. >> we'll continue working to bring legislation to the floor for debate and ultimately a vote. >> could h

this is a scandal that has been dogging the catholic church for many years.the pope had called him from sydney to rome to do that. but now, with his temporary departure, and we don't know for how long that will be, there seems to be a bit ofa long that will be, there seems to be a bit of a vacuum and a certain degree of uncertainty over whether the pope can continue to push forward with these reforms. cardinal pell said last year that the church had made catastrophic choices by refusing to believe abused children and by moving abusive priests from parish to parish. do we know any more yet about the charges he himself is charging? we have heard the phrase multiple charges used, but not much detail yet. the police have said very little other than that they are multiple charges from a novel of complainants, and they relate to historical sexual offences dating back to the 1970s. there are a number of charges here that have been levelled against cardinal pell, and it will remain to be seen how they are tested in court at how the cardinal defends himself. he is ver

this is such a community of so many different religions, so many cultures, catholic, protestant, and whole community coming together at this dreadful time. we have seen in the last day or so notjust grief and shock but that grief and shock turning increasingly to anger. community leaders have said they have been trying to combat anger, but understandable nonetheless. let's speak to one of the volunteers who was helping to coordinate the emergency at the —— who is helping. you have been working hard, how was it going? really, really well. the volu nteers it going? really, really well. the volunteers are in high spirits and doing everything they can to put everything into storage, i wanted to touch upon your point, we are calling for people to be calm and there are lots of peace ceremony is being conducted. by the wisdom comes from heaven, it is pure, peace—loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and bears good fruit. we want to be peacemakers, there is enough grief and we do not want it to be confused that your kindness is taken for weakness, this atrocity should not have happe

catholic support, our minds were as catholics, to find by good and evil. there was a very distinct rule about behavior. and the catholic teachings was very cleansing of any sexual or erotic content. my priesthood tell me.i was an altar boy. do not read this dirty book by kathleen windsor. do not see this jane russell film. these were erotic people of the 1940s. for other amber. i mean people, i grew up with that and i have this idea of the bible. i am not saying i was reading the bible but i was in a biblical mentality because the priests and the nuns really governed private thought because you had as a young impressionable person in the church, the fear of dying and going to hell. i mean really had you dying in flames forever because you thought of a nude woman. i remember one of the few persons that i loved and i wrote about was the great doctor peter o'toole. i once had a chance to write about him. and he come about my age, he was like lawrence of the arabia. and he told me, i spent some time with him and in london i spent time with him in ireland where

well, there's been a service very close to grenfell tower at a catholic church here, a catholic masspay respects and to remember those who've died, those who are still missing and unaccounted for. the mass was led by the archbishop of westminster, the leader of the catholic church in england and wales. he told the congregation that he understood the anger that there is in this community. he said that anger should be channelled for good. you know, anger is energy and what i said inside was the thing about anger and its energy is it has to be directed in the right way. it has to get shaped so it becomes a positive source. i think the thing that i most troubling is those who find most troubling is those who would wish to use that anger to deepen divisions in society, to create further divisions, because down that road is just a dog—eat—dog road. really what we were thinking about and road. really what we were thinking aboutand urging road. really what we were thinking about and urging this morning was that yes, people are angry. yes, that's quite understandable and right. but let's use

we're not irish like the catholic irish. and so doing what they attempted to do was say, say to other white protestants, look we were like you. our ancestors were fought in the army of washington. we're not like these new immigrants. they also made the argument -- and therefore i like you in that regard. the table of whiteness in the 19th century. there was a way of saying, look, we are as, american, as white protestant groups. and in light of this new catholic migration. so it was a way -- it was a way of trying to break into a white club. . it was a way for previously maligned group to claim respectability by association. these advocates of this new term would claim that they were white, protestant and like those other new englanders, their ancestors were instrumental in the founding nation. they deserved a seat at the table. in recent decades, however, the scotts irish identity has become an ethnic marker used as a way to distinguish themselves as over arcing white american identity. jd who i alluded to in the introductio
