it was the catholic church in drc, we have the catholic church, sometimes they speak in so many otherds what they want to do. apparently the pope blessed them and said that's a very good thing, go ahead, you are doing the right thing. i think we should have it as a norm you are addressing issues of poverty and all those things. the church can play a big role in challenging the lack of democracy. catherine, when religious organisations fall short of their own values, for the catholic church, this has been a very significant problem, an organisation which is, what are the conditions in which an organisation does not live up to its values? we have seen the catholic church not living up to its values when it comes to child abuse, it has been on a global scandal. it has wounded and scarred it in terms of its reputation, shattered it in many ways. in that sense, that is a church that has not lived up to its own values and its reputation and is going to have to rebuild. and many people have been very alienated by what has happened. so it is a question of the church losing many members have w

right now you have two presidents within the catholic church.is office is pope francis citing one opinion. another president is pope benedict. he's retired, but speaking out. he's being active. this is just what the catholic church doesn't want. it creates more confusion. pope francis hasn't made any advances with regard to pedophilia in the catholic church, but this letter is a greater setback. >> mitchell, thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> still ahead it's a shocking statistic. native american women far more likely to be murdered than people in other demographics. what members of congress are doing about it next. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suici

i know when i was by the catholic church. yes this is. the bishops conference we had to come back on the on the financial issue since then. more than one hundred years ago the church and the state as agreements that separate they the. that's the. the region and the states are going to for the ways and the french that caused a lot of churches owns a lot of churches since then so therefore culturally church was pretty quick to say that's not our business that's the french state building so they have. to repair it and. but still there are some criticism. because as you say it's the catholic church and especially in france is there rich and kurds could afford at least to co-found the restoration of the church. i mean with the religious oh oh no there's a magnificent building. that's also there the issue for for the government it's also a building from the national on that national importance is not only. a place of religion. but still they decided to. give it their are going to resist and for people who want donation to rebuild the church if y

other would that go financial need here the catholic church in spain is an earthly kingdom that's worth billions of dollars there but church lost its privileges during the second republican the one nine hundred thirty s. but its support for franco soon paid off. in one thousand thirty seven the bishops announced that the civil war was a christian crusade in return franco approved legislation that allowed the church to register public buildings as private property for a small fee of all the bishops had to do was sign a few papers as i was going to have it that happened here with the church of st barbara. thousand other building. in fiasco motivated to leave the city on. the church's real estate portfolio is not limited to places of worship it also includes apartment blocks. antonio gomez says that here in the archdiocese of our villa the church owns up to two thirds of all property. some left wing city governments have questioned whether the church should own that much real estate church officials have promised to make a public inventory of their properties but that hasn't happened yet.

, it will be macron's church, it will not be the catholic churchll be rebuild. will it be the same symbol of catholicism as it has been for nine centuries or something else? that has to do with how france believes this church will be in history and in his life from now on, much more than what it has been in the previous nine centuries. much more than what it has been in the previous nine centurieslj appreciate the previous nine centuries.” appreciate that it is such a complicated question but wejust appreciate that it is such a complicated question but we just saw yesterday even when we were talking about the restoration of the private chambers of marie antoinette and that was a huge expense, three years of restoration and we saw them to theirfull of restoration and we saw them to their full splendour. of restoration and we saw them to theirfull splendour. we of restoration and we saw them to their full splendour. we also saw in rome, the opening up of the marble stairs that christ is believed to have walked along. it is a question about how the va

think because of the atmosphere that could be witnessed inside it and also of course for the catholic church this is a this is a major blow that i'm sure many people in the church will rally around it. it is a major blow and in fact it's with a heavy heart that i'm reporting on this story tonight like you say this is a building that i came to seize back in two thousand and three i was so excited to come here so many people are excited to see not saddam they want to see the history the building that's been here for hundreds of years in fact when it was built it was built as a symbol to show that paris was not just political and economic but also the cultural capital of france and it is something that is remains iconic ever since i was speaking to one woman when we were just at the police cordon he just said to me sit a tourist she was. it's so sad and that's a feeling that i'm sure many people be echoing as they are watching what's happening but let's just take a look at how that's coming along in fact it does look like the. plume of smoke is getting smaller and smaller does look like the fir

what are the significance of relics in the catholic church and why would those be huge losses to the church? >> enormous relics. they're just remnants, the body of a saint, part of a body of the saint or something that the saint had been in touch with. a vivid reminder of these great figures. the crown of thorns, i don't know, i'm not sure what to make of that. when i was in paris, it was kept in the treasury, but i never heard that it was in that spire. i hope not. because that was, going back to the time of louis ix, st. louis, and they built the champs lapell for safe keeping. indeed i saw it there when i was in paris but it was in the treasury. >> where is that? >> that was in the -- it was like a lower section off the main part of the cathedral. i don't remember it being in the spire. st. genevieve, great protector of paris. so for catholics, relics are of great significance. >> these images are devastating. we're watching on the lower right-hand of your screen that entire that collapsed about 20 minutes ago, 750 tons. bishop baron, thank you so much for joining us today and shar

and the funding for restoration and upkeep is largely provided by the catholic church. the french state doesn't really participate in that. so this was a private project from which they were accepting dounations around the world. if you're catholic, your local diocese might have contributed. but there was an active campaign to raise money for this restoration project. has been at least since the spring of 2017. that's how far i know it goes. at least to that point they've been raising money. these are live pictures. and the earlier report that the fire appeared to be dying down, apparently were not as accurate as we had all hoped. as the center of notre dame is towering, the flames are towering through the center, many stories. the scaffolding on the outside more than ten stories tall, and the flames lapping over them. a sight that's still, after all this time, more than two hours of watching it, really escapes belief. notre dame is being reduced to rubble before our eyes. it's just unimaginable. but indeed it has happened. in the days and weeks and months ahead, authori

this is technically a catholic church. the vatican has said they have seen the shock and sadness of the news of the terrible fire that has delve tate -- devastated the cathedral of notre dame. the statement says that they're praying for firefighters and those confronting this situation. they said they express their closeness to french catholics and the population of paris and we assure our prayers for firefighters. we expect to hear from the u.s. cardinal timothy dolan within his diocese of course pays homage to notre dame. he will be talking about the common bond between the people of this country not only just catholics but the people of france also mourning the loss. bill, we don't know what started this. we do know the repurchase contributions and what is left. ruins. ruins that could take some time to mix and make right. you never can make it as it was. >> well, neil, in it is an accident, it's a monumental tragedy. forgive me for being suspicious. last month, a 17th century church was set on fire in paris. we've seen

the reason for the decline in observance in churchgoing and believe in traditional church and catholic church in particular is the culture we live in has moved in the direction the church seems to oppose, issues such as anything from gay marriage, abortion, contraception, divorce. the sanctity of marriage. the church continues to preach a very strong message on those things. but the united states, many people in the practical lives have moved on beyond that and defined the church message irrelevant at best or worse actually harmful and offensive. >> afraid they have, afraid you are right. that again is a challenge for us within the church because very often, the church -- not only the catholic church but traditional, you know what statistics show is that the so-called inherited religions, in other words the religions into which we are born, what would that be? catholicism, judaism, orthodoxy, just to name a few. they are suffering a decline. because an inherited, the fact that you are born into a faith, no longer seems to have the impact that it used to. which brings up our whole challenge of

steve: but they go back to the issue of catholic church and politics. to you say that catholics work with one party over another? prof. mcgreevy: catholics were clearly associated with the democratic party from the 19th century through the 1950's. the data we have tells us they started to shift toward -- especially more affluent toward the republican party in the 50's. eisenhower was popular with catholics. kennedy stop that. kennedy was unbelievably popular with all. all. we believe he got 80% of the catholic vote, which is a huge number. then, cap obstructing tour the republican party, maybe it is 55-45 now. but you know catholics, a huge percentage of the church, very democratic. steve: do you remember his assassination? prof. mcgreevy: i was two days old. steve: what was the church going through when you look back at that? prof. mcgreevy: it's hard to learned a lot about kennedy's personal life over the last 50 years and i think our culture is generally less empathetic to heroes and people who are perceived as leaders. kennedy was a hero for american

allegations of abuse and cover—ups in the catholic church have circulated for years, but now hundreds the church to change. daniel pardo from bbc mundo has their story. this priest is messaging a 16—year—old boy. or at least he thinks he is. he's actually messaging the vigilante who brought down a network of abusive priests who call themselves la cofradia — the brotherhood. you see, chile has suffered through an epidemic of sexual abuse in the catholic church, a story that has repeated itself around the world. but in chile, some people stood up and said change must happen. this is the story of three individuals that rocked the catholic church in 2018, but it's a story that begins in 2010 whenjames hamilton became one of the first victims to come forward, accusing father fernando karadima of decades of abuse. and the church itself reacted with similar apathy. it would take the pope eight years to defrock father fernando karadima. his initial sentence being a lifetime of penance and prayer. but this wasn't the last time we would hear about karadima. in 2015 one of the men accused of cov

another very important development was the relationship between the catholic church and other christiantude towards thejewish people, a recognition then that we ultimately are descended from thejewish faith and also that the church needs to be involved in issues of the world. it was because of the council that many priests and men's and bishops were in the forefront of the battle for civil rights, marching with martin luther king, jr, for example. there was a group called the observers and they represented the various different christian churches, as well as non—christian religions. i gather there is a lot pressure that women should be allowed in as members of the council in some way or another. there were some women who were observers but obviously, if the council were to be held today, i think that would be quite different. what would have happened without the council is i think we would have found ourselves more and more irrelevant, stagnant and out of touch. john xxiii served only a few years but what he did in terms of opening up the church to the larger world is invaluable. there

closeness to french catholics, because above all else, of course, crust, this is also a regular catholic churchtholics. and as you have been saying, this is the place where they would have been going to celebrate this most important week in the catholic calendar. inside that church are important relics. a relic of what they assume to be the cross of jesus, a relic of the crown of thorns, which they actually on good friday venerate in that cathedral. and so it's a place of gathering like many catholic churches. so, the first point is that for the vatican, of course, it's a catholic place, and they express their sorrow to catholics. whether the pope will actually be able to physically be with the catholics in paris, we have yet to see. wouldn't rule it out. of course, we know that he's a pope of surprises. this cathedral, also, chris, is a place where other popes have visited. john paul ii said mass there twice. pope benedict has visited there. a very close connection, obviously, between the city of paris and the city of rome and the vatican. so, we've been talking about how it is a devastate iin

it is one of three catholic church churches bombed by suicide bombers on easter sunday. a government minister says at least 102 people were killed and there was a mass funeral in that city. there were also three luxury hotels here in colombo that were hit as well. just incredible coordination that took place. the authorities are being very careful at this time not to point any fingers and not to blame any organization. there have been no claims of responsibility even though there's a massive death toll, wounded people battling for their lives in intensive care in hospitals. there has been reporting and part of a memo published by a government minister here. earlier this month, between different departments of the security forces, warning about the threats of suicide attacks against catholic churches and against the indian high commission, so one government minister i talked to called this negligence, the fact that nobody had followed up on that and properly protected, churches like this where there is broken glass on the pavement and the clock tower appears to be stuck a

and from some of the right wing elements of the catholic church and here you have you know the catholic church has banned ceremonies like this but here we have it coming back in a small village and where it's pulling back some of those roots of anti-semitism and again one of the biggest groups of anti-semitism has always been that jews killed jesus and the catholic church has taken that back and changed and changed their view on that but a lot of polish catholics and others refuse to accept it while in the last twenty years they've sort of muted their criticism and muted their anti-semitism we're seeing it coming back this time and look at that all the polish people it's not even most of the polish people but it's a large enough fringe that it's become frightening and like going up to my polish friend who was embarrassed by it and you know that it's part of this nationalistic wave that we've seen any sort of ultra nationalism brings back a certain level. i seventy isn't because the whole concept of ultra nationalism is i am better than whoever it is and whether i'm better than

that is a question the catholic church needs to answer that last. church is a part of the seid management so i think stakeholders including the church have to be consulted on every step so this is a quite normal procedure for all our world heritage site and when it comes to rebuilding the obviously is a saying that this is a couple of hundred just a few hundred years old to the skills still exist to do that i don't know the stonemasons that the compensated i'm still around to produce the sort of architecture. this is a very interesting question because we have a nomination file of this craftsmanship this means the tradition and knowledge of by the still masons etc all of the different schools. in on its way to unesco for evolution in two thousand and twenty and different convention which is the intangible heritage convention and it shows that this is something where you really do need to do something some more in terms of capacity building and getting young people. into the system to continue these craft craftsmanship which went on since the middle a

anthony's shrine here, a catholic church in colombo on east easter sunday. you can still see damage, shattered glass, and the clock tower seems to be frozen at 8:45 a.m., which is roughly when we think the suicide bomber, as the government has put it, attacked this church as well as two other catholic churches in two other cities, also attacking two other hotels here in colombo with just a staggering death toll. 209 killed, 500 wounded. the security forces do say they have detained a couple of dozen suspects, but even that process has been deadly. in some of the raids carried out after the initial blasts on sunday, some of the suspects at one house here in colombo detonated more explosives, killing three police. so this is the kind of enemy that the security forces are dealing with. they're not taking any chances. they're imposing a curfew that starts at 8:00 p.m. and runs overnight. they are blocking access to many social media sites but it's pretty easy for sri lankans, to get around that with vpn. just weeks ago this month where there was a warning from a

>> well look, what's going on in the catholic church is very sad. t is that i can't speak a lot about that is the baptist church has had its own share problems recently as well. abuse is nondenominational. churches like mine we have a zero-tolerance policy for that sort of thing and i think parents with children are going to look for a church that takes seriously the protection of children and we certainly do. lou: i would certainly hope so. it's just stunning but i was speaking more towards the trouble they are having with finding priests and the shortage of priests and the declining, dramatically declining membership of the church. a question for another day, pastor. it's great to have you with us. you get the last word here. >> thanks so much lou. things are going well. we have a great president with a great agenda and i think everything is looking up especially for 2020. lou: robert jeffers thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate. we appreciate a pastor. >> thanks lou. you are the best. lou: president trump's is the border to see the w

i think, you know, the catholic church has had long history of in the 19th century wead catholics fighting for abolition. we had augustus who celebrated becoming a servant of god who was a black priest and in the 20th century we had catholics fighting for civil rights and leading the charge, even excommunicating e excommunicating people who wanted to s segregate. now we have an african-american in our highest office. he's been named archbishop but will probably be named cardinal and be a member, a votingember of the college of cardinals for the next pope. >> that's a big igdeal. >>deal. >> the other big deal is the scandal in the catholic church and that's kind of the elephant in the room today and one of the elephants wasitng right next to him. he's walking into a challenging spot with allf the concern about sexual abuse and the failure to report sexual abuse and the failure t address it. did he - d he address that subject adequately today what can he do to restore people's trust? >> he was very forthright, you know, even in that interview speaking about the need for fraternal correction

before the reformation you could not go to heaven without going through the catholic church and his priestess. and that's because it was a true church and going to such but the protestants reformation was about the perception that not only the catholic church but all churches of human institutions and it's like the inverse of what my son christopher said, he said religion poisons everything. actually it's the human beings that poison religion. against two fundamental ideas, the first was a salvation, the salvation by faith. and that meant we are so floored as human beings and prone to evil that none of us deserve salvation. and you can only be saved by divine grace. this is the idea behind fundamentally when i used to teach subjects in school, you learn checks and balances and why did the protestant founders of america put a system of checks and balances because they knew the very people they had created and designated were dangerous. and the people they elected to government or even more dangerous because in addition to being flawed they had a lot of heart. but the revolutionary protestant i
