quite young for the job but with a mandate for reform. >> the jesuits ignored other older jesuits andchose him. many of them said to me we look to him as a kind of -- he was the storm pilot, you know. he was the one who needed to take the tiller in the storm. and it's very interesting how this has been a consistent theme actually throughout his life that, when the church is in crisis, they look to him. >> his first turn at leadership wass are was, as he admitted in a machine interview, troubled. "my style of government as a jesuit at the beginning had many faults." six year later he took on a different role as head of the jesuit college. at the college he lived in this small, simple apartment, looking now much like this did back then. >> >> translator: he is a quiet and simple man. a sign of a great leader is to be a good listener and he is one of the greatest in that respect. >> father angel rossi was at the school with him. >> translator: he's a deeply spiritual person, a great connoisseur of the soul, isn't he? >> bergoglio taught by example, spending as much time in the community

like a good jesuit, one of the great models of being a jesuit is freedom.'m free even if they want to hurt me to do my job, so he's not really attached to that. he's free and you can see that freedom in these gestures and in this light. >> again, let's listen in to some of the sounds and see the sounds. [ [ cheers and applause ]. >> even though the u.s. secret service is very much in charge of security, the philadelphia police obviously very involved, many state, federal, local agencies, up close it is the vatican guards, the vatican security, which is closest to the pontiff. >> yeah. that's right. in fact, if you're looking to the pope's right, the gentleman who is in the suit who is providing security, his name is domenico, the head of the vatican gendarmes, the private security. he's been traveling with popes since the time of john paul ii. they are very good at figuring out what the pope wants in situations like this. >> father martin, where is he now? >> he is now in front of the basilica of st. peter and paul and there's an installation to the left ca

he'd been picked to lead all argentina's jesuits then moved on to head this jesuit college in buenosvered for his faith and common touch. >> he had ceased to be the head. yet he continued to have a power over the jesuits in the province which was very unusual. now, a number of the other older jesuits resented that. >> priests are not immune to jealousy and petty politics. bergoglio was about to feel the bite. >> the new regime and the jesuits wanted him out of the way. >> far out of the way. they exiled bergoglio, sending him to cordoba, 400 miles from buenos aires. >> translator: he went to cordoba to go through a period of reflection, of silence. known pope francis for 40 years used to visit with him in cordoba. >> translator: he said, "i never considered it an injustice. these were the circumstances." it was painful and he did not have it easy. >> journalist javier interviewed pope francis about his time in cordoba. >> translator: a lot of people talking about it as being an exile, that they took him out of buenos aires and sent him to cordoba with no activity, no role, not even a

to reform. >> the jesuits ignored other older jesuits and they chose him.said to me, you know, we look to him as a kind of -- he was the storm pilot. you know, he was the one who needed to take the tiller in the storm and it's interesting how this has been a consistent theme actually throughout his life, that when the church is in crisis, they look to him. >> his first turn at leadership was as he admitted in a magazine interview troubled. "my style of government as a jesuit at the beginning had many faults. i was only 36 years old. that was crazy. i had to deal with difficult situations and i made my decisions abruptly and by myself. it was my authoritarian way of making decisions that created problems." six years later he took on a different leadership role as head of the jesuit college. at the college, he lived in this small simple apartment looking now much like it did back then. >> translator: he is a quiet and simple man. a sign of a great leader is to be a good listener, and he is one of the greatest in that respect. >> father angel rossi was at the

friend and fellow jesuit told us father jorge didn't talk about those brutal days.e shared with us the plight of three seminariens he's aware of who were protected here. he showed us the modest quarters that become temporary safe haven for religious men in risk of government actions, kept out of harm's way where bergoglio was rector until safe passage out of argentina could be arraigned. >> it's a 30-day silent retreat. so people could claim they were doing their retreat with the pope, and then nobody was looking for them for a month. by then they had left the country and were safe in exile. >> it was a difficult time for the country. >> freelance "new york times" journalist jonathan gilbert is well versed on the fine line church leaders had to walk during the dark time in argentina. gilbert himself investigated politically charged claims that bergoglio was complicit in the government kidnapping of two other jesuit priests who refused to stop their work in the slums of argentina. >> -- to absolutely pin down that he was involved in any sorts of human rights abuses.

not a jesuit. so one of the things he tried to do when he was pope was tried to heal that rift. he gave that long interview, six hours over three days to the jesuit magazine. this is saying more than i know, this that may well have played the part and the fact that it was john paul that made him a bishop. john paul made him a cardinal. he didn't do that with people he didn't trust. i think he felt this is a man man who would oppose liberation of theology, and john paul hated jesuits. the jesuits, many of them are convinced he tried to sequester the order. he tried to replace its influence, the one he did favor, all of those fairly right wing groups he favored. they were not sure that he was entirely on their side but they didn't think he was entirely on the other side either. who knows why each of those floated. i think many were scared, the the scandals were accumulating, they needed someone from outside , they needed someone to express that. they figured he was old, what can he do. that's what th

the very first jesuit school was in to foreign jesuits.archbishop carroll, from baltimore, was the founder of georgetown university. >> father, hold on for one second. hold on with that thought. i want to hear the whole history. let's just acknowledge that the plane has landed. the pope, pope francis has landed now at philadelphia international airport for the third leg of his tour of the united states. in fact, the leg which basically everything else is built upon in washington and new york. and this time on this tour took second and third place. he came here for the national conference on the family. he's going to be talking about that here before it could be 2 million people here right here behind me. this is the biggie for him. and why he came. and we're all hoping that this -- well, we all hope the trip ends with a crescendo of significance that lasts more than just a few days. let me go back to father kensicky. tell us about that, the jesuit mission. this pope is a jesuit. >> yes, he is. and as we -- as we may remember, we've not had

he was a jesuit priest training the jesuits and made -- of the jesuits in argentina at arthritic.uthority at too young an age. he was a top guy very hard liner in some ways after being pro vin shall he ran the major seminary of the jesuits in boonies air rows jesuits study as well as other priests from there went on to do studies in germany came back and he was made the auction sill larry bishop of buenos aires and the cardinal at that time in buenos aires designated him as his successor. very quick trajectory into the bishop -- job of bishop. >> archbishop. >> archbishop and while he was a archbishop buenos aires app point to do cardinal. >> 2001. >> i think it was 2001 by john paul ii. maybe benedict. >> look at him now. >> there he is. he's going off in the golf cart probably taking him over to the helicopter do you think? >> because, yes, the next stop is the curran-fromhold correctional facility where he's going to meet with some inmates there and their families. >> if they stay right on schedule the chopper is supposed to leave the ground at 10:16. >> he'll be leaving from t

this wok pope say jesuit, he's e first jesuit pope. the founder of the jesuit said he wanted his men in this order of priests to be inning different. to be the same, whether the thee with a king are a popper, a sick person a healthy person. >> or a pitc rich person. >> and there are some in that crowd. >> that probably is probably a mix of all of those things, because ignatius said god is in earn. this pope has giving this entire country a master class in what it is to be a jesuit and practice jesuit spirituality. it's a remarkable example of the sorts of things, not to brag, but we try to and strive to teach our students at fordham. this is so familiar to anyone familiar with jesuit education it's remarkable. >> you do see that the crowds and the way they were talking, they have picked up on this. they are kind of trying to emulate it. they were saying, you know, people were hugging each other and they were taking care of each other's children and everything. they are trying to be like the pope. there is something that is compelling a

rigorous training on the jesuits. many of us have studied on jesuits. admire that rigor. that's part of it. he is a very free man. the jesuits are very big on discernment. praying a lot and then acting. and he obviously does that. >> there is some criticism from some that he is political. let me take the issue of immigration for instance. does he raise immigration as quote a political issue or is it a morality issue? i mean, i'm sort of struggling with myself as i decide is he political or deeply held moral issues from which you look at it that way? >> greta, i think it's a moral issue, which obviously has political implications. but, in the end, you know, read the gospel and it's feed the hungry and clothe the naked, right? essentially, it is the pope taking the gospel into action, people who are starving, people who are suffering persecution. giving them a hand. it has political implications. there is no doubt about it. but, essentially, it is a moral issue. >> is he a simple man? i mean, i see he is not living in a vatican apartment. and i say that in a respectful way.

to be a jesuit. >> would you explain that for us. >> the largest order of male catholic religions inhe church, there is more than 20 new jesuits around the world and go to the 1540s to a spanish saint and he taught the way in which we live our interior lives and emotions and spirits and they are deeply connected to what god wants for us so he says we should look for signs of god in what he calls consolation, this feeling of not just joy but contentment, this knowledge we found our place in the universe so to speak and that is the joy and happiness the pope is seeking to spread to people and seeking to incarnate while he is in the u.s. and it's not just joy in general but experience of people in the margins and talks about how the church needs to happen by, joyfully go out to the people who are at the margins of society, poor people, disabled people, and to bring that message to them. >> you know, it's interesting and we've talked about this a bit and i'll give to jonathan betz in a moment as we set the stage for the rest of the quotes late afternoon and evening here in new york city

tell us father martin, you're a jesuit. he is also a jesuit. what is the meaning of that? >> it's a catholic religious order like the franciscans. one of the things unusual when you have someone who lived without poverty most of his life different from other popes. >> there we see as a little rain begins to fall. no umbrellas yet for the first family. there they are, president obama, sasha next to him, the first lady and malia followed by the bidens, as well. big smile on the president's face. this is the kind of thing presidents love. this is a great moment for him and a great moment that started his first meeting at the vatican a year ago which led to what happened in cuba over the course of the last few months. >> the thing with those little children from the schools, how exciting is that? >> once-in-a-lifetime experience. i think i see the pope waiting at the top of the stage. the unmistakable white robes. >> the only one who gets to wear white. >> you were saying he wears the same thing almost every day. >> yeah, he does. even the sleeve of his cassock is frayed. he i

you are not supposed to strive for a high office if you are a jesuit. >> he was a leader in the jesuit community, but even that brought him uncomfort. he really just wanted to be, as he said earlier today, a man of prayer, a man who preaches the word. >> he also said that he's over the years sort of evolved in the way that he leads and that he was a very young man when he was heading the jesuits, the provincial, in argentina. he was 36 years old at that point. he was still very young. and he sort of learned over time not to be quite so authoritative and to listen and he's changed his approach over time. >> his motto in buenos aires was apparently lowly by chosen. he feels that although he was chosen he still remains lowly in terms of giving back so much to the topoor and those who aren't afforded as much as others. >> i think we see that in his messages but also in his simplicity. the fiat we've spoken of so much since he arrived. >> even when he was elected poem, he stepped out on the balcony in the austere white, and people say it's another symbol of his simplicity. gone was the gold

become a jesuit priest? is a son of loyola. when one looks at the foundation of the society to serve the church under the banner of the cross you see that in the life of pope francis. in his homily this mass a mass for justice and peace. and when he talks about the prince of peace many of us tend to think we are praying for peace in distant countries or other parts of the world. he connects it to us personally. he says christ removes us from the fray of competition and opens before us the path of peace, the peace born of accepting others, the peace which fills our hearts. he is really calling everyone who is watching, everyone in madison square garden to be an instrument of christ's peace. again, a very jesuit, very ignaceous theme. >> i was so struck, if i could, when you spoke to mayor flynn about ethnicity and we who write about politics are mostly accustomed to talking about ethnic groups in the city and why they hate each other. i was struck when the pope referred to this he said in this place with all

he's the first jesuit pope. as one catholic priest and scholar i spoke with noting he's a jesuit who said he's not a jesuit just from here, but he thinks from here, his heart. i think that's what's made pope francis and his couple of years in the vatican so unique. he's connecting not just here as a jesuit, because we know they're scholars, but also, of course, as a pope with heart. part of the message which i told you earlier i heard he's not only going to address immigration here, he's going to address the environment. he won't specifically say climate change, but he's going to talk about our common home. he's just come from cuba, as you know, so he's going to talk about the message in cuba. those are hot button issues, right? they're hotly debated in congress about normalizing relations with cuba. he's going to come here, this is a pastoral visit, but there's also a political message that the pope is delivering before the tens of thousands that are gathered here. just quickly before the pope arrives here too,

joseph' you've he is a jesuit and that is a jesuit school.. a story that's maybe number two here in philly y, that would be the philadelphia eagles. eagles finally got a win today. they beat the jets up at metlife stadium they finally won game and our shawnette wilson is live at chickie and pete's in south philly with eagles fans. shawnette? >> reporter: did you actually say they finally won game? yeah, they did. >> i did. >> reporter: yeah, and they it's all true and the pope is in town. all true statements you just made. we're live at chickie's and pete's where fans were celebrating today. the eagles win, of course, the first win of the season on a very big weekend as well. check it out. right here at chickie's and pete's pope francis this gentleman wearing a t-shirt here. now, you said you did watch the eagles game, correct, my friend. >> correct. >> reporter: did you watch the mass, correct? >> yes. >> reporter: um, who are you credits wig with this one? is it the coach? is it the players? is it the pope. >> the pope. absolutely the pope.

high school by the jesuit pope? >> the odds are pretty low, but i guess there are odds, never know. pope francis is certainly a pope of surprises. mable tap his driver on the shoulder and stop by. >> the hub of all activity come next week, student lent arrive thursday, then saturday, sunday, the pilgrimage into center city. reporting in north philadelphia, jan carabeo, cbs-3, "eyewitness news". >> and, as the pope's visit draws closer, the parkway papal stage is taking shape. this is what it will look like when the pope delivers mass one week from sunday. seventy-five men and women from esn productions are busy piecing together all of that that will become the centerpiece of pope francis visit. they're constructing skeleton for the stage, and the arch will cover it, crews also running 28 miles of cable. >>> "eyewitness news" has complete guide on the papal visit and the world meeting of families. go to the website cbsphilly.com/papal advice. >> i philadelphia police looking for the suspect who held up check cashing

, explain what that means. >> he is the first jesuit pope, and jesuit order was an order that was established, to teach, and to work in the church and the jesuits actually take a vow of obedience to the pope as part of their training. and as jim mentioned earlier it is a long process of training but the jesuits have the at heart really evangelist of god's people and they teach in so many institutions throughout the world. the pope himself was a teacher at various points. for a religious to become pope is quite striking because they bring with them not only priesthood but a special chairs man of their founders and their order and that does provide a flavor to everything that they say and everything that they do. >> it looks like the red carpet is rolled out for the the holy father, a 75-foot long, 9-foot wide, crimson carpet and it has an edge of gold, medal ons, design of the carpet, jim, on either side, they are reflective of stained glass at cathedral basilica in philadelphia. this is murrow family from langhorne carpet in langhorne and they have created this. i met the older gentlemen, act

his history with the jesuit order. i did not know he was effectively exiled when he was -- i think about age 34, 36. he was young. he did not have a good reputation with the jesuits. clearly that has changed. >> that's correct. he was living in a very tumultuous time with different understandings. for a while, he went to mendosa and was away from leadership in the order. nonetheless, his gifts were clearly recognized. we see who he is as a jesuit coming out so many ways in the way he speaks and what he does. i once had an opportunity to speak to him. he said, you know, i just celebrated 57 years as a jesuit. it was right on his mind. it's very much who he is. >> father, something else that he is, in keeping with a sort of more liberal order of the catholic church, the jesuits, he is making changes. he's making history. he's trying to make it more inclusive. perhaps the mission is not just altruistic, perhaps it's also to try to turn the tables of those who are leaving the catholic church and be more inclusive and bring

he's very free, and so he's the prototypical jesuit. he's very free and detached, as we like to say. there is some debate, you know. he said, "i don't want any kind of wall up on fifth avenue. i want to be able to touch people on fifth avenue." the secret service said, "no, no, we're putting up a wall." and it hasn't yet been decided, but he was very headstrong about this. >> yeah, i don't know how much sort of say he has over the sort of individual cities. i know for example in philadelphia, where i'm from -- and i just visited -- they do have a wall. they have this kind of very big perimeter. i don't think he really knows about that. he probably just sort of arrives in the city, and it's the local security, i think, that takes care of that. >> okay, and your plans when he's here? >> i'll be helping out abc, abc network, and, you know, traveling with that group from d.c. to philly to new york. >> all right, father jim martin, thank you. good to see you again. >> thank you. >> just ahead, we're gonna switch topics, talk about politics,

but the jesuits historically are a missionary order.pheries is exactly what he's doing today as a pope from argentina making his first trip to america. >> it was very noticeable after making his way through the crowds, adoring crowds, screaming crowds, the pope was smiling ear to ear. he moved inside, and everything about him changed. not just his facial expressions but everything about his body language. everything changed. and much of the crowd seemed to change along with him. >> oh, sure. when a priest celebrates the eucharist or mass he has to prepa prepare spiritually. he's going to be coming out not wearing the white robes that he wears daily. he'll come out with the investors called a chasuble. that priests wear at mass. he'll come out wearing different layers of clothing that every priest wears. obviously for him this particular chair he'll make his way to right in the middle of the outdoor sanctuary here. >> the mass is about to begin. you are invited to participate in the mass with reverence. please refrain from waving banners

pope francis is a jesuit and fidel castro was educated by jesuits and he said they talked about the pope'scyclical on the environment. he said fidel castro is very interested in ecology. he answered a question that some critics say he was soft on cuba in his criticisms of cuba during this trip. he said he did not think so. he described the trip to cuba as a pastoral visit and he used pastoral language and he said he did not hold any private meetings with cuban dissidents because he didn't have any private audiences during the tripe to cuba. he said there were just too many reques requests. he even had a request with a head of state he turned down. he would not identify which head of state that was. he was very energetic, he was very engaged, brian, and he was asked if he wanted to practice his english and he said no, he said "english is not my forte. "this press conference was conducted in spanish and italian. brian? >> anne, what happens now? we're looking at pictures of the aircraft you're on and you're going to swing around and they will bring the stairs up to the aircraft. do the membe

jesuits are supposed to serve.esiastical honors. you've never heard of a jesuit monsignor and you won't. now you've got a jesuit pope and he's at the top of the whole pile but he didn't ambition to be there. it came to him and it came to him in a moment in history where he was the right man for the job. >> there's a story that when he was sitting in the conclave in the sistine chapel and it began to appear like it was he, he went on the fifth ballot, when it was apparent that he was going to be the choice on that fifth ballot one of the other cardinals with whom he was sitting -- to whom he was sitting next said to him don't forget the poor. >> that's right. and that's the taking of the name fra francis, that's so indicative of the basic value system and that prayer of saint francis lord make me an instrument of your peace and where there is division let me so love, where there is hatred let me so love that's kind of a mission statement for his papacy. francis of assisi had a fair amount of family wealth and so on,

on both sides of it, so that's not atypical of jesuits or educated by jesuits. it will be interesting to see that congressman's reaction to the address. >> i would like to talk, if we could, about the statue the pope just visited, who was just made into a saint yesterday at catholic university. there were a lot of references in the pope's speech which require us to go over it and talk a little more in detail. but i was struck by his acknowledgment in a way of why many in the native american community in california are upset by this move by him to maybe junipero serra a saint. he said those comments were turbulent and violent, it's difficult to judge the past by criteria of the present. nonetheless, when a stranger in front of us. he he was trying to explain himself about this new saint, i think. >> sure. we'll come to that in one second. first, let's pick up the business about the four americans, what i'm going to call in today's column the pope's fantastic four. francis operates on many levels. the pastoral and spiritual level, but also a very politically savvy

first jesuit pope, the first pope [ indiscernible ] [ cheers and applause ]

so he kind of closed the loop and went among them, a jesuit among jesuits except he comes to them in quite a different form. >> i think it's important that we went to a jez you et because that embraces his intellectualism. that's what many are yearning for these days. >> what would the united states catholic church be without the jesuits universities. >> georgetown, loyola marymount, loyola baltimore. >> yeah. >> absolutely. all right, as you see, the camera panning there looking at all of these crowds who are departing, who are now leaving the final mass of the pope's visit to the united states and bringing with them home to their families wherever in the world they're going, his message of love and hope. we are going to take a quick break back on the other side. we'll be joined by miguel marquez who is amongst them. vo: today's the day. more and more people with type 2 diabetes are learning about long-acting levemir®. as my diabetes changed, it got harder to control my blood sugar. today, i'm asking about levemir®. vo: levemir® is an injectable insulin that can give you blood sugar

he is jesuit. >> i got to meet amazing women in my life. i hope to god, we're all here together the at st. joes a community and most beautiful thing ever. >> reporter: pilgrims came all over the world for this moment to share an open air mass said by the holy father, no matter that some could not see from where they were, it was an experience they will never forget. >> it felt to me like bring 122 countries together, however many it was, it felt communal. >> pope francis is for the masses. he will bring change in the catholic church. >> reporter: back live at the knotted grotto where so many people shared their troubles ape prayers leaving their own ribbons, reading others, just another success in what has been one amazing week for the faithful here in philadelphia. live from the cathedral i'm nora muchanic for channel six "action news". >> nora, thank you. >>> now to that unscheduled stop at st. joseph's university. once word got out hundreds of students showed up to see francis bless a new statue on campus.

he was a jesuit provincial.the church in argentina. it was during the dirty war. it was divided politically. it was divided e edd eclisially. he encouraged his young jesuits live with the poor learn from the poor there you'll find your peace. it's been consistent his whole life really in his ministry. just build on that. when i went to argentina immediately after france lyly francis' election i asked if this was pr or real and said go out and ask. and we took seven or eight people and we stopped them and said what can you tell me about the former archbishop now pope? before they answered they went into tin shacks and wooden sacks they called homes and found these prized photos that showed the new pope baptizing their kids confirming their kids sitting in the living room when the husband died because that's where he spent his time. actually that parish in this slum had a mass to celebrate his election as pope. and the pastor invited everyone to bring their pictures. thousands of people showed up with pictures of

you are a jesuit. you take a vow of poverty. 99% of the people in that audience in st. pat's don't take that vow. will that be an issue. will the pope try to address that. >> no, because the pope doesn't judge people before he meets them. he will say something that of a firms and challenges. that's the role of a pastor. accompany people and affirm how god is already at work in their lives, the good work they are doing but also to challenge and to say, because, the gospel is a per pet to al challenge. it's constant -- perpetual challenge. it's constantly calling forth response to god. an affirmation and challenge. those are the twin pillars of what he refers to as a dialogue. they referred to that 12 times in congress. >> has he ruffled feathers because he has taken a vow of poverty and some others have not. >> sure he has. it's always important to remember that religion, like jesuits, dominicans, franciscans, we take vows of poverty. di oso san priests, the vast majority don't take a vow of poverty. common misunderstanding. he has rough felled feathers because he thinks

. >> is that part of his jesuit upbringing. >> it's in part. like every other priest in the religious order, he took vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. this is something about how he thinks about the papacy. he doesn't think of it as being a monarch. he sees his job as a ministry of service there, touching a young person on the head. >> what does that mean? is there a special be symbolism for that or is it just effect another? >> it's a form of blessing. he was probably using his thumb to make a small cross on the person's forehead. that's an indelible moment that stays with a person for years. >> there he is, getting into the front seat of that fiat. this will be part of -- we shouldn't over emphasize, this is going to be an extremely secure motorcade. >> it only takes him five minutes to get to the white house. >> they have cleared the streets around washington, and mike viqueira, our senior washington correspondent is waiting on the other end. mike, i can tell you we are seeing live pictures, the hope has just gotten into his fiat and

he is the pope of first obviously, pope francis is the first jesuit pope and the first from the southern hemisphere. his favorite person was his grandmother rosa who helped raise him, taught him his first words of italian. he's a big supporter of san lorenzo football club, the team that represents his childhood neighborhood. you've seen them in pictures with the jers they presented him. gifted a personalized jersey by the boston celtics. he also graduated in chemistry and worked as a chemist before entering the seminary. there's so much that we know about him. he's got over 7 million twitter followers followers. but we were talking about do we know so much about him because of this generation that we're in that's just information or is it something about him? >> did you mention he was a bouncer? >> he was a bouncer. that's right. >> did you mention his first girlfriend? >> yeah, that's right. he was really in love with her. >> he had a girlfriend when he was a teenager. he had a girlfriend. there are a number of people that know him who said, if i can't marry her, i'm going to become a p

he's the first jesuit pope. explain the significance of that to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. >> the jesuit order is 476 years old is and it is the thirst time in the history of the order a jesuit has been elected pope. we have not seen a pope from the religious order since mid 19th century. so we're used to popes who dpram a diocese. as a jesuit he comes with the spirit and care. but the jesuit's also a missionary order. coming from that he wants to go as he says to the peripheries. he wants to go to the frontiers, to those new place where is the gospel has to be heard. and sometimes those peripheries are place where is the gospel has been for hundreds of years and forgotten and he wants to claim it back. >> exciting day here in the capitol. jeff zelny is just outside the u.s. capitol. set the scene where you are. >> we're on the east side of the capitol. so basically between the capitol and the supreme court. you can see behind me there are hundreds of people who have gather gathe

that's never about that the way jesuits do it. we talk about finding god in all things, not just in church on sundays, and francis exemplifies that in very real ways. people see his faith, his commitment to the poor is very real. he's dealing with people. i just heard this morning that here's a guy who spent all day yesterday with people, giving talks, celebrating mass, and you think today before he addresses congress, he'd want to hide away somewhere -- >> let me ask you this. >> he's out with the crowd. >> should the pope shy away from political issues? >> well, i don't see and he doesn't see and jesuits in general don't see a dichotomy between real life with all its messiness and your faith. god is to be found in all these different relationships. that's what makes him so real. i think people identify with that, say well, yeah, it's not way out there somewhere. it's -- >> you have been in this town now for decades. have you ever seen this town turn on a dime where all of a sudden they are talking about issues of faith as oppose

so, jesuits are an order of the catholic church.hey're an order of priests and brothers, founded in the 16th 16th century by ignatius loyola and 0 most of our work is education. so we have 62 high schools in the country, 28 jesuit universities and colleges, and our message is that we want our students to become men and women for others. we want them to take the gifts that god has given them and go out and help people. so, whether they have a career in media, business, whatever they do, whether they're in the creative arts, they're going to take the gifts and talents and use them to help others, and clearly this is the message the pope is telling us, we all need to embrace. so it's -- but it's particularly poignant for us and our students. >> i happen it is for young people. they might be able to fix this at some point. inclusion and hope. i like it. nice to see you. >> thank you. >> republican presidential candidates didn't waste time commenting on speaker boehner's plan to quit congress. some happened to be speaking at a conservati

you have jesuits and, of course, francescans here. >> and at least one jesuit in the room because it's the name pope francis. >> yes. >> after the francescans. >> we often talk about the unity and we have all of -- the technical term is unique identities of different outfits within the church and among religious orders and then, of course, there's the geographic spread of the church. 1.2 million catholics and catholicism in subsaharan territory is different than that is northern europe and yet with all of that the word is unity and the catholic word for that is communion and that, of course, is what we've just witnessed. >> what we just witnessed and now a hymm that is familiar to anyone who has attended a catholic mass. let's listen in. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >>> let us keep prayerful moments for a brief silence. >> let us pray. we pray, oh lord, so that sustain the body and blood of your only begotten son we may be -- the peace that he has left us who lives, reigns forever and ever. >> amen. >> at every single mass, every single day, we pray for and in union with francis our pope and now here you

there is a thing so the pope is a jesuit member of jesus and the first jesuit pope and going back tohe 1500s are indifferent and what they meant by that is not that you shouldn't care but if you are with rich or poor people, if you are healthy, if you are sick you should find a way in the space you are to spread the message of god and that is incredible because jesuit have been all over the world and king and princess and in the 80s and work with the poorest of the poor and we are seeing and have been seeing for the last 2 1/2 years a master class of jesuit. >> jesus embraced life as he found it the pope said yesterday. underty, unkept or broken, embrace life as it is and not as you think it should be. >> that's right. that was his speech to the bishops and so one of the things that he talks about is he said that priests and bishopshould have what he calls the smell of the sheep. this is a traditional metaphor in christianity. >> if you are a kris christian. >> you should not be disengaged from your people and hard to say the words right here but if they were sheep and he was the she

priest, as a young jesuit priest and the first jesuit to ascend to the papacy.ment to kneel and a moment of pause and reflection. while he's been surrounded mostly as he's been escorted into st. patrick's here in washington, d.c., they have allowed him a moment of peace to himself. he bows his ned prayer, it appears. it's hard to imagine that the numbers that we have been given that there are 300 people is a total number that they can allow in this church. i'm sure there are reasons for that, perhaps by fire commission. however, it's just a rough looksy at the number as he walked in. it appears to me to be well over 300 and just lined the building as he made his way in. the pope having a moment of levity with one of the cardinals here. i wonder if he's getting instruction. i can't imagine him giving instructions, he may be giving the instructions as he will preside over this luncheon in stats in washington, d.c. this has been most fascinating to watch the procedure. we'll take a break and we'll be back as we continue our coverage of pope francis's visit to ameri

to reform. >> the jesuits ignored other older jesuits and they chose him.said to me, you know, we look to him as a kind of -- he was the storm pilot. you know, he was the one who needed to take the tiller in the storm and it's interesting how this has been a consistent theme actually throughout his life, that when the church is in crisis, they look to him. >> his first turn at leadership was as he admitted in a magazine interview troubled. "my style of government as a jesuit at the beginning had many faults. i was only 36 years old. that was crazy. i had to deal with difficult situations and i made my decisions abruptly and by myself. it was my authoritarian way of making decisions that created problems." six years later he took on a different leadership role as head of the jesuit college. at the college, he lived in this small simple apartment looking now much like it did back then. >> translator: he is a quiet and simple man. a sign of a great leader is to be a good listener, and he is one of the greatest in that respect. >> father angel rossi was at the

i never thought we'd ever see a jesuit pope but we have and i think you can -- there's a really jesuitlavor to this pope and it's-- >> in what way? for example? >> i think his care for the poor, his intelligence. he's articulate. and he has absolute inintegrity. so he lives what -- integrity. he lives what he says. it's not just pushing the marketing line. >> it's really exciting to have the pope come to the united states. mike and i actually as little kids or maybe a little older saw him when he came back in 1987. at candlestick park. it made a lasting impression on us. anyone who sees the pope, what do you think is so attractive of actually seeing the holy father in person? >> i think it's his speaking grit and the fact that he's -- he's not an actor on a stage. he's genuinely committed to the poor. it's not ideological. eight not political. it's because he's spent so much time with the poor and knows what the world looks like from their perspective and he knows how things don't work for the poor and is deeply committed to reordering society so that these people have the opportunity

it is important time. >> and this is the first visit of the jesuit pope, and please explain why this is going to provide a certain key to understanding who this pope is. >> well, i know that i am biased as a jesuit myself, but we have a certain spirituality that says we have to find god in all thing, and it is a broad-minded spirituality, but it is the first pope since the 19th century who has taken a vow of poverty, and so when he entered the jesuits is the vow of poverty, and so it is something that we are seeing, and something that people are responding to. >> after some of the scandals within the catholic church here in the united states, and indeed, around the world, some catholics left the faith, and do you believe that the pope's visit here to the united states will bring some of the catholics back to the church? >> i believe it is, and it has. and i give a lot of parish talk, and people by the dozen says that i have left the church, and i feel reconnected because of francis, and so he is making more people feel welcomed in the church. >> is he going to be speaking of the cont
