in the fifth place i would say john paul ii has a lay soul. those of you who have read crossing the threshold, and gifted mystery, know there are more young men in seminaries today because of this man than because of any other single factor of the time. on the other hand, this priestly priest, this very priestly priest is the first hope in centuries who for many years intended to live his christian vocation as a layman, and who confesses in threshold and gifted mystery it was a wrestling match when he first felt the finger of god fallen his life, offering him the possibility of a priestly vocation. the pope's press spokesman for the past 17 years, a man who knows john paul ii very well, told me once when they were on vacation together in the dolomites, he said to the pope "holy father, you have a priest's heart and a lay head." what did he say? joaquin said his eyebrows went up for a minute but he didn't disagree. if you had spoken to any of the popes of the past 200 years about their early experience of the priesthood, what was it like, the p

where's john paul now? it turned out he lived just a few blocks north. >> there had been insufficient evidence to arrest john paul phillips for either murder, but in susan schumake's murder, police finally got a break. at susan's autopsy, the medical examiner found two foreign hairs on her body, presumably from her killer. >> one was a body hair, one was a pubic hair that was recovered from susan's body. >> phillips willingly provided hair samples for comparison. based on microscopic examination, phillips' hair was not similar, so he was eliminated as a suspect. despite the hair analysis, susan's family was convinced that john paul phillips was susan's killer. >> and they didn't take phillips into custody at the time. they didn't arrest him or charge him, which i didn't understand at the time, because i thought that they had enough reason to. >> later, phillips committed several assaults that landed him in jail. >> he went out to the devil's kitchen, spotted a young lady and her boyfriend at one of the camp

in the third instance i would say john paul the second has a marion soul. those who have read crossing the threshold of hope, the pope's book of 1994, or his vocational memoir will remember that he says during his childhood and adolescence he had a , andntional marian piety by 1938 he thought he should put that aside to concentrate more directly on christ. ystalicalittle mr. introduced the writings of a french three loggi theologn to maryok true devotion by the dim light that devotionhat all true to mary leads directly to her son, into the mystery of the incarnation, made possible by and into the life of the holy trinity itself. developed thiss idea of true devotion to mary and a profound way that i believe will have a dramatic affect on how the entire church thinks of itself in the 21st century. december 1987 the pope gave his annual address to the senior -- rs of the roman this happens every year. the pope gives a discourse. in 1987 thesion pope gave a remarkable address in which he said that mary's church, the church of disciples, the church of all , per

it's not very different than john paul ii's message. nobody spoke out about against capitalism louder than john paul ii did. as loud as he spoke out against communism. francis is the same way. this is a different and at the same time continuing sort of ball game that we're seeing. >> well, let's take a little bit of a look at both of these propositions. one about how far this pope may go not just compared to john paul ii but really compared to anything that congress hazarded in this way before. he referred to capitalism as the dung of the devil. no subtlety to that expression. if he goes before congress and makes the case that seems to be most basic with this pope is you have a lot of money, you don't spend it in the right ways it should change. yes, he'll fold that into global warming and the conservation of humanity. if that's the thrust of the capitalist of his discussion what do you think congress does with a message like that. >> i think they listen. i think they're own debate about culture warfare and republicans and democrats are

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 they thought about john the 23rd two. there is a pendulum swing often observed between a long papacy and a short one. when they finally got rid of that long papacy of john paul, and benedict in addition to that, then they do say we need a little fresh air in this place. >> you have talked about, okay i am short. you talked about the steps he is taken to shift culture, wh

john paul ii was that way. do they factor in the time it takes to do that, to mingle with the people? is the pontiff on time? >> they do. i was talking with the guy who organizes the trips. he says that's one of the problems because he basically walks in a room, he will want to try to greet everybody in turn. that's not always possible. sometimes they have to sort of guide him. i think that's sort of a continual let's say pleasant tug of war with security. >> we are told there are 30 some odd high schoolers who actually won a lottery to get to this moment. you know, this pope speaks a lot of languages. english isn't one of them. >> he's been working on it. some of the speeches will be in english. we have seen him do it. he's clearly comfortable in spanish and italian and i think he goes back to spanish whenever he can because he's really comfortable in that. >> this is a pontiff who took the lead in addressing the sex scandals and the rest that had bedeviled the church. much more proactive, firing even some bis

here's how pope john paul ii put it. i do not think he is saying anything that is idiosyncratic in this regard. meanne said, it does not that it is medically sealed from economic concerns. that is an economic fundamental mistake. a fundamental philosophical category, by which of you are catholic you want to reflect on. the intrinsic dignity of a person. solidarity. subsidiarity. the common good. the categories you must and to bring to these categories. it is not going to answer every single question. that is a venture question based on your analysis and conclusion based on the empirical details as far as you understand them. pope benedict the 16th, pope francis is immediate necessity that this way. before he was pope, when he was head of the doctrine of faith, he was talking about morality and economics and how he thought these things should interact. as, yes, catholic teaching is not a third way. it is not a fully filled out system, but neither is it adverse to rhetorical. , a morality that believes it self able to disp

in the past, we are told it was customary for pope benedict and pope john paul ii, saint john paul ii for them to take out the first class seats and set up a bed and make it more comfortable for those pontiffs but pope francis we're told insisted he wants no special treatment. so he will be sitting on a regular seat, on this plane, behind me, and of course, pope benedict and pope john paul ii were a bit more frail compared to pope francis. but he has had a very full last few days. so you would think maybe he would want to use the 45 minutes to rest up before philly but he is insisting on no special treatment. and i also want to mention, too, among the crowd here, we had a chance to speak earlier with a girl, 15 years old, in a wheelchair, and has suffered from cerebral palsy, her whole life. she is here with her father, they just found out about a day ago, he said, that they were able to come here, and they just were talking about how amazing it is, they used the word awesome, to get the opportunity to come to see the leader of the catholic faith. they say they are very devout. we ask

it was started by john paul ii and given importance by him. benedict took on the last one and benedict did the last one in milan. as you pointed out, this is the reason we ended up with the pope in the united states. he committed to this. i wouldn't say the u.s. get tacked on in the white house. but this was the reason. and this was the main motivation. and it is essentially because of the importance of the family. now, pope francis, you know, recognizes that there are a lot of people -- not everything is black and white. of course he's going to support the traditional family. he realizes not everything is black and white. he gave great support to a single mom. he said i know a lot of people look at you badly. they look at you somehow as scant. but be proud of yourself and carry on. walk with your head high. it was very interesting. i think he recognizes the family is not only under threat but the typical problems and difficulties they have. and the church has to help it along. >> why the selection of independence hall? u.s. constitution, decl

how pope john paul ii put it. he said the social doctrine is not a way between marxist collectivism. it constitutes a category of its own. it does not mean that the principles, they are sealed from economic concern. what it means is they provide a which moral categories you ought to reflect on. person,ity of the human the destination of good, good, you, the common ought to bring these categories to questions. it's not going to answer every single question. that's a prudential question based upon your analysis and empiricals based upon details as far as you understand them. put it veryt nicely. pope, he put it this.ay for i take it's not a third way. it is not irrelevant to moral questions. that believes itself able to dispense with the technical knowledge of economic laws is not morality, but moralism. it is the antithesis of morality. he goes on to put it exactly the other way. when these things come together we have a hold is much greater than the sum of its parts. the are appreciative of the good that economic

butch was part of the mounted patrol in 1979 when pope john paul ii came to philadelphia.he morning the pope went to the civic center, butch and three other mounted patrol officers were sent around back. you're thinking you're not going to see the pope. >> no, no. >> but for some reason the secret service directed the pope behind the civic center before coming out to meet the crowd in front. >> he gets out of the car and looks at the horse like i'm looking at this horse, all right, and my heart's beating through my chest, because my horse is named bruno and he was a little nuts. >> riders will tell you horses sometimes get very nervous, even wild, when a stranger touches their face. >> the pope goes like this, puts his hand and makes the sign of the cross. he taps the horse on the head, and the horse didn't move, like it was mesmerized. >> bruno didn't move a muscle, but when the pope got back into his car and went out front to meet the crowd -- >> i kissed this horse like it was my wife, i kissed this horse. i could have swore, this was going to go bad. >> but you got to

with john paul ii, saint john paul ii and pope benedict, the dynamic was that the press was very criticalf them leading up to their visits about how they're out of touch, one called benedict still in the fifth century, that sort of stuff because they're out of tune with abortion, gay marriage, with the priesthood, et cetera. when it came to hard news, when the pontiff arrived in washington, whether it was john paul, whether it was benedict, very positive because the hard news you saw the celebration, so it was very positive, and then it became negative afterwards. with this pope, it's been very positive leading up to the trip because they like him. they like him for political reasons. he's a very political pope, and as a political pope he's taken very strong stands on global warming. he's taken strong stands on wealth distribution and things of that nature. so that's the first dynamic. the second dynamic is that this pope is terrible, terrible when it comes to public relations. he's made one mistake after another where he gives interviews or says things off the cuff that have gotten him i

is a great moment, and also a moment, jim, that is reflective of what happened in 1979 when saint john paul, ii came into philadelphia, the first visit of a holy father that we had in philadelphia. it is exactly what happened then too. it is the same thing. great cheers. >> do you know the number of bishops that are there? >> so, the holy father is greeting, the bishops and some of the archbishops there and i think, it is a couple hundred, yeah, a couple of hundred. they were here participating in the world meeting of families, and they have come here also, for his, for his visit. you know, for the official papal visit here in philadelphia. >> archbishop chapu to the left side, bush of timothy senior the director on the other. let's listen to archbishop chaput as he welcomes everyone. >> your holiness, my dear brother bishops, archbishop palia, dear friend in christ, we began our planning for this world meeting of families with archbishop palia and his staff nearly three years ago. we didn't know what to expect. the the church in philadelphia was facing some very hard financial and legal pr

the first time john paul ii came to the united states it was in boston.xciting moment not just for an american but also for catholics. i see the expression on young people's faces. it's an amazing thing one people face. it's one thing to hear it in school or watch it on tv but to experience it and watch it, it's a very special occasion. today, this morning, my wife and i were at st. patrick's holy cathedral, i thought i might be able to see my friend tim dolan. the place was -- there's so much excitement there, brian, people were just waiting, almost anticipated the holy father's visit the to united states. it's not about politics. i wish we wouldn't make it political. it is not. this is about a man that is going to inspire catholics and non-catholics and god knows we need it in america today. politicians aren't doing it. we need somebody who will do it. >> a friend of mine in the clergy who has a robust sense of humor said to me "this pope is good for business." and he meant that in the nicest way. in a non-cynical way. it's good for getting pri parishio

because 36 years ago when pope john paul flew into philadelphia, that was actually his first stop here the delaware valley. ironically when pope francis leaves, he will leave through philadelphia international airport. so we've got paul coming in, francis leaving. and in both cases students from the high school in delaware county have been and are very involved. ♪ >> reporter: the o'hara band has been practicing for months. that's senior caroline dimico conducting. the student conductor and drum major showed me part of what she'll wear when the band says good-bye to pope francis at the airport. >> i'm so excited. it's such an honor and it's something that's really one of a kind. >> reporter: one of a kind in 2015, but in 1979, scott sanford was the drum major when o'hara's band welcomed pope john paul ii's visit. sanford says it was a once in a life time opportunity. >> i was excited the whole time. you're talking about a young man of 17. >> reporter: scott and his band from o'hara and a band from cardinal dockerty entertained the thousands who crowded the tarmac to see the holy father

pope john paul ii, of course, was a great beings that vert. he had the ability to speak with great drama,s specially in his younger years before was incapacitated with parkison's disease. he had the timing of an actor. pope benedict was a bit much more of an introvert. pope francis also has hesitate own personality. but each one is basically presenting the g.o.p. in all its richness and as said yesterday on the plane coming from cuba to the united states that what he has been saying is in full conformity with the body of catholic social teaching he has not deviated from what his predecessors have also taught. in other words, is as lathth catholic as benedict and as john paul ii. >> archbishop, thank you, sir, for joining us. >> thank you. >> and tomorrow is a big day for pope francis addressing a joint session of congress, but, today, likewise, a very busy day. >> [cheers and applause] father, on behalf of michelle and myself, welcome to the white house. >> mr. president, once again, i thank you for your welcome. and i look forward to these da
