not on the scale of when pope john paul ii weather. was here in 1979 but clearly, an enthusiastic crowd. we saw that atmosphere last night at croke park, a jamboree to mark the world meeting of families, the official reason for pope francis being here this weekend, and that will be the final mass of the event that he will say here in phoenix park in dublin later on today. what is your sense of the reaction to francis that you have seen from people here in ireland on this visit? people will comment about the differences between the visits. we are not comparing like with like. in 1979 there was a visit to ireland, at the numberof 1979 there was a visit to ireland, at the number of different venues. this was a visit for the international meeting of families hosted by the archdiocese of dublin. in1979, hosted by the archdiocese of dublin. in 1979, pope john paul ii said here ami in 1979, pope john paul ii said here amlon my in 1979, pope john paul ii said here am i on my goal of the visit of ireland, but because of health and safety and all

let's compare john paul ii with francis. john paul ii grew up. under communism. he knew what that kind of system would do. and he wrote some of the greatest support. i think he's very colored. i think when he hears the word capitalism he thinks urgent here capitalism. it's not the competitive kind of capitalism that most of us think of. i think it's called the pictured -- picture of society. they draw on that team that team in great detail showing exactly pope francis he just used it different than the economists who are writing it. we are in agreement to him. the crony capitalism is not good task. it dropped argentina from the proper ranks of the society now. is that what we want at all. the pope has talked quite a bit from in quinn -- income inequality. what is your view. income inequality i think we all are agreed that poverty is something that is there. they are living on a dollar a day is a bad thing. and capitalism is a great track record for eliminating that kind of absolute poverty. poverty could be a good thing. "of this harder to pin down what the optim

bill had decided to run for attorney general two years after losing to john paul hammerschmidt. he had two primary contenders in the democratic primary. he won quite handily, actually, in the primary race and did not have a contender in the general election. so he is running his northwest arkansas part of the attorney general's campaign from here in the dining room. because he didn't have a general election opponent, he was able to work on behalf of jimmy carter in 1976, and he was carter's arkansas chair. carter won 65% of the arkansas vote that year. during the time he was running the arkansas carter campaign, hillary actually went to indiana and ran the carter campaign there and helped set up campaign offices and things like that. their lives were very much about political campaigns and working on behalf of democrats across the country. bill became the attorney general rather easily in 1976, and two years later would become the country's youngest governor in 1978. when bill and hillary were married, hillary kept her maiden name rodham would have been unusual in 1975 across th

john paul ii was the first pope to visit the country which, at the time, was often described as the mostholic in the world. tomorrow, pope francis will arrive on a transformed ireland. the church's influence is much diminished and its reputation badly damaged. people who were abused in children's homes run by religous orders are preparing to protest. they want the pope to say sorry on behalf of the church and go further. we're asking him to apologise and, not only that, to fork up and do what's right.

the pope will plant and irish oak tree post to the oak tree planted by john paul ii in 1979. then the pope will make his way to dublin castle where i am speaking to you from he will be the irish prime minister, the taoiseach, leo varadkar. and he will deliver a speech. that is one of the key parts of this visit to look out for. what will he said on the subject of the abuse of children? will he set out any concrete measures to deal with those who abuse or those who cover up abuse? that is what many are looking for. the eyes of the world are on ireland this weekend for what the pope might say on that subject in the wake of further revelations around the world on abuse, including, most recently, that grand jury including, most recently, that grand jury report in pennsylvania which

john paul ii was the first pope to visit the country, which at the time was often described as the most catholic in the world. tomorrow, pope francis will arrive on a transformed ireland. the church's influence is much diminished, and its reputation badly damaged. people who were abused in children's homes run by religious orders are preparing to protest. they want the pope to say sorry and a half of the church and go further. we're asking him to apologise, and not only that, to fork up and do what's right, out of the money that they have. it's not all about money, i know that. but that's the only form ofjustice that people are going to get, especially elderly people whose lives have been ruined. the revelations aren't over yet, especially in northern ireland.

he arrived late in knock, john paul ii, in 1979. he was not able to travel around in the chorales.ointed at that. the pope has travelled in a closed car cavalcade from the airport, to the outskirts of the shrine estate itself. he is getting into the popemobile. any people coming to see the pope, they want to see him in a popemobile, don't they? he is going to travel around a short route around the estate of the shrine. approximatelyjust over one kilometre in length. giving people a better chance to see him. i hope you can hear us all over the sounds in the background, where there are performances on the stage here in dublin for those beginning to gather for the mass here later. this is the knock shrine. and on the right of the picture is the basilica, one of the picture is the basilica, one of the largest churches in ireland. standing rule 15,000 people, and recently renovated. a fantastic rebuilding and refurbishment. it is beautiful, there is a major tapestry in there commemorating the apparition. the popemobile is making its way around. 39 years ago, pope john paul ii was in gal

opinion one can see that you know there is much more of a polarization resonating twenty nine when john paul visited ireland the situation the demographic the religious demographics of the country were quite different the expectation is of course on the pope to see if anything will be said concerning protocol and policies of the bout to go because there's a huge cause and growing course in pressure on the catholic church to take concrete action we talked to in fact an activist who was working for an organization to end abuse by because you let's take a listen to what he had to say fust the church is the largest global institution and i'm sad to sign one having been brought up or catholic that it is to use a business term it's the market leader in criminality in this particular area and i think pope francis has the whole i've used and it's time he did something concrete not just it's you need him out apologies. so we saw them i mean a call for action is what people want at the moment and you see any action it's not known i mean there's been a change in tone so the letter that was featured onl

john paul ii.ing the church has been through, it must be very important that the pope has decided to come back here. i think so. i think the people of ireland welcome him here. i think people of northern ireland would have liked for him to be there to. he engaged —— he encourage eve ryo ne to. he engaged —— he encourage everyone to engage further with the reconciliation process. it is important for ordinary everyday families across the world. it is important because families in their different manifestations experienced so different manifestations experienced so many difficult situations. coming together, they learned they are not alone. they learned that there are those there to support them and they feel that their family is part of the biggerfamily feel that their family is part of the bigger family of the church. and there is certainly an affirmation of faith if you look across phoenix park today. all these people gathering in the wind and the rain. everyone here from the families here today, t

john paul ii, he is anti-communist and beloved by the poles.ressures are forcing the pole live government to figure out how to keep control. >> the strike by polish ship yard workers is over. for the polish strikers, it was a day worthy of hyperbole, lech walesa telling his followers we are now co-masters of this land. >> lech walesa and solidarity are showing that you could have an independent union in a communist country and the question was how independent were they going to be allowed to be? >> how the u.s. deals with poland, with the eastern bloc and with russia, the early challenges for the foreign policy of the president-elect ronald reagan. >> reagan had spent much of his career blasting the soviet union and attacking any republican or democrat who said we can negotiate. he had been the leading opponent of detente in the 1970s, the policy of trying to ease relations with the soviets. what he disliked about detente was that they were hitting the negotiating team as equals. reagan thought there are two superpowers, but we have moral super

father eamon, you remember pope john paul this area. remember popejohn paul ii's visit to ireland in 1979, you were a boy scout as you were telling us earlier, and you are helping out, assisting with the visit to the knock shrine where pope francis went this morning. how does this compare? the weather hasn't changed! i understand that this one will be smaller, but that is not due to lack of interest. there was a huge deal made about health and safety, about having tickets and so on, and there seems to be a lot of confusion, u nfortu nately, seems to be a lot of confusion, unfortunately, maybe inevitably with this kind of an organisation. but certainly those people who have turned out, coming a long distance, having to walk quite a distance to get in here, it really is quite a pilgrimage really, and it is wonderful to see people making that effort. father eamon conway, thank you very much. looking on over the big crowds as we wait on the pope to begin the maths here, still quite a while, i imagine, to work his way through the crowds. he

a different atmosphere from 1979, and the adulation that greeted john paul ii. of that to you. right now, back to the studio. thank you very much. now on bbc news, it's time for the travel show. mauritius, a force of nature in the middle of the indian ocean. mauritius is marking the 50th year of independence from british colonial rule, but the intriguing, rich and sometimes dark story of this island nation goes back way before then. 0n myjourney, i'm going to explore the history of mauritius. see and taste how multiculturalism works here. mmmm, that is nice. this island is so often labelled as just a luxury beach paradise, but the reality is so much more fascinating than that. mauritius, gorgeous beaches, turquoise waters and lush vegetation, but the human story is just as awe—inspiring. le morne mountain, on the south—west of the island, faces in the direction of madagascar and stands 555 metres high. it's also at a a5—degree incline. no walk in the park. for the likes of me, this is a challenging climb, i've got to say. in fact, i'd say for anybody it's challe

nella mike when john paul ii clerical sexual abuse. i went to their catholic school, attended a youth group in a convent. the church was everywhere in my life, and that was a good thing. but within a year and a half of that visit, i was raped by a catholic priest, who had been ordained for months beforejohn priest, who had been ordained for months before john paul priest, who had been ordained for months beforejohn paul ii‘s visit, even though the church knew he was abusing people before that visit. i rememberjohn paul ii saying asela gunaratne is a crowd of 300,000 young people, young people of ireland, —— john paul young people, young people of ireland, ——john paul ii saying, as he looked out across a crowd of 300 young people, young people of ireland, i love you. it is pretty heartbreaking. given all that has come to light over that period, and the fact that you are sadly one of very many people who have had similar experiences, what is the response you will have to do is visit and what are you planning as pope francis comes to dubl

has planted an irish oak tree in the park wherejohn planted an irish oak tree in the park where john paulish oak tree in the park wherejohn paul ii planted an oak tree almost four decades ago. this is a visit that is going to be dominated by serious questions that pope francis has to answer. whether he will answer those questions in terms of what the judge is going to do to deal with those who abuse children and those who cover up the abuse of children, we don't know. he is expected to mention that in his speech at dublin castle lives little later and we will bring that speech to you. but whether he issues an apology, which he has done before, 01’ apology, which he has done before, or whether he goes beyond that, we are waiting to hear the details of what he has to say. but undoubtedly, that issue of the abuse of children by catholic priests and catholic run institutions is the dominant issue of this visit. the official reason for the visit is his presence at the world meeting of families, an event thatis world meeting of families, an event that is held every three years, hosted in dublin

. >> is francis different than benedict or john paul? >> there are important. he grew up under communism in poland. he wrote the greatest support to the free market economy to see that you talk about but on the other hand argentina i think he is very colored by that society. >> he thinks argentine capitalist that is rare to have friends in the government i really think that is a picture of society there is a chapter in the book from the aspen institute that draws it out in detail to show that exactly how pope francis views capitalism different than those who write it and we agree it isn't a good path that jobs argentina from the top-ranked of the society so that's not what we want all. >> the pope talks about income inequality what is your view? >> income inequality should be different from poverty we all agree it is absolute going on a dollar a day it is a bad thing but they have a great track record to eliminate that absolute poverty take on voluntary poverty like monasteries and things like that but it is harder to pin down exactly the optimal amount for any

and he had decided to run against john paul hammerschmidt. he had actually asked several other people to run against hammerschmidt, a very popular republican in the third district, and nobody else wanted to do it. they wanted to run for other things, and he finally decided maybe it should be him. and everyone thought he was fighting a losing battle, and probably he was and he knew it, but he openly says he didn't think it could hurt his future chances at other offices, and he was absolutely correct. that early campaign in '74, he lost to hammerschmidt by only about 6,000 votes which was pretty remarkable for a newcomer against a very broad republican district. and he often says that losing that congressional election enabled him to go to the white house. if he had won the election for congress, he would have gone to washington and stayed there. but his decision to stay here in arkansas, be the governor, eventually led to his bid for the white house. one of the fun things about this room, the dining room, where most people would use it as a di

half the population of ireland turned out to see pope john paul in 1979., homosexuality, contraception and divorce were illegal. now ireland is very much changed. an ireland that is very different from 1979 when a pope was last among us. an ireland i suppose a bit more divided in terms of social issues and religious issues and so on. but i think everybody will be touched by the warmth of pope francis, by his sense of proximity particularly to vulnerability. the famous popemobile will come through the centre of dublin this afternoon and there is certainly a sense of celebration and excitement building here. because despite a decline in the church's authority, this is still predominantly a catholic country where the pope has the power to draw the crowds. his visit also draws protests with campaigners voicing frustration on issues such as the church's refusal to ordain female priests. but the feel—good factor of this visit is gaining momentum. for many the pope's presence brings hope that confidence in the church can be renewed. before pope francis spoke at d

when i sued john paul ii to get the truth of what he knew about the rape an abuse in ireland. i want the pope to tell the truth. he hasn't done that yet. i listened to john. he talked about paper am apologies. i haven't seen a single papal apology in years. i seen regret, sorrow, devastation at the pain and suffering of people like me. i seen condemnations of pedophile priests the appalling depravity of that abuse and the coverup. i have never seen a semple truth being stated. >> that is that the vatican at the most senior level including popes draengtd implemented a coverup of the abuse of hundreds of thousands of people across the world that this wasn't a failure of culture as we are hearing now, that they didn't understand or know or have in-depth knowledge, that it was a deliberate willful only in to check the institution, the power and money and it was codified into laws and norms. from that, from truth can flowkability, justice, change. we get nowhere if we don't have truth? i learned it from my parents and i learned it from the church. so the church needs to stand for tr

. >> reporter: when pope john paul ii last visited ireland in 1979, 2 1/2 million catholics turned out. only a fraction of that crowd is expected to greet pope francis this weekend. >> it will be a different tone. i don't think everyone will be jumping for joy. >> reporter: one group of protesters is sending their own message allegedly getting hundreds of tickets to one event with no intention of showing up. the pope's visit unfolds in the shadow of yet another round of abuse allegations and cover ups. most prominently from the explosive pennsylvania grand jury report. cardinal who arrived here from chicago calls it a catalog of horrors. >> one sectioncrro pri who mar victims with crucifixes to identify the ones that were easier targets. are you worried that something like this could surface where you are? >> i think that if such a ring existed, we have the measures by which we could detect it. >> reporter: cardinal wuerl from washington and cardinal o'malley from boston canceled their trips to washington from those they suspect to be troubled priests. she said the entire church needs

early forty years this weekend he's expected to draw much smaller numbers and turned out to greet john paul the second decades ago as he struggles to reinvigorate confidence in the church damning new revelations about current and past sex abuse in the u.s. chile and australia have cording to question the leadership of bishops and cardinals accused off protecting predator priests the vatican is facing growing pressure from catholics to cooperate with criminal investigators. joining me now is religious affairs correspondent martin welcome martin this so much of outrage with these latest new revelations which have come out about child abuse and turned into priests what kind of reception do you think the pope is going to get an island i think there is a mixed reception understandably i mean there is a part of a population that is still very much committed a large part of the population that is still very much committed to the got the lead church a couple of churches still a massive presence through the country but at the very same time it's also true that partly i think because of the scandals

at the dedication of the john paul ii center in washington. there were multiple drafts and the staffing process and it wasn't caught until surprisingly, late in the game when somebody said, do you need -- do you mean 1 billion. that never made it into the speech. that's where quality control came in before the president was involved. >> i was very paranoid about making a mistake. you triple check everything and have every -- everybody check things and harassment policy people to check things and never wanting to send out something incorrect or off by a zero or anything like that. it was very nerve-racking. i'm going to get fired if i get this wrong. i can -- this is self-serving -- but i can't think of a major mistake. maybe there was. i do have a good story. this is my naoveti because i was young and really new to washington ways and ranks and titles. there's all of these titles and a deputy outranks and assistance, and all of this stuff. i was on the plane coming back from england with hillary and she was getting a lift. i had gone to colleg

so we wrote this speech about pope john paul. it was about his whole life. it was at the dedication of john paul ii cultural center here in washington. and the speech went through. the speechwriter wrote multiple drafts with the staffers. and somewhere late in the game said, do you mean billions? but that was one of the quality control processes that came in to correct things before the president was involved. >> i was super paranoid about making a mistake. so it was almost ocd. just triple-checking everything and having other people check it, and harassing the policy people to check things. just never wanting to send out something incorrect or off by a zero or anything like that. so it was a very nerve-wracking part of the job, right? you just think, i'm going to get fired if i get something wrong. this is self-serving but i can't think of a major mistake. maybe there were and just never came back. but i do have a good story. this was about washington ranks and titles and there are all these titles and deputy outranks an assistant and all this stuff. so i w

seventy eight percent continue to call themselves catholic but the country has changed since pope john paul the second visited pope francis may find a less enthusiastic welcome. it would be a different tone and i think i will be jumping for joy. quite steps of the generally religion areas but i think it's i think it's no i mean it's going to many here are hoping that pope francis will give them good reason to make peace with the church by taking concrete action on the abuse scandals ireland's prime minister will receive the pontiff dublin castle he's promised to raise the issue with the pope that everything that we know about child sex abuse over the past couple of decades we know from victims we know from advocates we know from government reports including many of our own we don't tend to know where the church admitting its own sense i think that would be a very good place to start five hundred thousand faithful are expected to descend on phoenix park for mass for the pope will be hoping for much more than just his blessing. joining us now from dublin mark vincent he lead who was himself a

the pontiff later comes ahead of a trip to ireland where the last people visit was by john paul the second nearly forty years ago the church's credibility there has been devastated by years of revelations that priests rape and molested children acts hidden all the while by their superiors. mark vincent healy an abuse survivor absorbing the pope's later is critical. and his two thousand words are just too much. really have very little meaning the content the idea that sort of like you can bring about the end of child sexual abuse for example even within the turgid we're going to get this from i mean we're aware. we're aware in the developing countries that there is still suffering from sort of like a lack of spotlight helium it pope francis four years ago as a rule the pontiff tends not to share joel meetings with abuse survivors in advance of his trips skeptics in ireland see any meetings this time around would be tokenistic. ok more now on this story we're joined by our religious affairs correspondent martin welcome to you martin what do you make of the timing of the pope's announcement i

so we wrote this speech about pope john paul. it was about his whole life. it was at the dedication of the john paul ii cultural center here in washington. the speech went through. speech writer, multiple drafts, the staffing process. and it wasn't caught until, surprisingly late in the game when somebody said, do you mean billion? but that never -- that was -- that was where the quality control process came in to correct things before the president was involved. >> yeah. i was super paranoid about making a mistake. it was almost ocd, just triple checking everything, and having other people check it and harassing the policy people to check things. you know, just never wanting to send out something incorrect or off buy a zero or anything like that. so it was a very, very nerve-racking part of job. right? you thought i'm going to get fired if i get something wrong. you know? this is self serving, but i can't think of like a major mistake. maybe there were and just never filtered back. but i do have a good story. no, i have a good story. and this is my naivety

when john paul was here in '79, 2.5 million people total turned out to see him. the whole population of the country at that point was 4 million, meaning more than half the country was in the streets or were in parks or were lining the pope's route. this time around, it just isn't that way. i am surprised by how relatively small and subdued the crowds are. ireland is just a different place. fredericka, the people at the park tonight are having a blast. and this means the world to them. and we should minimize the importance of this experience, but overall, i'm struck by just how low key and how relatively indifferent many irishmen and women seem to feel about the fact that the pope is in town. >> so pope francis, you mentioned that there is this chorus of people who say they want the catholic church to face up to some accountability. will this be -- you know, that kind of defining moment for this pope? will it be -- is the expectation that he will be the one to help deliver on that? >> oh, i very much think that's the case, in part, because pope francis has clearly

. >> it's interesting, because it was 1979 when pope john paul ii made the last trip there.nd at that point, divorce, homosexual acts, and abortion were all illegal. help me understand the atmosphere in which this pope is entering in ireland there. >> reporter: well, i mean, ireland, as you say, is a vastly different country than the one that welcomed john paul ii in 1979. you have seen a fairly rapid process of secularization here. mass attendance rates are down for the catholic church. vocations to the catholic priesthood are down. nevertheless, the church does remain an enormously important social institution here. and you know, i mean, pope francis will draw warm and enthusiastic crowds. tonight in the park he will celebrate a festival of families. you'll see some real enthusiasm there. tomorrow in dublin's phoenix park he will celebrate an open-air mass that is estimated to draw probably around 500,000 people. but that said, clearly, the elephant in the room on this trip are those sexual abuse scandals. and of course, that would be true under any set of circumstances. i
