and i think the difference between this pope pope francis and pope john paul ii, pope john paul ii grewism. this pope grew up in argentina where they had this kind of cronyism, and i think he mistakes what happened in argentina which is not capitalism. stuart: see, my critique is pope francis is indulging in politics. he's moved away from a purely spiritual approach, and he's going towards the political approach. paul ii, his objection to communism was soviet atheism. >> that's a great point. one of things i put many any column -- in my column is i think the pope should be concentrating on saving souls, not the planet. [laughter] and i think he should also recognize as we get more economic growth and we get, you know, better living standards which, by the way, what capitalism creates, that helps lift people out of poverty. i mean, the way i put it, capitalism is the greatest anti-poverty program in the history of civilization. stu institute and you are empirically correct. that is absolutely the truth. >> you're exactly right on the story stuart this pope is extremely influential. he ma

john paul ii did something totally different than this pope. he said it's time to end communism. n said what of the pope, he has no armies, john paul ii sent the communists a big message. he got in partnership with ronald reagan and margaret thatcher, and they rolled it back in poland, and they eventually brought it down can. it took them about 15 years to get it done. charles: right. >> in this situation the pope is responding to the politics because, unfortunately, he's in an insulated situation. he's talking to his college of cardinals. they're mostly in poor areas. the the poor feel disenfranchised by the rich. capitalism has been hugely successful for our society, but we've done a very poor job of messaging about the value, the moral value of capitalism. we lack the communication skills on the right to deliver the message that needs to be delivered to the poor, that they have an aspirational right to live like the rest of the people that are willing to put the effort -- charles: and yet you look around the world, for instance in europe, where they sort of rejected, you know,

during the long pontifficant of john paul ii politicians were happy to site the pope's anti-communismosition to abortion, and stinging critiques of modern death penalties. catholic democrats paid homage to the church's concern for the poor, and had to find the right language to distance themselves from catholic teaching on family planning. >> on a young pontificate. pope francis aligned the church with a search for the planet and scolded those that want to go slow on big changes. will the cyclical have an impact on the politics of the debate. we continue a look at the pastor and the planet. what did you make of both the plain text and the implications of the encyclical? >> i think the implications are the thing that ultimately are going determine where the pope's message ultimately leads, both in terms of catholic theology, how it's feud and the american political scene. now, he pointed out that in essence. we need to take actions, that things need to be done. the question here was what will be done. what will the implications be of all of that. i know that in the conversation with fa

so john, i remember how momentous it was when pope john paul ii apologized for sexual abuse.ig of a deal is this tribunal that will go after bishops? >> well hari, i think it's an enormously big deal if it works as it's been described. the central bone of contention among survivorses of, biews and their advocacy group over the years has been the catholic church has adopted very stern policies for abuse. they've officially embraced zero tolerance. today if a priest is accused of of abusing a minor he's going to be yanked out of ministry and probably ultimately kicked out of the priesthood relatively quickly. their complaint has been there hasn't been a similar system of accountability for bishop hoz covered up these crimes, and that's,ob, the hole that provost is trying to fill. we should say hari, that vatican officials have been at pains to insist that this new system is not intended to replace criminal liability in terms of secular law enforcement. that is, if a bishop's failure to act on a complaint of child abuse constitutes a crime in the place where he lives are the vat

this is pope john paul ii on a trip to chile in 1997. visited the dictator. number three, presidents. 12 presidents have met with the pope since 1919. here's our first and only so far catholic priest -- president, i should say -- john f. kennedy meeting with pope paul vi in 1963 in what would tragically be the final months of his life. president obama had his first visit with pope francis back in march 2014. it's all about the pope not all about politics. pope francis has plenty of star power, but so do some of his guests. angelina jolie at the vatican last year. he was there for a screening of her film "unbroken." this is probably my favorite. some visits aren't planned. this young man decided to sit in the audience. he took to the stage during a major celebration in 2013. living up to the people's pope man mantra, the pope didn't seem to mind at all. he's going, i like this. this is happening. i could get into this. when are you getting up because i really like that chair. it's big and i want to sit back into it. the pope is like i'm d

pope john paul ii first raised the greenhouse effect in his 1990 world day of peace message.gees in his portland pes day message and committed the vatican to going carbon-neutral including installing a massive solar panel energy system on one of the largest buildings in the vat vatican. and as the leader of more than 1 billion catholics around the world, many of whom are suffering from the worst consequences of global warming disease, displacement, poverty it is the pope's responsibility to speak out on behalf of the people he leads. and that is exactly what he will be calling all of us to do. the same people who want to deny poempope francis the right to speak out on climate change are the same people who deny the science of it. but our understanding of human influence on climate change rests on 150 years of wide-ranging scientific observations and research, and it is informed by what we see today with our own eyes measured bid our own hand hands and here is the reality: global temperatures are wombing glaciers are melting sea levels are rising, severe weather events are inc
