you know, my position, if you will, on the pontifical council for the laity pays special attention toen in the church and world and i couldn't find anything other than he had good relations with the institutions in his diocese run by women as those run by men. i couldn't find many more details about that. i'm also expecting that he's going to have a great deal to offer the church in terms of bringing together sort of some of the major messages that you've seen the church put out in the modern world today, number one, our message for the poor and for the vulnerable, number two, our message on respect for life, for the family, for children and i think he's going to be able to help people understand how these belong together in the eyes of the church whereas here in sort of late 20th century and early 21st century america, sometimes we split those issues into different political camps.

in fact, in the 19th century in england, john henry newman wrote the laity is sometimes more true to the gospel than the hierarchy, and he was denounced in rome and he had to fold the journal in which he wrote that and pius ix issued a syllabus of errors saying not just the laity shouldn't have a say in things, but ordinary people shouldn't have a say in things. democracy is an invalid form of government. the friend and fellow catholic of newman said to gladstone, the prime minister, who said, the pope is just a tact. every form of government, and he said don't worry, catholics don't pay attention to the pope when he talks politics. well, more and more, we're not paying attention, not only on contraceptives which is abandoned by catholics for decades now, but even on things like literal body railism about the body and -- literalism about the body and blood of jesus. the most hold under cattics under 30 done in the 1990s showed that 40% of them already didn't believe that it was the literal body and blood of jesus, catholics under 30, and we don't act that way anymore. there's an old

most important way the church can rectify problems with its abuse is to listen more to the role of laity. those of us in the pews, who love the church, desperately want better leadership. >> for adrian ramirez, the wounds have never healed. he struggled to write an alcohol addiction and attempted suicide as a teenager -- with drug and alcohol addiction and attempt suicide as a teenager. now married with children of his own, he renounced all religion. he received a financial settlement from the diocese, but he says money does little to ease the pain he feels each and every day of his life. >> it is constant. like a videotape. i guess you could say i am not at peace. >> a tormented man and a church forever stained by unspeakable crimes. al jazeera, los angeles. >> police have her -- rescue six children being forced to work in a brick factory. the children were trafficked from northern india and worked up to 18 hours a day under the threat of being beaten and forced to eat uncooked food. all six children have been returned to their homes. one of hugo chavez's best friends, at least on the i

we are talking about the college of cardinals, laity, there is a disconnect. >> absolutely. if you hold a plebiscite you might get a different result than this election. in this case 115 cardinals under 80 who determine the outcome of who becomes next pope. >> miguel marquez is outside in saint peters square on the verge of the vatican. you've been out there, the mood as they watch the big screens, conclave has begun. what did you see and hear? >> reporter: well, it's mushy out here but certainly the crowds are starting to gather. people are starting to move away now from the square now that they have finished the huge screens out in the basilica and plaza, have gone to pictures of the basilica itself and the crowds are starting to leave. no one seemingly expecting black smoke or white smoke anytime soon. there are a lot of people coming down here just out of curiosity to see smoke just period. we expect that might happen in the next two hours, perhaps three hours or so, to see that chimney just over there on the sistine chapel. and the smoke pour out of there. we expect bla

so i think there is always a need for the church to be attentive to what are the views of the laity, and i think scott is right that this follows some trends we've seen, really, for decades on the fact that some of the church's teachings are unpopular. >> suarez: you're right when you say the answers might be different among maz-attendingicals. they are very different, not as sciewd in many of the examples that i gave. >> i think for some individuals, the experience of the catholic faith-- maybe they were cradle catholics and left the church or recently left the church-- and their experience would be different to those who find the cablg faith integral to their daily lives. you see in the election where president obama won the catholic vote but among those attending masso sunday he lost it to sunday. even in the church, and 99 at niewgzs like notre dame and array vamea university we am have different takesop displawr you keep a close watch on trends upon in american religion. is there something distinctive in the catholic recollection in this regard, a split between what's taught and

they were joined by some 6500 normal people who they call the laity in the catholic church. they waited in long lines to get in this morning, because of what a big moment it is. and the message of inspiration about what a pope is supposed to be. about the sacrifice and the love for people that they're offering the next pope will have. this is an interesting moment for us all to observe because the conclave is one of the best-known secret proceedings. it dates back to the 1200s. changed a little bit over time. but it is still a process where we really don't know what's going on. it makes it so hard to cover as reporters, because the only men who can tell you what's happening ain't talking. under threat of excommunication they take a vow of secrecy. so it is a very big deal. that said a vatican insider told me not too long ago that this time it's different. first, pope benedict xvi resigned. first time that's been done in like 600 years. so that set the stage for this conclave. but it's also different for a very meaningful set of ideas. they are calling this a potential waters
