i wonder if you can compare this visit from pope francis to pope john paul ii. >> they have the same message about the poor, the marginalized, the responsibility of rich nations to their people and those who are forgotten. that's the gospel. that's the gospel of christ. both john paul ii and francis are masters of preaching this gospel and both preimminent leaders of their time in many ways because they transcend national leadership. they have the biggest following, certainly, of any particular leader in the world today. and so this is going to be really fascinating to see if this pope can keep his visit from becoming politicized. he doesn't want it politicized. there are those who wants it politicized, particularly those who oppose his message and think somehow it's, quote, too liberal or progressive. >> to that point, with these historic meetings, sitting down with the president, speaking before congress, just to name a couple, what then is the goal, do you think, for the pope in these meetings? >> the pope wants the agenda of the world to focus on what the world preaches. on catho

. >> i see francis as really the first pope of the 21st century. john paul ii got ill in the 1990s. nedict was in effect was a caretaker, unloved, uncharismatic figfigure. along comes francis. besides the genuineness people relate to and the authenticity, he's tapped into things that are contempora contemporary. number one, he's from latin america. it's worth repeating in 1970, 70% of the world's catholics were in the northern hemisphere, 30% in the southern. today it's exactly reversed. 30% in the north. 70% in the south. he flew here from the south on purpose to send that message. and also he's in effect the pope of the 99%. long before this was a conversation in the west, the first trip he took after becoming pope outside of rome was to go south to the mediterranean where there was this graveyard where refugees were coming aross from africa. he was on this story years before it became what it is now. the dominant story. so i think in his personality, he has sort of melded with what's in the time and helped the church sort of turn the page from where it was. sex abuse, scandal in t

francis." not since john paul ii has been there since pope mania, a se.e-apocaly pope francis is lashing out against the rich and powerful. he did so in the lions den, which is the united states. you can see this pope is not afraid of anything. rarely has a pope been so outspoken. talks all sorts of controversial topics. his favorite weapon is words and prayer. >> he has been using these words, hasn't he? in modern technology. he has famously embraced this. he apparently tweets quite frequently, but he has also been warning about the abuse of social media. >> the pontiff has a love-hate relationship with technology. he has called the web a gift from god, but, as you said, he warns about abuse and says that it must be used properly. 8úxú stefan: the ancient temples of angkor wat, cambodia. wake at dawn to experience the serenity of the sunrise and you'll quickly discover you're not alone. the place is crawling with bugs. but what may seem like disgusting pests to you and me are what many in this region would call lunch. with 40 tons of insects to every human on the planet, are we in the west ignoring

. >> the differences between pope john paul benedict and francis. and people never want to diss john paul but there is something about francis. and maybe part is he's argentinian and very effusive in showing emotion. so he's used to doing that. although you could argue italians are too. >> he is italian by blood. don't kid yourself. it is very hard to find someone like that who is not italian in some way. but what causes a division? and there is one. in the crucible of american catholicism. some say no the rules are all we have. stop saying the rules. don't focus on the rules. we need the rules. and others say we need to focus on the bigger idea of religion, love and mercy. the rules are there but they shouldn't be osole focus and th pope argues there is room. and you would have never heard from from pope john paul. >> some don't want to hear it. there is definitely a split. and not everybody likes it. but there is a consistency with him as a person. we'll talk to people who've known him forever. his rabbi we talk to tonight. >> so weird but i can't
