and the pew hispanic center is actually part of a broader rger center called the pew research center. we do public opinion surveys, but we also do a lot of look at the demographics of the hispanic community. and one of our signature products actually is, how many unauthorized immigrants are there in the country. but our point is to provide facts. what do we know about the latino population in the us and how are they changing the us and how is the us changing them? >> hinojosa: so, results of the 2010 census. we're now talking about latinos being more than 50 million? >> that's correct, 50.5 million were counted in the 50 states plus the district of columbia. and when you include the island of puerto rico, you get about another 3.8 million latinos. so the hispanic population of the u.s. has grown tremendously, by about 43% over the last decade. and that growth alone actually has accounted for more than half of the nation's population growth, so when we talk about us population growth, most of it was because of hispanic population growth. >> hinojosa: i did this test actually with some

the people's pastor, being a universal pastor, someone that can really even bring people back to the pews is something that if you speak to a lot of the leaders of the hispanic church, say they are just delighted and elated by what that can do to bringing more hispanics back to church. you know, 10% of the catholic leadership back in the united states is hispanic. i mean, that's a very small number of leadership. there is yet -- there's still no hispanic cardinal out of the united states. so to have the pope be an hispanic from argentina someone who is about social justice someone who is about the poor, it has brought everyone together regardless of country. i was in the square when the white smoke came out. and not only did you see argentinean flags you saw brazilian flags and cuban flags and chilean flags. and it wasn't about what country or another. it was an understanding that the church had finally said that we are there. so it's an incredible incredible experience for them. yeah, it's really words can't really describe it for the hispanic community. >> father tom brosnan, describe w

. >> 10 years ago, the pew research center discovered that 58% of americans were opposed to gay marriage. just one third were in favor of it. today, 49% suprt g marrie. 44% do not. pugh says this is the largest public opinion shift on any issue in the last 10 years. president obama is a recent convert. >> obviously public opinion has shifted dramatically just over the last several years. my hope is we will come to a place where everybody is treated fairly. >> this week, on the same day the supreme court heard oral arguments t federal defense of marriage act, north carolina senator kay hagan became the 49th senator to come out in support of gay marriage despite the fact that voters in her district came out against it. first, mark, i would like to why why you would think -- you think public opinion on this issue has shifted so dramatically. >> i thi theey question i do y know, work with or have a relative who is gay? that number is a direct link to how people feel about same-sex marriage. the more likely they are to know, have a relative, have a good friend, work with somebody who is gay o

when he was cardinal here, pope francis often sat in the back pews, accessible to anyone seeking his help. his sister said today he never wanted the papacy. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> reporter: when i met john paul ii, i looked up and saw his gaze of infinite loneliness. my brother's gaze reflects love, but i didn't want it to reflect loneliness. in the slums of buenos aires, the celebration continues. here the man who became pope ate with and cooked for the poor. he was their advocate, holding mass in their neighborhood church. in the streets they honored the man who was a daily fixture among them. he always wanted to be together with the people of the streets, says this man. the pope hasn't escaped controversy. critics say three decades ago as a church leader he did little to protest argentina's church supporter dictatorship under which some 30,000 people disappeared. it is still remembered here as the dirty war. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> reporter: the pope could have done more during the war. the church could have done more, too. but most welcome the first l

our survey of thnones was ne in coopetion with the pew forum on religion and public life. here is kim's story, as it ran just before the november election. >> in the battleground state of ohio, volunteer monette richards is making calls for state and local democratic candidates. she wants to encourage liberal voters, and especially those who support abortion rights, to get out to the polls next month. >> we get the government that we deserve because we get the government that we vote for. and right now it's not good enough for me. >> richards is part of a growing force on the political scene -- the 46 million americans who say they are not affiliated with a religion. their numbers have been rising rapidly, and they are heavily democratic. >> something like a quarter of people who identify with the democrats or lean towards the democratic party are in this unaffiliated category. that's a lot of votes. that's a major group. >> professor john green directs the bliss institute at the university of akron and has long studied the relationship between religion and politics. >> re

this is george washington's pew in christ church. he purchased pew number 5 for 36 pounds, 10 shillings. he'd be sitting here with his family, martha and depending on what time of his life it is would be her children or her grandchildren. so probably would have been a pretty full pew if he had the whole family here. george washington was baptized in the anglican church at the age of two months. he was married in the anglican church, and he was bury inside the episcopal church. his religious life was what you'd expect of a man of his means. he supported the church financially and also helped out poor people, and he supported -- as president, he supported religious freedom. we've only looked at a small number of the sites discussed in my book, "walking with washington," but i sort of want people to realize george washington was all over alexandria. he's really an important part of alexandria, and alexandria was important to george washington as well. >> this weekend booktv is in alexandria, virginia, with the help of our local cable pa

what pew considers reporting and what pew considers. think msnbc has taken this sort of preaching to the choir news and made and formed a whole business model around it. and that is partly in their effort to be sort of the counterpoint to fox news. and, you know, the fox news opinions are so loud in primetime that i think they do overshadow a lot of what goes on on the network during the afternoon. i mean, chris wallace, still, i think, really one of the, you know, very independent voice -- >> hey, howie, one point -- >> as opposed to chris matthews, who is very quiet. his opinions are very quiet. >> soft-spoken fellow. >> good for business, howie. let me compare two things here real quick. in 2007, msnb had two liberal hosts and two conservative hosts in primetime and straight news throughout the day. in 2013 all liberal and opinion on the day side. they doubled their ratings in the key demo you mentioned before. so, to do opinion, it is cheaper, as we pointed out before, it gives you better ratings. >> the morning show anchored by joe

in the latest pew poll, 49% nationally support it, only 27% of republicans support it. doyle: i was talking to barney frank, the former democratic congressman from massachusetts, about in the other day and he said, you know what's astonished me is the pace of this thing. he said when i was a young man, i realized that i was attracted to men personally and attracted to government professionally and i assumed that the former would interfere with the latter. now i think my attraction to men is more politically acceptable than my attraction to government. [laughter] what is the source of that rapid change? is it about simply a generational difference? is it more and more people knowing someone who is gay? >> i think it's both. there's no question that this is being led in terms of public opinion by younger voters. 18 to 29-year-old americans in our latest poll, 81% said they think this should be legal. it just steps down with every other age group. every age group, as i said, is moving up in terms of its support. but as the silent generation passes away, they are still the

that was the conclusion reached by the pew researchers. when you look at for example the president's second inaugural address, did people think it wasn't liberal enough or is it because people like to. >> mark: on twitter? i think half the people on twitter are under 30. and so maybe they're just more negative toward everyone. that's an experience anyone on twitter has personally experienced. >> i don't think that's true. i don't think it's just young people who are negative. i think twitter is a big megaphone. if you have an opinion and you want your opinion to be heard, it has to be more negative in tone than positive in order for people to listen to it. >> or at least sharper and louder to breakthrough the static. people might go on twitter to read what others are writing but they wouldn't broadcast unless they felt they had something to say. >> brown: this of course goes to something we have talked about in the past which is in in the world does twitter tell us? what is it useful for when you see this kind of differences between it and

although the pew study told us how many americans no longer trust their government it didn't really give us many clues as to why do you trust your government or not. i would say yes i trust my government most of the time not really at all but most of the time yes definitely i trust my government class why should my ok why do you think the rates would be that low what do you think happened recently people are under educated. you know most likely you know a bunch of rednecks in this country. you know in a bad way but there's a lot of an educated people this country i think government people don't care about american anymore i think they're more interested in the next election and less interested in what's right for the country certain politicians have lobbyists or special interests and keeping their own job security becomes a priority a house the senate the president's office i think we're all struggling with the inability to make progress on these issues particularly around budget i don't understand how our government can run a country this size and not have a budget for. sick going on fi

there is a particular group in the pew poll who won't say they're atheists, they say, "i'm spiritual, but not religious." i don't respect people like that very much. because i think that they've bought into the idea that to be a humanist, to be concerned about your fellow human beings, to show that concern, that you can't say you're an atheist because that's what so many people think. it's important to show that atheists who move about in the world, who get married, who love their children, who buy clothes and like makeup, we're just, we're like everybody else who's a humanist in many of our values. we are not -- >> you're just not going to heaven. >> we're just not going to heaven. we're not somebody -- no, but once you can't demonize people, once you know that this person down the block you like is an atheist, you can't think about atheists in the same way. when you began to know that they were people you knew. >> what's hard about being an atheist in an obviously pluralistic society soaked in religiosity? >> there's nothing hard about it in new york city, obviously. what is hard ab

the pope then approached the nine pews of aids patients. and certainly the most moving moment came when 4-year-old brendan ororke reached out to hug the holy father. little brendan contracted aids from a blood transfusion at birth. the pope then moved to other aids sufferers, most of them gay. it was the first time the leader of a catholic church has met directly with aids sufferers. from there the pope went alone to pray in the old mission. the oldest building in san francisco. in prepared remarks the pope proclaimed the unconditional and ever lasting love of god for all people dwelling at lenghts on sin and forgiveness. he did not mention homosexuality and referred only once to aids. >> too those who -- to those who are sick, to those who are suffering from aids and aids related complex. >> reporter: it's the way the holy father personally moved each one of them what will be remembered. >> now it wasn't as excited when i got married and it was a wonderful day. this was the greatest day in my life, and for brendan. >> this is going to help

the days when you would go to an pew andtion and sit in a fe someone would tell you how to live, that is inconsistent with the way people live their lives. what is the dominant way people live their lives. it is about searching. people still search. they have these questions. somebody is going to tell you the answer from a book and has not been touched for thousands of years? that is not consistent with people trying to find the answers. there is this feeling most of it is in individual lives. they can watch their own tv shows, form their own groups and discuss it, but that is where the action is. tavis: using people are looking for affirmation about what it -- do you think people are looking for affirmation about what they think? are do think people understanding the old rules do not apply but new rules have not been written. changing,ife has been but there is something else going on. we are dictated by numbers. how many facebook friends? numbers have taken over, but there are so many questions that have not been answered. that is why religion is not going to go away. tavis: tell me

the pew research, now i've been claiming over and over again that nbc news and their cable operationnsion of the obama press office. and all right, so let's take a look at what we've got here. the pew research center for excellence in journalism calculated that 85% of nbc's commentary opinion versus 15% actual reporting and the commentary comes straight from the white house. let's take a look at a few of the highlights here. >> the republicans lie. they want to see you dead. they'd rather make money off your dead corpse. they kind of like it when that woman has cancer and they don't have anything for her. they need to move on to a debate about the main issue, which is obamacare. and they can bring depth into the conversation and say we're not calling mitt romney a murderer. what we're saying is that if he's elected president, a lot of people will die. >> i want to see hard core republican conservativism put up there on a debate stage with president obama's practical approach to governing and i want to see hard core republican conservativism crushed. >> i look at obama as a perfect am

and religious elements saying, okay, these are individuals who help our community, who are in our pewswe need to bring them in. so for me, what i'm seeing is obstacles, not just between republicans and democrats, but really within the republican party, itself, and struggling to find a common ground of how to view immigrants. and what's so frustrating here is that the data shows that if they were actually able to embrace a more comprehensive plan, latinos would be open to voting for republicans. latino decisions poll a couple weeks ago showed if republicans took the lead on immigration reform, they'd be 44% more likely to vote for a republican. >> well, you know, the struggle continues. there's also a poll that shows 56% of hispanics actually approve of congress. but we don't have time to go into that. but it's an incredible number. maria teresa kumar, victoria defran cesco. thanks so much. >>> next, when it comes to gay marriage, one doctor is definitely out. stay with us. >> every lifestyle is now supposed to be equivalent. we're doing basically the same things the romans did before t
