>> narrator: in february last year, pope benedict stunned the world by being the first pope to resign in 600 years. >> no person has had more influence on the life of the church, how it works on the inside, than joseph ratzinger. and he gave it up. >> narrator: when the helicopter took him away, benedict was leaving behind a bitterly divided vatican. this is the inside story of the events that undermined his papacy. it's a story of corruption and cover-up. >> if i don't get a response from you, i'll go public. >> narrator: of sexual scandal and abuse. >> if you tell anybody, your parents will burn in hell. >> narrator: of secrets and hypocrisy. >> so there we were, where they had had sex all night long, and he took out all his paraphernalia and started to celebrate mass. >> narrator: and a story of leaked documents exposing a bitter internal power struggle. >> i published documents dealing with corruption, scandals, frauds, nepotism. >> narrator: now a new pope, francis, must battle the forces that overwhelmed his predecessor. >> if he wants to change the church, it's going to mean de

(timothy) pope benedict and pope francis are, by formation and temperament, very different people. h people. he's brought back, strongly, the phrase "the people of god." hasn't appeared much in the last 20 years. ♪ (mary) he has loosened the awful intellectual clump that was imposed for years under john paul and benedict. people were afraid of being silenced. and i think what francis has done is given us back the church of vatican ii, a big noisy church, where people are going to fall in and out with one another. (timothy) i think what pope francis wants to do is to have a church which is less controlling because he believes that the holy spirit must blow where it will. (narrator) pope francis has begun a process to create new, more transparent, and efficient structures in the roman curia. but he also wants to radically change the mindset in the vatican. (male translator) what he thinks and always thought is that the roman curia should be at the service of those of us in the trenches because they're in an office and you can't see reality from an office. (male reporter) the new pope'

anything better than a pope benedict baby in a fiat. >> nothing cuter than babies in costumes. some of the best costumes are on kids. so much fun yer that way. going into tomorrow morning, it is colder. 30 degrees in the morning and for halloween for trick or treaters, yes, it will be chilly. dress accordingly for that, and the big temple matchup against notre dame. that forecast in a second. we have showers in the forecast, too. then gets milder next week. you're not going to believe these temperatures. 40 in allentown, some areas in new jersey in the mid to 40s. the advertised 62 degrees for this time of year yesterday, we were seven degrees above that, today below that. as we go into the weekend, upper 50s saturday. little more mild sunday, 67 degrees. monday, mid-60s. as we go into sunday, don't forget about this. 2:00 sunday morning, set the clock back an hour. sunday evening sunset is now 4:59 in the afternoon. going to be getting darker earlier, you'll get an extra hour of sleep this weekend. rain off to the west. it will be wet halloween for part of the country off to t

. >> yeah, we did this once before for pope benedict, but this was an exceptional experience, different experience. >> so tell me what it was like to feed the pope, literally and figuratively. >> well, he was, as the last pope, very gentle, holy man, but a little more personable. we had more conversation with him. >> with francis? >> with francis. pope francis. and he had a smaller group that we served, so it was more intimate than the last time we did it, and he was just a wonderful, blessed individual that i had the honor of serving. >> so you had a german pope the first time and now an argentinean pope the second time. what kind of food did you serve? >> well, we thought since he was argentinean, he was gonna like beef, but that wasn't the case. he gained 15 pounds since being the pope, becoming the pope, so they have him on a kind of restricted diet, so we served him everything we served everyone else at the table, except we managed it a little different. light fare. but he was a delightful person. i could tell you -- you don't have enough time for me to tell you -- incredible exper

reporter: the moment marine one landed, the president was met with protesters who say he rushed to pope benedict lit size the tragedy by pushing a gun control agenda. >> the announcement about gun control and the way that coming off, the first thing he said, instead of saying i'm sorry to the families, i think it was just wrong. >> reporter: mr. obama met privately with families grieving their loved ones following the mass shooting at umpqua community college. the gunman shot ask killed nine people before turning the gun on himself. >> i have strong feelings about this because when you talk to these family, you are reminded that this could be happening to your child. >> reporter: early yesterday, two more college shootings unfolded. first at northern arizona university where police say a freshman shot four other students, killing one of them. 18-year-old steven jones is being held on $2 million bond. >> sir, you have four charges against you. you are charged with first degree scheme or device three felony and three council of aggravated assault. >> reporter: later southern texas university was p

he was appointed by pope benedict. more about this, because so many conclusions are being drawn from this. and it flew in the face of everything the pope was saying here. i mean, yes, he's talked a lot about religious liberty. the conservatives here were quite happy he visited with the little sisters of the poor. they didn't expect this meeting. but he didn't talk about same-sex marriage as such. he was fighting against culture wars. so they have a lot of explaining to do about this meeting. you know, i hope they do just make public that yes, it was the nuncio who arranged the meeting. >> e.j., i was wondering, were there 100 people in the room? were there 200 people in the room? did the pope know who everyone was? kim davis' lawyer said it was a private meeting just for kim davis. if that was the case, then the pope had to be told why he was meeting with this woman. >> right. cane the question is, as a friend of mine said today, who's been following this, the pope doesn't read the american flups, so he may have known o

he -- when pope benedict came he invited all catholic university presidents.this trip didn't involve that. those who were there were invited by a congressman to share their ticket, so i was there -- >> thank you, congressman whomever. >> yes, yes. congressman sessions, his wife is a notre dame graduate. i think i had her ticket. >> that helps. yes, yes, it does help. >> one thing i want to echo what the senator said, what struck me most was the mood in the house. it was right and left, there was a sort of just an excitement about the pope coming. and i was thinking, i was reflecting on that the past few days, why does this -- i mean, he's the office of pope, so catholics are kind of -- pay attention to him. but why do so many people, why does he touch them. i think it's because -- we were talking about this backstage. he speaks with a moral authority that we badly need today. i mean, not simply about catholic issues, but about global issues. and i think he asks us to reflect on those issues. i think he's careful to not kind of be owned by the left or the right

pope? studyingi -- i was francis of assisi for quite some time when benedict was still be pope.ng it for a song i did for my last album, and i was so taken with the life of st. francis and i thought, this would -- was truly the environmentalist saint because he called upon the people, even in the 12th century to have appreciation and respect mother nature. and i thought it would be so beautiful if there was a pope named francis who could embrace the idea of disseminating material things and -- becoming close to mother nature and understanding how important it is to respect the earth and i met the monks in assisi and they said, this will never happen. i was doing research. we will never have a pope francis because st. francis was too rebellious. we will never have a jesuit or franciscan. and i said, well, you know, let's hope. and then when benedict step down, i was watching television with my daughter and the white smoke had come up. so we were waiting to see who would be pope. and we had to wait a long time, like 45 minutes. and in those 45 minutes, i told jesse how much i want

if people understand quite how remarkable that is, because just a few years ago, before pope francis, under benedictthe holy see, which is -- you know, actually has negotiating status at the united nations as a country, would try to get references to the rights of nature and mother earth taken out of negotiating s when -- text when countries like bolivia and ecuador would put them in, because they didn't like this idea of natural rights, of nature having inherent value, because they were still subscribing, to some degree, to this idea of dominion. so there's a major shift. and look, i certainly don't agree with the vatican on everything. in fact, we could go through a very, very long list, which i won't go -- won't bore you with right now. but what i find most remarkable about this pope is he is a man in a hurry. you know, you think about this trip in the u.s. and all of the speeches he made. he's addressing congress. he's on the balcony. he's talking to the homeless. he's zipping to new york. i mean, how -- and it's dizzying, and it really -- this is what leadership looks like as if the world depen

>> no, he -- when pope benedict came he invited all catholic university presidents. this trip didn't involve that. those who were there were invited by a congressman to share their ticket. so i was there -- >> thank you, congressman whomever. >> yes, yes, yes, yes. congressman sessions' wife is a notre dame graduate. so i think i had her ticket. >> that does help. >> one thing i just want to echo what the senator said is that what struck me most was the mood in the house. it was right and left. there was a sort of just an excitement about the pope coming in. i was thinking, i was reflecting on that the past few days. why does this -- i mean, he's the office of popes of kcatholis kind of pay at things to them but why do so many people, he touch -- i think it was back -- we were talking about this backstage. he has -- he speaks with a moral authority that we badly need today. i mean, not simply about catholic issues but about global issues. i think he -- he -- to reflect on those issues, i think he's careful not to be owned by the left or the right but simply to ask us
