yeah and also christianity i think we were talking before about pope francis before we came in here we were talking about pope francis what he was trying to do literally is to say look this is really what religion is all about and so you want to concentrate on that now if you concentrate on that then basically you're saying that a human being isn't just flesh and bones there's a spiritual quality as steve said there's a connection to something that transcends us and to the extent that we can do that we are religious the problem is that very often we do that to something that is an idol. in other words something that doesn't bear the burden of that trust hmm what is an idol? an idol is something that is created rather than the creator it's something that cannot bear the trust that you give to that particular thing now i think in that sense to speak about organized and non organized religion you know if it wasn't for organized religion you wouldn't have the heritage the tradition you wouldn't have a bible you wouldn't have the great resources that a religious tradition presents us and th

past year, six sex abuse victims have been moved by the humble and compassionate personality of pope francisthink though that what catholics need is for the pope to mix those characteristics with a tough stance on punishing and removing the bishops and church officials who are complicit in enabling and covering up for the sexual perpetrators. >> what about timing here? do you think he waited too long? >> i mean, let's not mistake this meeting today for real action. the meeting today will not make children safer. i think that pope francis has yet to take strong action that will protect children. and he could do that by firing the bishops who have been complicit and who are transferring predators. he could do that by acknowledging that this crisis is ongoing. it is not over. and to be honest with you, reparations should come when it is over, not when we're in the middle of it. >> father back to that end let's talk about the practicealiality the how the church heals and how they move forward and how to make sure children is protected going forward. >> i certainly agree with barbara's perspectiv

pope francis went further than pope benedict bringing six of the victims to the vatican.y arrived yesterday, just to let you know how significant this was. this wasn't just a visit or photo op. they had dinner last night. celebrated mass this morning and met 3 1/2 hours with each person individually, half hour each. then spoke at the homily making it very clear this is not only affecting the victims and perpetrator, but to the leaders of the church who did not do enough to expose this issue. >> what does accountability mean? >> accountability. the protocols now put in place, especially formulated by this new commission which cardinal o'malley is a member, means all bishop conferences, religious superiors are obligated, are required to deal with the situation, to address it, to deal with perpetrators, to care especially for victims. when they don't do that, certain disciplinary actions will be taken. we've seen already last week that the first time a bishop, an archbishop was stripped of his clerical state was reduced to the lay status, they say, and now criminal investiga

but pope francis is taking steps that no pope so far has taken and i think will continue to see more.ah, just this last spring instituting his zero tolerance policy which obviously is something that a lot of folks looked at and said that's a very good idea to move forward with that. delia, one of the other things that has been discussed here, the pope vowing to make reparations. do we know anything about what that would look like? >> well, there are a number of ways to make reparations. obviously one of them is financial. that's been going on for at least the last ten years in the catholic church around the world. another is what we have seen this morning, a kind of person psychological reconciliation. and in fact, the vatican spokesman said that the pope's expectation from this morning's meeting is that those victims with whom he met would feel listened to and welcome. so just a kind of very particular focus on those victims this morning. but in terms of the larger sense of reparations, i think father beck is exactly right. the larger question right now is accountability for bishops,
