pope. my response to that is, what the hell does that mean? let's let pope francis be popepope, not let other people dictate how he wants to be pope. >> the papacy is an impossible job. i mean think about what we want popes to be. we want them to be media rock stars. we want them to be fortune 500 ceos. we want them to be world class intellectuals and living saints. i mean, any one of these things is hard to do over the course of a lifetime. you roll it all up together, it is a prescription for impossibility. >> and as pope francis settles in his job on the heels of benedict xvi resigning earlier this year, the first pope to do so in 600 year, pope francis must also figure out how to stem the tide of leaders leaving the church. >> if there's anything that will bring people back, it is the understanding that the church is there not to yell at people, but the church is there to be an instrument of god's love and forgiveness. and if there's anything that will characterize pope francis, it is that. >> as the first non-european latin american jesuit pope, what does the future lo

pope francis. eamon javers has more on the pope's controversial comments. eamon, i understand this was from an 84-page document from the pope. >> it's the first major written document that we've gotten from this now pope, pope francis. this document today is an expansion on what the pope has been saying so far in his major speeches, for the first time in one place and all in writing and he's krcritical of what he seess modern market capitalism. an kperp what he said today when an elderly homeless person dies from exposure but it is news when the stock loses two points. he strike led down economics. the income gap between the rich and the poor and self-serving tax evasion and the idolatry of money and the defied market and by that he's saying folks have put way too much attention on proch fits and markets and not basic humanity, guys. >> eamon in years past, we've seen popes talk about come muni nice m and capitalism but this time what is motivating pope francis and why now? >> this is a clearly a pope with a reform agenda and talks about reform of the church and he talks about a number of wider issues. he say s the pope lov

pope is speaking out against it. making big news this week. the pope made, i think, a stunning political statement, connecting it to faith. poperancis is slamming reaganomi reaganomics. in a statement, the pope criticized the idol tree of money. and warned, it would lead to a new tyranny? a new tyranny? what does that mean? does that mean if i go to the catholic church in detroit lakes, minnesota, i'm going to hear the priest talk about a new tyranny? the pope also called out trickle down economics by name, saying this. some people continue to defend trickle-down theories, which assume that economic growth encouraged by a free market will inevidently succeed in bringing about greater justice in the world. he went on tos to say, this opinion which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and eye november trust in the goodness of those yielding economic power. meanwhile, the excluded are still waiting. basically, as i interpret that, the pope is saying, trickle-down economics doesn't work. the poor in this world are still waiting. the poor in this country are still waiting. the poor in this country are under atta

pope is kind of lb -- liberal. >> the pope's agenda is the gospel. neither liberal or conservative. love, compassion, tolerance. >> yeah, yeah, that sounded very liberal. okay, love, compassion, tolerance. tolerance? come on. come on. >> i think there are a lot of conservatives that are loving, compassionate and tolerant. i don't think it is a political situation. i think it is something that people might interpret as liberal or conservative. but of it is its own category. >> is this popeervative. he is christian. i think the political labels don't work. >> you are very good at these word games. you are very good. >> listen, the popes are frequently more liberal than the most liberal democrat and more conservative than the most conservative republican. it depend on the issue. >> they're all against the death penalty for example. >> absolutely. >> yes, they're against the death penalty. they're pro-life across the board. as you, know, catholic teaching asks us to be. they are also for the poor. those categories of liberal, conservative, democrat, republican are nonsensical. so when i hear some one say he is liberal. i think they're kind of missing the message. >> what, i mean, sarah palin is not catholic. she is not educated in the catholic church. what is it you think she sees when the pope speaks that makes her react that way? >> i can't look into her soul. but i think she is probably looking at something like you, know his emphasis on the poor. the very first thing h

pope. pope francis moving in a very interesting direction for a lot of catholics. he's now talking about trickle down economics and income inequality and he had a quote where he said this. quote, just as the commandment thou shalt not kill sets a clear limit in order to safeguard the value of human life, today we shall also have to say thou shais shchlt alt not to an economy of exclougs and inequality. i'll go to you, john. how does this play in with republican catholics at all. >> it should play very consistently. it's like from leo xiii. the excesses of capitalism -- if you believe in capitalism, you have to understand that there are excesses and there has to be faith to bring it altogether. and i think it's a very important message. >> emily, are we talking about folks can't even get a day off because they're shopping? >> right. the popekilling it. he is just killing it. he is bringing new people back in. he is bringing young people back in and he is running to the left of just about everyone. i actually saw a really -- i loved this. i saw this on my facebook feed, it was a website where you identify the quote, if it was the pope or bill de blasio. >> and david, what does this mean sort of politically, because catholics are independent swing voters a lot. this is sort of the message on sundays, could have an impact in 2016. >> i think so. but this was the message of the last election too. mitt romney didn't really bridge this gap very well for republicans, i think. he was hit pretty hard on the 1%, the 47%, so i think it's something maybe the republicans need to square among their electorate. >> why we're thankful around the table. start us off. >> thankful for all the u.s. troops who aren't home with their family. i've been to afghanistan myself, seen them up close and very thankful for their service. >> i'm thankful

pope emphasize equality of souls and the fact that your success is problematic to your salvation instead of a much more narrow political-- we talk about inequality all the time. i want the pope to be the pope. >> the pope did say, i love the rich as well as i love the poor. but the responsibility we have-- i mean, the rich are getting by pretty damn well. and as we've cut taxes, the inequality has grown wider, so, you know, i think the pope deserves a listen-to. >> a listen-to. >> very controversial. >> i do. >> sreenivasan: so there was, in domestic political news, we almost started to look at campaign finance reform through the treasury. we are looking at social welfare organizations very active in the entire political process now, 501-c4s. what are the structural changes? >> it's like the david koch organizations and tea party organizations, and their giving has been ramping up-- if you took toacts giving it was in the single millions a few elections ago and now it's something like 300 million. remember the tea party thought they were being targeted and it has become fuzzy regulation. the administration position is we just want to tighten up the regulations and know make it harder for t

pope maybe, you know, pope benedict even display this publicly so often as he is? >> short answer is, no. listen, benedict is a very humble guy. he genuinely enjoys people's company. he's a great conversationalist. people always talk about his listening skills. i think it's fair to say that he didn't project this kind of love for ordinary people and particularly love for the most broken and the most vulnerable people in the way that frances does. there are a lot of different ways of describing frances. people have called him the people's popeor. all that captures something. at bottom, the best description is the pope of mercy. he believes what the world needs to hear right now is a message of compassion and a message of tolerance and special love for the most wounded people on the planet. he's not only saying that, he's doing it. you've shown the images. he has remarkable ability to project that idea of mercy. >> he is compassionate. john, we are, although he is the leader of the catholic church, we talked about one man. has the church changed his views about some of these social issues? we know about this new questionnaire that is coming out globally. but his views, has those change and has the church changed? he is showing these acts of kindness. >> well, look, there are 1.2 billion catholics in the world, 70 million in the united states. that means can you find everything under the sun and then some in the catholic church. but i do think that over time the pope has the ability to reorient the church. look at john paul i

pope pope francis. and we just learned how transformative this pope is. st time since the '60s, he's actually sending out a survey to ask catholics about everything from gay marriage to their views about contraception. what do you think about this pope? >> well he understands that the church brand is damaged, the catholic church brand is damaged. he understands that if he wants to turn that around he has to be acceptable as a messenger. so, he's trying to say to the world, look i'm not closed-minded, my papacy is not about judgment it's about engagement. so, he's smart. i mean he's a great pr guy. i don't know the pope but what he's doing is trying to open up people's minds to again listen to the message of the catholic church which they had not been doing because of the priest scandals. >> bill o'reilly thank you for being here. >> guys, thanks for having me in. >> thanks. >> you guys are perky in the morning. aren't they perky? >> we're trying to be. it's the coffee. we don't stop.

of the pope's visit to brazil, where he stopped his pope mobile and shook hands and people followed and chased him over a beach. in addition to this trip there were a lot of headlines where the pope, in a state visit rode around in a ford focus as opposed to a limousine. how was it received, particularly among young people in the catholic church. >> all you have to do is look at what happened to world youth day. there was 3 million at world youth day in brazil. an event that the church puts on for young people. i don't think you'll find a secular car drawing a crowd that large in brazil. it's good to note that that is typically the experience. pope, benedict the 16th drawing a large crowd, john paul too. there's a renewed excitement about christianity around pope francis. again, because of his focus on not just talking about the heart of christianity, but the way he lives it out in an overt way, in keeping with his name. >> chris stefanick, president of real life catholic church. thank you for being on the program. >> it's been an honour. >> in the midst of the barack obama minister efforts to pass immigration reforms supporters note 300,000 undocumented mexican immigrants are de
