the pope leaves lithuania for a lot and estonia fewer catholics live there but the pope hopes his message to remember will still resonate. so far on this style pope francis has had little or nothing regarding the catholic church sex abuse scandal here in germany though the influential spiegel magazine has published an extensive report titled the house shalt not bear false witness now he details the pope's alleged gross mishandling of abuse cases and we spoke with correspondent constantine fun agates in vilnius about whether the pope's baltic trip has diverted attention from the ongoing scandal i think of for the pope it's rather like indication from this scandal it did not attract a lot of attention in the baltic states until it's ready which is a seventy five percent catholic because the catholic church is the usual recreate its yeah after the soviet union withdrew twenty five fell a bit more years ago so there is much less history of that history with the catholic church institutions here so i think that's very much for the pope this trip was really exception and it turned away from thi

let's compare pope john paul ii with francis. john paul ii grew up in poland under communism so he knew what that kind of system could do and he wrote some of the encyclicals and writings that are of greatest support thatthe church has ever given to the free-market economy , he sees it as a way that can allow this. but on the other hand, francis grew up in argentina. so i think he's very colored by the argentine society in which he grew up. i think when he hears the word capitalism, he thinks argentine capitalism which many of us would call crony capitalism. capitalism where the way to succeed is to have friends in the government so it's not the competitive kind of capitalism that most of us think of and i think that's colored his picture of society. there's a good chapter in the book by samuel greg that draws out that theme in great detail, showing exactly how francis, you just use capitalism different than the economists writing it and we are in agreement with him that crony capitalism is not a good path. it drops argentina fro

back to pope francis and the caring society. some observers have detected a deep hostility the pope itself has gone on record insane that business is a noble profession. if it is directed to those ends up serving the poor and allowing for the humor coercion. he especially wants to create jobs that's it's can allow the people in the deeper's -- deepest parts to escape that. i think avenue wants to feel about business that it can be directed to good ends. and there's plenty of times where it's not. what we need to do is set the rules of the game. is francis different than benedict. i think there is a good deal of continuity. there are some important changes. let's compare john paul ii. the greatest support the church is ever given. he sees it in a way that can allow for this consequence we talk about. francis grew up there. in argentina. i think is very colored by the argentine society. when you hear the words capitalism. he thinks argentine capitalism. which many of us would call crony capitalism. capitalism with the latest is to
