they came of age when the priesthood was very much under a cloud, and so they're well aware of all theics involved here, but when i was discerning the priesthood years ago it was held up as an ideal vocation. not for these young people. they were doing it very much under a cloud. so they understand what he's talking about. secondly, that he did it in front of the bishops i think is important. as anne was saying, that bishops, too, are very much responsible, and he'll hold them responsible. so i think it was an appropriate place for those two reasons for him to share these remarks. >> i want to play a little bit of that comment that was made here, and we'll list to be then and then i'll get your response. let's listen to what pope francis said earlier bis. >> i have in my heart these stories of suffering of those youth that were sexually abuse ed, and it continues to be on my mind, the people who had the responsibility to take care of these tender ones violated that trust and caused them great pain. god weeps. for the sexual abuse of children, these cannot be maintained in secret, and i

the biblical foundation of the priesthood is never turning down an invitation to a meal with anyone,ust a particular race of people. this is what he did as archbishop and cardinal. this is what he's doing as pope. there's nothing fancy about that. no frills for best sense. >> for him it's matthew 25, what jesus said about in the final days you'll be asked about did you reach out to the poor. >> the hungry. look at all the places he's gone around the world in these visits. there's almost some signature moments. the moment of a prison, the moment of poor people. those scenes visiting the hovls in south carolina. i was with him in brazil. it was extraordinary. he's not doing this for photo ops. he's doing this because this has been part of his dna all along. he's also doing it to offer us an example. what he's doing is saying this is how we are church and this is how we are church at our best. it wakes us all up and it's jarring. >> i'll spend a lot of time with you in the days ahead. i look forward to it, father. appreciate that. thank you very much. father thomas rosica. we'll be righ

but then there is no visible sign of the church and priesthood among the people. i think that's important. am i going to open myself up for perhaps another comment? my experience is most people are very respectful. >> are catholics coming back? or are they still leaving? >> pope francis has changed the discussion. he has changed the dialogue from the abuse scandal to something that's more to the heart of matters. that is where are we as a church, as far as living out our calling to be holy, calling of the second vatican council which we are living in the 50th anniversary now, universal call to holiness of life, are we living that out? that's what the pope is trying to say. you mentioned cafeteria catholics. i would say enough of superficial living of the faith. we've got to really live that out by convict of life in every aspect of our lives. >> bottom line, the church is not going to change. women are not going to become priests. the church will not change its position on marriage between man and woman, will not change their position on contraception. they say he

i've decided to dedicate myself to the priesthood. >> and i think it was through that experience we sees of the very tender and loving man that i think he subsequently became as a bishop and now as pope. >> with me now is father thomas rosica. >> thank you for having me. >> the importance of this pope's visit to the united states, what is it for you? the first time he came to the united states. he's 78 years old and he came through cuba first. >> let's put it this way, when any pope comes to america, it's a celebration. beginning with paul vi and john paul ii and benedict. with francis, there's a value added, if you will. there's something very special because of the degree of connection with people right from the beginning of his pontificate. you and i were together that famous night in march 2013. and there was that connection, there was a bonding with humanity. there was a simplicity of language. they call him the people's pope. every pope is a person's pope. it's a people's pope. this one is unique and special and today i have to admit, watching the scene -- i was at the airport --

organization, says pope francis has made it clear he will not consider a change to the all male priesthood, created by cannon law about 1,000 years ago. but she says her group will persevere. >> do you consider yourselves about vests. >> we do consider ours activists in this movement. to bring full access of all sacraments and bring women into the church completely in all leadership roles. upon being ordained they are automatically excommunicated. >> how about knowing you are excommunicated? >> i have never felt more loved, and more a part of the catholic church than i do right now. >> lisa bernard al jazeera, santa cruz california. >> at this hour, friends and family are holding memorial marchs in alabama for a civil rights legend. she died last week at age 104. as randall pinkston tells us her story is ties to the nation's struggle for civil rights. she was a local organizers oif first 1965 march to call for voting rights. >> i do remember from the beginning to the end. >> in an interview with al jazeera, several months before her death, she shared her memories of the day known as bloody

slightly increased by 1% a year, largely because of -- due to the hispanic population, the clergy, the priesthood has declined by a third in the last couple of generations. there simply aren't enough priests in the united states to service all the churches. as a result many churches and schools have suffered as a result because of increased teach the teachers in catholic schools. that's just a concern that he's concerned about. he talked about that in his homily, in his sermon just a few minutes ago right here at the cathedral basilica of st. peter's and paul. no doubt he will repeat that in private meetings with the bishops, also one of the events that he's presiding over right now. later in the afternoon he'll be talking about the larger issue of freedom of religious as well as immigration when he speaks to the largest crowd to date in philadelphia. that will be in independence hall and outside independence hall, which is just at the other end of the benjamin franklin parkway, the grand boulevard of philadelphia, which, of course, was the place where the u.s. declaration of independence and con
