and juan carlos you know south america, latin america a lot better than i do. i know there is a rivalry between argentina and so many of the other countries of south america and latin america especially when it comes to sporting events as you well know. give us a little context of how others, catholics, not in argentina but in south america, central america, are reacting. >> well, there is banter among latin americans over this designation and it is in good nature but argentinaians are famous for being, excelling at sports. and now many have said that this proves that the pope isargentin with the idea that argentinaians have a sense of being superior to others and this is a source of jokes, a source of wise cracks among argentinaians and others but it is a moment of pride for many latin americans knowing someone born in argentina is now the head of the catholic church. it never happened before. there has been no latin american pope. there have been european popes, african popes, popes from the middle east. this is the first pope from latin america. and it will

think that's an exciting development. >> it's an interesting way to look at it, that is not just south america christians makes up 74% of the population of the united states. of that, 25% are catholics. so what effect does this news today have on other christians in america? >> i'm sorry. your audio is breaking up. first of all, let me congratulate catholics around the world and especially want to give my best wishes to pope francis. this is kind of a historic day. it's a wonderful occasion. but i'm so pleased that this pope is concerned about the poor. and he has been speaking out on the poor for many years and helping the poor and being a voice for them. and i hope he will continue doing that as the pontiff. the church of jesus christ is under attack around the world. we see this especially in the muslim countries. i was recently in sudan where the churches are being bombed and christians are being murdered by the president of the north who is an indicted war criminal. and i hope that he will use this, his position to speak out for the poor and for the christians who are being murdered aroun

and now you get a pope who is from south america. when is last pope from south america?> never. >> the first pope from south america. this is the first pope named francis. these are all firsts. >> incredibly dramatic. both it be substantively and symbolically. it is worth saying that of these 1.2 billion catholics from the world today, two-thirds of them live outside the west. that will be three-quarters by midcentury. you could make an argument that the single most dramatic transition in catholicism today is the shift in the center of gravity from north to south. and to have a pope now who symbolizes that burgeoning catholic footprint outside the west, obviously there is not only going to be a party in buenos aires, but optimism across -- >> to reset for people coming from america or around the world, we have a new pope. we believe it is a cardinal from south america, the first pope, first noneuropean pope, first pope from south america to be sure, and we believe it is cardinal bergoglio. jorge mario bergoglio from buenos aires. this is portentous of change we have been

south american. what are your thoughts right now? >> well, the church in latin-americavery happy because this is the first time in history of the church that we have a pope from latin-america, jorge mario bergoglio. first impressions i receive from the people of latin-america, they are very happy to receive this news, to receive the news that we have a latin american pope for the first time in history. and you know, the majority of two thirds of catholics live in lat lin america. especially in mexico and the united states. and this will represent and important leader. when i was talking to the people, what do you expect from a pope, what do you expect from him, the majority of them, people from san antonio, texas, from los angeles, from mexico, they say, we want a spiritual leader, a pastor. they are not looking for a ceo. they were looking for a spiritual leader and pastor. i guess god listen to their pleas because pope francis is exactly the pastor that you know, the hearts of the hispanics were waiting for. >> liz, let me bring you in to react it father mesa's words.

institution in south america we know very little. erupted in the u.s., can a canada, australia, but africa and south america are the two continents where we know there's tremendous problem but it's been suppressed. this cardinal so far has not spoken out with notable courage on the issue. he did express sorrow for the victims of that particular priest. right now though he does not seem to be someone who will be a reformer on the issue. we need someone who will require reporting of all allegations to police. we need someone who is gutsy and outspoken. let's hope this particular cardinal now pope francis has a change and becomes the leader that we desperately need to resolve this issue. >> i think there are a lot of people within the roman catholic church and outside that would absolutely agree with those statements you just made and hope that will happen. anne barrett doyle, co-director bishopaccountability.org. appreciate it. >>> this just in to cnn. four people now under arrest in the latest investigation into britain's phone hackin

i'm looking at numbers coming out of south america. it's incredible. ot the doral country club and it's doing well because the south americans are coming. it's amazing what's going on in miami because of what's happening in south america. you look at china. i mean, that's the number one culprit. you look at india. you look at what's going on in other parts of the world. it's absolutely amazing, and we are just moribund. we're not moving and probably not going to move to a 4 for long time. we don't have leadership. >> say what you will. the leadership would counter that argument, donald, and say trump should look at what's going on in the market. it's getting close to an all time high. maybe he should see the dow doubling over the period of when he came into office that we are the business guys. donald just doesn't get it, what do you say? >> if you look. any of the companies that are doing well, it's because they're doing well in other countries outside of the united states. a lot of folks on your show are saying their strength is what they're doing out

selection of the next pope because right now, do you think the church's future lies in africa or in south america? and if that's the case, can they ignore the dissatisfaction in europe and america with the church? >> well, i don't think it lies in latin america or in africa. i think those are important parts of the world. but the money that supports that institution is not in asia or latin america or africa. it is in western europe and in the united states. that's the group that's been most deeply alienated. the roman church is almost dead on the continent. in this country, this is a more religious country than europe is. but we're maybe 50 years ahead of europe and another 50 years we'll probably be in the same place. see, i don't think you can deal with the church's life if you don't engage the thought forms of the world. and you know, we still tell the christian story in terms of -- there was a perfect creation from which we fell into sin and jesus had to come and rescue us. that doesn't make a lot of sense after charles darwin. it was never a perfect creation. it is an unfolding evolution pro

economy if you look around the world, europe seems to have stabilized, south america is doing well, asia is actually improving and when we talk about a major index like the dow, a bunch of multinationals or the s&p 500, the biggest market cap stocks, they derive more than half their profits from overseas activities. so even if the u.s. economy is a little soft and, let's be blunt, this has been a mediocre recovery, this is not by any stretch of the imagination a robust economic recovery, but corporations are very lean and getting profits and revenues from around the world so there is a little bit of a disconnect because the global nature of business today. >> ifill: domestically, is keeping unemployment rates relatively high, or at least not low, is that helping the corporate bottom line? >> there's certainly been lots and lots of layoffs in the middle of the crisis. they cut with an ax not a scalpel, but the flip side of that is that the productivity gains and the deployment of technology has allowed companies to do more with less of a head count so that efficiency factor is definitely
