the institution, the sackment, the covenant and what we believe about marriage and the civil law.nd finally reproductive technology and cloning, things like that. this is enough for a series of 13 shows but we are going to be quick. for example the four parts of the church. >> i would focus on the apestalic. it means that the bishops that are functioning as bishops today are connected to the appostels. there's an unbroken line that goes back to them and the reason that's important is that we believe even the scriptures and interpretation is linked. that leads us right to the next one. refers to the leadership of the church and usually that refers to the bishops led by the holy father. and teaching and often times an aauthorititive way. that's our teaching. it's part of the gift given to the church. an essential teach taking they may come out and declare. >> they've already conception was one. it would be possible to declare the sankty of life and being against that through abortion that that is evil. now the church already teaches that but it hasn't chosen to define that. >> corre

. >> yeah, the sackments in the church.s talking about marriage or it shouldn't be disciplinary or the way in which you discipline members of the flock but moments of grace which sackments are. he sees grace and mercy and extending the hand of mercy, he believes people will grow closer to god. >> one writer was saying that for him the heart of the gospel is matthew 25, jesus was saying in the final days he'll be asked not how rich you were or what you accomplish in life, you'll be asked about whether you fed the hungry, whether you visited the sick. that's the core for this pope. >> to me it was such a powerful moment in the mass today you covered live on cnn. he said repeatedly go forth, go forth, go forth. this is an idea that begins in the hebrew bible. leave what's comfortable, dgo t what is uncomfortable and seems to be his message to the church. go out to where the people are. for the catholic church, you can't sit back and wait for people to come to you. you got to go to where people are, that is the symbolism of his

>> no, i think that the sackment of reconciliation is one of the main ways of coming and encounteringcy. all of the popes have been talking about mercy. john paul ii, and now pope francis even invented a word, mersfy. let yourself be mersfied. so this goes along with god as father, which pope benedict said that mercy is the face of god. so this mercy and giving this mercy to these young women is an extraordinary example of what -- why the church exists which is to bring healing and holiness. >> and by some pope francis is really viewed as being progressive on some of the controversial issues, what are seen as controversial issues. so do you expect a change in policy on other issues? >> well, there's two things -- now i might be getting into trouble here. but one is the way that pope francis is, and the other is how the media portrays pope francis. the way that pope francis operates is to be able to go into the hearts of those who are furthest from the church or those on the margins of society, the most vulnerable he spoke about as well, and bring them closer to god's love, and i -- i

social context where the similarities between the civil institution of marriage and the christian sa christian sackment were considered. the two were entinter related a supported this is no longer the case. if i were to describe the situation today, i would use two familiar images. on the one hand, the two neighborhoods and on the other hand, our large supermarkets. there was a time when one neighborhood, one neighborhood store had everything needed for personal and family life. it's true that. there wasn't much choice but there was, there was personal bond between the shopkeeper and his customers from the neighborho neighborhood. people knew one another and they were all neighbors. they trusted one another. they built up trust and in many places these stores were known as the market. then in recent decades a different kind of store was created, the shopping centers. huge spaces with a great selection of opportunities and merchandise. the world seems to have become one of these great shopping centers or supermarkets. our culture has become more and more competitive, businesses no longer conduct busines

the women priest's movement is leading to create a more inclusive partnership, empower church, where all are welcome to receive sackments, not just those who obey the rules. but he is missing the point that women are marginalized in his own house. we where not equals, we are discriminated against in his own church. and that's the piece we need to bring home to him that he needs to make the connection. >> bridget mary this was worth excommunication for you and for us that are not in the catholic church what does it mean to be excommunicated. >> for us, because we're women priest [ technical difficulties ] >> the pope's motorcade is on the move. this is a live picture. let's bring in patrick hornbeck to talk about the significance of that church. and midday prayers what he will be doing and also meeting with bishops. >> absolutely. those two events are combined at this point. this is the mother church for the archdiocese of washington. every bishop has a cathedral. in this case, cardinal donald who is the archbishop of washington, we saw him riding with the pope just a few moments ago. this is his church, and he'll be wel

looked at the catholic church over the past 30 or 40 years versus we are all sinners he talks about that himself. he said i'm a sinner. we all need mercy and sackmentsent way to talk there are still rules. every organization needs rules. jesus gives us rules. this notion that all of us are on the way, all of us are pilgrims, all of us are struggling is much more welcoming and frankly along the lines of what jesus is talking about. one of my theology professors said jesus doesn't condemn those weak and trying but condemns people in the gospels who are strong and not bothering, basically, powerful and wealthy. he doesn't condemn people sinning and trying and that's the people that pope francis is trying to remind you're welcome in the church. >> it goes beyond just looking at it saying this is an attempt to get more people in the pews but most people would see this man and say for him it goes far beyond just that. >> a cynic would say that because that's the way cynics look at things. this is jesus' message to he was always going out to people on the margins. he wunlt out at the woman at the well and spoke to people, he was not normally supposed to ta
