francis. how did you find this order is your vocation and how long have you been in it i hate to say this but i have been in it for 51 year >>es i was very a al in nebraska and our sisters, the un there and had been since the late 18 hundreds. 18 hundreds. i was attracted to their life and knew that i was called to and so i entered the community the year after i graduated from high school. >> it was your vision that you would live in a community of sisters or you would carry out a certain work as your vocation? what did you see is your vocation and what did you learn? >> what i saw then is a little different than what i see now. when i stop and was a group of educated women who were educating the young people in my town, in my area. and also the hospital. they were powerful women. they were like i said well educated and they had traveled. there was something about them in the way that they cared for us and i knew i wanted to join them. >> when you did what was your training? what became your e

this is designated by pope francis. with me is father mark doherty, priest for arch diocese of san francisco. you beautifully talked about what this year of mercy means for our universal church, the church around the world. let's turn our attention to our arch diocese which covers marin, san mateo and san ancisco. a lot nonprofit organizations across the bay area, they're already living out works of mercy and have been doing so for many years. this year in particular they're really doing more as well as making intentional effort to really engage more people in the works of mercy and invite people to not only experience mercy but to share and extend that mercy to others. my own parish in san francisco just had a beautiful concert for syrian refugees a couple weeks ago that was fantastic. i know a lot of the local nonprofits were getting together, joining forces to help the homeless with the el nino. getting them socks, shoes, blankets, tarps. so much wonderful work is going on. i would love to talk about some of the acti

francis perkins. she spent 12 years in labor. [ laughter ] that's the first time i ever remember hearing francis perkins' name spoken aloud. i laughed by the rest of you, but it also kind of irritated. and after that, i kept her name in my mind and i kept listening for her. i spent 20 years at "the washington post" and over the years i realized how often i heard her name. often like a distant whisper. when we talked about social security, francis perkins, when we talked about age discrimination, francis perkins, when we talked about the fair labor standards act and making revisions to it, we talked about francis perkins. when we talked about the labor movement, we were talking about francis perkins. this was all her handiwork. quite an extraordinary record of achievement. i spent 20 years at "the washington post." i went all over the country for "the washington post." it was a wonderful life education going to visit places and learn new things. and as i traveled around the country writing business sto

and that is how francis met francis jefferson, mark twain, and other writers of that period. that's how she got involved in that whole mill year and became supportive of the copyright. and you should tell your viewers that the problem with the copyright is the opposite of the tariff issue. the issue with the topping right is that american writers were not able to get royalties if their works were sold abroad. and the effort was to get these international protection for american authors that they were able to get royalties when their books were sold internationally. >> so we are talking about those major political issues of the day, outside of the kind of things that francis directly was involved in, like tariffs, it's a huge debate over the gold standard versus replacing it with something that is with a standard that is based upon silver. or legislation regarding the native american land and a simulation. any kind of legislation that is dealing with the massive immigration into america, and how america's able to transform. she is really not involved in any of that to any exte

what is pope francis like? i spent a lot of time | francis like? i spent a lot of time with political— francis like? i spent a lot of time with political and _ francis like? i spent a lot of time with political and religious - francis like? i spent a lot of time | with political and religious leaders and i would say of everybody i have met, he exudes a calm that is quite extraordinary. i think he has our deep self—confidence and kind of humility that allows him... really he is calm and it affects everyone around him, genuinely extraordinary. to myanmar now, where an increasingly brutal crackdown by police and the military has not stopped protests against the military coup. today, security forces have continued firing tear gas on protesters gathered in yangon. the un's special envoy on myanmar has told the security council that there is "urgency for collective action". this is a scene that has become all too familiar in cities right across myanmar, from the northern mountain region to the major cities of yangon and naypyidaw in the south. young

not unlike pope francis himself. you think about the secular appeal that france has had in america it's along similar lines i think it is organic. it is not written by their pr people. it is a lived reality and has not been manufactured it is been powerful far beyond the boundaries of the catholic church. >> sure. there's also a very wise decision made that in an election we cannot afford to show contempt for catholic voters, for religious voters. this was important. this is something that mixed well with what the candidates could give. again it's not something that happened magically. it spoke to significant slices of the american people it's interesting because it's contained in had been a learning process, learning from the mistakes of four years before, of the choices of john kerry. of the understanding there were no longer in the 1970s with or 60s which many catholic should know something about honestly. so that we are no longer in the 60s or 70s. there has been a careful reading of this country, of this moment.

francis perkins work. how many of you know a 12-year-old who is quit going to school so that she can work full-time in a factory? francis perkins work. her ban on child labor, enacted in the fair labor standards act made it possible to keep kids in school longer instead of in mills and factories. let me start by telling you a little bit, it's awfully noisy here, but let me start by telling you a little bit. i want to read a little bit of the prologue from my book so that you know a little bit more about the breath that frances perkins accomplishments. on a chilly february night in 1933, and middle aged woman waited expectantly to meet with her employer at his reticence at a 50/50 street new york city. she clutched a scrap of paper with hastily written notes. finally our shirt into his study, the woman brushed aside her nervousness and spoke confidently. they ventured casually for a while, as was their style. then she turned serious. her dark, luminous eyes holding his gaze. he wanted her to take an assignm

pope francis i of this is personal. pope francis has become... i don't want to exaggerate, he has become someone who has provided great solace for my family when my son died, he has... he is, in my view,... there has always been this debate in the catholic church, going back to pope john xxm, catholic church, going back to pope john xxiii, talk about how we reach out and embrace people with differences, if you notice what the pope said when it was asked, when he first got elected, he was chatting with the press and they said, what is your position on homosexuality? he said, who are mightyjudge? this is a man of great empathy, who understands the part of his christianity and that is to reach out and to forgive —— who am i to judge? ijust find my relationship with him one that i personally take great solace in the. he is a really, truly genuine, decent man. i will end by saying that there are an awful lot of people, many of you, not putting you in this position, i apologise, but many of you even in the press who went out of your way to express

pope francis published a wonderful book about the mercy of god, mercy is pope francis' calling card, his merciful, not damning. but even last week, or ten days ago, the vatican issued a rejection of gay marriage, saying that god does not bless sin. god does not bless these relationships. that's the old damning, dooming god, from whom pope francis had declared independence in the beginning of this papacy when he said about gay people, who am i to judge? it's a long way from who am i to judge to, what we got last week, about god doesn't bless sin. so clericalism is this entire structure of power. antisex, antiwoman, antilay people, and it's intention is to protect the power of the hire aki. it's a violation of human rights, it's a violation of justice, but more to the point for us catholics it's a violation of the gospel. it betrays everything that jesus christ stood for. clericalism is the problem, mike. i'm not telling you system but catholic church has yet to deal with it. >> can you stay on celibacy. think a lot of people outside the catholic church and many people within the catho

francis is very controversial. ed, as you're looking at this move right now, what pope francis is doing one is it unexpectedly considering he does come for the jazz, so it will of the charge. but to is it what is going to be the long term effect besides just what we're dealing with today, what are you, what are you seeing? what are you concerned about about the future of the charged with this order? well listen for most of the viewers of this program, their memory will include john paul, the 2nd for decades as a controversial figure. by the way, just not in the church. in the same way. he was controversial because he took on communism and took on poverty and all kinds of things. and then cardinal rab singer became the pope, was a short period of time. the problem was pope francis, in my estimation, is he continually causes scandal. that's a term in the church. it means confusion amongst the faithful. what he did in this case, by the way, shouldn't last just no small p politics. who we empowered to have more say on

this is al jazeera and these are the headlines spoke francis's in northern iraq for the 3rd day of his historic visit he set to speak shortly in the tired old car a car show a major center for christians in iraq but francis has used his trip to appeal for tolerance and unity among religious groups. police are using tear gas seem to trying to spare a sense you can protest this in myanmar it turns out in their thousands despite the escalating crackdown follows a night of raids for security forces stormed houses and rounded people up including politicians and journalists tony chang has more from bangkok in neighboring thailand. clearly they have a target list of people there are many people who know that they're on those target list of gone into hiding but the other role that these night raids seeks to achieve this is just intimidate people when they're in their homes under curfew in residential areas and they know that there are gangs of security forces as roaming the neighborhoods faria with weapons and seizing anyone that gets in their path. well those are the headlines keep it here on

francis is holding a groundbreaking meeting with the leading cleric in shia islam francis is in the city of najaf to hold talks with the grand ayatollah ali sistani the meeting will be a major step in deepening times to shia on friday pope francis met with christians in baghdad iraq's christian community has been growing smaller every year it's now estimated just half a 1000000 iraqi christians remain in the country. the pilgrim of peace as pope francis calls himself is aware of the risks he's taking amid an ongoing pandemic and regional conflict we assume this is an emblematic trip and it is my duty to a martyred land here with. this one. but he's not traveling alone he's protected by one of the largest security deployments in recent iraqi history $10000.00 personnel by some estimates including special forces 24 hour drone surveillance and undercover intelligence officers it's the 1st visit by a pope to iraq coming just days after a rocket attack that seemed to put the trip in doubt his 1st remarks in baghdad acknowledge the difficult days most iraqis have had to endure without a milita

we know one thing that built a basis of the personal relationship he has with francis is that francis consoled he and his family following the death of beau biden. tell us how deep the relationship is. >> the two men sort of understand each other. you have the 78-year-old president, the 84-year-old pope, and elected in similar ways on a mandate of healing, i'd say. biden comes into the office 500,000 american lives lost to covid. pope francis elected in 2013 under a mandate it clean up the church after financial scandals and abuse. they share that understanding and it is a personal connection. they're heads of state. this was very personal as we see in the images today. >> they made a joke about their ages there, imagining themselves much younger than they are. and, ambassador, we know from the white house readout of this, we expected this to some degree that pope francis would want to talk about climate change. this is an issue extremely close to the hearts of pope francis. he's described often how one of his deepest concerns about the planet today is that people have indifference re

pope francis has just this moment landed in iraq at the start of his storied 4 day tour the 1st ever papal visit to the country seeing live pictures from back down at airport right now the 84 year old head of the catholic church arrived in the capital back of amid hats and fears over security and a nationwide coronavirus curfew cancer terrible trolls have been beefed up after a spate of recent rocket and sewer ties bomb attacks. or francis will meet with political and religious leaders and visit the former islamic state stronghold mosul it's the pope's 1st trip outside italy since november 29th. and for more on this i'm not joined by our religious affairs analyst martin got martin and why is the pope visiting the country now. well i think that you know most of the attention in terms of geopolitics pass being focused on essentially the coverage crisis and to a lesser degree i mean the transition in the u.s. probably conflict with china and india but in that space the situation of christians in the middle east which is quite dire really has has actually sort of disappeared so i think t

grand ayatollah ali al—sistani face—to—face with pope francis. at 90 and 84, it's taken long lives and generations to get here. the two religious leaders spoke of friendship to overcome oppression, rare unity after iraq's sectarian conflict. that theme of dialogue then spread further to the remains of ur, biblical birthplace of abraham. and in the shadow of its ancient citadel, pope francis met followers of other faiths. gestures of respect to those often sidelined, and victims of iraq's wars now brought together in a plea for peace. translation: hostility, - extremism and violence are not born of a religious heart. they are betrayals of religion. we believers cannot be silent when terrorism abuses religion. from these windswept plains, the pope is using the symbolism of the ancient prophet, evoking the figure of abraham, revered by christians, muslims and jews, to try to spur reconciliation between religions today. and then it was on to mass, pope francis hoping to persuade a dwindling christian community to remain. iraq's patchwork of people ca

pope francis also plans to visit. mosul a recaptured stronghold of the islamic state and the pontiff is set to meet with iraq's top shia muslim cleric grand ayatollah ali al sistani who has never met with the pope it's a big moment for christians and muslims alike. for more on this i'm joined by d.w. religious affairs correspondent martin jacques martin the pope is now meeting we understand with grand ayatollah. sistani in a nutshell why is this meeting so important. i think generally speaking this has been the policy or the policy position of this vatican which restricts trends and strengthening relations across really just religious boundaries and it has made you know it has made islam one of its name one of its main targets in the sense i mean they are very interested in fostering part of their relations with the world they have done sort of a thorough going where we would. would sunni's and now there is an opportunity for this pope to meet actually one of the main few years of the show were. so. here is that you k

francis and grover were so sad that they were defeated after the first election so she told the white house staff who she dearly loved, she said we will be back in four years to take care of the china they were back in four years. so the romance they had prior to them getting married in the white house, a love story that will endure and she was married in the white house, in a beautiful gown, is headed by george cleveland, is the grandson of grover. this is printed and also marion cleveland, they found that actual dress that actually exist, the wedding dress that actually exists in white house collection and the first lady's collection. that is a powerful display of how wonderful and elegant she was and i think the people will certainly learn from history from that predict. >> there was an age difference between the two and how's the family take that in pretty. >> i think that was a love story that was killed by francis' father and he was a dear friend of grover and i think upon his death, i think it grover felt the need to make sure that francis was taken care of for the rest of her

this pope, pope francis, has spent a large partj pope francis, has spent a large part of his pontificate see engaging in dialogue with people east and west, he has been very concerned about interreligious dialogue, he has been aware that relations between catholics and muslims took a dip during the previous pontificate see i pope benedict xvi, so he has been working towards this. in 2019, and the united immigrants, he signed a declaration of fraternity with a leading sunni cleric. —— united immigrants. now he is engaged with one of the great sea ayatollahs in iraq. so it is part of a dialogue that he want to develop. —— united immigrants. but being there now for christians in that part of the well is important. they had had so many years of persecution and many of them led and now there seems hope perhaps they can rebuild. —— united emirates. going to iraq, pope francis is asking for attention for the safety christians there but more than that really, the conversations that he had are sustained were also about rights and about the importance that christians should have equal
