it it was initiated by pope francis. it's officially called, i believe, an extraordinary jubilee year. now can you help us understand that? what is a jubilee? >> why is this one extraordinary, and what sort of year are we dealing with? it's not a calendar year, it's some other sort of year? help us understand this whole structure. >> a long title. , extraordinary year of jubilee. the church celebrates every 25 years. it started way back in the year 1300. when people, many people were making pilgrimage to rome at the end of the 13th century because of so much suffering that was caused by car and by plagues and so they were flocking to rome to pray at the sacred places there, to beg god forgiveness for their sins. understanding our suffering is a consequence of rebellion against god. there would be a jubilee year dedicated to the forgiveness of sins. the idea of the jubilee year, it is very biblical. it goes back to old testament times, which is connected with sabath rest. every seventh day, a day dedicated to the lord. in

francis: that is the point here. how do trump's policies invigorate the chinese to do more in firms of reform, their enterprises and what they have been trying to do for ages? francis: if you look at where the u.s. is against china, wto, it is overcapacity. , glass, thoseinum are the areas where the u.s. will attack china. it will force china to cut overcapacity. gradualsts. are be muchot push them to faster. the banking system is falling because of these have bad debt. sophie: are you expecting acceleration? how do we way that in the balance? francis: a few things are going to happen. overcapacity will accelerate. steel and coal were targeted last year, and we will add more sensors. third, they made it clear he wants to pardon the bigger role in the sle. and would merge more sle have balance in the stronger balance sheet, not necessarily more competitive. are bringing to terrible companies together at the end of the day and making one gigantic terrible company. francis: it does not make them more affordable. rishaad

all of them have deep relationships with pope francis. charlie: he has this reputation for being a pastoral pope. mark: that is different from scholars. the cardinals must have been looking for a more pastoral approach. charlie: give me the politics of what happened? did benedict come in second? mark: they don't tell you. they tell you, but they don't tell you. i think he was getting ready to retire. he was up for retirement age and had started the process of moving out of his small room in buenos aires, and it's growing in africa, and he had played a prominent role in the catholic church in central and south america, helping them understand how to deal with this preferential option for the poor, where the church was focused on poor people, which is very jesuit. saint ignatius said you have to accompany people on their life, and pope francis is a jesuit. that is his training. charlie: benedict says i am retiring? i'm not up to it anymore? does he win on the first ballot? mark: he does not win on the first ballot. he wins on the second day

it's called "pilgrimage: my search for the real pope francis." pleased tore mark shriver back at this table. welcome. >> thank you. >> rose: tell me why you decided to do this and we'll talk about how you did it including going to argentina and trying to talk to the pope. >> born and raised a catholic. i have huge admiration for priests and nuns all across the country. the work we do, there is always a nun or priest in the community. what was happening with the curia, the issues around the vatican bank, sexual abuse scandals, comments about islam and women, all those things didn't mesh with the things i knew the catholic church stood for and the men and women i had admiration for. so when pope francis asked the folks to bless him before he blessed hem. the ext week when he paid his hotel bill, when he got on his knees and washed and kissed the feet of the juvenile delinquents including a muslim girl, and i have been in those places and i would never have the guts to get on my knees and kiss and wash their feet. so i wanted to know about him. he w

and there's a long quote there from pope francis? right. but there was some fact checking, debunking, of this, wasn't there? what happened to that? this debunking of that was shared 30,000 times. what is the value of fact checking now? particularly in this new environment we are working in. is there a new urgency? fact checking is essential for helping people to discern what is true or not. i remember when jimmy carter would give a speech, that tradition then was on the first day, the newspaper wrote an article. here is what the president said in his speech... then, the next day, there would be an article... here is the reaction to the president's speech. in today's media landscape, all of those elements — the speech, the reaction, the analysis — that is happening in a tweet, at the moment the speech is being given. there's no real time for reflection, only time for reaction and dismissal. donald trump's appeal to blue—collar america finds its british echo here, in the old industrial heartlands of england. these communities have been

they told me that pope francis took steps to save their lives. they didn't even know it when it happened, but 20 years later, they realize that the pope saved their lives. >> when did he change, or did he change, and why did he change if he has indeed changed? because he now gives the impression, more than an impression, it is who he is, that he is a man whose mission is to help those who need help the most. the poorest among us. the vulnerable among us. >> the jesuit ideal, he told his jesuits to go out to the fringes, to the frontier, and to accompany people on their life journey. i think his evolution, if you will, was gradual. i think that two-year period, as he said, his own exile, where he clothes and bathed dying jesuits and he listened to confession, that was his only job. imagine being banished, if you will, to the interior of argentina from buenos airess where he's born and raised and loves, and two years without a job description. that made him look inward and realize he needed to be more consultant with people, kinder, more merciful.

francis, there's another aspect to this -- pride. professional pride. that's why the men wanted to handle this, um, informally, so to speak. well, if this is how you show your pride, then turn in your blues and get the hell out of my precinct. what we're supposed to be here what the hell are you but just another vicious street gang? um...let's accede to the captain's wishes on this one, huh? shall we? i thought maybe i could see you tonight. not tonight, frank. i've got a ton of homework. i'm in appeals court in the morning at 8:00 a.m. i'm sorry about today. so am i. no. no, i'm not. look, uh...frank, the longer i see you, of us expected or wants. i know what i want. i think we both do. you always make it sound so easy, don't you, pizza man? i'll come by. we fight better in the flesh. let me see you for breakfast. is 6:00 a.m. too early? do i call you or not show up? you call. this is an all-nighter, frank, really. it's funny. i had the same thing in mind. i really care for you, counselor. me too, captain. good night. francis. yeah, phil? i, uh, might
