starting with pope francis catherine, he has ordered that the cat among the pigeons with an interview with repubblica in italy suggesting, said he has suggested that held is not exist, that something other than hell awaits those who refuse to repent? one of the problems with this interview was the problems with this interview was the person he was interviewed by does not use a tape recorder or take notes so how reliable this is i'm notes so how reliable this is i'm not sure. i was interested in this story because yesterday i was in salisbury reporting on that fair and i went into a church and i went into a church which has the most amazing medieval mural of the lastjudgment which includes people being swallowed up by an incredible dragon and in many ways our views of hell have not really changed that much. it's the place for bad people to go. of course it's the place for bad people to go. 0f coursejohn paul sartre said hell is other people so it is here already. but most people think it's already. but most people think it's a place to go. and while we might not want to end up there ou

well, yes, the vatican and pope francis are gearing up for a very busy easter weekend. he was washing the feet of 12-inch mates in a prison that is literally a stone's throw from the vatican. now, this is a tradition that happens every holy wednesday of course, but pope francis is taking it one step ahead because he does that all the time. he goes to prison and wash the feet of inmate. this time 12 men from different countries, different continents, different religions. most of them were catholic, two muslims, one was an orthodox christian, one was a buddhist. later on as i said he is going to hold a mass behind me at st. peter's basilica, and the way of the cross. the way of the cross is a tradition, reenactment that takes place all over the world while about half an hour from now one will take place in jerusalem on the villa de la rosa that is believed where christ walked on the way to the crucifixion. the most colorful one will come from the philippines where christians allow themselves to be really nailed on wooden crosses with real nails. watch or look away. >> not

but it's also not clear those were pope francis' exact words. the author, who struck up a friendship with frances, has noted that he doesn't take notes or make recordings of our conversations. he often uses his own words when quoting his holiness. today, the vatican did not confirm or deny the alleged quote but did attempt to discredit the article, saying, "it is a result of the authors reconstruction in which the exact words pronounced by the pope are not quoted. no quotes of the effort mention article must therefore be considered as a faithful transcription of the words of the holy father." pope francis has repeatedly spoken of the reality of the hill since becoming pontiff, including a very public address in 2014 when he warned members of the mafia that hell is where they would end up if they didn't repent. this is not the first time the vatican has had to distance himself from the author, who has published several other controversial articles over the last five years. shannon? >> shannon: garrett tenney, thank you very much. now we know what
