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 did as well. and he will talk to the president about immigration, immigration reform for our country is indeed a world issue. and so all of these -- and, of course, the environment. i mean, they're on their way to glasgow for the climate summit. the pope has written an encyclical all about the environment. it is very near and dear to his heart. you can be sure he'll be pushing that with president biden as well. >> there is a lot of alignment between their two agendas. is there anything off the table in these discussions? >> john, a lot of people have been talking about the kerfuffle about communion, whether or not president biden should be able to receive communion. we heard the pope say he's never not giving communion to anyone, and that he doesn't think that it should be used as a divisive wedge with anyone. i don't think that's going to get discussed. i think president biden is going to leave those issues to the local bishop where president biden worships. with the cardinal of washington, grego

president and any world leader and the pope, pope francis here at the vatican. the white house says the two discussed some serious issues, climate change, as well as the pandemic during the meeting and in particular sharing more vaccines with developing countries around the world. but a very warm, laughs and jokes filled meeting between the two of them as well as exchanging gifts. soon, perhaps a different meeting for president biden. he will meet his french counterpart emmanuel macron. this follows a very public dispute between the u.s. and france. this following france briefly recalling its ambassador for the first time in more than 100 years from the u.s., upset over a u.s.-led deal to sell nuclear submarines to australia, which undercut france's own submarine deal with that country. french diplomats complaining to me and others they had no notice of that. we'll take you live there at the beginning of the meeting to see what the president has to offer to attempt to repair that relationship. a lot coming forward today and in the coming days, erica. we'll be he

this is part of pope francis' wider _ early stage? this is part of pope francis' wider reforming - early stage? this is part of pope francis' wider reforming agenda | early stage? this is part of pope - francis' wider reforming agenda and it is certainly not universally popular. he wants the chance to be less hierarchical and a more consultative, more listening to her ordinary lay catholics and that is certainly not universally popular. i spoke to one conservative this week who described this process is a recipe for chaos. some really value the church's traditional hierarchy and they worry that this process will throw into confusion some of theissues will throw into confusion some of the issues that the church has historically been very firm but very clear on. ~ ., historically been very firm but very clear on. a, ., ._ ., , clear on. moving away from this articular clear on. moving away from this particular story _ clear on. moving away from this particular story to _ clear on. moving away from this particular story to the _ clear on

, pope francis. >> that is exactly right. wolf. the president's closest advisers talked about how he relishes the personal element of politics of his job and how effective he thinks those personal interactions are. and in his first full day in rome, he an opportunity to put that on display in one meeting deeply personal trying to build on a relationship, in the other just trying to salvage one. >> thank you, thank you, thank you. >> >> reporter: tonight a day of the deeply personal. >> my son would want me to give this to you. >> reporter: and the candidly diplomatic. day one of biden's high-stakes foreign trip book ended by two closely watched meeting with pope francis and french president emmanuel macron. a trip to the vatican to meet with the pope with a shared faith and in biden's view philosophy. >> you are the most significant warrior for peace i've ever met. >> reporter: the force meeting between the two. but at 90 minutes, the longest and most in depth by far officials said coming as a fierce debate plays out between

pope francis has division within his ranks. joe biden as president of the united states we are seeing playing out at home, divided. this is not a robust debate. this is a problem he has. he has to fix it because he's at the top of the party. and then what joins them both, not just being catholic, but concerns about the world, about the extension of loving mercy and suffrage. that's what i think you will hear coming out of this meeting, john and brianna. the pope, the vatican, the president and the white house talking about what brought them together and the universeality helping in climate and in poverty. . >> yeah. talking about kindness, talking about charity. which, you know, it's always important. it's nice to see a focus on that. chris cuomo, stand by. we will come back to you soon. >>> rich burr under investigation for insider trading. what the sec says his pwroerpl did seconds after speaking with the senator. this is wealth. ♪ ♪ this is worth. that takes wealth. but this is worth. and that - t that's actually worth m

pope francis has reacted. tell us more about that. seema: as news of the report revealed those shocking details, soon after you had the vatican spokesperson revealing to the media that pope francis had indeed met with french bishops in recent days and had taken note of the report. he saidhat his first thoughts were for the victims. he wasilled with imnse sadness for their trauma and gratitude, as you mentioned, for their bravery in coming forward. he also talked about h in his prayer, the pope and trusts to god the people of france, the catholics in france, but also the victims in particular, that they may find comfort and consolation, as well as justice, which will be the way in which they can get some kind of healing. it is interesting to note that this independent committee that looked into these cases and came up with these findings was actually set up at the request of the catholic church in france , and that was because in 2018 when they set it up, it was in response to criticism that the church in france was facing in handling

biden meeting for 75 minutes in private with pope francis on friday. president biden said the pope praised him as a good catholic. he said the issue of abortion did not come up yesterday and the pope said he should keep receiving communion. that has been a source of controversy with u.s. bishoping arguing that catholic politicians who support abortion rights should be denied abortion. the vatican statement did not mention the topic. president biden looking to rebuild trust in a meeting yesterday with the french president emmanuel macron after the u.s. angered france by signing a submarine deal with australia. the president admitting his administration made a mistake, calling it, quote, clumsy. the president's next stop is a worldwide climate conference in glasgow, our next stop as well. joe, back to you. >> peter, thank you so much. >>> it's time for a weekend morning boost. kristen, you have the honor this morning. >> i do. this is a good one. you'll like it. this was the dream of a lifetime for one 97-year-old tennis player from the ukraine. rafael n

, with pope francis. this isn't his first meeting, but it's -- you know, it's obviously going to be a time when this comes into context of him being here in rome for this go g20, for this moment of multilateralism. it's an attempt to show by biden that america is back and, you know, starting this whole process by meeting with the pope is hopefully going to set the tone for sort of collaborative skuxs. >> you heard ben say they're going to be talking about this covid-19 pandemic that's still affecting so many people in the u.s. and indeed around the world. abortion rights for women, that will also be a sensitive issue. i assume that will come up. these two men disagree. >> that is a very sensitive issue. in fact, you know, as we've seen, you know, there are conservative elements in the catholic church in the united states who are, you know, upset with biden's position on that. it's obviously a very live issue. it's always been in the catholic church, and i certainly expect them to talk about it. what exact

so pope francis is not alone. leo cited with workers and -- sided with workers and that offended many affluent of the day and the corporate world of the day, but the church has been following that since leo the 13th. lisa: for folks who read their bible, we are seeing all kinds of stuff now -- pestilence, wars, earthquakes -- you can't tell what season it is. are we in the last days? [laughter] cardinal gregory: fast answer, i don't think so. what we are doing is experiencing the opportunity and necessity of taking charge of our environment more effectively . whether you are a proponent of climate change or energy programs that step away from fossil fuels, you have to acknowledge that if we don't it a handle on this, things are going to get worse. lisa: do you believe in climate change? cardinal gregory: i do. does that make me bad? [applause] to be honest, there's a lot we don't know. i don't want to say the scientists working in this area, they are still discovering the impact and the possibility of solar energy

and this is his fourth meeting with pope francis. they are two men who come from similar generations and also similar wings, from similar generations and also similarwings, i from similar generations and also similar wings, i suppose, from similar generations and also similarwings, isuppose, of from similar generations and also similar wings, i suppose, of the communities they preside over, the catholic church and the united states of america, and in that way, they are both actually rather disliked by conservative circles within american catholicism so, for example, the us catholics' bishops conference has promoted the idea thatjoe biden should be denied communion because have his support for the abortion rights. i do not think that issue will be directly discussed today, it will more be an issue about climate change, migration, issues they see eye to eye on but it is an live snake depolarisation spilling over from eye on but it is an live snake depolarisation spilling overfrom us politics into the catholic church —— but it is...

pope francis, there was original talk that he would go. largely because of his sciatica that bothers him, he will stay here. he wants to plant his message that he sent to us along to scotland. >> father dwyer is obviously of busted halo. that's his thing, not mine you can hear him on sirius xm. he has a whole thing on sirius xm. you've been writing a lot about this and why. how does it stack up between other meetings between president and pontiff? . >> it is a very significant meeting. the pope is very concerned about global warming. frankly, i think the vatican will be disappointed that the president has not been able to get the fullbacking of the congress on his climate change agenda and therefore weaken the president for the cop 26 meeting in scotland. the pope feels strongly about this and has written on the environmental crisis and global warming. and this is at the top of the agenda. my guess is that most of the time in the meeting was speaking about this. >> father reese, appreciate you very much. look, we're going to know soon. we

they've communicated since pope francis became pope back in 2013. his visit to the united states back in 2015. and obviously they've been in contact since the president became the president of the united states. but also i think more broadly on the issues themselves when it comes to the pandemic, when it comes to refugees, when it comes to inequality, these are issues the president obviously has made central to his presidency and the pope has made central to his papacy. and those were all issues that were discussed during these meetings, john. >> based on what we saw, and we can't really know what happened behind closed doors, but based on what we saw they seemed to enjoy each other's company. phil mattingly, stay right there. i want to bring in cnn political commentator, a former massachusetts democratic congressman, joe kennedy. congressman, president biden obviously only the second catholic president in u.s. history. the first was your great uncle, president john f. kennedy. so what do you make of the rapport that the two men, the pontiff and the

pope francis has become -- i do not want to exaggerate that has become someone who has provided great solace to my family. he is, in my view, has stashed there has always been debate in the catholic church going back to pope john xxiii that talks about how we reach out and embrace people with differences. if you notice what the pope said when he first got elected and he was traveling with the press and he said -- they said what is your position on homosexuality, he said who am i to judge? this is a man with great empathy. he is a man that understands part of christianity is to reach out and forgive. so, i find my relationship with him one that i personally take great solace in. he is a truly genuine, decent man. i will end by saying there is an awful lot of people, and many of you who went out of your way to express your empathy and sympathy when i lost the real part of mice -- real part of my soul, my son, my family will never forget because when i was it was only a matter of days since my son had passed. pope francis came to the united states to visit with not only president obama,

through the death of his son beau. >> in 2015, pope francis visited the u.s. just months after joe biden had lost his son, beau, to cancer. during the visit, biden escorted the pope at several of his stops. biden later recalled that as he was saying good-bye to the pope in philadelphia, francis asked to meet with biden's family and offered them comfort over the loss of beau. >> he provided us with more comfort than even he, i think, will ever understand. >> reporter: but this visit also comes as biden's broader relationship with the church experiences complications. some influential church leaders, displeased with the president. >> there are some catholics, including some bishops in the united states, who believe that by supporting abortion rights and, thereby, contradicting the clearly and moral teaching of the catholic church on abortion, president biden has, in effect, put himself outside the fold. and as such, should not be eligible to receive communion when he comes to mass. >> reporter: but john alan says that's a position pope francis himself does not a
