1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: News when you wanted with Bloomberg News Now, I'm Nathan Hager.

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: Pope Francis has died, the Vatican's Cardinal Kevin Farrell says

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: the leader of the Roman Catholic Church passed away this

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: morning after Easter, a day after what would turn out

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: to be his final public appearance at Saint Peter's Basilica.

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: Pope Francis was the first pontiff from the Americas, the

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: first non European since Gregory the Third in the eighth century,

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: the first to take the name of Saint Francis of Assisi.

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: But before he became the two hundred and sixty sixth

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis was Cardinal

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: Jorge Mario Bergoldlio of Argentina, a Jesuit priest focused on simplicity.

12
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: As Georgetown University Dean Chester Gillis told us on the

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: day of his ascension, he.

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: Comes from a modest background. Apparently he's one of five

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: children and his father was a railroad worker, so he

16
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: doesn't come from any kind of blue blood background himself.

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: And in his Papacye Francis captivated Catholics and many liberal

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: outsiders with his calls for a more compassionate church, particularly

19
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: for the less fortunate.

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: I would like a church for the poor.

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: Francis embraced the idea of a church for the poor

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: in one of his first speeches as pontiff. He spoke

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: often against inequities in global business, including in this speech

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: to a joint session of Congress in twenty fifteen in Washington, DC.

25
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: It can be fulfilled source of prosperity from the area

26
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 3: in which it operates, especially if it sees the creation

27
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 3: of jobs as an essential part of its service to

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: the common Lords.

29
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: Pape Francis also took a less doctrinair view on social

30
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: issues within the church. In his first news conferences pontiff,

31
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: he was asked about gay men serving as priests, something

32
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: Pope Benedict strictly of Pope neegee. If a person is

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: gay and accepts the Lord and has good will, who

34
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: am I to judge them? And his views often put

35
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: him in conflict with the rise of populism around the world.

36
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: Francis defended the rights of immigrants in this speech to

37
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: American bishops, but.

38
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 4: Rest and keep in mind that they also possess resources

39
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 4: meant to be shared, and so open your arms and

40
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: welcome to them, and welcome them without fear.

41
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: And he pushed to abolish secrecy around the Catholic Church's

42
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: deepest scandal, the decades of sexual abuse by pedophile priests.

43
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: Francis discussed it in this interview with CBS's Sixty Minutes.

44
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: It cannot be tolerated. Where there is a case of

45
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: a religious man or woman.

46
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: Who abuses, the full force of the law falls upon them.

47
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: In this there has been a great deal of progress well.

48
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: Francis even invited abuse victims to the Vatican to apologize

49
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: to them personally, but for some it wasn't enough. Many

50
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: accused Francis of ignoring warnings about former Cardinal Theodore mcarrick's

51
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: alleged abuses when they arose in twenty thirteen. Francis's off

52
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: the cuff remarks would sometimes get him into trouble as well.

53
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: The Pope had to walk back that comment urging Ukraine

54
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 1: to raise the white flag two years into its war

55
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: with Russia, but his calls for a more peaceful world

56
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: and a more humble and caring Catholic Church defined the

57
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: papacy of Jorge Mario Burgolio of Argentina Francis, Bishop of Rome.

58
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: And that's news when you wanted with Bloomberg News. Now,
