Overlooking the Vatican's or just a

all kids are quote precious in
2:58
God's eyes. We've been in Rome
3:00
and Vatican City for a few
3:02
days now, speaking with people from
3:04
around the world who made the
3:06
sacred pilgrimage to reconnect with their
3:08
faith, pray at the Sistine Chapel
3:10
and have a chance to see
3:12
Pope Francis. a reminder that people
3:14
of all faiths turned to Pope
3:16
Francis for guidance on the world's
3:18
most difficult issues, making. Our conversation
3:21
with His Holiness. That. Much
3:23
more important, Oh
3:26
my goodness, Answer to your holiness
3:28
on an honor so wonderful to
3:30
meet You love to meet you!
3:32
Yes! thank you so much for
3:35
doing us! We met Pope Francis
3:37
today at Casa Santa Marta. The.
3:39
Guest House where the Pontiff lives
3:41
instead of the lavish people palace
3:43
and eighty seven years old. He
3:45
may have trouble walking, but he
3:48
had no difficulty sitting down with
3:50
us for an hour long conversation.
3:53
How's your health he says
3:55
soviet Marty Health is good.
3:58
In nearly every a. He
4:00
softened his sons of as leverage the.
4:03
Hope often calls for peace. He
4:05
condemned Hamas is October Seventh attack
4:07
but as also called on Israel
4:09
to use restraint. They are now
4:12
pictures. Of starving children coming
4:14
out of Gaza. What
4:17
about those said Call that
4:20
a genocide. Tennessee
4:24
set aside for some of both of
4:26
us. Thought of this as a system.
4:28
Every afternoon at seven Pm I call
4:30
girls are to the parish. Ah
4:33
yes, there were about six hundred people
4:36
there and they tell me what's going
4:38
on. Look, associate. And
4:41
whistles, it's very hard. Very
4:43
very hard. To food goes
4:45
in the lessons they will cut it says
4:47
they have to fight for it wasn't It's
4:49
very hard. I know you
4:52
call for peace. You have called for
4:54
a ceasefire in many of your salmons.
4:57
Can you help negotiate peace?
5:00
I can pray I do agree
5:02
a lot. During
5:05
World Children's Day which is the end.
5:07
Of may be un says
5:09
over a million people will
5:11
be facing salmon in Gaza.
5:13
Many. Of them children. What
5:17
can be done? And
5:20
sort of that, bisimwa. So not
5:22
only Gaza we should think about,
5:24
you crave. Kiss. On
5:26
Ninos know southern softly so kids
5:28
don't know how to smile. I
5:30
tell them something but they forgot
5:33
how to smile This and this
5:35
is very hard when a child
5:37
forgets to smoke. That's really very
5:39
serious very soon as if we
5:41
having. Do you have a
5:43
message for Latin they're putting when it comes
5:45
to. Ukraine. Put.
5:49
Forward please. In
5:53
the face, single countries at war. All
5:55
of them. the
5:57
thing that Stop
6:01
the war. Look to negotiate.
6:03
Look for peace. A
6:05
negotiated peace is better than a war
6:08
without end. His
6:14
most holy father is considered one of
6:17
the most influential people in the world,
6:20
leading nearly 1.4 billion
6:22
Catholics. He is the first
6:24
pope from the Americas, the first
6:26
Jesuit, and the host of Vatican's
6:28
first World Children's Day next month.
6:31
I love that you take the kids in the Pope
6:33
Mobile with you and bring them up to
6:36
the Apostolic Paulist when you say
6:38
a prayer. Why
6:40
do you do that? Children
6:46
always bear a message. They
6:48
bear a message, and it is a way for us to
6:50
have a younger heart. Francis
6:54
is also the first pontiff
6:56
to make climate change a
6:58
priority. In 2015, to make
7:00
an important point, images of
7:02
the environment were projected onto
7:04
St. Peter's Basilica, the dome
7:07
designed in the mid-16th century
7:09
by Michelangelo. What
7:11
do you say to the deniers of climate
7:13
change? There
7:17
are people who are foolish, and foolish
7:20
even if you show them research. They don't believe it. Why?
7:25
Because they don't understand the situation
7:27
or because of their interest. But
7:29
climate change exists. His
7:36
progressive style has made him
7:38
popular worldwide, with millions coming here
7:41
to St. Peter's Square to catch a glimpse of
7:43
the Holy Father. feel
8:00
the spirit. Sophia
8:03
and Aaron came with their family from
8:05
San Diego, California. How
8:07
did it make you feel when he came out of a window?
8:10
It made me feel good,
8:13
like, better by the next
8:15
minute. Still the
8:17
number of Catholics in America is dwindling.
8:19
In the U.S., only 20% of
8:21
adults identify as Catholic, and that's down from 24%
8:24
in 2007. I
8:27
wonder if you could speak to those who
8:29
don't go to Mass anymore, or
8:32
maybe don't see a place for themselves
8:35
in the Catholic Church. I
8:43
would say there is always a place, always.
8:49
If in this parish the priest doesn't seem
8:52
welcoming, I understand, but go and
8:54
look. There
9:00
is always a place. Do
9:03
not run away from the Church. The Church is
9:05
very big. It's more than
9:07
a temple. It's more. You
9:09
shouldn't run away from it. We
9:13
also asked the Pope about the
9:15
migrant crisis, gay rights, women's
9:18
role in the Church, and whether
9:20
he's thinking about retirement. We'll
9:23
have that and much more on
9:25
60 Minutes on Sunday, May 19th,
9:28
and then a prime time special
9:30
on Monday, May 20th, right here
9:32
on CBS. For
9:35
our interview with Pope Francis, we also wanted to take
9:37
a pulse of the Catholic Church back home in the
9:39
U.S. So we asked Catholics
9:41
in cities across the country about their
9:43
relationship with the Church, how they feel
9:46
about this Pope, and what message they
9:48
want to hear from him. to
10:00
support the care for the environment. We support
10:02
him. He is
10:04
our guide. Like
10:07
the church he leads, Americans' opinions of
10:09
Pope Francis are diverse. He's got some
10:11
things that I agree with, some things
10:14
maybe I don't agree with. We always
10:16
need Pope's. The challenge are what you're
10:18
thinking, and I think he's doing that.
10:20
While a majority of American Catholics view
10:22
Francis favorably, many we spoke with
10:24
thought the church needed to evolve.
10:28
83% of US Catholics want the church to
10:30
allow the use of contraception, and more than
10:32
half think the church should recognize gay
10:34
marriage. I think they do need to
10:36
bring women into the church. They need
10:38
to ordain women as priests, and they
10:40
need to allow priests to marry. Everything
10:42
changes, and sometimes I think
10:44
the church needs to change too. A recent
10:47
survey found more Americans were leaving
10:49
the Catholic church at higher rates
10:51
than any other religion. I feel
10:53
like I could just be spiritual anywhere.
10:55
You know, I don't really necessarily have
10:57
to go to church. I
11:02
think there's been a lot of bad news about
11:04
the Catholic religion, about the priests
11:06
in general, and I think people have
11:08
turned around and walked away from that.
11:10
We have a lot of young people
11:12
that grew up in the Catholic church,
11:15
but they don't feel that they're
11:17
getting the message. They feel they're
11:19
not accepted. They feel they might
11:21
be ostracized. They feel
11:23
that they don't
11:25
belong to the church. We spoke with Patrick
11:28
Egan, who left the Catholic church as
11:30
a teenager, only to come back in
11:32
search of a community. He's now a leader
11:34
at a local parish. Does the
11:36
Catholic church feel different under Pope Francis? Yes,
11:39
Francis is really trying to open the door
11:42
to participation by people
11:44
who have been traditionally outside
11:46
of the hierarchy. He blames
11:48
strict adherence to ideology for the
11:50
decline, but says that can change. What do
11:52
you think it would take for the Catholic
11:55
church to be able to
11:57
reconnect with Americans? They need to meet Americans
11:59
where they are. The Are we are very
12:01
secular society and so the church can
12:03
figure out a way to help people
12:06
understand how a spiritual journey and a
12:08
feast community on can really make one
12:10
slice more rich and meaningful. That I
12:12
think is also part of the story.
12:17
And. Rookie, but he joins us now and
12:19
that is. So many of the people
12:21
we spoke with here thought that Pope
12:23
Francis has been much more inclusive inclusive.
12:25
What did you learn? The
12:29
ceiling is very much the same here in
12:31
the Us. Pope Francis has made a concerted
12:33
effort to soften the message of the Catholic
12:35
church if an approach that has eight or
12:37
some of the more conservative followers. But as
12:39
far as a whole, plan to make all
12:41
feel welcome. Nora. Who.
12:45
We. Also, ask them about those conservative
12:47
Bishop. he'll hear about that later.
12:49
And nikki the teeth. Thank you.
12:51
Now to tonight's other top story.
12:54
Clashes between police and pro Palestinian
12:56
demonstrators are intensifying. Protests at Columbia
12:58
University in New York are now
13:00
in their eighth day and a
13:02
the Speaker of the House was
13:04
on campus calling on the schools
13:06
president to restore order. City is
13:08
Nancy. Chan has more on the
13:10
growing nationwide tensions. This
13:14
was the scene at the University Southern
13:16
Tell soon after school security. Tried to
13:18
such students from sitting at the
13:21
protests encampment. Hundreds of demonstrators. Surrounded
13:23
as a tool. To
13:26
see who's student, whose leader release.
13:30
As University of Texas Austin police
13:33

13:35
That consulted about two hundred students
13:37
participating in a pro Palestinian really
13:39
on the East coast. injured were
13:41
set up an encampment. On her
13:44
resort in solidarity with student protesters
13:46
at Columbia. university where healthy for
13:48
my johnson smoothly to do and
13:50
was met with his shoes in
13:52
zoos i'm here today join him
13:55
my colleagues going on president should
13:57
be to resign if she could
13:59
not immediately bring order to this
14:01
chaos. This
14:03
is day 8 of the protests
14:06
at Columbia University. The school said
14:08
it is making important progress with
14:10
protesters. It has given students a
14:12
deadline to dismantle their tents. The protesters
14:14
say they will not leave until
14:16
the school agrees to cut its business ties to
14:18
Israel. We need the administrators of
14:20
these universities to get control of the situation.
14:22
And if they can't, then we
14:24
need the National Guard, law enforcement, or someone to come
14:26
in here and take control. Are you
14:29
calling for the National Guard to come here? Desperate times
14:31
call for desperate measures. For
14:34
now, New York Governor Kathy Hochul says she has
14:36
no plans to send in the Guard.
14:38
Columbia announced today that because of the
14:40
unrest, there will be a remote option
14:42
for upcoming final exams. Graduation is
14:44
set to take place on campus in
14:47
three weeks, Nora. Nancy
14:50
Chen, thank you so much. We
14:52
turn out of the Supreme Court
14:54
in a case that could have
14:57
wide-ranging implications for women's health care
14:59
nationwide. At issue is the conflict
15:01
between Idaho's near total abortion ban
15:04
and a federal law that requires
15:06
hospitals to provide emergency medical treatment.
15:08
CBS's Jan Crawford was there for
15:10
the oral arguments. The
15:13
justices were sharply divided over Biden
15:16
administration arguments that federal law, which
15:18
requires hospitals to provide necessary stabilizing
15:20
treatment, including abortions, overrides Idaho's
15:23
near total ban, which permits
15:25
abortion to save a mother's
15:27
life but not when her
15:29
health is at risk. Idaho
15:31
law says the doctor has to
15:33
determine not that there's
15:36
merely a serious medical condition, but
15:38
that the person will die. The
15:41
court's liberal justices provided real-life examples of women
15:43
who have been denied abortions in states with
15:45
restrictive laws. Her life is
15:47
non-impereled, but she's going to lose her reproductive
15:50
organs. She's going to lose the ability to
15:52
have children in the future, unless
15:54
an abortion takes place. But
15:57
some conservative justices noted that in Idaho, Doctors say that the court is not going
15:59
to be able to get a better education. Can perform some abortions.
16:01
If they believe the woman is in danger.
16:03
Of dying, Rao Labrador is Idaho's Attorney
16:05
General. They continue to say it's that
16:08
this was putting women's lives in jeopardy
16:10
and it is not. Ideal
16:12
assists. I'll say the biden ministration is trying
16:14
to find a backdoor way to broaden. Of
16:17
worse and access. They. Will be
16:19
more abortions happening in in hospitals
16:21
because they will create an exception
16:23
that will allow any type of
16:26
abortion to happen in the fate
16:28
of Ayatollah Cc. Sigh of a
16:30
high risk pregnancy Doctor in Idaho
16:32
says physicians are now afraid to
16:34
perform. Abortions even if the state law
16:37
may allow it. Over fears they
16:39
could be prosecuted. We. Need to
16:41
be a was want to kill people at this point. And.
16:43
You know you could face criminal
16:45
prosecution guess yes and jail time.
16:49
And in the political world today, another
16:52
state with a near total ban, Arizona
16:54
is now poised to repeal it after
16:56
three republicans join with democrats and the
16:58
Arizona House that will go to the
17:00
Arizona senator where their support for the
17:02
repeal and then to the Governor who
17:04
is expected to sign at that would
17:06
mean that in Arizona abortions again would
17:08
be permitted up to sixteen. Weeks
17:11
Norris. That's
17:13
a big development and Crawford thank
17:15
you for biden the signed a
17:18
bipartisan National Security Package into law
17:20
today. The measure forces six South
