so we can... we must imagine a number of differt jewish congregations and subsections of the city in through which paul could have moved and still felt very much ahome within the jewish community. >> wherever you have a sufficient nber of jew you would have a jewish community. wherever you have a jewish community, you would have a jewish synagogue. >> narrator: by the fourth century, the synagogue had become a formal place of worship. but in paul's day, especially the diaspora, it was more of a community center. >> another remarkable feature of the synagogues in the diaspora is not only that they attracted large crowds of people, but among these crowds will have been gentiles. there is no barrier between jews and gentiles, and gentiles found the jewish synagogues-and the jews themselves, apparently-- as open, friendly, and why not go to the jewish synagogue? especially because there are no non-jewish analogs. there's nothing equivalent to this communal experience anywre in pagan or greek and roman religions. >> narrator: gentiles attending synagogues would have been exposed to judais

if the congregation of the doctrine of the faith once entitled the inquisition. it's john was to defend church teachings and combat heresy. the pups of the me cynics shown then if i recall correctly, the pope called me 1st in 1980 or was it 97979 on voice. and it said he wanted to put me in charge of the congregation for study, which was responsible for problems at universities and so forth. i said to him that i considered my episcopate to be a vow of loyalty, that i could not just run away after 2 years. and he accepted that and said, but i'll probably get back to you again. it's so common. and so it came to be one year later, the pope appointed him to the highest office of the doctrine of the faith captain. i laid down one basic condition which i thought could not be fulfilled, namely that as a former professor, i would like to continue writing books. i asked whether this could be compatible with such a task doesn't. he said, i have to think about that and get some advice. and then one day he said to me that he had sought advice and that there were precedents a

busy what i think you be remembered is a very the, a watchdog, when he was head of the congregation to the doctrine of the faith as someone who, according to the critics suppress discussion and the same within the church. and could be very fun and even cruel in his dealings with decision priests in terms of the clerical sex abuse scandal. i think that he probably did as much as he was able when he was at the top of the church or john 2nd, who didn't really get this problem. partly because of his experience in poland, where sometimes catholic priest would be falsely accused of sex abuse by the communist regime. but people have been critical of the day. one of the matters have given him credit for being among us to take my problem seriously. to do as much as he could on journalist philly will in joining us from rome there. thank you so much and fold of us joining us just now. we bring you breaking news that the former pope benedict the 16th has died. we are showing your life images of saint peter's square in the vatican, where a spokesman has announced his death. we will keep following t

the 2nd brought him to the vatican, where he was made prefect of the influential congregation for the doctrine of the faith. and when john paul died in 2005 rats and became his successor, you had a reputation for being quiet, modest and an arch conservative. he was also an intellectual and was not a man of grand gesture like his freed assessor, was even so his 1st trip to world youth day in germany would seem to success. hundreds of thousands came to cheer him as pope, he saw himself as the guardian of the faith of the catholic church and was a strict advocate of celibacy. he criticized the recognition of same sex relationships and condemned doctor super formed abortions. ready benedict sought dialogue with other religions seeking contact with the leaders of the christian orthodox churches. he also try to improve relations with islam and judaism. but there were also setbacks. for example, when he brought the controversial society a st tires back into the church, even though some of its leaders were anti c mites and holocaust deniers. but it was the child abuse scandals in the church t

we came, prefect of the congregation, for the doctrine of the facent is often described as the doctrinal watchdog. so what it was his intellectual legacy. i mean, he was known as a theological rottweiler. so i mean, right, somebody that this was an expression that was use and it was use in the u. k. assess, he was brinkets 2010. i believe he said, ah, i, it's understood that he was a very kind and very quiet man and not withstanding whatever the institutional his institutional record may be. but he was most certainly an intellectual, and he was somebody that sort of saw it as his as his job to a large degree to defend the doctrine and to defend the dogma and behave in this way. but when i say doctrine, doug, my certainly do not mean this rogatories sense. i mean, he really thought that he was in it sort of one of his test was actually to defend catholicism in. it's sort of say your for him, this obviously brought him into confrontation with a lot of people that sort of wanted much more open and much more, let's say, a multi faceted catalyst system. but i think that ultimately what also h

you have a lot of young congregates.hat we do give celebrity a pass in america, even if you don't like the particular celebrity, it seems different, right? you can write people off because of their celebrity or you could not say it's at dangerous. this is people as the second gentleman said, screaming the quiet part out loud. what is your take? >> yeah, there is clearly a correlation between this rhetoric that we are hearing and actions. like you said, these celebrities have an incredible platform. tremendous reach! millions upon millions of followers. people listen to their words. whether they take them seriously, or not, as you said they created permission structure for that sentiment to be out there in the world. i often tell my congregants that -- nature abhors a vacuum, as aristotle said. antisemitism loves one. i think we see that here. wherever there is empty space, wherever there is a void and we have rhetoric entering into philippe when it is not contested it festers and it grows. that means, i think, but this r

[applause] rabbi walker: i want to thank you, dr. biden, for your kind words. we are so grateful to you and we are so grateful to president biden for your warmth and hospitality. it means the world. it really means the world to us. a lot of people ask me about that day. they don't ask about -- they will talk about this and i will respond back, that we all made it out. saint god it was not a tragedy. -- thank god it was not a tragedy. [applause] rabbi cytron-walker: it was terrifying and we got out. that is the story of hanukkah, the story of jewish people who have suffered loss in war and despite all the struggles, we are here today to celebrate because against all odds, judaism endures and judaism has thrived. to celebrate the time of this year, with such gratitude, it is so good to be here. it is so good to stand here before you. last night we said thank you, god for enabling us to reach this. i meant it. i'm so grateful

think about the young men of your congregation either enlisting or, being drafted for the war. you have to pastoral care for that young man and for family. a young woman volunteers for the for the ymca work overseas and decides to go and help out with nursing care or help out in what we call the ymca huts and serve the soldiers on front line, giving them books, writing paper or envelopes. cigaret as they how would you counsel these young people and their going off and to what could be death. what about the dislocations in the workforce what about women in your congregation now going industrial work going to work for the cable car sweeping the streets in downtown what about these social the sense of social dislocation the sense of of of challenge to the families. how do you do this and how do you and how do you reverse this? when the war is over and you try to go back to normal times? so there are those demands on pastors and other officers in the church. we have its own unique story. the story of the service of chaplains in the war war jewish rabbis, catholic priests, protestan

the small congregation i was rabbi, tech support and gatekeeper. when a member asked if i knew the person at the door, i was distracted, but i still did a visual inspection and after a brief word he appeared to be who he said he was. a guy who spent the night outside and 40 degree weather. and after talking with him more, the story added up. of course, i was wrong, i was so wrong. i share this because despite all the plans and funding and courses, i still opened the door. but because of all the plans and funding and courses and dozens of small things that just happened to go right, to go our way, we were able to escape. no one should fear gathering or praying. or celebrate or mourn or connect in their spiritual home. no one should experience such hatred and violence, no one should experience anything remotely like what i had. in 1947, perhaps the leading rabbi at that time, rabbi stephen told the senate labor committee the equality of opportunities for jews can be truly secured in a generally democratic society continued. we seek to fight every man

i welcomed a terrorist into my congregation. i live with that responsibility and it's important for you to understand that this was not a matter of me opening the door, just because i value hospitality. i do value hospitality. the squirrel that we read from each week was gifted to our congregation thanks to hospitality. i strive to live the value every day. like so many congregations, cbi strives to be a house of prayer for all people and at the same time, i also value security. the small congregation i was rabbi, texas, port gatekeeper. when our member asked if i knew the person at the door, i was distracted. i still did a visual inspection and after a brief word he appeared to be who he said he was. a guy who spent a night outside insubordinate grew whether. after talking with him more, his story added up. of course, i was wrong. i was so wrong. i share this because despite all the plans and funding and courses, i still opened the door. but because of all the plans and funding in courses, and dozens of small things that just h

he then became more of a conservative figure, a prefect of the congregation of the doctorate of the congregationerned about drawing up clear lines of how far church debates could go or what to proposals to reform church doctrine could go. and he also took important steps to tackle the clerical sexual abuse crisis. so it is a mixed legacy in many respects, because on the one hand he was renowned as an enforcer but on the other hand, through his decision to resign, his legacy is one of reform. because, of course, without the resignation of benedict, we never would have had pope francis. you talk about a _ would have had pope francis. you talk about a mixed legacy and you touched upon this idea of the first in 600 years to resign and the demystification is what you said. but when it comes to the sexual abuse scandal, the crisis that has rocked the catholic church, you are saying he was progressive and a reformist. did he genuinely do enough to deal with that head—on? i think he took the initial steps and i think he made important changes, and as i said earlier, he took the abuse crisis seriously. t

i mean, the congregation for the turn of the faith is essentially the inheritor of the. it's actually the same office holding position that became this office and essentially it's an office or it's a, it's a, it's a congregation that is in charge of revising the relation between practice and doctrine. making sure that people are following doctrine. what is interesting about it is that she became really an expression of the church, essentially trying to hold on to its old values and old claims in 2001 right singer than still right singer became became basically the person that convinced john paul the 2nd to move gaze of sexual abuse from the day offices to the vatican's and he was the one who oversaw this. so in a sense, i think that is the men blearily came from an intellectual sort of background. he was a writer, he was a researcher, he was a professor and they think that this translated into administrative practices that were not necessarily very effective. the fact, however, is that he did come into this phase of powers. he himself or somebody that could solve this is

is that the congregation of the doctrine of the faith there? i was a young priest that was accompanying a couple of laypeople who had an appointment with him. he couldn't have been nicer. he really was a humble man. as regards, though his figure he was someone who you know, had the millet e of speaking the truth with confidence. he believed firmly that jesus christ was the eternal son of god that he had founded the church to be the herald of that message of who jesus was and why he came to earth. and he spoke, you know, plainly, confidently and lovingly, and, uh, not everyone was happy with everything, he said. that's not to be best to be expected. but on the other hand, he didn't shy away. but it didn't make him into. you know, a person who was angry with others or had a kind of attitude problem if you don't agree with me, i don't want to see you know. it was funny at the beginning of the pontificate. it i wanted his former colleagues of famous professor hans kohn, who was very much a rebel priest he had broken with catholic tradition in many

a cardinal by his early 50s, an ailing popejohn paul ii made him head of the sacred congregation for the doctrine of faith, formally the roman inquisition. there he upheld traditional catholic teaching on abortion, contraception and homosexuality. he even spoke against rock music and the harry potter books. whenjohn paul died in april 2005, he was one of the church's longest serving cardinals and presided at the funeral. his homily, based onjesus�* instruction, follow me, proved prophetic. afterjust four ballots, white smoke from the sistine chapel announced cardinal ratzinger�*s election. habemus papum. the oldest pope for 275 years. as pope benedict xvi, he sought to re evangelize the west. it was an attempt to roll back the advance of secularism in europe and north america. but in it lay an acknowledgement of the church's declining influence in its traditional heartlands. but he also sparked controversy in 2006 when during a lecture he gave in germany, he quoted criticism of islam by a 14th century christian leader and appeared to link the religion with jihad and holy war. there w
