almost 15% of students at at -- at catholic schools are not catholic. over the past 30 year the percentage of minority students enrolled in catholic schools has more than doubles. despite exceptional result the success of catholic schools does not depend on selectivity as they accept nine out of every 10 students who apply. in addition to producing well-educated students, catholic schools save american taxpayers billions of dollars every year by lowering the number of students in already overburdened public schools. in fact, it's estimated that taxpayers in the chicago area alone save $1 billion because of catholic schools and approximately $20 billion nationwide. the importance of saving is undeniable to american taxpayers, especially now while many state and local governments are struggling with budget gaps. i was born and raised and lived in the chicago archdiocese which still has one of the most successful school systems in the country. more than 190,000 students atend 258 schools. in my district alone, there are seven catholic high schools and abou

for the roman catholic church, a dramatic changing of the guard with the 2005 death of john paul ii, had been pope for more than 25 years, and the election of cardinal joseph ratzinger as pope benedict xvi. for the u.s. catholic church, much of the decade was focused on addressing a massive clergy sex abuse crisis, enacting new guidelines to preve abuse, and confronting litigation that saw more than $2 billion in payouts to victims. in 2010, the clergy abuse scandal exploded across many parts of europe and posed new challenges to the vatican and top church leaders. the new millennium began with a sense of relief that a predicted y2k computer meltdown never materialized. it ends with the development of social media like facebook and twitter offering new online possibilities for personal connection and outreach, enabling information to be disseminated at lightning speed -- both for good and for ill. >>> kim, many thanks for that. welcome to you, to kevin eckstrom, and to e.j. dionne. e.j., we have a new congress, republican control of the house, more republican votes in the senate. wal

the catholics at one point decided that although muslims are going to be honorary catholics, or honorary croatians, and they formed a group. yes, we should always understa understand, always understand that whatever we have today did not appear suddenly. it is a legacy. here's a question, and this comes from lester frank from los angeles. how does any of this relate to the movement, the so-called boycott sanction movement against israel? we hear about this all the this all the time to put of the historic roots of this movement? well, you hear about this boycott. when did this start? they started january 301933, actually april of 1933 when they went to the and consulate in jerusalem and said, we are ready to join the nazi boycott against the jews. and from that it percolated as a continuous effort to deny identification to legitimacy to and commerce with the jews in palestine. it got so bad that in the latter '30s, if an epitaxy took a jew across town, that arab taxi driver must be killed. so the movement -- the one we see today is as much a legacy of the arab-nazi outlines of hate as any

[laughter] day accuse each other also with the church of england that was the big deal to except catholics to be allowed to vote only in favor because of the civil war in ireland. anyway you have to apologize he says i can and one very distinguished soldier he went on to be commander in chief of a very distinguished men asked him to talk and then they have the dual. what happens? the fact this they always lo

>> well, i welcome it, but i am one of the billion catholics who many catholics have different views on the whole range of issues upon which there is teaching by the church. i just want to pick up something if i might that christopher said because our fault is his discussion is the transcendent was very interesting actually. i mean, for those of us of religious faith, we acknowledge and believed that there is a power haulier and separate from human power, and what christopher is saying is i can't accept that but i do accept that there is something transcendent in the human experience and something even ecstatic. for me the believe in a higher power and the fact that we should be to the will of that simply not our own will i don't regard that as putting me in the position of stability and not the word i will use, i wouldn't use the word obligation, and if it is of course absolutely true that when i can point to either of the acts that i say are inspired by religious faith you can say they could easily be inspired by humanism, the i think for those of a store of faith and who do believ

roman catholic until today is illegal. roman catholic church is the biggest religious system of the world. illegal inside china. what do you want to do? chinese have probably 200 or 250,000 policemen. so-called internet police. they control the internet. well, thousands of prisoners are in the labor camps, the laogai camp. we call them holocaust. we call them gulag. did and all the prisoners whenever they are in two prison camp to jobs, forced labor, okay? i was there. i was working 12 to 12, 12 hours a day in the labor camp, in the coal mine, okay? and second job, so-called reform. you have to change your mind. have to uphold communism. and because the labor, they made the products in 1990s american customs, they investigate american enterprises. they punish six companies in the court because they import the products from america. they issue a long list in the couple service for the products coming into china. suppose they don't have it? you should have it. yesterday, canadian tv station make announcement. a canadian comp

it's the largest catholic church in the tucson area and thousands showed up to remember both victims. and while there are tears, there is also hope. the congresswoman continues to make a remarkable recovery. doctors hope to remove her breathing tube today and sit her up in a chair just six days after she was shot in the head. >> we're very encouraged that she is continuing to make all the right moves in the right direction. >> reporter: investigators are building their case against the 22-year-old suspect, detectives recovering a black bag they believe loughner used to carry his ammunition on the day of the rampage. >> there are multiple victims. need to a lot more units here. >> reporter: the sheriff's office also released the frantic radio traffic just after the shooting. >> customers have tackled the suspects. they are holding him down at the safeway. >> reporter: more than a dozen people were also wounded and the casualties could have been higher if two men hadn't tackled the suspect. karen brown, cbs news, tucson, arizona. >> one of the victims to the shooting was a uc-santa cruz

and what makes it what distinguishes it from that one the catholic christians. everybody who wants to can go inside the cathedral and share the prayers with his holiness but ricky real and with other priests who are liberating with him and most of the people like not to go to the main cathedral but to their own parish going regularly to celebrate with their own priest to have. probably. celebration food after. the greek to. greet each you know at this point it's very you know merry christmas really. all the difference in dates is because russian christians also talks christians celebrate christmas following the julian calendar named after julius caesar while catholic christians celebrated following the group korean war new calendar and that means. all the docs churches across the country celebrated thirteen days later than catholics on december twenty five previously the russians were also celebrating christmas as the rest of the world on december twenty five but it was before the revolution of nine hundred seventeen after that the holy day at all was banned thr

there was a debate going on in parliament about whether catholic should be given the vote, catholic emancipation. very important for britain not so much of catholic voters in the england, but because the majority of voters in ireland were catholic, and at that point ireland was on the research of civil war, and the english had to do something about it. and in a letter to the newspaper the earl said that the duke of wellington who was in favor of catholic emancipation even though he was of a devout anglican and had been opposed in the past, the duke of wellington was in favor of it, was leading the charge to have it happen and had made a very good speech about it in the house of lords, was covering up his sympathies. the fact that he was secretly a sympathizer with rome and the way he was covering up in competition with london university. to so the duke of wellington and the earl are both involved in setting up this university. is this going to help you understand the duel? i don't know. [laughter] they're both involved in helping set up the university. wellington is, naturally speaking, appalled

any of our schools the idea i mean sure does new york city support jewish schools back to schools catholic schools the school is absolutely not a religious school it's a public school without a public curriculum and kids are learning arabic language this you know this country sometimes we can come up with some doozies but this city is subtypes is it a league all over. i had my camera we picture of it. the staff the madrasah coalition found out that this organization that developed least teacher called arab women in the arts and. this organization shares a space with an organization to which i sit on the board there is absolutely no affiliation between me and the organization and its t.-shirt. to stop the madrassa coalition put out a press release saying that i'm personally connected to these t. shirts and this t. shirt is calling for an uprising. style in new york city and therefore i should not be beating the school. i never saw these t. shirts nor knew anything about the. news outlets all over the country go except for the new york post which is a local new york city based paper. the new

yeah, i was raised as a catholic, you know. and of course, i left the church at the age of 13 or 14. as most ex-catholics that i speak to, you know, they sort of leave the church at around that time. and i've always felt there was a, you know-- there's a basic conflict between what the church tells you and what your body tells you at that age. and if you're smart, you'll listen to your body. (paulson) and you mentioned that before this controversy, you were relatively unknown. yeah. a little more than a decade later, you are widely known and widely respected. so was that controversy a blessing or a curse? both. you know, why couldn't it be both? yeah. i mean, that's--but that's the nature of my work, that there is a lot of conflict and contradiction within the work, and certainly the way it's been perceived and seen, you know, outside of the studio is also conflicted. so who would be some of the artists that you looked to for inspiration early in your career? a lot of dead ones. but early on, i was influenced, i think, by filmm

somebody that has beats everyone else out when it comes to have ocracy and that is of course the catholic church you know it's not ok to use condoms especially not for women now only it isn't for what male prostitutes or something like that that was their recent announcement but but breaking news the pope has officially blessed social media he thinks that it's a good thing but then again he kind of took that back and said it cautioned people not to replace a virtual friends with real friends and i think that i figured out why i think it's because well let's face it we have the perfect clip that shows that the pope really really loves his face to face contact. i love it it's probably more action than the poor guy has gotten in his entire lifetime but i don't think the thing that really struck me about the story is i feel like he was being a little hypocritical here i mean he's talking about you know how we have to stay away from the evil into webs because they make us into social and not focus on the important things in life but at the same time he's advocating for spreading the christian

differently work were done for dummies with nothing the threat today does not come from jews and catholics and protestants to threaten the world today comes mostly from muslims they don't separate politics and culture in their societies that's not true christians much of jews the burden is on muslims. we ask what are they teaching the children we would like to have a hand serious and in spite of what the department and that like. claim they have not given us outsiders it is lunacy it makes no sense so we'll see them on point. this is a new york city public school with a curriculum that is mandated by the state of new york all of the classes and the whole curriculum is set up by the department of education. having spent a good part of my life. fighting against racism. what happened today and what has happened to the school. is is nothing less than races. when we were in the cell. the discrimination and the terror against black people. the stereotypes about their behavior. some of these theories types are playing again and it's forty five years later. it's a coup or sixth grade curriculum th

, as we say in catholic school. and nobody ever hammered us down. jorma, our lead guitar player, always thought that we were part of a cia lsd experiment. so that whenever we would go out across the country, they would go in ahead of us and tell the local police department, "don't arrest them; they're okay. "we got an eye on them. it's part of a program." 'cause we just got away with the most ridiculous kind of stuff. of course, even if you had that clearance from the cia, that didn't prevent certain police chiefs in certain towns from pulling the plug on the show, turning off lights. and when the police and-- or the church people or whoever would make a protest to us in contrast to the normal a.c.l.u. kind of approach, it would heighten our sales. and we would go out and debate with church leaders or politicians or policemen about this, that, or the other thing. and it would be like good publicity, really. even going to jail-- the few minor times that we were put in jail-- it got written up in all the papers. and s

he had the end coming commitment to his state, and his family, and to his catholic religion. and from his earliest days from a kid from scranton pa., a blue-collar town and is not a cliche to say they saw biden through the yearly tragedies in his life and continued to be with him throw his political career. leading his irish and who assured him early on that his father was not a bad person. [laughter] joe was foe of mischievous behavior as any kid would be. and he would concentrate on sports and then girls, when he was on spring break in the bahamas from the university of delaware, he spotted her and courted her almost phonetically from that moment and the reason he went to syracuse law school is because she lived in a suburb of syracuse and that was that. and then talking to joe with the early days they insist they heard joe say from the earliest days that he wanted to be president. he tried to back off at one point with the speech with the catholic school and the nun said joe we biden that is not true. you told me in the fifth grade you would be president but he had his eye

what does this say about where pope benedict is taking the catholic church? >> pope john paul ii was a very conservative, traditional fee elegist with a warm, charismatic personality. benedict xvi as a cartel at the time was really the brain behind that papacy. he was very comfortable standing in the shadow of john paul ii. what i think he is doing by sounding off on this is stepping into the shadow again, that is the kind of person we need in the 21st century. >>> for more than a week, people in germany have been asking how safe is the food? dangerous levels of dioxin have been found in eggs, poultry, and pork. the consumer affairs minister is under fire for not doing more sinner. today she faced her critics and presented a 10. plan to present rigid. something like this happening again. -- she presented a plan to prevent this from happening again. consumers would be informed immediately of any contamination of this kind in the future. >>> the second half of the german soccer season is underway at this hour with tabletop purse -- table toppedpers getting wins

he tried to back off of that at one point in a speech where in a catholic school when a nun said joey biden, that's not true. you told me in my class in the fifth grade that you were going to be president. but obviously he had his eyes on something higher than a local politics. he served as the county council and new castle county for just two years and then even before he served the two years he went to the democratic state chairman who was retiring from the county council for some advice. his father was coming to ask him about what his duties would be on the council and he said i want to run for the senate. so this fellow said you are representing the largest county in delaware. your constituents is much larger than it would be if you ran for this the senate and biden said on in the u.s. senate. so he was on record pretty early that that was his ambition. five years after the death of amalia biden, joe finally married again at the urging of the two boys who had been under the wing of joe's sister, valerie, from the time of the accident on until this point. in fact, they testified ab

the things that john paul did in changing the relationship between jewish people and a christian catholic world. and if you watch, he follows in his foot steps. he visited the synagogue in rome. in every country that he goes, he visits a synagogue. he was in new york, he visited a synagogue. he meets with the jewish community. so again to indicate that this changed relationship is not at persona of john paul, but it was institutional. they are criticizing his style, not the substance of the relationship. if you look at the history of anti-semitism, the history, the most dramatic change in 2,000 years is the change of the attitude between the catholic church and judaism. because unfortunately, it was for many, many years the ones that were legitimatized it. it was the most dramatic change in anti-semitism, now we have another issue. now we, you know, we have the issue with islamic fundamentalism. that's become the new vehicle for anti-semitism, whether it's iran, whether it's hamas, whether it's hezbollah, whether it's the extremist who have hijacked islam and it's radical. that today is t
