it from that catholic priest. it is encouraged for roman catholics to familiarize themselves with eastern catholics and to at least once in their life attend an liturgy in the eastern and in our case byzentine tradition. >> i've done so and i find it interesting and the music is beautiful. >> very beautiful. >> and the homilies are good because they're delivered by you. >> thank you. [ laughter ]. >> i've seen your work, it's very good. >> thank you. >> let me ask you about the name of this parish, our lady of fatima, and the next word is russian. >> the parish was formed in the 1950s when there is a great deal of focus on fatima particularly as they concerned to some degree russia and the future of russia and humanity. faol o greatus our oclady of russia specifically. this was during the soviet era, and so a russian byzentine catholic church was named after the mother of god with that title, our lady of fatima, and that was a particular focus for the the russian apostolate at that time. >> let me talk about mary.

catholic church. that is quite a string of adjectives. he will explain what it all means. we will ask him to help us get better acquainted with a woman who is fair to say, has proved to be the most fascinating woman in human history. she walked this earth more than 2000 years ago but is still as current as the latest news. and is very much in the news at this moment. may 13, 2017 is the 100th anniversary of the day when three children from fatima and portugal, minding their sheep, had a conversation with a lady that said she had come from heaven to talk with them. on may 13, pope francis will visit fatima to canonize the little shepherds as saints. at the same time at home, our archdiocese has a deeper relationship with this miraculous later period does this -- with this immaculate lady. please join me and father kevin as we get to know more about mother, the mother of jesus and the mother of us all. ,,,,,,,,,, >>> hello and welcome back to mosaic. with me his father kevin kennedy. father kevin, you a

obviously the faith -- the catholic faith, my mom and day went to mass every day. my father and mother, whether they were traveling in america or around the world, i remember clearly when they check into hotels the first question they asked was always where is the local catholic church and what time is mass in the morning? so, that sense of catholicism was imbedded into me and all of my siblings as well. so i think that you can't for me separate our perspective, our views on the world, from catholicism. and the reason i wrote this book is five years ago, four and a half years ago when he pope game pope francis, i was in a little bit of a lull or a valley if you will around catholicism. there was so much going on with the preoccupation with the vatican banking scandal, cents about islam, the sexual abuse scandal, comments about women, comments about the clothes that pope benedict was wearing ask that sense of what ways going on in rome with the curia was so different from my experience growing up in the catholic church, and nuns and priest i had seen do great work,

, so practicing catholics voted less than ongoing church catholics. 20 percent of nonpracticing catholicscatholic church has not officially endorsed either candidate and certain parishes are taking it into their own hands to mobilize against the national front. this church in the heart of paris, the parish is endorsing emmanuel macron, even handing out a pamphlet warning against the national front. of christians, we are for openness. we are not racist. christ is for everyone. mustts of people say we fight the national front, but if we have to fight the national front, that means voting in inra on -- and macron -- macron. reporter: he has decided to mobilize his flock. >> it is not between choosing of one party and another. it is saving france, its liberty, its openness. that is what is at stake today. reporter: this year, the catholic church has decided not to endorse either candidate. 2000anged position from two, when le pen reached the second round of the second election against this opponent. now, many catholics are torn. >> i can do what i want to do it. >> the pope does not have to m

catholic. and senior vice president at the theological seminary here in new york. welcome to you both. thank you for being here. what were catholics hoping would come out of this meeting or even did the church have a particular aim in this meeting with president trump? >> well, i think catholics can feel very encouraged after today's meeting. the vatican statement said that the meeting was very cordial. you can see from the body language, if you're watching the footage, that the meeting was indeed very cordial. and the vatican statement said that they focused on areas of agreement, on areas like the sanctity of human life, the protection of religious liberty, and on the protection of persecuted christian communities. >> reverend, i want to ask you, the president tweeted after his meeting -- by the way, he's been pretty -- hasn't been tweeting a whole lot during this trip -- but tweeted, honor of a lifetime to meet his holiness pope francis. i leave the vatican more determined than ever to pursu

jfk is a catholic and no catholic has ever been elected president. >> there was a very strong anti-catholiceam fight back. it's bare-knuckle time as kennedy aide paul corbin comes out swinging. >> paul corbin was a political hack. he was also a dirty trickster. he would stop at nothing. corbin arranged to have a lot of anti-catholic literature shipped into wisconsin. so right away, a lot of voters are offended. and they think that the awful bigoted stuff was coming from hubert humphrey. >> corbin's dirty trick works. thousands of incensed catholics get up and vote for kennedy. >> we won. it was tough but we won. >> after victory in wisconsin and a landslide in west virginia, kennedy heads straight for the nomination. but the democratic bosses are out to get him. >> in my own mind -- >> the first knife in kennedy's back is plunged by former president harry truman. >> senator kennedy, are you certain that you're quite ready for the role of president in january 1961? >> do not think it was a forgone conclusion that kennedy would be the nominee after west virginia. he was the dark horse candida

especially for catholics. the other thing that fascinated me about the story just told was bozell's influence. explores the term but he was a fanatical catholic.[multiple speakers] >> so what was that, buckley was i would say, a mainstream catholic. bozell was a much more aggressive catholic. i believe he named his own magazine triumph. >> yes. he actually formed his own resistance to the movement. he had several relatives were arrested. >> have a lot stronger issues of racial justice than buckley and he is pushing buckley on this. >> he was pushing buckley. a lot of it was push. pressure from what was going on with the violence. and a lot of it was paul. a lot -- his mother throws her hands up. i've never had a question like this especially from someone like you. i'm going to have to pray on this. but i'm sure he spoke to other - it is beginning to not him. he's a very interesting character. he is a mainstream protestant. he is a liberal democrat, within 18 months. he was a catholic, a conservative republican

they were going to a catholic good going for a catholic boy school. st. john, and it is right next to eaton. so, he is told that previous headmaster writes a letter to the headmaster 0 eaton, challenging the eaton bows to a soccer match. and the head of eaton says, where is st. john? and the headmaster responds and says, what eaton used to be, trading ministers with the king. in other words, for the catholic king. for england before the reformation, and he develops this tremendous admiration and affection for british catholics. these are a persecuted minority that cannot vote for parliament until the 1850s, even beyond that. yet they are the descendents of the ancient kings of britain. he knew a good deal. so all the time they were kind of exiled to their own land, and -- but they had ten children that their own little plate sal system and reinforced each other built their own fortress against the world. >> host: we have a question over here. >> thank you. the book was fantastic. a lot of what you're talking about so far touches on the caricature of bill

world peace is at the heart of the catholic church is message. the united states efforts, guarantee and safeguard the piece. pope francis is giving us what we as christians always need is a reminder that we have to suppress violent instincts. >> julie: i know all we hear our camera clicks but maybe we can get some audio. [inaudible] >> thank you very much. >> leland: this is now the expanded meeting, we had the private meeting between the president and the pope, then we had the exchange of gifts and now we have the larger entourage. the president, the pope, the member of the president's traveling delegation. it's too bad that the audio was so low. they really pick up the sound coming from these at two men as they talk. the signal we are getting from vatican television doesn't give us enough to pick up. you can pick up a little body language, the president said beautiful a few times. >> julie: what are they being handed right here? >> i am trying to get a good look at it. usually in these circumstances they are giving it to the catholics. prayer b

and evangelicals became more catholic than the catholics on abortion. why? because it was a part of the -- what the understood is the whole is didn't operation of the family and disintegration of the family, and antiabortion sentiment is actually grown over the years. the younger generation today, the millenials generation, is very liberal on issues of hoax osexuality but it is absolutely firm on abortion. >> that issue isn't going away. >> it's not. >> partly what you're describing there is broadening of a permanent left-right split, tied to religion, so that it's not just protestant conservativism, it's catholic conservatism, muslim, jewish, whatever, and so politics has become regio-tribal and it's not changing. >> i think that's except the last election. there's what john green, a greet sociology yeas called the god gap, and the god gap was people who are very religious no matter what tradition they come from, at least christian traditions, are always more republican than the less church going, less pious in that tradition. so, it's pub perfectly true th

as i say for catholics all around the world.ses at the alter not far from where i'm standing and at the time of communion they send hundreds of priests out into the crowd so they can all participate. so, it's a regular mass, if we can say that in such a special place. hannah. >> quite a feat, though, for the security officials there in this, what is presumably quite a small town, though, to suddenly be inundated with thousands and thousands of pilgrims as you say from around the world. they'll all be hoping to receive communi communion, but also get in and around the town. >> well, that's right. of course, this is a town, remember, that has been famous for the last 100 years. so, actually, as we were coming in, i noticed that they're very well equipped. i mean, there are hotels all around, the roads are very well paved and easy to get in and out of. they are used to big crowds, actually. remember john paul ii was here and pope paul vi was here and they are used to some big crowds. a lot of people come out for francis today. but

and evangelicals became probably more catholic than the catholics on abortion. why? because it was a part of what the understood as the whole victorian patriarchal family. so there were social logical reasons as well as strictly theological reasons for opposing abortions. anti-abortion feminism actually rose over the years. the younger generation today, the millennial generation, is very liberal on issues of homosexuality, but it is absolutely firm on abortion. >> so that issue isn't going away. >> it's not. >> and partly what you're describing there is the broadening of a permanent left-right split type to religion, so that it's not just protestant conservatism is catholic conservatism, mormon, jewish, muslim, whatever. so our politics has become really geo- tribal and it isn't really changing. would you agree with that? >> i think that's to accept the last election. there is what john c green, the great sociologist, called the god gap and the god gap said people who are very religious no matter what tradition they come from, these christian traditions, are always m

catholics in their outreach, aid, enthusiasm.k there is a great appreciation from the vatican in general for american catholics and even american presidents despite policy differences they may have. i want to say in the initial images we saw i saw relaxed pope, more easy going and open smiling nature as we are reading the body language of this meeting. of course, the people who are traveling with president trump will have a chance, his family and u.s. delegation will have a chance to meet with pope francis. there is going to be differences. you are never going to see eye to eye. this is not just the catholic church. it is the vatican. they have their own country and own diplomacy around the world. they have a network established through that, in africa, asia, south america. they are a major player in politics as well as religion. we have seen that with pope francis. he is a spiritual leader but a political voice in today's world. that's really the significance of this meeting i think is for the pope to meet this other major polit

when catholics were still ethnic democrats by and large. o how on earth did he pull that off at his age. >> well to begin we, they were a disparate lot.e if you were around in 1948, what -- first of all, no movement. what was a conservative to begin with? well, probably the ideal of a conservative was robert taft, who was the senator from ohio. he was famous for isolationism between the wars. but he wasn't -- didn't quite fit the view of conservative asa we dough tined. he had some peculiarities. we consider conservatives small government, but he was one of the first senators to say there should be a federal housing because it's throughrst se neighborhoods and housing we transfer value to the nextxt generation and wanted a federal rural housing and a department of education on the grounds that if these segregationists aren't going to educate children, we'll do it. we have a role to do it. if they won't integrate we'llin educate them. that was very early, 1948. but he was called a conservative. he tried to be president for a time in various

this center spaes for catholics. they talk about him trying to have these touchstones with these three major religions in an attempt at unity from president trump. the symbolism very heavy. we move now into a new phase. after he finishes here in rome the president heads to brussels and sicily and then it becomes less about the symbolism and more about the policy, the discussions he'll be having at the summits with european leaders from the nato summit and then the g7, the economic summit. this is sort of the capstone to the first i think you could call it segment of the trip, the first partf therip iwhich this imagery and in which this symbolism was so important. >> all ght. nbc's hallie jackson for us there in vatican city. hallie, thank you. for your perspective. we might check with you a little bit later on. happening with us as we bring in nbc's anne thompson. very curious to see and hear your take as we look at the images from that meeting. especially with all your years covering the vatican and seeing various p

our catholic and jesuit tradition sustains us in this effort to seek the truth. it provides a framework, calling to engage deeply with the tensions and conflicts, the questions and challenges facing our communities and the spirit of solidarity. in december 2015 when we provisionally named these buildings freedom hall and remembrance hall, calling the recommendation of our working group on slavery, memory and reconciliation for a temporary set of names, while we engaged in further conversation as a community, i shared these words words. our lives are given shaped by our histories. by ideas of who we are and where we've come from. our communities are given shaped -- given shaped by our histories, by the values, traditions and memories that we inherit. history is alive for us at every moment. we are just one community, but right now, every community is being asked to look deep within themselves and to find the very best of which they are capable. as our nation's oldest catholic and jesuit university, we are a place that grew alongside our new republic. as we seek to

one of the reasons he won the 1972 election was a huge majority catholics were republicans. and what richard nixon figured out, i'm sorry what ronald reagan had figured out was that protestants basically divided their votes between republicans democrats including evangelicals, was that by bringing the moral majority take a strength in the republican party even further. and of course that happen. one of the reasons why reagan won by such a large majority 84 was because of his support from jerry falwell and others in the christian right. and that led to a dramatic change in the way in which supreme court justices were confirmed. so casey comes up in the early 1990s. 20 years roughly after roe. by this time republican presidents including reagan and bush had managed to make a majority of appointments to the supreme court and by this point i think seven of the nine justices were republican presidents. -- elected by republican presidents. -- constitutional and the fundamental question really being raised is whether roe should be overruled. reagan had certainly strongly taken that

celtic was founded 130 years ago as the team of glasgow's large irish catholic population. it still finds its most loyal support there. for decades, that community suffered systematic workplace discrimination in a scotland still shaped by its protestantism. it was like scotland's dirty little secret, that was never quite spoken about, but everybody knew that it was there. the 1967 european cup final coincided with a moment when scotland and this community's place in it began to change. this is a narrative throughout a whole generation of young celtic supporters who grew up and said those men there are symbols, you know, and we look up to them and say — we can be — and not certainly as football players — but we can emulate them in other ways and in other walks of life, and that's all what we all grew up wanting to do. commentator: inter milan kick off, and in a continental year heatwave. .. celtic went to lisbon to take on the mighty inter milan, the team carried the hopes of a community shaped by shared adversity. 50 years on, this place, celtic park, remains a focus of col

still to come, press and portugal as the pope children to the list of catholic saints.. that was the essence of the appalling news from rome this afternoon, that, as an italian television commentator put it, terrorism has come to the vatican. the man they called the butcher of lyon, klaus barbie, went on trial today in the french town where he was the gestapo chief in the second world war. winnie mandela never looked like a woman just sentenced to six years injail. the judge told mrs mandela there was no indication she felt even the slightest remorse. the chinese government has called for an all—out effort to help the victims of a powerful earthquake, the worst to hit the country for 30 years. the computer deep blue has tonight triumphed over the world chess champion, gary kasparov. it is the first time a machine has defeated a reigning world champion in a classical chess match. america's first legal same—sex marriages have been taking place in massachusetts. god bless america! this is bbc news. the latest headlines: the police agency europol has described the cyberatta

over the decades, fatima has become one of the world's most important catholic shrines.ou can do everything. this is an excellent opportunity to see him and to celebrate mass. 0n the eve of his trip, the pope described himself as a pilgrim of hope and peace. at the shrine he prayed with the faithful before the traditional candlelight procession. francis is the fourth pope to visit fatima, but the centenary and the canonisation of the two little shepherds give this year's celebrations a special significance for catholics in portugal and around the world. portugal has won the eurovision song contest for the first time. salvador sobral sang a ballad to beat 25 other countries to the prize in ukraine. in a moment we'll hear from our correspondent steve rosenberg in kiev — but first here's sarah corker on the night's memorable performances — and a warning, there are flashing images in her report. it is a tv spectacle as much as it is a music competition. the 62nd eurovision song contest had all the elaborate outfits... the energetic dancing and of course, plenty of glitter. #

anti-catholic sentiments were widespread in the political leadership. these sentiments were exacerbated by daniel o'connell's success in winning catholic emancipation, widespread protests in the 1830's, and the growing popularity of his movement for repeal of the act of union in the early 1840's. british perceptions of the irish as simultaneously violent, devious, lazy, ignorant, and almost subhuman were reflected in the increasingly influential popular media, as these images from punch magazine in the early 1840's indicate. the first one playing on mary shelley's story of frankenstein, we see an irish frankenstein threatening the social order. the second one, daniel o'connell as a huge potato. i guess it is something like you are what you eat. in essence, the poverty and squalor that characterized irish living conditions was more or less racialized and seeing as a natural consequence of irish national character. here is another one that indicates this kind of racial is asian -- racialization, this time with women. no significant legislation that would

that's the catholic cathedral in trenton and on the left st. michael's church and that is one of the oldest churches in trefnton and parts of the church, not parts of the church were here for the first and second battles. british had been housed in their and so -- and colonel was -- he was shot very close by here and so this is an incredibly, again, a very important site for the american revolution. >> next to furniture store, next to where people live. >> exactly. >> senior apartments over there, catholic cathedral is over there and state office buildings are just a block away, so smack here in the middle and people walking by don't have idea what an important site was for the future of our country and also served in 1780's as the nation's capital. this is call the corner historic, the gorgeous bank building but there was a large tavern here and this is where the congress met both during the revolution and after the revolution and trenton was very close to becoming our nation's capital capital but washington, d.c. won out in a very close vote.

it is part of the going back and catholic tradition to st. paul about women covering their heads and churches. that was the common practice up until 1965 that women would wear a head veil at mass. it's a sign of respect that custom continues, a sign of showing this religious leader that they are going to observe those customs. >> julie: it was interesting that they do not wear headscarves when they were in saudi arabia during that key saudi arabia speech. this was obviously preplanned, they were decisions made as to their attire. when they go on these trips, everybody is watching every single move. do you make anything of that? the fact that -- they are not the first, many politicians, many dignitaries, many first ladies have not worn headscarves as traditional in muslim countries. i just wanted your feedback on that. >> the headscarf in public is basically a statement regarding islamic views toward how women should present themselves in public and the christian understanding of that is complete different. we do not think that women are being

now if you're catholic, you'll probably know that i'm talking about medjugorje.elievers say the virgin mary appears there. but the vatican is not so sure. reporter: they come by the thousands from all over the world to gather here in medjugorje on what has come to be called the apparition mountain. they are waiting for mirjana, one of six so-called seers. she says a female figure, or gospa in serbo-croatian, appears to her -- the mother of god. and everyone is welcome to be there when it happens. mirjana says gospa speaks to her every time. as soon as mirjana's vision is over, she conveys the message she's been told. an interpreter then translates the message into several languages, and the divine news is sent out into the world. >> dear children, with motherly love, i'm coming to help you so that you can have always more love, and that means more faith. i'm coming to help you to live with love, the words of my son, so that the world could be different. reporter: the fabled visions of maria draw more than a million pilgrims to medjugorje every year. what was once
