you had to be baptized by a catholic priest.that was the premise upon which catholics enslaved people. seriously. they had a baptismal font in the enslaved islands in the atlantic. a lot of these were cursory baptisms because they're enslaving hundreds of thousands of people, but as a result, the bureaucrat -- i mean -- bureaucracy is so important. the bureaucratic function of this had really interesting and different implications for people who were enslaved and were in catholic colonies versus those who were in protestant ones. because they were baptized, they were recognized as part of the catholic community even though they were enslaved. and so, you know, you never want to go down the road of, like, this slavery was better than that slavery, right? never. but it did -- for example, if you were married, and a slave owner wanted to sell your spouse, you could appeal to a priest. so you have these implications of the way that slavery and christianity functions that were very different in catholic colonies. that's why i call it

catholic marriage prep.com. and what it does is when you sign up for, you get with a couple and they try to match you up so if you're an older couple, they try to match you up with an older couple. you have a trained couple. >> you are matched with a married -- throh. li itause it's personalized and also because most of our programs are one or two days go through a day or two and really incorporate all of that into your life. where is if you do online, does the engaged couple, did they meet with the married couple personally? >> typically it's online. my friend does with his wife. they do the program live in their parish. they also do it online for other couples and other parishes. he says it works better online. >> it might well be, do they do skype or -- >> sky. because we are a digital culture. this can be done over a stretch. if i have a two day intensive in the church basement, i could get a false positive rating. we really prepare, we are know it what we doing. check the box. but if you have to carry it ou

organizations like catholics for choice the fact that 97 percent of catholics use birth control. a large number of catholics have. you know have abortions we certainly helped quite a few again we operate in the republic of ireland and more and all and i think again say you know the person who is pregnant passed you think about what is right for them and their family and then speak to a health care professional and where appropriate with their partner and their god but i don't think that the catholic church should be making legislation in democracies. ok thank you all for joining us on the program really appreciate your time paula but it's enim our clock on it tim and thank you very much. thank you. of mikey for joining us here on r.t. international back at the top of the hour. when i was sure seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days comes to educate and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

the catholic church was afraid the catholic babies will be adopted by problems the culprits of our souls will be lost to the catholic church. the true figure of traffic's babies may never be known. to this day hundreds of those children may have no idea they are adopted. sister hildegarde reportedly later admits is adoptions became shown role savvis grace's source of income. one of those babies was collene anderson although in her case kill the god of the past in the interest. my birth mom was 14 once and she was right so she was sent to sean ross abbey where she had me. sister hell the car was in charge of all the adoptions. and she sent me to her niece in the states. i didn't realize tell i got older that my adoptive mom was schizo franek. and there was a lot a lot of the physical and mental abuse so i ended up in hospital few times for with head injuries. her just pushed me against a wall or i come to school sometimes bleeding. but i survived the hand i wanted to be the opposite of how my up to mom was i never married never had kids i was always afraid that i would be like her. those

second was the faithful witness my catholic wife and catholic children lay down before my eyes, whichmany catholic christians in the pro-life movement. i wanted what they have. tracy: i love that. tell me more about your reasons for conversion. >> i have been blessed all my life to live in a wonderful christian home. my dad was a presbyterian pastor. i was involved in a bible church. but then i met a beautiful girl --isn't this how stories usually go? my wife of 25 years. margaret. margaret was a catholic and living margaret live out this dynamic catholic faith was profound, and even as our children were baptized and raised in the church -- my daughter is in office with the national dominicans, and my son loves the lord and is with campus missionaries. the movement is largely led by those catholic christian faiths, and as i worked alongside them and i saw the depth of conviction they had, their faithfulness, but also for 2000 years, the churches never wavered in the teaching about the sanctity of human life. it is built on the bedrock principle of the dignity of the human person and i

saying the blast was caused by a gas leak but that has not yet been confirmed by any officials the catholic archdiocese of madrid has said it owns the building which reportedly contains a care home for the elderly and it's next to the a part of the toledo metro station now what we're seeing on social media is a lot of videos being posted where you can see smoke coming out. out of the building as you're seeing right now on the screen as well this likely happened right after the explosion and then there's debris going all the way down the street quite far away people on social media requires reporting having heard an extremely loud explosion which is what most people just continue to repeat again we do not have any confirmation but there are local sources saying that it might have been a gas leak involved here at the beginning it wasn't clear who owned this building but as we mentioned the catholic archdiocese says that they did own it and it pulled out there was a nursing home. we can actually show you live pictures right now from the area as you can see there are still emergency services ev

a catholic pastor speaks out about trump. some parishioners walk out.ing on trump. executive director of vote common good and pastor of solomon's porch in minneapolis. i have to ask you the question that has been debated so many times over this. why were evangelical christians so loyal to president trump? >> this is a question that many of us have been asking for so long. some of it is policy, sure. over 40 years the republican party has promised policy changes to religious voters that they have liked. i think with donald trump it was more than just policy. i think donald trump said to evangelical and white catholic voters especially, i get you. i understand you. i like you. and while many of us think that that's not always that important, to a lot of people the feeling that a president would recognize you and know who you are and see who you are really made a big difference. frankly, oftentimes democrats send a message to religious voters that, well, we might want your vote, but we don't really care for the way that you think about politics. so i think

the kids are safe, which they normally are in catholic schools. minimize face-to-face contact, children wear masks and sanitized like crazy. what we find in massachusetts, is probably true around the country, the cdc has caught up with the evidence, in the immunity where people are not following the rules very well, many flat out ignoring them. you have high levels of transmission within schools. even without the nuns we used to have, kids follow instructions. kids are in a supervised setting, following protocols in all cases we get our what we call outside cases. we have very few cases. right now, three cases out of 35500 kids and adults in our schools that are in school transmission cases all because somebody was not detected quick enough but virtually all cases are coming from outside. my conclusion from having done this since september, some schools opened in august, the safest place for a child is in catholic school or any school following health protocols. it's not in the broader community. the rates are dramatically higher. for us to have t

catholics and acceptable to favor abortion.vil. she said it's their point of view. what is this point of view? we hear a lot of emphasis about following the science, so look at the science. what happens in an abortion. dismembered babies in their mother's wombs. i don't know what could be more evil than that. maybe something that comes close is how these women are often abandoned and don't really have any choice. if women have real choice, the abortion rate would go way down. misleading catholics into thinking they could favor something that so evil as abortion. and still be good catholics, that simply not true. >> shannon: i want to read something from an investigative journalist who said "pro-choice catholics take communion every day and never feel it's a moral quandary because it isn't. biden does not personally support abortion. he supports it politically." what do you make a faith leader about that distinction between the personal and professional and do you feel pressure to stay away from these political issues especially

women have real choice, the abortion rate would go way down so there is this misleading catholics intoing they could favor something so evil as abortion, simply not true. shannon: i want to read victoria brown's words, pro-choice catholics take communion every day and never feel a moral quandary because it isn't. biden does not personally support abortion, he supports it politically. what do you make of that distinction between the personal and the professional and you feel pressure to stay away from these political issues, especially with well-known prominent catholics like the new president who has made it important part of his life to talk about his faith? >> that is an old false dichotomy. of something is evil it is evil. if you believe it is evil how can you support it publicly if you know it is evil? it is a false dichotomy. we are talking things that are not religion specific denominational specific, these are not doctrines we received from the bible, these are things in the natural order, we just know that killing is wrong, you don't need face to know that. killing is wrong, st

where is the broad voice of so many evangelicals, catholics? i mean, where is the catholic church?teaching of the catholic church. and all we hear is silence. >> well, lou, you know, you can -- we hear talks about unity. look, i'm all for unity, but you can tie e the tails of the dog and the cat together. they might be united, but they're not unified. and you're never going to have republicans and democrats, conservatives and liberals united when they have completely different visions for america. the bible says how can two walk together lest they be agreed. i don't pretend, i don't think weaver going to have unity. we're going to have unity. i think the best we can hope for is civility, but we're not getting much of that from the democrats right now. lou: nor, in my opinion, are we likely to. and they -- we all know when president biden talks about unity, what he's really talking about is muting republicans and conservatives. even rinos who want to be liked by the, by the good president. the left now is blaming christian schoolers, home schoolers for the capitol hill riot. i mean,

he said he's a catholic, but he is pro-abortion.ry, press secretary, saying she couldn't give an answer on whether he still supports the hyde amendment, which prevents taxpayer money being used for abortion. if you go back to the amy coney barrett supreme court nomination hearing, you had a number of democrats in the left in the media saying she was part of a cult because she was part of the catholic group that she was part of in college, and during her time as a law school professor. and also during her confirmation hearing is a federal judge, you had dianne feinstein saying the dogma lives loudly within her, and that's going to be a problem and why she was going to vote against her confirmation. the left is happy to his religion when it serves political purpose, as a convenience, and happy to use it as a weapon against anybody they disagree with politically, especially on the issue of abortion when it comes to faith. >> kennedy: hypocritical hogwash, i say! thank you, katie. san francisco has one of the west thomas problems in the

ireland in the 1950s was a deeply conservative catholic society.ligious institutions and separated from their children. the fathers got away with it. it was always the woman that was to blame, it was always the woman's fault. and i suppose, then, when you look at other people, i was lucky, i got to meet my mother. if i didn't meet her, i would be blaming herfor leaving me in there. there is another reason why pj thinks he's lucky. at the tuam home, nearly 800 children aged up to three died between 1925 and 1961. investigators believe many were buried at the site in some kind of sewage system. when i go down there and stand there, to think that i could be in there too, that a religious country that we're supposed to be would do the likes of that to a helpless little baby. the irish government has committed to having this site excavated, so the children whose remains are beneath this ground can be reburied with some dignity. tuam is the mother and baby home that has generated the most international attention, but there are many other institutions in

according to the national catholic educational association closures of catholic schools are up 50% inthat more evident than in los angeles. three catholic schools have closed and enrollment is down 10% and in fact a lot of them are using the ones remain gofundme campaigns to try to get back on track. that's not the only threat to catholic schools. an organization called secular democrats of america is calling for president-elect biden to completely disassociate from organized religion. you can see on the screen some of those things they are calling for. they want to expunge religion from all american public life and in short, some catholic schools are doing very well but the one right behind me maria regina is doing well and they've seen an increase in in romans right here in new york. back to you. stuart: but they are under attack. joy, thank you. the teachers union in newark new jersey wants all students to get covid tested before coming to school later this month. naomi schaefer riley is with us and writes frequently on education. naomi, it sounds like that would be a disaster, you

boston, his people the irish catholics and italian catholics of boston turned on ted kennedy. they turned on him because they thought he had no sympathy for their situation and ted was caught betwixt and between which was kind of the conundrum of liberalism at that time. ted couldn't turn his back on integration. he wouldn't do that, he couldn't do that but he also didn't want to turn his back on the working class irish and italians of boston who resented here was ted kennedy between these two forces. he opted for integration but in doing so, he lost the allegiance of the irish and italian catholics and lost it to the point, this book ends literally with ted kennedy running for his life. that's not an exaggeration. running for his life from a mom of largely irish catholics who want to kill him. who wants him killed. that's the end of the liberal our. >> was a nice dramatic weight and. and that's a nice dramatic way to end this discussion as well . it's fascinating that i have to ask, what did he win by in his next election, this next elections for senator was two years later a

joe biden, a faithful catholic, a devout catholic, and not afraid to show it. >> well, george, without of joe biden's many favorite scriptures is, for we walk by faith, not by sight. that's the way he's lived his life, through tragedy, through triumphs, the day-to-day grind of life. there's a sweet story that joe biden tells about, there's this quote taped to the bathroom mirror that says, faith sees best in the dark, and biden and harris, in aark time in amics story,dehie >> and that is what he is hoping for. the message he is going to be sending consistently throughout this day right now. robin roberts, we see kamala harris next to him there in the front row, pews of st. matthew. history being made in so many ways. >> so many ways and a short distance from where they are right now, howard university, her alma mater, kamala harris. last month i had an opportunity to speak with her there on campus, and she was running around to her old classrooms talking with people, and you could just tell that was her home. remember, george, she announced her candidacy for running for president here

catholic president in american history.embers of his family going up into the cathedral. and st. matthew's cathedral is one of the most remarkable buildings, if you've ever been inside. just a gorgeous, gorgeous cathedral. and it is the home of so many historical moments in presidential history, in american history. not the least of which the funeral mass for president john f. kennedy was there on november 25th, 1963. >> it's not surprising watching joe biden in the public eye this past year. you see him attending church at major moments of inflection for him. going to mass very frequently during the campaign. on big days. and so this is no different from that. but it is, as you noted, part of a long tradition of presidents attending church services on the morning of their inauguration. and again, this morning, who he is attending with is particularly important for this country, for washington, d.c., just two weeks to the day after capitol hill was attacked and those same members of congress that we'll see today were inside

i'm a catholic. hitler says.he makes no mistake saying he's an antisemite, he makes that very clear. and marxist. but he is uniting the far-right, where ludendorff is dividing it. one person looked at ludendorff and saying if you look at the far-right, you can see one part is the racist, they actually use niceta, and several other thinkers. anti jewish, and some anti catholic anti-christian. then you have this other side of the far-right. hitler is bringing them, he's trying to unite them whereas ludendorff?óz.á is appealing toa small part of the far-right. he is kind of, you could watch him go down as hitler is going up up during the trial. >> some historians say that the japanese political assassination by the military and their exoneration at their trial, started the second world war. did you see any parallels between those trials and japan and this trial? >> i would hesitate to speak about that. i don't know a lot about the japanese trial. i've read some on the nuremburg, we are looking at some trials. i don'

dwight eisenhower had nominated a day a catholic in -- some mixing gets on the phone to sort of press the justice department here is john mitchell, attorney general to see if there is an alternative to rank with, someone who might be very conservative but might satisfy ethnic political design. >> now the other thing, can i heard you [inaudible] oh cry snow, that's what i mean. >> [inaudible] >> [inaudible] you [inaudible] politically i got a lot more than a catholic. the protestants, if he's a conservative a catholic conservative is better than a protestant conservative. the point is it all mean more to he concludes there is no acceptable conservative catholics to nominate. and so rehnquist elected. rehnquist most closely fulfills is requirements, a good catholic, is very smart, he worked for very goldwater, he will remain on the court or the bush two years. he will eventually be elevated to chief justice by reagan. we will encounter him later -- over and over again over the course of the semester. what we essentially have is a transformation of the court from a very liberal court to

and for me as a black catholic, i was overjoyed. church is saying that people like me exist, that we matter. >> the hope is real. >> it is real. our faith calls us to recognize the humanity of everyone, no matter their race, no matter their sexuality. all are human beings and are equally loved by god. >> if you were to make any resolution, it would be to cultivate the relationship with god, your sacred, your higher power. we've learned from this past year that we all need something that's bigger and deeper than we are to carry us through times of difficulty and pain. and one of the ways in which we do that is by slowing down, even taking 5 minutes of the day to just sit and be still, to realize that my life is a gift. i don't see how that cannot give us the energy to cope with whatever 2021 throws at us. >> happy new year. i think regardless of what your faith is, i want to share this. >> preach show. okay. go ahead, go ahead. >> the concept is patience. it's not about just being patient. it's about what you do while you're waiting
