well i guess catholicism imposes its kind of ism is maybe more acceptable and if i were you but that's just because there's more protestants and catholics in the united states i mean there's actually there is there are equally weird doctrines no they're not eat well i don't know one any religion i'm sorry islam that you know you get your own planet and you become a god i don't like islam you get your own planet islam is a neighbor i'm a religion based on the oldest of the afterlife in the thousand version but the opposite about in mormonism a bit you get your planet and you become a god equal to are and all mormons believe that they will get their planet if they follow the church first before anything else they will get well not god gorman's believe that you know not all catholics believe that the drinking age you don't learn a lot only that i have mormons believe that i wouldn't care i'm a former bishop daughter i trust me they believe in maybe. but pardon perhaps is the bishop there are secular mormons out there there are mormons who just kind of don't have a clue and they just go to

if you think of the origins of catholicism in america, catholicism is historically a region of imgramigrantsd. and now more and more with the influx of the latinos the catholic church is returning to the immigrant roots which is an important change. it is important to note that the catholics coming in from latin america, they are also socially also pro justice for the safety net which increases the cross pressure of the catholic electorate. >> i want to ask about the cross pressure, governor, because part of what your campaign is about is saying that the two parties whether you are catholic or not catholic simply don't capture how complicated americans are, so you and i are bad louisianians and not in louisiana on the primary election day, but what are the other options if we can't figure out what to do within the democratic or the republican par party? >> well, there's a bear in the room. there's a monster in the room. it is called corruption. i mean, social justice, look at this trayvon martin tragedy. social justice, economic justice -- that does not happen in a criminal court. that does

some elements of catholicism, but to show it -- particularly the devotion to mary the mother of jesus, is particularly strong. fidel castro's mother donated a gilt statue to the shrine of our lady of charity at the end of the war as thanks for protecting her son during the atheist revolution. >> thank you very much for joining us. >> alright. he has directed some of the most successful movies of all time, including "titanic" and "avatar." now he is the first person to dive solo to the deepest part of the ocean. >> he spent more than three hours down there. and of course, he caught it all on tape. >> all right, buddy. >> this was the most dangerous trip james cameron has ever made. he went to the deepest part on earth, the marianna trench in the pacific ocean. he is the first person to go that deep sense 1960 and the first person to make the journey alone. added that the over 10 kilometers, the biggest risk is the pressure of the water. cameron says the pressure caused the submarine to shrink by 3 centimeters. he thumbed his trip on -- he filmed his trip on a small camera. >> you go pa

the early fifth century, when saint patrick was named a bishop and started converting the irish, catholicisma culture and a way of life. but in recent years, the faith of the irish has been sorely tested-- not their faith in god, necessarily, but their faith in the church, after several damning investigations provided appalling detail on the sexual abuse of children by priests. for decades, the outrage was covered up and the priests were largely protected. an irishman named diarmuid martin would not disagree with any of this. he has dared to publicly criticize the church, and his words carry a lot of clout because diarmuid martin is the archbishop of dublin. you have said that the church in ireland has reached its breaking point. >> archbishop diarmuid martin: it has... it has reached a breaking point. it's at a very difficult stage. >> simon: to what extent, archbishop, do you think this crisis in the church is due to the sexual scandals? >> martin: oh, enormously. >> simon: there's overwhelming evidence that the church hierarchy was not only aware of the sexual abuse, but did little about

and in many of the spanish speaking where catholicism dominated, people would end up practicing the catholic religion but continuing to practice some of the traditional religions as well. in the united states, something new happened. black folk here simply appropriated the christian gospel. just took it away. had slave preachers who read the bible and found the passages in the bible that repute yated the teachings of the masters and their preachers. christianity was a liberating gospel. and on the basis of that liberating gospel in the woods and in the quarters began to fashion their unique form or brand of christianity. one that empowered them and forced the struggle rather than one that sought to keep them in bondage. so we have this new world religion created here. it's all a product of that new creation fashioned by these enslaved africans during the slavery experience. new world african people also created new foods, new literature, new music and new forms of dance. african cultural forms gave birth to jazz and blues in the united states. the tango in argentina, the somba in brazil, kac

catholicism said the nativists was a despotic faith, after all, it was organized hierarchically and catholics supposedly wanted to control public education and wasn't public education the bulwark of the republican system and not just the bulwark of the republican system, but also a way in which the evangelical protestant faith was passed on -- this may strike us as odd today but public schools in those days are often run by religious societies and there's bible reading in the schools and so on. so nativists are concerned about catholics infiltrating the democratic party. the democrats were viewed as the toad d toadies of the catholics and the know nothings saw themselves as a kind of people's party opposed to the corrupt traditional parties perverted by the catholic interests as they called it. the formal name of the party was the american party. and they were very successful especially at the state level in the mid-1850s, 1853, '45, 55, they were quite successful in -- well, in states like massachusetts. the know nothings won several key state elections because there was a general feeling am

catholicism said the native vice was a des spot particular faith. after all, it was organized hierarchically. it wasn't democratic like, say, the congregationalist church was in new england. you had to obey the people above you. and catholics supposedly wanted to control public education and wasn't public education the bull work of the republican system? not just the bull work of the republican system but also a way in which the evangelical protestant faith was passed on. it may strike us as odd today, but remember public schools in those days are often run by religious societies and there's bible reading in the schools and so on. so nativists are concerned about catholics infiltrating the democratic party. the democrats were viewed as the toties of the catholics. meanwhile, the know nothings saw themselves as the people's party as opposed to the corrupt political parties that had been perverted by the catholic interests as they called it. the formal name of the party was the american party, and they were very successful, especially at the state lev
