we also see the core of christian vocation which is christ.lives so we can protect others, so that we can protect creation. for the patient of being a protector however is not just something involving christians alone. it has a dimension which comes before. it is simply human. it involves everyone. it means protecting all creation, the beauty of the creator world as the book of genesis tells us in st. francis showed us, it means respecting each and every one of god's creatures, and the environment in which we live, it means protecting people, taking care of everyone with love, especially the children, the elderly. those who are fragile and who are always left in the periphery of our hearts. it means taking care of one another within our families as wives take care of each other and then as parents they take care of their children, and then over time the children themselves will take care of their parents. it means living friendship with sincerity since they are a way of protecting each other in trust, respect and goodness. in the end everythin

i grew up believing in jesus christ.o with the fact of my own faith and my own beliefs getting involved, it is like how can i do someone that i know so well? what should we do? should we go to the thing that people know about our just sharing your own experience? so i think i try to do it both, a little bit. >> reporter: in their years of successful work in hollywood, mark and roma say this project is one of the most powerful productions they have ever worked with. >> it is human, it is connective, it's beautiful. and through the whole thing there is this heartbeat of faith. it is a heartbeat of god's love. the project was made to glorify god. >> wendy: it looks great. the bible mini series airs sunday nights at 8 p.m. eastern on the history channel. it will run every sunday throughout march, with the finale arriving on easter, march 31st. and there is a special section on our website, and you can watch that by going to cbnnews.com.

he said he owed that victory to jesus christ.ent his mother return -- >> could these thorns have come from the crown of christ's head? did this nail hold him to the cross? is this piece of parch mrvet real lethe one claiming him the young of the jew? if they are real and were in fact brought here to holy land, they're among some of the most precious rel leks in the board "help pent to find that cross. so people would remember that god became human, died hue map death up this terrible especially opportunity of torture. >> it a good way to keep us from seeing constituent as abtrablgt and remembering it as real. ? these are trsht rerelate relics. some relics can be traced for authenticity. and many of the objects used by padre, one of the most recent saints can be found in sourp italy. burr when it comes to objects that are 2,000 dlarz a kprooer, what about the row map atmosphere. is that laftd or a piece of it tell arp? there eat quite a bet of mystery voechd thal one. at least four dech versions exist. >> relics incited quite of e

of her was born jesus who is called the christ.th of jesus christ came about when his mother mary was betrothed to jesus. before they lived together, she was found with child through the holy spirit. joseph, her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. such was his intention when behold, the angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream and said, joseph, son of david, do not be afraid to take mary, your wife, into your home. for it is through the holy spirit that this child has been conceived in her. she will bare a son and you are to name him jesus. because he will save his people from their sins. when joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home. the choir sings "praise to you, oh lord, praise to you." >> now we are waiting for the homily of the holy father. it is indeed a sermon, even at this inaugural mass, but listened to much more carefully. many more people will read it to set the tone for what he believes hi

christ's face seems burdened with the sins of all mankind as he climbs up from darkness to light.he fleeing devil of the harrowing has become a scorpion on a roman shield. then, finally, the drama of salvation is resolved as the ascending christ looks down in love and takes his leave of his apostles. looking over the rooftops and domes of the city, we can try to take an overview of that extraordinary period of artistic outpouring. it was a city whose population never reached 100,000, continually riven by faction and strife, and yet which produced some of the greatest figures in the history of western culture, from giotto and dante, to michelangelo and leonardo. it was a florentine, amerigo vespucci, with florentine maps and instruments, who named the continent discovered by columbus. the founder of modern science, galileo, worked in florence. it is the freshness of their thought, their modernity, which impresses us today. but there is another side to the story. civilized human life depends not only on modernity, but on a healthy assimilation of the past, both critical and imaginat

peter who took care of christ's flock.called, in addition to the pope, to do the same thing. as he said, we've entrusted with the care of god's gifts that have been given to us, that includes our own live, that clouds people closest to us, includes the poorest of the poor, includes our environment as well. god's plan for creation. we have to take care of that. it's all a gift from god that we've been entrusted with. and we have to be protectors as st. joseph was a protector of mary and jesus. >> in his words, the pope's words, and the way he greeted the cardinals in this whole day, you have to enjoy being a priest. >> he obviously enjoys being a priest. he loves it. it's his main vocation after he was a jesuit, he was order da d. he is comfortable among the pomp and among the poor. he's free enough to be at home at st. peter's basilica, but watch aids patients. i think it's interesting how he referred to himself as not supreme pontiff but bishop of rome. sending out the signal of brotherhood to other bishops in the united

mary magdalene was not christ's lover as the "da vinci code" says she was. her role as one of jesus' key disciples was virtually expunged from early christian history. without her, the courts of modern christianity, namely belief in the resurrection would be vastly different. that's the proposition of new mary magdalene biography and the author is with us. bruce chilton. >> dr. bruce, welcome. congratulations on your book mary magdalene, a biography. a great read. >> i appreciate that. >> interesting throughout. are there any misconceptions about mary magdalene that you care to debunk? >> i think perhaps the most prominent one is the claim that mary magdalene had earned her living as a prostitute before she encountered christ of. of all the women in history, mary magdalene must be the most unlucky. she was only assigned the job of being a prostitute more than 500 years after she had died. it is the result of a sermon that was preached by pope gregory the great in the year 594. he wanted to convince the people he was preaching to, his monks that they had to l

the mother of christ you have. ok sister go ahead sister in law there is a very good season as you say some but mary is mary's being put on a pedestal by the church and if she has she she has a great ministerial role and so do women she is one of the foremost people really who should speak for women as priests in the church but the problem is john you live again the old theology i don't mean he said it you just take a picture of all those men going in i mean i'm a bit older. but it's a male run church and it's not comfortable. and it's known there's a fourth line that runs right through it and there's nothing in scripture to say that christ or date any priests at all neither man all female you cannot go back to scripture and see a car i set up the church almost think you're trying to and you're making a joke really because it is so obvious absolutely i mean here is god there's a lot of them so for example if a sister at the larger story already going to do you know what i mean is going to actually i don't want to g

[applause] [audience chanting] we in our lives were loyal to him. all of us. all of the great men in venezuela. and we learned that because he taught this to us. we did not know that. many of us, from time we were children, we joined the revolutionary ranks and would go through different paths. some of you in the military, and here we have the generation, the generation of the children of the military. i ask that you please rise. here are your children, commander. here is the national olivary an army who are here with their swords, with their weapons, an army of peace, armed forces, freedom fighters. [applause] and from the time we were very young, from the age of 11 or 12, some of our homes, with our parents, we never in the path to redeeming our nation never did we ever know about our history. we never knew that if yo

the message of christ is so inspirational.look at the me len yal generation, one thing they say is they don't like discrimination. the message of jesus, their parents aren't taking them to church, they starving for something edifying. maybe they didn't know this was the message of christ. so this a great opportunity. >> eric: it's a great. the previous generations, a lot of them are young people. younger people almost 4 million younger people tuned in. and listen to romy. she sums this up nicely. >> it's just phenomenal. i think god is moving. i think that millions and millions of people are hungry for spiritual programming. it's engaged the country in a conversation which is great to talking about faith and talking about the bible. >> bob: this is another reason why there ought to be more of this on television. there are very few younger people in church. this is their medium and they see the story of jesus and they are curious about it. they don't want to be hauled off to church on sunday morning but to hear the message of c

. >> christ said francis, go and rebuild my church. i thought of that yesterday when they said his name is francis, he is here to renew the church. >> reporter: another thought about the message of the gospel. >> think about it, jesus walked among the people and came to die for all of us including everybody, rich to poor. all. >> pope francis wants to communicate and wants us to share with the news. >> reporter: vatican city, rome. >> joining us is dr. cornelius becker. a professor at regent university. dr. becker this is someone wout side europe for the first time. the church is growing the fastest, danger do you think that played a role? >> it was quite a surprise. one of the most important things to remember, they those somebody not living in the vatican. they chose an outsider. this is the opportunity to reenergize the faithful in europe and south america. >> reporter: as chris mitchell pointed out, they chose a man that has a simple life style. we asked luis palou for his impression? >> he is a great friend of the evangelicals. tr

vicar of christ. and the 266th successor of st.both are expected to have lunch on saturday. i'd love to be a fly on the wall. >> i think everybody would. >> aim sure there will be a photo-op. >> and the pallium that pope francis has is the same pallium that pope benedict wore. pope emeritus benedict is no longer entitled to wear that. it has been given over and now belongs to pope francis as one of the signs of his office. again, woven from sheep's wool so it actually has sheep on his shoulders. >> we have been watching here pope francis mass, the inauguration. there are a lot of heads of state present today. they're in the middle communion right now. we expect that to last another 15 minutes and then pope francis will meet with the heads of state. he will shake their hands, probably. we're going to take a quick break. when we come back, we're going to have this. live coverage will continue along with other top stories of the day. we'll be right back. bacon?! gotta get that bacon! yummy, crunchy, bacon bacon bacon there in that bag

joseph, the hope we bring is set against the horizon of god, which has opened up before us in christ. it is a hope built on the rock, which is god. to protect jesus and mary, to protect the whole of creation, to protect each person, especially the poorest, to protect ourselves, this is a service that the bishop of rome is called to carry out yet one to which all of us are called. so that the star of hope will shine brightly. let us protect with love all that god has given us. i employ the intersection of the virgin mary, st. josephs, st. peter and paul and francis, that the holy spirit may accompany my ministry and i ask all of you to pray for me, amen. >> and a very simple homily, in its simplicity, speaking of protection, repeatedly talking about the role of protection, speaking about hope. speaking about power as service. this pope has sent a very powerful message in his simplicity. one that lays the ground work for the kind of papacy he expects to have. the beauty of the created world, respecting god's creatures, protecting the environment, talking about the poor and the weak. sho

have to understand pretty high number the mother of christ who has an idea ok sister go ahead sister in law bear is a very good season as you say some but mary if mary's be put on a pedestal by the church and if she has she she has a great ministerial role and so do women she is one of the foremost people really who should speak for women as priests in the church but the problem is john you live again the old theology i don't mean he said it you just take a picture is all those men going in i mean i'm a bit older i don't. know but it's a male ranch it is not comfortable and it's known it is a fourth line that runs right through it and there's nothing in scripture to say that christ or date any priests. the mandal female you come up good but descriptive see. the good church almost think you're trying to and you're making a joke really because it's so obvious absolutely on your good little. sister the large story already know a little bit about what i mean specifically that you wanted to go there was an. excuse me. excuse me i go like i said i don't like to see for many years. for many

and the lost world, the people watching, can come to know christ. it is a great opportunity for the lord's name -- for jesus' name to be proclaimed. and for those who are hurting and looking for real answers, to find it. >> our prayers continue to go out to magma, her children, and saeed. you can add your name to a petition calling for saeed's release. find our link on the website, cbn.com. president obama took a strong stand in favor of israel during his visit to israel. he also expressed his support for a palestinian state. and many israelis don't think that is a good idea. chris mitchell has the story from jerusalem. >> reporter: president obama visited mt. hertzel cemetery to lay a wreath at the founder of modern zine nism. zionism. >> if they acquiesce to evil -- never again. >> reporter: but the centrepiece of president obama's visit is when he spoke directly to hundreds of university students and thousands of israelis here in jerusalem. he thrilled israelis, when he affirmed the country's right to existent. >> president obama: make no mistake

is it because they, some have expressed a closer commitment to christ and the teachings of christ. >> yes. >> rose: and not sort of trick stuff. >> no. yes, right. i mean, i'm not saying that's not the catholic church what could distinguish catholicism as a life of symbols. realty of the presence of christ through symbolic actions. these evangelical churches don't have that but they have it immediately experience on those who go there, they compare it to the radical boredom so many of the parishes. they are attracted. i mean, i remember i once went to a funeral down there and the person who had the funeral was protestant, that the mother was catholic. and she asked me to be there. and he delivered a fantastic sermon. the catholic priest came and it was awful. it was very, i mean what do you expect how sad it is he died and we'll take care of whatever he wants. completely hallmarkish. then came the minister and it was -- >> rose: body of christ. >> i almost join right then and there. >> could i ask the monsignor a question. >> rose: yes. >> one of the things that, one of the first thin

jesus christ. there variations on what happened after, but he was. >> it is the same reason peep are's -- people are celebrating pope francis because he tries to emulate what jesus did on earth. all you see on tv are the terrible messages and family break down and people's lives falling apart on tv. the message of christ is so inspirational. if you look at the millenial generation, they don't like discrimination. they embrace tolerance. so the message of jesus, it might not be one they heard. if their parents aren't taking them to church or the family has broken down, they are starving for something etifying and maybe they didn't know thehi messagesa and they haven't been taught it. this is a great opportunity. >> this is a great opportunity. you point that out that the generation -- the 10 million viewers each of the three prior episodes and will do multiples of that this weekend , butne a lot are young people. the younger people almost four million young people tuned in the last three episodes. p

christ sits stable and calm at the center of a storm.he disciples surround him as though rolled back by a burst of energy, each reacting in a different way to the accusation, "one of you shall betray me." the disciples are young and old. they give expression to their feelings, but they also express the idea of the first christian mass. a monk witnessed leonardo at work in the monastery of santa maria delle grazie in milan. "many a time i have seen leonardo "go early in the morning to work "on the platform before the last supper, "and there he would stay, never laying down a brush, "painting without eating or drinking. "then three or four days would pass "without his touching the work, "yet each day he would spend hours examining it and criticizing the figures to himself." there are very few works still existing which reveal whateonardo did to transform 15th-century painting, yet his influence on subsequent generations was enormous. one of his final paintings, the virgin and saint anne of 1507, reveals some of the qualities saanne holdsm

>> that jesus christ has risen. he's a live and he can come into your heart and he can forgive your sins. but you've got to be willing to invite him. there's no other way. you have to come to him by faith. the bible says by grace are you -- say through faith, it's not a work salvation. but it's through faith. simply believing god and accepting by faith that jesus christ is god's son who died through your sins. and if you're willing to believe that and accept it, god will forgive our sins. but he'll heal our hearts and that's what america needs today. we need to have our hearts feeled. >> franklin graham, happy easter to you. good to see you. >> good to see you, too.

that god vindicated christ after that horrible death he suffered.hought, the resurrection of the dead, the resurrection of christ and the final judgment is a sense in which hope happens, because everyone gets their day in court, as it were. >> so what if you're not christian? what if you don't celebrate easter? what is the takeaway that, you know, those should take from the holiday? >> well, easter really is a fundamental christian holiday. there's no christianity without easter sunday. but beyond that, we can say, regardless of religious practice, i think it has to do with new life, hope, but not, again, in denial of suffering and death. easter says that suffering and death are real. one doesn't go around them, one has to go through them, as it were. but one doesn't go through them alone. one doesn't go through them by pulling up one's bootstraps, but easter is about this unexpected miracle that can happen and god can perform when we least expect it, but really need it most. >> brent strong, very interesting as we begin our day, today easter. thank

i think christ is the center of the church. always has been. to have someone who lives certain aspects of the message of christ so powerfully will definitely call attention to the papacy. maybe among certain people who haven't paid attention in recent decades. but i think there is a lot of continuity in that focus on the person and the reality of jesus christ and the power, the transforming power of his message. >> indeed. elizabeth, what is it about pope francis in terms of his background and experience, that you think has prepared him for this sudden elevation to the papacy. >> i think first of all i'm sitting here thinking in a town where the extraordinary is kind of the ordinary, we've all been thrown for a little bit of a loop here. and it's very, very exciting. but i think already the fact that in this earlier conclave, the 2005 conclave that elected benedict xvi, there was already some thinking of cardinal bergoglio. s the already a sign to him that who knew he might come out of this situation -- might come out of this situation again po

but christ is the center, not his successor, peter. christ is the center. christ is the fundamental reference, the heart of the church. without him, peter and the church would not exist, and they would have no reason to be. benedict xvi, as oftentimes said, christ is present, and he is the one who guides his church. in everything that happens, the protagonist is ultimately the holy ghost. the holy ghost inspired the decision by benedict xvi for the good of the church. and he has guided in the prayer -- in their prayers, and in the election, the cardinals. it is important, my dear friends, to keep into account this interpretation to understand the events of these days. so i would like to first of all, to thank you sincerely, all of you, for the efforts of these past few days that were particularly engaging. to understand the true nature of church -- of the church. and also, what is the church's path in the world, with the virtues, and with the sins. and also, with all the spiritual values that guide the church, and that are the most important to understand,

the biggest sin you can commit is not to believe in jesus christ, according to jesus christ. that's the biggest sin you can commit. >> next speaker. >>> hi, my name is trevor johnson. i'd like to bring an issue to the attention of the supervisors. this affects all your districts. there is literally a scourge on the streets of san francisco right now, putting all our citizens and visitors alike in danger. there are two illicitly operating taxi companies operating under the guise of ride sharing smart phone apps that have collectively over 1,000 unlicensed and underinsured vehicles operating as taxicabs in the city. both of these companies prey on the under employed and fib experienced of the city putting them to work in under insured nonlicensed and under regulated vehicles for the purpose of in town point to point transportation for hire. thea companies also heavily promote heavily to their driver during busy time to tell them no special license or insurance is required and the transportation that they are providing is on a for-hire basis. this makes them taxi companies in pr

andit bride of christ. i never want people to take it that way and i never want to believe i talk badly about christ's wife. it will not go well for me . are you shocked by the reaction. 22 million views . my gosh, man . there are rock stars out there that would like to have 22 million people know whoo they are. jeff didn't always know jesus or talk about them and make them feel bad about what they said. i am going to ask him how he i am going to ask him how he founddddd i you're suffering from constipation, miralax or metamucil may take days to work. for faster relief, try dulcolac laxative tablets. dulcolac provides gentle relief overnight unlike miralax and metamucil that can take up to 3 days. this is me, too. act being like church kid and addicted to pornography. sunday going to church and saturday acted if i was created to have sex and get wasted. i spent my life of facade and neatness and now i know jesus, i boast in my weakness.

the second is bringing the message of christ, the fundamental basic message of christ to the post-christian west and to the rising nations of the south and of the east. those are two big huge jobs. it means stay home and clean house. but go outside and bring jesus. that's really hard. but i think that's what he has to do. >> schieffer: even in matters like this, we always look for the home town angle. ( laughter ) do you think there is any chance that an american could be named pope? because we've always been told, those of us who look at this from the outside there's no way they're going to pick somebody from a super power that politically that just didn't work. >> i think there's an infitesimal chance. i think no one in history has had as good a chance as cardinal dolan because he is such an outsized personality. they all know him and respect him. he has made such an impression from the very beginning when he receivedded his red hat just a year ago. and i think that's a factor that will enter into their decision making as well. they tend to go to a fescker faces, people-- fresher faces pe

i mean in the new testament we talk about being a slave to christ and it is not christ who lives in me with these concepts you don't have an identity you are the you know a small version of the hand of god extended everything that you do is is supposed to be christ unfortunately that also means all of the all of the other darker stuff that isn't touched on quite as much when i came through it as far as politics are concerned i realized. how backwards i had become and how i had been alienating other people from myself how i wasn't acting with real compassion because despite what was being said there was two things being said there was still the those guys are unbelievers or in other faiths those guys are the infidels or other faiths those are the gentiles in in the way that we were separated we ended up making that us versus them mentality and so. in many ways i minimized the or lessened the value of the people that were not in the know in the way that i was so when i stepped out of that i was honestly i was appalled and horrified at my own behavior and it took some time for me to re
