the jesuits were expelled. i think some of them remained, but they were really, you you y, suppressed, catholicism was pup accessed. and they came back in the 1840s. in the 1840s they rediscovered her, and they got some of the manuscripts about her out of the around kentuckys, and they rekindled this interest in her, and she started affecting more cures. now, the miracle that prompted her, prompted the pope to canonize her in 2005-2006 there was a young boy, native american in the state of washington, near seattle, and he was playing basketball, and he fell down and hit his lip on the pedestal of the basketball hoop. and he was afflicted with the flesh-eating bacteria. and if you go online, you can either google her name or his name. it's jake finkbonner. they have pictures of him when he was in the throes of this malady. so jake finkbonner had survived. his surgeons were absolutely miraculous in the way they were able to graft skin to cover what had been consumed by the bacteria, and they attributed his surviv

. >> "lily of the mohawks" was the name given to young woman who was baptized by the jesuits. she took the name catherine. she is called lily of the mohawks because she is seen as blooming in a land from the bloodshed of what preceded her, four in that land in the mohawk valley tenears before she was born so she is a lily that has bloomed out of that spiritual efforts by the jesuits' so she escaped and went up near montreal, st. francis xavier mission. she came to the attention of a priest who was sort of a spiritual refugee from france having his own spiritual dilemma. when he encountered her he saw this incredible spirit to well be that was sort of not expressed and he was able to draw it out of her and without her spirituality, heard the devotion to jesus rist helped him heal his own spiritual depth. together was a confluence of spiritual energy which i think it's a love story and the high refined level, a divine line that you or i wouldn't be able to appreciate. they had this union, i suppose, where they circled each other, he observed her and she observed him. when she di

o'malley, a jesuit.he said the emmer rick-brentano papers are perhaps best treated as devout fiction or well intentioned frauds. that's how her original writings evolved and were added to. so that has to be said in connection with this. >> that's right, he's drawing from all sorts of resources, he's drawing from med evil passion plays, i think he's drawing from the tradition of the horror movie, i think he's drawing from the action adventure movies, there's all sorts of sources that we see here. >> let me give you a real question here on what image may be emerging. some viewers have said that the brutalization of death and jesus leave, for revenge, could we say the new image of jesus as the savior, demands or at least inspires venn jennings, we feel victims of the terrorists of 9/11 and 311 and want revenge, we see jesus as another innocent and he's brute alized and have this feeling of revenge, is that at work here? >> i think absolutely. one part might have book is these track things in the united stat

the kingdom of the antichrist i think was a word that was often used to describe the fears of the jesuit education in the new world. so we were part of this deeply religiously-frack white house world, and our universities and our schools were seen as being a critical investment in that. it worked out for the best, of course. but its roots go back to the religious fractures of the early 17th century. >> so if boston's, if boston as a center of higher education continues to bear fruit for us, continues to reward us, does the mere presence -- ayaan that, let me ask you this question -- does the mere presence of tufts, bcbu and all the guarantee, do you think, that we stay that way in the future? >> there are certainly never any guarantees. i always believe that the best economic development strategy is to attract and train smart people and then more or less get out of their way. so that's basically what's the best thing we can do. it's still no guarantee, but we face significant challenges which is there's just an incredible river of talent that runs through our schools. it's hard convincin

. >> a former jesuit priest teaches to christians muslims and jews. >> joseph is written out of the storieso preserve his virginity, not only virgin conception of jesus but mary continued to be the virgin after the birth of jesus which means you can't have brothers and sisters. >> the gospels according to matthew and mark clearly mention jesus as having brothers and sisters. some church bodies it's not an issue. after the virgin birth mary and joseph had a conventional family. professor peters say roman catholic wrestles. >> that word brothers is problematic in the likelihood of dog ma driving interpretation again. they add the greek word which the primary meaning is brothers. anybody looking at that text can see are these not the brothers of jesus? >> the apocryphal gospels tried to clear up the mystery by presenting the brothers and sisters children of mary and joseph from a catholic marriage. >> it is the belief of the church mary remained a virgin after the birth of jesus. the doctrine of mary's perpetual virginity the brothers and sisters refer to do the gospel it is their cousins. >>

especially if you're a jesuit and a scientist like tom fitzpatrick. >> i don't know if we're ever going definitive answer that satisfies every question or every person on this. it's been a very important doctrine mystery for the church over 2,000 years. it's not the most important doctrine. >> just as fascinating as jesus' family tree is the debate over just what jesus looked like. this certainly isn't a matter of doctrine, but it has always been a source of intense speculation. a centuries-old guessing game that science tells us is way off the mark. >> i could never reconcile myself to him having long blond hair and blue eyes, because he comes from a part of the world where people are basically rather swarthy, with dark hair and dark eyes. >> so what then does science say is the true face of the son of god? ♪ >>> hello, i'm natalie warren with tonight's top news stories. officials in upstate new york are calling it a deadly ambush. four firefighters were shot while responding to an early morning blaze in the town of webster. two of the firefighters were killed. the other two are in int

born in rochester, he graduated from mcquade jesuit high school, he earned his undergraduate and law degrees from university of dayton in ohio, staying in the jesuit fold by attending that institution. he returned to rochester and immediately leapt into public service, working for five years in the monroe county's d.a.'s office and rising to become chief of the special investigations bureau. judge geraci contributed another four years of service to rochester as an assistant u.s. attorney in the western district. in 1988 he left and formed his own law firm. madam president, i was particularly impressed as i got to know judge geraci by the fact that while he was in private practice he served as an mediator and expert in alternative dispute resolution. as a senator from a state with the heaviest case loads in the country, an important part of managing a docket is getting parties to talk to each other before and imminent trial date. it is likely that few nominees know this better than judge geraci. over his dispute resolution, he's been a city in rochester, monroe county and on the bench

another jesuit stood up in the pulpit and raised the issue of suffering.hat we know what suffering is and we're surrounded by suffering. he said, don't try to define suffering or find out where it comes from. no one has ever been able to come up with with that answer. no one ever will, which gets to your point. >> that's right. i think that sometimes we find ourselves trying to grapple with things and come with answers to things that there's no answer to. we feel like something is wrong with us, when it's just part of life. there are things beyond our understanding. that's why st. paul, if i could be preacher-like, you have to find a peace beyond understanding. i think that's what really coming to it terms with whatever your beliefs are where you can come to piece with the fact that there are some things beyond you but you proceed in life anyway. i lost my mother this year in march, and i proceeded to go to florida and deal with the trayvon martin case the day i heard she had died because i had to find that there was this realm of peace that you can functi
