nevertheless, relations between judaism, islam, and christianity remain strained. there have been raise of hope and moments of reconciliation. in our next report, we look at relations during the popsy of pope benedict -- papacy of benedict xvi. >> his speech was meant to be clear signal of improved relations. >> shalom. i would like to take this opportunity to assure you that i intend to continue with all my strength toward improved relations with the jewish people. that is the path on which john paul ii took great steps. >> years later, he visited auschwitz. but this was just one side of a tricky balancing act. his actions within the church causing doubts about his commitment to the friendship. in 2007, benedict revived the mass that satisfied a conservative catholics, but it includes the good friday prayer for jews asking that they recognize jesus sows their savior. he sparked controversy again when he lifted the excommunication of the ultra- conservative bishop, an advocate for denying the holocaust. he immediately sought to contain the damage. he called holocau

>> traditional christianity, islam and judaism espoused the idea of a final judgment, that is true. >> and you believe that as part of your crede. >> i think i'm going to die and stand before god and have to give him a personal account. >> that's the particular judgment, what about the final judgment when we're all gathered together in a giant plane? >> i don't know about the plane thing but i think that's going to happen. >> you do. >> yeah. >> you think it's literally going to happen with the resurrection of the body. >> the whole thing there the whole thing. >> the whole thing. >> you don't put any limits on it, any symbolic reading into it to dilute it of its literacy. >> rich symbolism, i wouldn't deny that. but i'm not sure what interest i would have in saying it doesn't mean what it says, i think it does mr. do you have a particular judgment and if you stand before someone whom will that be. >> i believe under their judgment all human beings, creation will stand before god for judgment, for that which they did or said or how they acted in life. >> who is god? >> god is the almi

some form of religious services, rimonim has a housing unit devoted to the study and practice of judaism>> translator: the religious wing is intended to provide an option for religious prisoners who request to, a, live a religious life on a high level, and b, to offer an inmate to sit and study and develop on a spiritual level in order to offer him the tools of rehabilitation, not only during his imprisonment, but also after his imprisonment. >> inmates must apply to live in the wing and go through a probationary period to weed out those whose motivations are not religious. >> translator: the religious wing is a kind of sanctuary for a lot of the prisoners who do not get along with the regular inmates. all of a sudden they want the religious inmates because they are more easy going. there are inmates who only want to come to the wing because it is a good place and it is quiet. we only give this chance to those who deserve it. >> one of the inmates who has been accepted into the religious wing. >> translator: once i had no idea about god and wasn't willing to hear such a thing that there

i'll give you 5% of my judaism. >> john: i'm catholic, i promise i'll feel guilty about it.ask an atheist who looks like jesus. >> i like governor hickenlooper fracking water. >> you know it's not flammable. >> john: i one time gave up blind allegiance to men who wear funny hats and i found it hard to go back. every year catholics follow lent and the hand stamp that gets you behind the pope's velvet rope. it's lent leading up to easter. it lasts 40 days to mirror the 40 days jesus fasted and was approached by jesus. for me, ash wednesday is a reminder of repentance when i went to mass with my mom. during lent the faithful give up something that is important to them. deeply meaningful things like facebook. up until this week nobody ever gave up being pope for lent. but like my dad who told my mom before they got married, there is a first time for everything. the pope kept in place the celibacy for priests. before

and so we begin to see, in different cultures, hinduism develop, judaism, buddhism, christianity, daoism, alternative religions - in other words, when we take our textbook that we're using in here, if you pick up any textbook on world religions, in one sense, we're being purposely simple; in one sense, what you're seeing, as you move through these great traditions we've listed here, you're seeing a set of answers to profound life questions that meet psychological, emotional, spiritual, and even physical needs, as you come smack up against rites of passage. and it's not the - i mean, you can get much more complex than that, and i'm working off you here, but as i've thought though it over the years and bounced off this, it seems that that's what you're getting. now, just to move to the next set of graphics and one after that, i'm using the term drawn from religious studies - if i had to do it otherwise, i might have changed it, because it has funny connotations - but i would say that our great world traditions are ordinary religion or ordinary spirituality. not ordinary as commonplace or n

christianity - in this case, christianity, the coptic orthodox phase - typical, at some senses, in judaism, where you're here and you're so l

and your very astute observation, we have certain doctrinal slants, particularly in judaism, islam, christianitybut on the other religions, too, that hold the male up as the only authentic figure in which one can develop a sense of self-esteem and empowerment, and that indeed has caused damage, has hurt women. so these are the kinds of things we have to think about - good point. sure? >> for myself, i'm just looking this over and i see all of my own inner conflict in all of the categories. i'm a catholic. i believe in the myth; i appreciate the ritual. then i get over to doctrinal and ethical and i think, "hmm," this is where i have the problem. i cannot take everything the pope hands down - the doctrine, the ethics - i cannot behave - in an opposite way, the way she mentioned, i cannot behave the way my religion tells me to. if i wanted to get a divorce - well, i could go on down the line of all the things that are handed down. i've often thought, "gee, i wish there was an american catholic church, that would take on..." we could go on forever. but i'm just saying, i'm seeing all of my own conf

it basically was about hasidic judaism, but it could have been an example of any fundamentalist root that is quite exclusionary if you don't strictly adhere to its rules, and it can be quite cruel in many aspects. it can also have a tremendous sense of community. and the movie happened to be an extremely discussionable type of thing at all levels. >> and you see, look at it in movies. don't just think religion is about the major world traditions that we'll look at. try to see these things in the world around you in songs and movies as an ongoing assignment, because we want to make the case, especially as we move into the religious process, that indeed, this course is about religion, but the power of religion - and we talked about that last time - the power comes from the fact that at the very heart of religious activities, there are some basic fundamental activities that we all do, and i was just struck home with this identity and relationship. i mean, i was at this wedding and i'm supposed to be sitting there being semi-reverent and enjoying it, and i'm thinking, "oh! identity! rela

what is judaism? good. religions for $800. kelton. what is evangelicalism? little more specific.ism? no. joe or tori? joe. who are jehovah's witnesses? no. tori's not gonna ring in be a this?

, especially as we go through the course, because, it's obvious when you speak of christianity or judaism or islam that you have all the elements of religion. and of course, when you speak of mahayana buddhism or tibetan buddhism, you also see all the elements. but the essential buddhist insight - now 2,500 years old - just cuts to the very core of human experience. and here we have a person in our time saying that to walk in the woods, in a mindful manner, to pay complete attention to what's in the present, is something that would bring you great peace. she's not talking about even chanting or singing hymns or doing something like that - she's simply talking about paying attention. and could it be so simple, in our frenetic, crazy, discordant world? could it simply be that all we had to do was pay attention to where we are right in front of us now, and that's the secret? we don't need religion, we don't need all this - we just have to pay attention? well, what a remarkable thing. and in some senses, i think that's where the buddha's heading. of course, buddhism, as i mentioned, we'll get

, if you're interested in it, or to islam, or to hinduism and we will ask those great traditions, judaism, to help us understand the six dimensions of religion, which we'll go over in the next class. so, in a nutshell as we roll down to the end of this first class, i'd again like to say welcome all, i'm glad you're here with us, and we'll be pursuing worldview analysis skills and pursuing our quest to understand religious diversity as we move to the semester.

there were no female rabbis in 2000 years of rabbinic judaism until the civil rights movement got people to struggle over what equal souls and citizens meant. now we take it for granted. what i'm saying is that race if we properly understand it through these series of 50-year anniversarys is the doorway that can help people achieve freedom and strength for lots of people. the immigration reform act for disability, for gay people just as the president said they're referencing seneca fall which is is about women's rights and stonewall. >> rose: what was it king said? his quote about bending the thing of justice? >> the arc of the universe is long but it bends towards justice the arc of the moral universe is long but bends towards justice. it was a quote from theodore parker who was an abolitionist. >> rose: what was the most remarkable thing about dr. king? >> if you look at hit him as an orator, he never got confused about being a prophet and a politician. he was a prophet with a political ear and a good sense of timing. he spoke about religion and race everyday church and state but remar
