later in the light in their home in nazareth in the workshop where he taught his trade to jesus.otector of mary protector of the church by being constantly attentive to god, open to the signs and receptive to god's plans not just to his own. this is what god asks of david as we heard in the first reading god does not want built by land but he wants faithfulness to his world, to his plan. it is god himself who heals the house from living stone sealed by this. joseph is a protector because he is able to hear god's voice. and is guided by god's will and for this reason he's all the more sensitive to the people entrusted by faith he can look at things realistically and he's in touch with his surroundings. him, dear friends, we learn how to respond to god's call ready and willingly. we also see the core of christian vocation which is christ. let us protect christ in our 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 does because he was brought up in the village called nazareth, a peasant town. >> did she seek him out? >> she in my opinion must have sought him out owing to his reputation as an exer cyst. >> he was about 12 years old and she was 20 years of age. >> yes. >> are you joined with other biblical scholars in the view that jesus ministry began much earlier than 30 years of age. >>. as early as 18 years of age. >> i'm joined with a number of scholars which i'm happy to say a growing number of scholars. i wouldn't claim at the moment this is a majority opinion. it has been acknowledged for a number of years that the gospels do compress the action associated with christ, so much so that sometimes it becomes implausible. therefore, i have been engaged in understanding what more plausibly the development of jesus' life would have been, starting with a baptist. on the basis of the work of the jewish historian josephus, i believe that can be placed in the year 21. that is the reason for which i allow a longer period for jesus' development as a teacher and for his interaction with other fo

is a snapshot taken by our fantastic photographer dick byrd when we were over in the area around nazareth. and in this case, this is more like what we mean by the presentational symbol, because in the eastern orthodox faith, this is not just a picture of a great saint - and i should know which one this is, but i don't; nevertheless, this is a great saint in the church - and the believer, it's more like a window into heaven. looking upon this, this participation of this picture in the experience of the person doing it. so we get that in the world of religion - icons are very important in this way. the sacraments are symbolic kinds of activity. the bread and the wine - now they tell me - i got a d- in theology, as you probably well know by now - but they tell me that in the catholic faith, the taking of the bread and wine is a presentational symbolic activity. also in eastern orthodox, because it's really real - there's a transformative thing that happens to these ordinary substances, bread and wine, and they actually become the body and blood of christ, whereas in most protestant faiths, i

jesus of nazareth and did ministry and was crucified. most people accept it. but his message which is so enduring has never been able to be knocked down. it has been kept away from people. >> 73% of america believe in this, believe in at least what you say, bob. that there was a jesus chias. 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 ge

born in bethlehem, and christians and muslims are not allowed to, you know go to jerusalem or visit nazarethfrom. he would be pretty pissed off about the wall and the religious bigotry. >> john: i agree. dean obeidallah? >> i think it's clear he would be most angry at time warner for dropping current tv, and even though he's a good guy, he would spite something using old testament. >> john: oh my the hope the new owners heard that. that brings me to tonight's f-bomb. it's a special easter-time bundle of good news for right-wing christian homophobes. those hopeless romantics whose faith hinges on the belief that jesus hates the same people they do. rob ingersoll got engaged to his partner of nine years. and he would often send flowers from arlene's flowers where the owner has happily handled all of his gay moves. until now. then said i'm sorry i can't do your wedding because of my relationship with jesus christ.

downie, i'm writing a book called "killing jesus," about why jesus of nazareth was executed.iously the gospels that discuss this are -- were involved with that there are some contradictions among matthew, mark, luke and john and then it's my job and martin dugard my co-author to cut through the and try to give a narrative of what happened to jesus because he was executed. when you were producing the bible. there are some things in the bible that are or obviously allegorical as i mentioned. did you take that into account? we tried to we worked from the position that the bible was a true story. we haven't taken the position on that except to bring the story to life meaningfully. we have found the passion of jesus. we have taken it right through resurrection, the conversion of paul and through to revelation and that episode will be on easter sunday evening. and the 10 hours were shot entirely on location in morocco. we were over there from february until june of last year. and it has been an extraordinary journey to bring these stories to the screen. >> bill: yeah. it really is.

so the whole story of jesus is that god incarnated god self in the person jesus of nazareth to rescue us from the fall. well, if there has never been a perfect creation, there can never be a fall because you can't fall from that which is not yet perfect. you don't need to be rescued so the whole way we tell the christ story is confusing and backward to modern men and women and i think we've got to learn to sing the lord's song as the psalms say in a new world it can be done but not in you don't open up the symbols of your faith. >> john: bishop, i read your books. i've been most drawn to the fact you're someone who speaks of biblical lit rim of. as i travel the churches in this country and i see lots of seniors who can't understand that priest from africa or india, i know the church needs someone like you to bring them into the 21st century. i hope you'll come back on "viewpoint." >> any time. >> john: i would like to say it will be a progressive guy. >> they don't have one in the college of cardinals. there is not one like that in the college of cardinals. they're not going to elect

the s&p and the nazareth not doing as well. i have got to tell you you can continue to celebrate because all they of these indexes have posted gains this year alone of 7% to 10% which is very big for small investors. shep, we are going to get one very big number this week that investors are going to eyeball closely. that's retail sales for the month. we are interested in how those retail sales performed as a measure of how the payroll tax is hitting americans. we will have an eye on that tomorrow, wednesday. i'm sure you will, too. shep? >> we'll look for that thank you, ma'am. just about every golfer likely dreams of hitting a hole in one some day. not like this. the sink hole that swallowed a golfer right in the middle of the fair wii wii -- fairway next. a verdict of a police officer accused of plotting to kidnap, cook, and consume women. the case of the cannibal cop. the defense argued it was just a sick fantasy. so can you now go to jail for your thoughts? that's ahead from the journalists of fox news on this tuesday fox r

a very different scene in jerusalem as thousands of christians followed in the steps of jesus of nazarethristian pilgrims filled the cobblestone alleyways of jerusalem's old city, celebrating good friday, the most solemn day in the christian calendar. as they walked they read aloud passages from the bible telling the story of jesus's crucifix. >> it is amazing to see where jesus has been and everything so it is really beautiful. >> reporter: security was tight around the villa dolorosa where christians believe he walked. there are is stations which in the latin mines the way of sorrow. begins with jesus receiving his cross and ends with his death and resurrection. this easter takes on special meaning for more than one billion roman catholics who recently elected the new pope, francis the first. he has stressed humility and service to the unfortunate. >> what is different about the pope this time he is really involved with poor people and charity work and everything and that will be really important to the work of the catholic church. >> reporter: following the example of jesus in "the las

and then, in the daily life, in the house of nazareth.e workshop, where he taught his trade to jesus. how does joseph live his vocation as protector of mary and the church? and the constant attention to god, open to its signs, available to his plan. not so much to his own. and this is what god asked to david, as we heard in the first reading. god does not desire a house constructed by man. but he desires faithfulness to his word, to his plan. and it is god himself who constructs the house but with living rocks, signed by his spirit. and joseph is protector. because he knows how to listen to god. he allows himself to be guided by his will. and for this reason, he's sensible, sensitive to the people who are given to him. he knows how to read with realism the events. he's attentive to that wishes around him. and he knows how to make wise decisions. in him, dear friends, we see how to respond to the vocation of god. with availability, quickness. but we also see what is at the center of the christian vocation, christ. let us protect christ in
