roman empire collapsed my second i if i may i always slabs is. me it always seemed to me that the roman empire didn't collapse as simply more if itself into the catholic him either. one could put that spin on it but one would also have to say that the western roman empire gradually declines in power and to the point it was taken over by dramatic barbarians and rome the west roman empire suffered a drastic decline in political complexity so it's true that the western roman empire not everybody go right but the it was a decrease in political and economic complexity which one could call a collapse ok and i am sorry ed or up to you in mid sentence you were you were heading into it a second one. my second example is a famous romantic example is the polynesian society on easter island easter the most remote habitable scrapple land in the world an island twenty three hundred miles west of the coast of chile and near absolutely nothing easter island is famous for its dry can tick stone statues when up to eighty tons erected by polynesians and then gradua

he was describing roman imperialism. the roman empire, which is the republic had an empire at the time. i won't read he have word of it, but i will just say, and he said. rome was governed by that policy which pre pretends to aspire to peace, but unerringly generates war. the policy of continued preparation for war, the policy of medalsome interventionism. there was no corner of the known world where some interest was not allege emged to be in danger are or under actual attack. if the interests were not roman, they were those of rome's allies. and if rome had no allies, then allies would be invented. the fight was always invested with an aura of le league alt. rome was always being attacked by evil-minded neighbors always fighting for breathing space. the whole world was pervaded by a host ofen mes and it was manifestly rome's duty to guard against their indubitally aggressive design. now does any of that sound familiar to you at all? so he's writeingin 1919 about rome. that could be about the american empire. we are con

the church you refer it is the roman catholic church.ou are looking at for issues the course, i suppose of centuries. we talked some about marriage but i think it's important that perhaps he said we'd go back and understand that backgrounding isn't scripture. >> that's right. all of these developments have some basis and discretion. it's not out of the blue. it's just that the little fragile roots in the development to emerge the way they have. in the case of the large development now going on as marriage, it's a matter of the first letter of saint paul to the corinthians. the convent has been married and the spouses convert. instead because i don't want to do anything with the christian faith and that person leaves. what is the addition of the abandoned convent? call ken -- paul says in that case, the brother of the sister, referring to a christian, is not bound to keep the marriage. in other words, divorce was perfectly possible for the abandoned convent. that's the root of the larger development. it used to be called the privilege. it

i'm christine romans. but the fact remains, the value of your biggest asset is down some 30% over the past few years. the housing market has changed and so have you. what you need to know if you own a home, want to buy one or rent. plus, is it ever okay to walk away from that mortgage even if you can afford to pay? let's start with the american dream of owning a home. if you're a buyer it's a dream market, only if you can get the loan. with ten of the nation's largest mortgage lenders denying almost 27% of loan applications last year, that's up from 23.5% in 2009. this is according to "wall street journal" analysis. if you're a seller it's a

the region's roman catholic leader is fouad twal, who has the ancient title of latin patriarch. he wants pilgrims to visit not only the holy sites, but also the local christians, whom he calls the holy land's "living stones." >> only with the living stones, with people, with community, it has a meaning of holy. it is not a question of building and archeology. it is a question of life. >> reporter: top western anglican and roman catholic leaders have just launched a new campaign to help christians in the holy land. but that can be a complicated and sometimes controversial endeavor. many christians, especially in american and european evangelical communities, are strongly pro-israel. when the u.s. and other countries moved their embassies from jerusalem to tel aviv for political reasons, one group of christians founded their own institution to support israel. they called it the christian embassy. >> we were founded in 1980 as an expression of comfort and solidarity with the jewish people and their 3,000-year-old attachment to jerusalem, and we've been standing on the principle of

a manufacturing job to make a look like there's growth where there is no growth and just like the roman empire that was over expanded too many military occupations there will collapse of the same reason this is not new it happens throughout history so let's look at how the top trickles down to the bottom here and how great the economy in america is obviously doing as copper soars thieves extract a price when thieves ransacked eight air conditioners in an apartment complex in the city of mobile alabama the culprits made off with eight hundred dollars worth of scrap metal and left residents with a thirty eight thousand dollars worth. damages so that's exactly how ben bernanke operates so he bails out the bankers for say they've stolen eight hundred billion or eighty trillion and it cost the economy many times that to replace and repair the damage right and that way justifies it is he goes in for a congress and he says i don't see inflation so i keep interest rates cheap which makes commodity prices skyrocket and congress will say well we see skyrocketing commodity prices we think we see h

. >> the irish prime minister has launched an unprecedented attack on the roman catholic hierarchy. he accused the vatican of protecting the power and reputation of the church ahead of the child rape victims. the clerical abuse exposed an institution that was defeatist. >> the church and state in ireland have been linked for generations. that close relationship appears to have changed with the publication of the report into child sex abuse. the report found that the vatican had systematically blocked and frustrated an inquiry into the issue as recently as three years ago. >> at the report estivates, the dysfunction, the disconnection, the elitism, that dominated the culture of the vatican. the rape and torture of children was downplayed and they managed to uphold instead the primacy of the institution, its power, its standing, its reputation. >> other jeopardies voiced similar criticisms. later, the hierarchy of the catholic church expressed deep remorse. >> i find myself incredibly proud of the church. i have to be ashamed of these things. >> after some anticlerical sex abuse scand

thomas roman has the story. >> the building is still smoldering from the fire that destroyed it. the fire could have also taken the lives of some of its 13 residents if not for the quick and heroic actions of several men. one who we were able to identify and who was the first to react. >> the lady was going, oh my god, help. >> he was visiting his great aunt here when he heard the screams. this is cell phone video of the fire as it raged through the eight-unit building at 1200 running springs road. he helped evacuate the residents with the help of a passerby starting with the screaming woman before taking this video. >> we managed to get her out of the house. we went in with fire distinguishers. but it spread too much. when we saw it went straight to the walls, we made a determination we need to go to the back. >> reporter: this sky 7hd video as it consumed the apartment building. down below, with thick smoke blinding him and three others who came to help they went door-to-door. >> they banged the doors and the windows and they made several passes. >> one woman needed a wheelchai

thomas roman is live with more on how this all happened. >> just offshore here in richardson bay, there is a coast guard boat marking where this plane went down. police tell us the pilot is a 75-year-old local resident. he and his passenger are fine. now, as you can imagine just about everybody has a camera now a days, and this event got a lot of camera attention including a video. >>> this is video of a hydro -- >> this is video of the hydroplane. you could see it take off and then hitting a wake. it then flipped nose first into richardson bay. this man was siting in a restaurant when the plane went by. >> we were floating along, and it gunned its engine and took off and went right by the restaurant cruising along the water. it had a lot of speed and it looks like it got airborne and hit a wake from a boat. and it shot up and it went slamming down to the water. >> she saw the plane and immediately started taking pictures as her boyfriend called 9-1-1. >> they actually did skim the water. they didn't bounce any great height at all. >> the sausalito police chief says it is being called a

but the country that once was a bastion of roman catholicism has changed. the vast majority of people here still call themselves catholic-87% on the most recent census. butany ofhe most fahf church-goers ireland today aren't even irish. this sunday mass in limerick is said in polish for some of the thousands of immigrants who poured in during the economic boom of the past decade. but it's hard to find an irish congregation this packed, and especially this young, in bigger cities. >> people still identify themselves as culturally caolic even though they no longer go to mass or go to confession. you'll see them at first communions, you'll see them at confirmations, you'll see them at funerals. they're taking a very much an a la carte view to the practice of their religion. >> reporter: as recently as the 1970s, almost 90% of the irish catholics went to mass at least once a week. today, the number is closer to 25%. and in some parts of dublin, just two or three percent of self-described catholics regularly go to church. did you grow up catholic by chance? >> y

the main demographic, the impact is really putting more members into the roman catholic church, unlike the native born, two-one protestant coming into this country, they are now 2-1 catholic. they are overwhelmingly catholic as opposed to protestant. but the rest of the immigrants coming in, a large percentage of them, look at the percentage of muslim-americans, the percentage of hindus, buddhists. the latest wave of migration is producing a much greater diversity, not only christian and jewish, another story we could talk about, the abraham ic inclusion of muslims, it is now what is and hindus and so forth. there is a continuing challenge, and it seems to me is how the government and we as a society respond to diversity and choose to accommodate it that will determine precisely where these religious identities serve to shore up the broader civic identity. >> i think you're contrast of our panel and the first panel is interesting. could it be that immigrants and the new comers, while the white people in kansas or l.a., for example, are going to fragment into different cultures? you're

i mean, these guys are bent on destroying the roman catholic church. exterminating roman catholics. so, the german protestant immigrant came over. he was one of the great political cartoonists of the day in the 1850's, 1860's. he gave the santa clause, the democratic donkey and the republican elephant. here he has a cartoon. of course, many people could not read in the days. they could, in fact, understand car tense. he has a cartoon which shows these are crocodiles coming ashore in the background it is not the white house but st. peter's cathedral. although you can't see it emily hall. tammy all, the democratic party organization of new york. a republican. the first major evangelicals party in america, founded in 1854. it brought together the entire catholic wing of the party with the antislavery. the american patriots. it was a party newspaper. a man they are opposed to people aggression. they are opposed to foreigners holding office. they wanted to restrict immigration, but particularly respect the rights of roman catholics to vote and hold office. the offspring of these two stri
