VATICAN CITY — Over the next four weeks, the Vatican’s synod hall will be the setting for close to 300 speeches about the Bible as the 253 “synod fathers” (cardinals, patriarchs, bishops and a dozen priests who head religious orders), a dozen “fraternal delegates” representing other Christian communities and some of the three dozen “observers” invited by Pope Benedict XVI address the world Synod of Bishops.
Archbishop Nikola Eterovic, secretary-general of the synod, told Vatican Radio Tuesday that Ecumenical Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew would be one of the “fraternal delegates.” Usually, the patriarchs of Orthodox churches send a representative to the synod rather than attending themselves.
But before any of them have a chance to speak, viewers of Italy’s government-owned RAI 1 television station and its satellite sister RAI Educational will hear dozens of people reading the Bible and famed tenor ...

All the great Religions in the world have offered glimpses of the
future of mankind through prophesies.
Hindu or Vedic religion, which precedes the origin of the
three Semitic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam -
believes that the evolution of life on earth takes place in four
epochs. Each epoch is an Age known as Yug spread over millions of
years. Thus we have ’Sat Yuga’ (the age of truth), ’Treta Yuga’ (in

I really didn’t believe it could happen in my lifetime. I prayed it wouldn’t happen in my kids’ lifetime. But my grandkids are showing me that it’s happening now. Not just in their day, but in mine.
The Bible depicts a time, during the breakdown of society in the last period of history as we know it, in which forbidden things would become... more
You can call it backward, oppressive and illogical but the Southern Baptist view on women expressed here is not hypocrisy. The view is on sound scriptural footing, like it or not.
The Bible does not constrict the role of women in the workplace. In fact, there are parts that straight up celebrate it. But the husband [...]

A funny thing about reading the Bible:Â you often find things you did not notice the first 20 or 30 times you read or heard the passage.
My most recent trip back to the Bible, to the beginning of the Bible, was prompted by reading the new document of the Pontifical Biblical Commission , “The Bible and Morality.” Basically, it says that God told Adam and Eve to be strict vegetarians — vegans , in fact – and that it was only after the Great Flood that God told N... more
Thankfully, the issue of clergy sex abuse has all but disappeared from the front pages of our diocesan newspapers. Stories about how dioceses are implementing background checks for parish staff and volunteers or teaching Catholic schoolchildren how to avoid sexual predators are much more frequent than reports of any new incidents of sexual abuse.
But the Florida Catholic in the Diocese of St. Petersburg, Fla., recently published an opinion piece by a survivor of clergy sexual abuse th... more
Last year, Judith Sudilovsky, CNS correspondent in Jerusalem, reported on the story  of a French priest whose mission has been to uncover the hidden truth of 1.5 million of the Jews murdered during World War II. Since 2001, Father Patrick Desbois and his team of researchers and ballistic experts have found 800 out of an estimated 2,000 mass graves in Ukraine.
His story was so compelling that when Father Desbois came to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, CNS had to tell ... more
Many Catholics in the pews don’t realize the significance of next month’s world Synod of Bishops in Rome on the Bible. We’ve been giving it extra attention this summer and fall with numerous articles and a new section of our Web site devoted to the synod .
For instance, you can read Rome bureau chief John Thavis’ examination of why Pope Benedict thinks attention to the Bible is “an area he has long considered crucial and in need of revitalization.” ... more
