OR Blog #34: Today I read an article from CNN.com called "Israel expects pope to visit in May." This fits into today's blogging assignment because it has to do with religion and belief/non-belief. In the article they're saying that the pope's visit to Israel is right after the controversy about the Holocaust denial within the Roman Catholic Church. One of the Bishops, Bishop Richard Williamson has outraged Jewish leaders and people by saying that he doubted the number of jewish people killed and he also said that no jewish people were murdered in gas chambers. I think that guy is crazy to say something like. Especially if he's a Bishop for the Roman Catholic Church. I also think that there is know a lot of tension in the Church because of Williamson's actions. The pope says that he had not been aware of Williamson's views when he lifted the excommunication. This article has to do with disagreements between religions, so it fits the assignment. It talks about believers and non-believers. I can compare this to Nectar in a Sieve by saying that there was a time in the book where Rukmani felt uncomfortable around people that weren't the same religion as her. That's what I read for today's outside reading blog.
