Religion News: Austria defends new law on mosque funding MailTribune.com Writer Posted Mar. 12, 2015 @ 12:01 am Updated Mar 12, 2015 at 10:55 AM Posted Mar. 12, 2015 @ 12:01 am Updated Mar 12, 2015 at 10:55 AM » Social News p bs:newslist StartDate="20121121" EndDate="p bs:datecalc Months="3"" DateSort="1" UseObjects="1" ObjectClass="81" Taxonomywords="2325,665" ExactTaxonomyMatch="1" Image="1" Count="4" --> WEEK IN RELIGION Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurtz defended the Austrian government’s new law that limits foreign funding and influence regarding the operation of mosques in Austria, a law that has sparked criticism from the Turkish government. Turks comprise the third-largest ethnic group in Austria, after Croats, Serbs and Germans. Speaking with The Guardian last week, Kurtz said “In our opinion, imams should be role models for young Muslims and must show that it is possible to be a proud Austrian and a believing Muslim at the same time and so there will be no need for Turkish imams in the future.” In addition to the funding regulations, the law also affords more protections to Muslims, and gives official status in Austria to Muslim religious holidays. SURVEY SAYS A new poll by Pew Research Center shows that Pope Francis’s popularity is on the rise with American Catholics, with nine out of 10 U.S. Catholics saying they have a favorable view of the pope. Pew says that puts Pope Francis’s popularity on par with Pope John Paul II in the 1980s and ’90s. Pope Benedict XVI’s popularity never climbed as high as his predecessor or successor. GOOD BOOK? ‘Finding Jesus’ by David Gibson and Michael McKinley “Finding Jesus” explores six major artifacts, including the Shroud of Turin, the True Cross, and John the Baptist, that give us the most direct evidence about the life and world of Jesus. The book and attendant CNN series provide a dramatic way to retell “the greatest story ever told” while introducing a broad audience to the history, the latest controversies, and newest forensic science involved in sorting out facts from the fiction of would-be forgers and deceivers. The book and the show draw on experts from all over the world. — St. Martin’s Press THE WORD Apostles’ Creed: A profession of Christian faith that is accepted in the Roman Catholic Church as an official creed and has similar standing in many Protestant churches. Various sources trace its origins and evolution from between the first and seventh centuries. The core of the Apostles’ Creed is believed to predate the Nicene Creed, a slightly longer formula that was elaborated by church fathers at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. The Nicene Creed is usually recited collectively at Catholic Masses. — ReligionStylebook.com RELIGION AROUND THE WORLD According to the CIA World Factbook, the religious makeup of Malawi is: • Christian: 82.6 percent • Muslim: 13 percent • Other: 1.9 percent • None: 2.5 percent — More Content Now MailTribune.com Writer Posted Mar. 12, 2015 @ 12:01 am Updated Mar 12, 2015 at 10:55 AM » Comment or view comments /* $( document ).ready(function() { // Jquery mobile is trying to style the button and leaving a blank gry button on top of a white button $("#viafouracoms .vf-comment-controls li.vf-right").html(' Submit '); });*/ » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox. calendar Connect with MailTribune.com Facebook Twitter RSS Back to top Reader Services Reader Services Home Subscriptions Subscriber controls Contact us Submissions Photos Events Letters to the editor Corrections Announcements Obituaries Story ideas Since you asked Alerts Email Alerts RSS Feeds Text Alerts Advertise Media Kit Home Products and services Ad rates Advertising contacts Mail Tribune Daily Tidings The Nickel Shop Our Valley Blogs Stay Informed Email newsletter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
