Jesus in the News - What's Real, What Isn't?


Atheist Luigi Cascioli says Jesus never existed in 'The Fable of Christ'


This week in Italy the existence of Jesus Christ is going on trial, no joking, it's for real. A Priest, Rev. Enrico Righi, faces a lawsuit by Luigi Cascioli, an atheist for 'deceiving people into thinking Jesus was an actual historical figure' and wants him to prove that Jesus Christ is real.




At the same time the press is reporting a rather unorthodox 'vision of Jesus' that one of America's foremost feminists, Naomi Wolf, says she recently had.




Also this week, after being released from prison last week and then re-arrested...the would-be assassin of Pope John Paul II ,Mehmet Ali Agca, is writing a new Bible according to his brother, who claims the Vatican acknowledges he is the 'messiah' of the Muslims...now, who believes that?


Remember? ...



On May 13, 1981 the pope was shot by would-be assassin Mehmet ali Agca while riding his car in St. Peter's Square in Rome, sending him to the hospital for 22 days.



In 1983 the Pope visits Agca after the shooting, who asked people to "pray for my brother (Agca), whom I have sincerely forgiven." The Pope had kept in touch with Agca's family over the years, having met his mother in 1987.
