Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!The Rev. Franklin Graham says he knows what could be the ultimate trending topic on Twitter: the second coming of Christ. Graham, son of the prominent and politically connected Christian evangelist Billy Graham, gave an Easter prophecy of his own on Sunday, telling ABC's "This Week" host Christiane Amanpour that social media could be the way in which Jesus Christ's second coming could be revealed to the world. "The Bible says that every eye is going to see [the Second Coming]," Graham said. "How is the whole world going to see [Jesus Christ] all at one time? I don't know, unless all of a ...
VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI marked the holiest night of the year for Christians by stressing that humanity isn't a random product of evolution. Benedict emphasized the Biblical account of creation in his Easter Vigil homily Saturday, saying it was wrong to think at some point "in some tiny corner of the cosmos there evolved randomly some species of living being capable of reasoning and of trying to find rationality within creation, or to bring rationality into it." Franco Origlia, Getty Images Pope Benedict XVI waves to the faithful at the end of the Easter Vigil mass at St. ...

There's the Shroud of Turin -- and now there's the Towel of Coventry. A 31-year-old dance instructor from the British city says a bizarre brown stain that appeared on one of her tea towels actually shows the face of Jesus Christ. Roisin McCourt told Metro that the discolored spot is clearly recognizable as the face of a man with a beard and long hair. ...
JERUSALEM -- Controversial journalist Simcha Jacobovici says he may have found the nails that were used to crucify Jesus more than 2,000 years ago. He chronicled his Indiana Jones-type search in a new documentary called "The Nails of the Cross," which was screened today at a news conference in Jerusalem and will be broadcast in the U.S., Canada and Israel in the coming weeks. Jacobovici presented two first-century Roman nails that were bent "in a way that is consistent with crucifixion." He contends that these are the same nails found in the burial tomb of Caiaphas, the Jewish high priest ...
When Brigham Young University basketball star Brandon Davies was dismissed from the team for reportedly violating the school honor code by having premarital sex, many observers were stunned. After all, having sex seems something of a rite of passage for American college students. The scandal has brought lots of attention to BYU's honor code, which also asks that students stay away from tea and coffee (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or the Mormon Church, frowns on caffeine) and adhere to strict clothing and grooming standards (no beards for men; only one piercing per ear for ...
Brandon Davies, the star center of Brigham Young University's surging men's basketball team, has been cut from the lineup after allegedly violating the school's honor code. The school has not revealed specifics about the sophomore's conduct, nor has it provided information about Davies' enrollment status or his prospects for playing next season. BYU's mission is "to provide an education in an atmosphere consistent with the ideals and principles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," and adhering to its honor code is a requirement for admission, employment and continued ...
In astonishing and personal statements that could turn centuries of anti-Semitism upside down, Pope Benedict XVI says in a new book that Jews are not to blame for crucifying and killing Jesus. In "Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week," coming out next week, Benedict takes issue with key passages in the New Testament that for eons have been interpreted to mean that Jews were culpable for the killing of Jesus and have justified the persecution of Jews worldwide. The Catholic Church has maintained since Vatican II in 1965 that Jews were not collectively at fault for the death of Christ. But Jewish ...
Call it the chair-way to heaven. A couple in Mission Viejo, Calif., say they have found the likeness of Jesus Christ on an old rocking chair that had been sitting in their backyard for years. Lynn Balducci acquired the wooden chair more than 10 years ago, but only spotted Jesus' visage when she and her husband, Lou, decided to toss the old cushions last week, according to KTLA. ...
It's the immaculate comestible. While heating up some tortillas Tuesday afternoon, a mother in Starr County, Texas, says she was surprised when some unexpected visitors turned up in her kitchen -- the Virgin Mary and the Baby Jesus. Melinda Solis told ValleyCentral.com she was warming up flour tortillas for her sons after school when her mother pointed out a large brown mark on one of the tortillas that looked like an iconic image of the religious figures. KGBT-TV / ValleyCentral.Com What do you see in this tortilla? A family in Texas says a brown spot on a flour tortilla (left) ...
