Benedict Exonerates Jews for Jesus' Death SAYS JEWS, AS A WHOLE, WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE By Kate Schwartz, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Mar 2, 2011 9:43 AM CST (NEWSER) – Pope Benedict would like to be clear: the Jewish people as a whole were not responsible for the death of God's only son. The pope makes the sweeping exoneration in his new book, Jesus of Nazareth, excerpts of which were released today. In it, Benedict presents a biblical and theological analysis that explains why such an interpretation—which has been used for centuries to justify the persecution of Jews—is not true. The statement isn't exactly a new one for the Vatican, which in 1965 released a document that firmly stated Jesus' death couldn't be attributed to Jews as a whole. But Jewish scholars welcomed the pope's argument, noting that the faithful are more likely to read commentary than old church documents, and saying it would help fight anti-Semitism. The book, the second installment to Benedict's 2007 Jesus of Nazareth, is set to be released March 10 and concerns the second half of Christ's life, his death, and resurrection, reports the AP.

Fetuses to 'Testify' in Ohio Abortion Bill Debate ABORTION RIGHTS SUPPORTERS, HOWEVER, WON'T BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK By Kevin Spak, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Mar 2, 2011 7:11 AM CST (NEWSER) – A pair of fetuses—one of them nine weeks old, the other 11 weeks—will “testify” today in a committee debate over an Ohio bill that would ban abortions if the fetus has a heartbeat. Faith2Action, the Christian pro-life group coordinating the "appearance," boasts that they’ll be the youngest witnesses to ever come before the Ohio health committee. Their “testimony” will consist of ultrasounds images of their mothers' bodies projected on a video screen, the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports. “Lawmakers are going to be able to see as well as hear the babies’ heartbeats,” says the head of Faith2Action. “This is going to do a lot to keep other babies' heartbeats going in Ohio.” The committee’s Republican chairman will not, however, allow any pro-choice advocates to testify. “I think it’s a stunt that trivializes women’s health,” said the head of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. “What Ohioans are getting is an absolute circus in the House health committee.” Click for more on Ohio's proposed law.
