Hinduism is the major religion in India and one of the oldest in the world About 750 million people believe in Hinduism Although most Hindus live in India, its influence has spread to many other places.

Hinduism has developed slowly over the thousands of years Like most religions, it has basic beliefs about gods, life after death and how a person should live It doesn't have a holy book like our Bible or the Islamic Koran But Hinduism has many scriptures that were written down over the ages They consist of myths about gods, prayers and hymns, as well as long stories called epics.

The first Hindus worshipped gods that represented the powers of nature - like rain and the sun As time went on, Hindus believed in spirits that were in control of the universe Brahma is its creator, Vishnu its preserver and Shiva its destroyer There are also goddesses, like Shiva's wife who has many names and appears in different forms One time she is the goddess of motherhood and another she is the goddess of destruction According to the Hindu tradition, animals, as well as human beings, have souls Hindus worship some gods in the form of animals Cows are holy, but Hindus also pray to monkeys and snakes.

Temples are the homes of God on earth Some people take fruits or flowers into the temples and offer them to their gods Hindus take off their shoes before they enter the temple Sometimes they light lamps and wave them towards statues of gods

Hindus believe that after they die, they are reborn This is called reincarnation The most important thing that we take with us when we are reborn is our character People who are very smart may have received their skills in their past lives.

The caste system has developed out of Hinduism It is made up of four main groups called varnas The caste system was forbidden in 1949 but you can still find it in many parts of India, mostly in villages in the countryside Rules:

• People are born into a caste In their caste they can chose certain jobs 8

• Hindus can only marry men or women who belong to their caste.

• For a long time people were not allowed to eat, drink or smoke with a person from a different caste.

• The untouchables were people who did not belong to any caste They were thought to be dirty and they lived in the streets and under bridges.

The coloured dot is a sign of religion and shows that a person is a Hindu It shows a third eye that looks towards God In the past, many unmarried women wore black dots and married women wore red ones But today they often wear dots that match the colour of their saris.

Yoga is a system of exercises that help you control your body and your mind Hindus use it to be closer to God Yoga teaches you that there are two parts of a person: the body and the soul These parts can be controlled separately The yoga school tries to show people the meaning of their soul

2 Article 2: Q&A:

History of the Roman Catholic Church

The history of the Roman Catholic Church begins with the life and death of Jesus Christ, about 2,000 years ago Paul, the Apostle, is often seen as the founder of the Church He carried the word of Jesus Christ to the people Many churches were built throughout the Roman Empire.

During this time Christianity spread throughout Europe and the Middle East The Romans, who ruled these areas had their own religion and at first persecuted and mistreated Christians At around 300 AD Christianity became the main Roman

religion By this time there were two capitals in the empire: in Rome and Constantinople (now Istanbul).

When the western part of the Roman Empire collapsed in the 5th century Christianity still had a major influence in Europe The bishops in Constantinople often disagreed with the popes of western Rome, who were becoming more and more powerful In 1054 the church split into an eastern and a western branch The eastern half became the Orthodox Church and the western half became the Roman Catholic Church.

During the Middle Ages the Roman Catholic Church was the most powerful organization in western Europe It not only had religious power but also gained more and more political power Popes launched Crusades to conquer back the Holy Land from Muslims Kings and leaders in the west were very often in direct conflict with the Pope and his bishops.

In the 14th century cardinals elected a French Pope who did not want to go to Rome For about 70 years there were two popes who fought for power, one in Avignon and one in Rome As the Roman Catholic Church became weaker people began to break away and form new Christian churches.

Martin Luther, a German monk, began the reformation movement in the early 16th century Central and Northern Europe became Protestant while the Mediterranean regions remained Roman Catholic In England Henry VIII broke away from Rome and founded the Anglican Church.

Nevertheless, Roman Catholicism expanded throughout the world during the Age of Exploration Explorers and settlers brought Catholic beliefs to the New World Spanish, Portuguese and French missionaries set up churches and colonized areas in North and South America.

As time went on the Pope’s influence in Europe diminished and he lost much of his land By 1870 only the Vatican City remained The Roman Catholic Church faced changes in society as well as new theories in science, which it was mostly against In 1962 Pope John XXIII opened the Second Vatican Council which dealt with the church’s problems and modernized many things.
