Trying a different angle

The hardest part about my story was that I knew other kids in the class were doing stories on Rosh Hashanah, and I wanted to use it from a different angle. Even though I knew not all of us would write identical stories, I wanted to try a different approach, and coming up with that was the hardest part. It wasn't until I talked to some non-Jewish friends, who didn't know anything about Rosh Hashanah, that I realized it might be interesting to write a story about the holiday from a non-Jewish perspective. That's when I decided to interview one of the fathers of the Roman Catholic Church on campus instead of one of the rabbis. Getting in touch with Father John was really simple once I found the phone number on the Hendrick's Chapel website.
It was easy to come up with the interview questions, and Professor Nicholson gave me the idea for my last question, which asked "What is your reaction to the document that the Pope okay-ed over the summer calling Protestant and Orthodox faiths 'not proper churches' and the Roman Catholic religion 'one true faith'?" I did a little background research on this document to find out what it was all about, and Father John had an interesting answer. He said that idea is not new, and the belief about the Roman Catholic churches being the "one true faith" is just a theory the Catholics hold onto. It is not meant to offend other religions, and they are not against people of other faiths for having different belief systems.
