5 FAITH FACTS ABOUT DEM. VP PICK TIM KAINE, A JESUIT-EDUCATED CATHOLIC.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton announced Tim Kaine, the junior Democratic senator from Virginia and former governor of that state, as her vice presidential running mate Friday.

Kaine, a Roman Catholic, will appear with Clinton, a Methodist, at next week's Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

Here are five faith facts about the new vice presidential candidate.

1. He was taught by Jesuits.

Kaine was raised Catholic in Missouri. His parents were so devout, Kaine told C-SPAN, that “if we got back from a vacation on a Sunday night at 7:30 p.m., they would know the one church in Kansas City that had an 8 p.m. Mass that we can make.” He attended an all-boys Jesuit high school in Kansas City and worked for a year with Jesuit missionaries in Honduras, where he taught welding -- his father's trade -- and carpentry.

He and his wife attend St. Elizabeth Catholic Church in Richmond, Va., which has a predominantly African-American congregation. He co-founded a men's study group there.

2. Kaine says he separates the personal from the political.

Kaine is personally against abortion and the death penalty and has sometimes spoken against same-sex marriage and gay adoption, all of which aligns with Catholic teaching. But he has taken different stances in his political life. He has upheld Roe v. Wade and told Chuck Todd of "Meet the Press": "I have taken the position, which is quite common among Catholics -- I have got a personal feeling about abortion, but the right rule for government is to let women make their own decisions."

As Virginia's governor, he oversaw 11 state executions. "I have a moral position against the death penalty," he said in 2012. "But I took an oath of office to uphold it. Following an oath of office is also a moral obligation."

He was fairly late to supporting same-sex marriage, saying in 2013, "I believe all people, regardless of sexual orientation, should be guaranteed the full rights to the legal benefits and responsibilities of marriage under the Constitution."

And while Kaine opposed gay adoption in 2005 -- also in line with Catholic Church teaching -- by 2012 he had reversed his position.

3. He favors allowing women to become priests.

When Pope Francis visited Washington, D.C., in September 2015, Kaine attended the pontiff's historic address to Congress. Before the speech, he issued a statement. "If women are not accorded equal place in the leadership of the Catholic Church and the other great world religions, they will always be treated as inferiors in earthly matters as well," Kaine said. "There is nothing this Pope could do that would improve the world as much as putting the Church on a path to ordain women."

4. Kaine is a fan of Pope Francis' "Laudato Si'."

Not all Catholics thought the pontiff should write an encyclical on a secular issue such as global warming, but Kaine agrees with Francis' framing of the issue as one of faith. "I'm sure he's not going to opine on whether a carbon tax is better than a cap-and-trade mechanism," Kaine said of the pope days before the encyclical was published in 2015. "That doesn't need to be where he goes -- but to say, 'You know, you guys and everybody in power these days, you've got the next generation's future in your hands, and you don't want to have to face that question later in life: With the science what it was, and with you having the opportunity to do something about it, why did you choose not to?'"

5. Kaine speaks openly about his faith.

“My faith is central to everything I do,” he once told the website Patch. “My faith position is a Good Samaritan position of trying to watch out for the other person.” And in a recent C-SPAN interview he said: “I do what I do for spiritual reasons. I’m always thinking about the momentary reality but also how it connects with bigger matters of what’s important in life.”

Mientras se suceden los atentados terroristas alrededor del mundo, muchos se preguntan qué diferencias hay entre el ISIS, Al-Qaeda y otras organizaciones terroristas que pivotean en torno a la ideología de ambos. ¿Son lo mismo? No, no lo son, existen muchas diferencias mas allá de alguna similitud operativa o de alianzas temporales de los diferentes grupos terroristas que han jurado lealtad a ellos.

Desde Infobae, en notas anteriores se ha abordado las similitudes y diferencias de algunas organizaciones terroristas. Para que el lector disponga de un marco de comprensión mayor sobre estos grupos, brevemente definimos el escenario en el que operan, su modalidad y cercanías entre si.

Más allá de cualquier debate ideológico y lejos de rozar la sensibilidad hipócrita de aquellos que se escudan en una supuesta islamofobia victimizante, es un hecho concreto la influencia del islam en los asesinatos que las organizaciones extremistas ejecutan sin piedad. Sobran ejemplos en los que el accionar y la presencia de la religión son un factor desencadenante de estos crímenes.

Finalmente, Ángela Merkel ha reconocido que cientos de yihadistas han sido introducidos de contrabando en Europa a través de la gran cantidad de refugiados que ingresaron a Alemania. La canciller declaró que "dentro del gran flujo de refugiados que Europa ha recibido, un gran número de terroristas ha ingresado en varios países del Viejo Continente, incluida Alemania".
