why did the catholic church choose leipsic? guest: first and foremost, this was organized by a secular organization, the german council of catholics of germany. it's not a direct hard of the official catholic church, this is actually one of the most secular places in all of western europe. in a definite sense, this is a political message that had a lot to do with ringing the church as a very tolerant, very open and honestly a very open organization to a place where there has been a lot of anti-immigration discussion. brent: that brings me to my next question. did the president of germany -- he is not catholic bute is an ordained minister. what was the purpose of having him speak at a conference for catholics? guest: there were a lot of evangelicals and protestants and there was a mention of what they call the sister churches that have been instrurumental to keep it going. the main point has been to show there's a very strong commitment to ideas of openness and integration. these ideas are ones that can be brought into the churc

this is what our roman catholic faith has taught us. i was taught by my family and my faith, that a good life, at its core, which is why i truly like john, is about being personal. it all comes down to being personal. being engaged. i was taught by my family and my faith to look beyond the caricature of a person, and resist the temptation when you disagree to ascribe a negative motive. because when you do that, number one, you do not know what that motive is, and number two, it makes it virtually impossible to reach common ground. i was top of my family and faith -- i was taught of my family and faith never to confuse academic credentials and social sophistication with gravitas and judgment. to have the heart to strive to distinguish between what is meaningful and what is ephemeral, and the headed to know the difference between knowledge and judgment. most importantly, my family and our faith warned me against the temptation of rationalizing in the pursuit of ambition. i know it is her birthday, but she won't mind, this is an important

bad news for women in brazil, but good news coming from the catholic church.e talk about the national catholic reporter, a publication we don't really talk about much of the press review, talking about how pope francis surprised a bunch of people yesterday by saying he's going to create a commission to examine the history of female deacons in the catholic church. deacons are officials ranked just under priests, so perhaps this could open the way to female deacons in the catholic church. this announcement brings a lot of hope to those wine to enhance fema leadership in the catholic church, which is quite a boys club. coming out of norway as well, if you take a look at the article in the independent, talks about the city of trenton time, which is banned adverts featuring seminaked models. both men and women. council officials voted to remove all billboards much like this when you can see in the have that you can see to contributed to a negative body of -- body image issue. people don't feel like they have the red bikini bod -- the right bikini bod these days. th

confession, i would encourage catholics to go to confession.unveil themselves of this wonderful sacrament. i know for me in my life the confession has been paramount. a great opportunity to experience the loving touch of god. and then from there, having experience that mercy of god. having sought the lord out for his forgiveness and experienced his mercy. that then fills the heart with gratitude. and gratitude is always an energy, if you will. it's the grace that turns us out of ourselves and gives us the desire, to go out and share the wealth with others. to share this good news with others. catholics, christians, men and women of good will can all know on the archdiocese website. find all of these ministries, of service, these missions of mercy that the archdiocese is already engaged in. you can look through the list, and find one or another that speaks to your heart. one of these ministries that prompts within you a desire to share, to be a missionary of mercy, in your own way. we know that st. paul says the body is composed of many parts th

but the catholic general had an idea. he said, "hey, if someone in this town can drink "a three-liter tankard filled with wine in one gulp, i'll spare the city." according to legend, rothenburg's retired mayor nusch said, "i can do that." mayor nusch drank the whole thing, the town was saved, and the mayor slept for three days. and today, tourists gather on the town square several times daily for a less-than-thrilling reenactment of that legendary chug. nice story, but in actuality, the town was occupied and ransacked several times during that 30 years of war, and when peace finally came, rothenburg was never again a major player. it slumbered peacefully until rediscovered in the 19th century by those same romantics who put the rhine on the grand tour map. they came here to paint and write about the best-preserved medieval town in germany. shops are filled with etchings and prints inspired by this 19th century romantic take on the town.

in cleveland, the jews were being asked to raise money for the catholic schools. and they did. and they still closed. >> that's not right, liz. the reason a lot of these reasons catholic schools are closing is because they don't have kids in the area. what i'm asking is give the parents -- give them $10,000 rather than spend $18,000, send them to a catholic school that works, giving a much better education system. we have that in washington d.c. it has improved. improve the education and reduced -- liz: this government overall, nationwide is putting $600 billion into k through 12. and if we have a problem with bad public education, it's not because we're cheap. and i'm quoting warren buffett on that. per capita. go ahead, jeff flock. >> no. it's luke. >> i just want to make the point that these problems -- >> liz, it's luke. i lived in illinois for about 20 years. i moved there about 1993, i live in connecticut now. within the last 20 years, how many governors have gone to prison for fraud in illinois? how many alderman have been indicted? this is unrelated to the stuff we're t

i'm catholic. i don't understand why women shouldn't be priests or deacons.s have female pastors including lutherans. what's your take away? >> this is a theological question. the church has had in its history a tradition of all-male priesthood. remembering how christ chose men as his disciples and that a priest acts as jesus christ. the pope wrote about it and he was asked on his flight home from rio in 2013 and when he left the united states in september and each time he said no. the church has already defined this. the question of deacons is new. he recognizes in the early church, if we read saint paul's letter to the romans, there is evidence that women served in the ministry which is like being a deacon. that's why he said it would be useful to study this further thus opening the question. >> let's talk about how pope francis has really transformed the identity of the catholic church, if not through actually installing new rules he's certainly least thrown out ideas that challenge the traditional catholic ways. softened his stance on abortion or talked a
