you have an expertise in catholic identity and catholic culture. today at the archdiocese of san francisco. you published extensively including the book called renewing parish culture, building for a catholic future and you have taught and worked in parishes so you have hands- on experience. >> what is the anatomy of the parish? i think it has three groups. it has the people, largest group. the staff, smaller group. and then the priests, if you're lucky enough to have a priest. a priest is one or two of three. of these three groups i would like you to talk about the challenges of all three and let's start with the people, the congregation. we know there is a decline in parish participation. can you suggest what is keeping people away? >> well, one of the things about parishes is they have these internal parts and constituents, actors, but they also live against the backdrop of a larger whiter culture, so myself, i have been a parishioner where i grew up in salt lake city on the east coast, in florida, in seattle, here in san francisco. the backdrop

in this setting, they weren't just asking, are you a catholic? they were asking, do you actually believe that stuff? do you believe the doctrine of your church? do you believe it deeply, sincerely? suggesting that if so, that was somehow a problem this too is a problem. we cannot allow it to persist. i look forward to confirming professor barrett to the court of appeals this week. thank you. >> it is one of the grand issues of our day that amazingly enough is unresolved, can you have a faith in america and live it? are we going to be a nation where you can have freedom of worship or if you want to worship over in that place, at that time and no one sees it, that's ok but if you bring in the public square that's a problem, that seems to be the primary issue of debate. we don't have freedom of worship we have the free exercise of religion. you can have a faith and hi your faith and it not get in the way of your public service or your public enterprise. as odd as it may seem this i thought was an issue that was resolved in the 1960's when a presiden

my name is joshua mchague, and this is an organization of catholic legal professionals, the catholic bar association was established, there was concern about the founding members about growing intolerance to catholic professionals serving in public office. sadly, our fears were confirmed during the recent senate confirmation hearing of notre dame law professor amy barrett. despite a distinguished legal and academic career, certain members of the senate judicial committee launched an unfair attack to discredit professor barrett because of her catholic faith. while i watched this confirmation hearing, my heart sank. before my eyes flashed a vision of a nation ruling elite through arbitrary and subjective standard may dictate the agree for which a person of faith could be religious and still qualified for office. and saw a country in which my children are being raised catholic, won't be allowed because of that tradition. is this a vision of a vibrant and free united states of america that respects the diver diversity, sadly it's not. the attack was the an unconstitutional attack against

i said, even though i am a catholic, even thoughe i havehe gone through 19 years of catholic education, i have never run into the term quote orthodox catholic" which she used in that article. i asked her if she could define it and what would she say and who did she describe and she said it was in perfect terms that explain the context for her use of it. i askedha her whether she considered herself in that category. using her term. she put forward as carried certain obligations on judicial recusal. she knowledged again the term is a proxy and that it wasn't a term in current use. some have argued that i was imposing religious test. somehow the three republican b senators are asking the sameal question have not been challenged. or that i was insinuating that catholics cancer on the bench and that is absurd. i am catholic myself and i deeply respect and value the freedom of religion in our country and the constitution and i will let my record speaks for itself. all of the numbers of catholic nominees which i appointed to the bench or try to point to the bench with the concurrence of the s

most fall under the catholic church and they don't like same-sex marriage in the catholic relig gong. >> do you think georgetown is in some way encouraging this kind i have a take on a thol low sim. they are a campus. why not shut this down this this is absurd. they published. it is done. >> it should be shut down. it is absurd. we're very conscious of anything that would some sort of discriminatory action against any kind of gay or less be yin community at the private catholic institution them you are going to see certain things. you will see bibles. that is not hate speech. what bothers me from a perspective of how to, we are doing thought control and idea control and speech cell and our constitution not the catholic faith but the constitution protects us believing in the religious values we believe in president? is ludicrous. >> do you give this young woman credit for having the courage to stand up and announce she is a virgin and will stay that way until marriage? >> we have to realize, this is not a hate crime. this is not a hate cripple to have your own beliefs. is not a hate cr

the light hearted dinner raises funds for catholic charities in new york city. speaker ryan spoke for about a half hour. >> let's talk about paul ryan, speaker paul ryan, certainly a familiar name, a familiar face, and you know the basic story, wisconsin native, altar boy, worked for a construction company started by his grandfather, a meteoric rise in washington. vice-presidential candidate and chairman. house budget committee. chairman. house ways and means committee. most jung congressmen would be content handing means or ways and he does both. and paul and i have a history, remember that night two years ago, you, me, mitt, in ohio. kind of dreamy. we'll always have akron, i want to leave it at that. yeah, akron. you know what cleveland's motto is, at least we're not akron. [laughter] >> but beyond all the washington turmoil, paul is a public servant who works tirelessly to create opportunities and improve lives, for all americans and that's why the work of the alfred e smith memorial foundation resonates with him so strongly and i guess this is the right tim

thank you, justin. >> at catholic university with more information. adam, bring us up to speed. >> reporter: aaron, what happened here was a couple of hours ago there was actually a shelter in place that was ordered by the university because one of those suspects, they thought, had run here on to campus following a car crash nearby in northeast d.c., that shelter in place has since been put away. that is the good news. we were actually having parents call the news station wondering about their children and saying this message is going out to shelter in place. should we be concerned. this was going on for a number of hours here at catholic university. you can imagine concern not just among parents but students. take a look at the tweets that the univeit not a drill. people say establish a precaution. it was a good move. >> i'm sure it is. it seems like the safest way to go. after seeing what happened they need to take the most precautions possible. >> reporter: so the good news is the shelter in place has been lifted at catholic university. there are a

as catholics, we call this solidarity in subsidiary.e are not yet through the worst hurricane season, so we need to be thinking about other citizens who live beyond these boroughs. it is the worst hurricane season in recent memory. an inferno has blackened the homes and hillsides across northern california. dozens of people are still hospitalized after the massacre in las vegas. so much has been taken. i think back a few weeks ago. i went down to houston, and i was on my way to a shelter and the sun was barely up. it was the crack of dawn, and it was already as humid as can be. and you could almost feel the exhaustion in the air. but we get there, and i have to tell you, the shelter was alive. it was full of life, and hope, and prayer. 38 counties in texas, people just out of their homes. and there were volunteers from seemingly everywhere. people from the south, the midwest, people from the northeast. people were telling me they felt that they had to be there, they did not care how long it took. they would stay and do whatever was need

do all catholics pray the rosary or is it -- >> i think all catholics have the practice of hanging the rosary from the rearview mirror. so it is a step. but i think the directors of education need to encourage it. that is what our lady did. she drew the young people to herself by means of the rosary. in fact, the three children were not saying the rosary properly. they would pray just saying hail mary, hail mary -- and then go play games. she said, that is a good start. but i want you to spend some time with the rosary. and as francisco said, he had to pray many rosaries to see mary. it is a christ centered prayer. the holy name of jesus is at the center of the prayer. just by saying the rosary, we say the holy name of jesus which has powered us to banish evil. we say that 53 times if we say the rosary. >> okay. and there are mysteries of the rosary -- sorrowful, joyful and glorious mysteries. and then added, the luminous mysteries. >> so five meditations on events in christ's life. >> i think it is very powerful as well. >> i admit i don't always do it. >> after this program, you prob

would you say that luther fought against the catholic fundamentalists against fossilised beliefs and hypocrisy. protestants like to see it but of course isn't it true you know it's too polemical the fact is the papal church was very modern and highly innovative in a different sense. maybe for me but you mentioned luther is opposition to fundamentalism and that is still a very timely issue we are witnessing a lot of religious fundamentalism today luther did fight passionately for what he believed in and he was not tolerant but he was an anti fundamentalist he said religion should always be chosen freely you can't force it on anyone that's come on . he also fought hypocrisy couldn't we do with some of that attitude today think of the climate agreements we sign and never actually implement and. got a. doctrine of sin is hard for us to grasp today what exactly constitutes sin. for luther it's about lying to yourself. lying to others and lying about your old tarrier motives we call for sinners to atone for their sins but what he meant was understand yourselves make peace with yourself and

i'm catholic myself. i deeply respect and value the freedom of religion in our country and our constitution, and i will let my record speak for itself about the numbers of catholic nominees which i have appointed to the bench or tried to appoint to the bench with the concurrence of the senate during the course of my career. i voted for many judicial nominees who were of the catholic religion, including judge robb ericson, outspoken about his catholic faith whom i voted for a couple of weeks ago. other nominees i voted against i didn't think had the experience, judgment or temperament to serve in the federal judiciary. at nominee hearings, i asked questions to try to understand how a nominee would approach the job of a judge. i asked professor barrett questions about issues she raised in her writings that would directly impact her discharge of her judicial duties. and i would note that professor barrett put forward her views as part of the academic legal debate. contrast that with paul abrams, president ob
