i'm not a muslim because i think it's more right than christianity or more correct than christianity. i don't think that way. i just think that the language that it uses to describe the ineffable experience of the divine, the relationship between creator and creation, that language works for me. the buddha once said that if you want to draw water, you don't dig six one-foot wells, you dig one six-foot well. islam is my six-foot well. but i also recognize, as the buddha did, that the water that i am drawing from is the water that everybody is drawing from. finish. >> host: a couple of viewers have referenced the longer interview that we did with reza aslan. if you go to booktv.org, that was in july 2014, i believe it was. you can watch all three hours of our discussion with reza aslan online. just two quick quotes from "zealot: the life and times of jesus of nazareth." reza aslan writes that the common depiction of jesus as an inveterate peacemaker who loved his enemies and turned the other cheek has been built mostly on n the tale of his -- [inaudible] of the politically turbulent wor

the problem of leaving a christian life and a non-christian society is now very present to us. it is the problem constituted by our implication in a network of institutions from which we cannot dissociate ourselves. institutions the operation of which appears no longer neutral, but non-christian. and for the christian who is not conscious of his dilemma, and he is in the majority, is becoming more and more decreased her nice by all sorts of unconscious purse -- the christianized by unconscious pressure. paganism holds the most value wire or ties in space. in the modern world, he concludes, it may turn out that the most intolerable thing for christians is to be tolerated. two maintained that a christian society must not be theocratic, but it must express its christian principles publicly and legally. today, of course, liberal politicians are trying harder than ever to push religion out of the public space and witness the obama administration trying to force the little sisters of the poor to provide contraception, sterilization, for their staff. elliott was working out this conse

if christianity goes, the whole of our culture goes. then you must start painfully put on a you cannot new culture ready-made. ne problem both eliot and dawson saw with the increasingly secularized culture of europe itself offncy to cut from the past. the progressive dogma that arose in the enlightenment and was strengthened by the scientific 19th century the tends to regard all early thought as superstition and nonsense. the religious mentality, on the other hand, regards the traditions of the past as prime sources of wisdom. awson quotes edmund burke as saying society is not an artificial construct, but a spiritual community, a artnership in all science, a partnership in every virtue and in all perfection. as the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are yet to be born. eliot uses very similar words when speaking of the central role of the family in society. he says, but when

all christians and catholics. that they matter to god, they are worth it. why, among other reasons, in this year of mercy pope francis has asked priest to make the sacrament of confession more readily available. we all know saturday afternoons is not the ideal time for confession. so pope francis based on his experience of having gone to convention of a young man and experience that particular loving touch of god embraces mercy. pope francis really wants us priests to open the door of our churches, for greater availability to confession. in this year, priests, all around the world, i know my pastor and i are going to do this. we are going to find opportune moments, throughout the year, to make confession available for longer durations of time. for the whole day, if you will. maybe even 24 hours at a time we are talking about. we take shifts and make that available. the holy father has this idea that he wants people, each in their own way to experience that merciful loving touch of the father. we have all, in one way or another straight from the family house

a tweet by christian snyder reads. speaker ryan when asked if he would step down, he replied i'll do whatever donald trump want me to do. join motion to discuss this, donald trump's spokesperson katrina pierson. outside of that one communique he had that he talked about with maria, what made him think paul ryan was completely on board? >> when you have a presumptive nominee the party coalesces behind that individual, particularly at the beginning of this race when mr. trump was essentially pushed into finding this loyalty pledge so he would back the nominee. now, you see many of those people have fallen back on their word. so of course he was blindsided. charles: when donald trump says he would like unity but doesn't need unity. mitt romney lost in part because many conservatives didn't show up to vote. i know he's pulling in independent and democrats. but does he want to go into november with a large portion of republicans staying home? >> he doesn't want to which is why he committed to party unity. he has been having
