This powerful imagery gathered people to vote this November joining us now -- -- in his religion contributor Father Jonathan Morris Darren orchestral music.

Very powerful words on the screen will it be affected in motivating people.

-- well -- well done and just to give a summary of what it says it talks about you pick it up a little bit from the clip that we saw that there are some elements.

Of the debate that we're having about what's important for our country that are negotiable.

In other words there -- be prudential decisions of what's the best way to run the economy to get jobs at -- at setter right.

But then they say -- that came up pretty clearly in that part of the video there are other issues that are non negotiable.

They're not negotiable.

And -- those are life they say marriage and religious liberty and then there's a quote from cardinal Timothy Dolan.

That very clearly states.

The situation we're in right now now to be clear card album was not involved in this video but they quoted him and what we're going to be seeing I think in these coming months.

-- made people responding to the bishops cry to get involved in to fight back.

Where religious liberty in particular is under attack.

And that they just sprouted a document on Thursday that -- not only the HHS mandate.

Out of situation but seven different areas in which religious liberties under attack in our country and they're saying.

Leading up to July 4 there will be a four -- what they're calling a four night for freedom.

Two weeks in preparation for July 4 and which.

-- people are called to fight back and to protect not only religious liberty.

But to protect our constitution for bishops we talked mutt but this is unprecedented didn't get though not done by -- and thank you say -- effect more powerful because it's not done by the bishops that's right now I don't think lay people should leaving asking permission from bishops are from -- to do these types of things.

You take the principles and then you do what you're supposed to do -- lady and that is to influence politics to influence culture to influence of workplace with the values that you believe -- You say they'll be fighting back -- that.

Quote two weeks that with the bishops are are are calling people do it that -- these two weeks is really prayer prayer for our country but.

Two weeks of prayer that it's also obviously protest against what the bishops considered to being violations of religious freedom.

That's so effective because we're so sick of negative ads this just pulls at what's inside of you.

Not talking about all these other candidates in their past fuzz -- -- compelling stuff thank you I was not involved.

No Julia and anyway.
