Episode Synopsis

A baseball-loving American now sits on the papal throne, a fascinating new wrinkle in the long history of the Roman Catholic Church. What does it mean to have an American pope? We explore the history of American Catholicism, from its early struggles in a predominantly Protestant nation to its eventual integration into public life, along with its complex and sometimes uneasy relationship with American democracy.
Guest: Daryl Hart, Associate Professor of History at Hillsdale College
