Guests: Jessica Hamar Martinez, senior research on religion at Pew Research Center; Grant Underwood, professor of history at BYU; Father John Evans, pastor of St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Sandy, Utah; William Dinges, professor of religion and culture in the School of Theology and Religious Studies. Pope Francis makes his first visit to the United States at a time when nearly half of all Americans have some connection to the church, according to a recent Pew Research survey. This hour we’re asking it what it means to be Catholic in America today – culturally and spiritually.
