Pope-isode

TalkPoverty Radio relaunched as Off-Kilter. Listen to new episodes of the show on Soundcloud, and follow the show on Facebook and Twitter. 

Pope Francis is in the midst of his historic visit to the United States, and he is fearlessly political. To talk about what his visit means for the most marginalized in our society, we’re joined by Claire Markham, Outreach Manager for the Faith and Progressive Policy Initiative at Center for American Progress. We then board the famous ‘Nuns on the Bus’ tourbus to speak with Sister Simone Campbell, Executive Director of NETWORK: A National Catholic Social Justice Lobby. In this role, Sister Simone has traveled to dozens of cities on a mission to transform our politics. Later in the episode, we’re joined by Alan Pyke of ThinkProgress who helps us identify this week’s Weekly Worst. We then share highlights from an intriguing conversation about the Pope’s vision for an inclusive society, led by Sally Steenland, Director of CAP’s Faith and Progressive Policy Initiative.
