(Updated throughout the week.)<\/p>\n

Pope Francis makes his first visit to the United States this week, following his trip to Cuba. He’ll be meeting with President Barack Obama, addressing Congress and the United Nations and saying Mass at the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia. He’ll also visit with prisoners, immigrants and Catholic school children.<\/p>\n

CRCC Editor Megan Sweas<\/a>, a journalist who has covered the Catholic Church, gave an overview of the trip and talked about its significance on KPCC’s Take Two. Her interview is at about 8:15 in the full episode<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She also commented on the pope’s attitude toward LGBT Catholics<\/a> and feminism and faith. <\/a><\/p>\n
