Catholic in America
Identity politics and tribal thinking has become America's dominant paradigm. Why has the respect for genuine civic friendship and the common good waned? What are the set of moral and spiritual principles needed to reclaim or reimagine what has been lost? How do we use them to make right judgments about our world and to move forward with clarity and joy? The answer is at the heart of the Catholic faith and its social doctrine: rediscovering our common identity as children of the Father, the One who created us for love. Join Jason Adkins, host of Catholic in America, to engage our own time, culture, and political milieu with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to explore how to live more fully Catholic.

Behind the Scenes at the USCCB: Anthony Granado on Catholic Public Policy
What does the USCCB actually do — and why does it matter to everyday Catholics?
In this powerful conversation, Jason Adkins sits down with Anthony Granado, Associate General Secretary of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), for a rare behind-the-scenes look at how the bishops’ policy priorities are shaped, debated, and brought to Capitol Hill.
They discuss the origins and mission of the USCCB, the role of Catholic lay leaders in influencing public policy, and how the Church uses prudence and subsidiarity to decide when and how to engage. Anthony also shares how AI, religious liberty, and faithful citizenship are shaping the bishops’ future efforts.
This is an inspiring episode for anyone who wants to understand how Catholic social teaching intersects with politics — and how the Church remains a prophetic voice in a polarized culture.
