Can faith still shape America? | In conversation with Rick Santorum

Is faith returning to American public life? Mary Margaret Olohan sits down with former Senator Rick Santorum to discuss the changing place of Catholicism in American politics. From the rise of more outspoken Catholic voices in politics to the battle over marriage, education, family life and moral truth, Santorum reflects on what has changed in the United States, and what is still at stake. He also speaks candidly about homeschooling, faith in public office, the loss of his son, and why he came to see his public witness as inseparable from his Catholic faith.
