A group of Catholic nuns have embarked on a bus journey through
America's heartland to protest budget cuts proposed by a Republican
legislator which they say will leave millions of the country's poor even
more vulnerable. Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan, himself a Catholic,
says it was his religious principles that inspired his plan, arguing
that it will help the poor by making them less reliant on government. So
how big a role does the Catholic church play in US politics? Guests:
Stephen White, John Gehring, Sister Marie Lucey.
