Rome and the Republic: Catholicism and Questions of Loyalty and Identity
Summary
Under the backdrop of our nation’s 250th anniversary, Our Seven Neighbors, season 5, explores the long, contested history of religious diversity in the United States—not as a feel-good celebration of pluralism, but as a hard-won achievement forged through conflict, exclusion, resistance, and moral struggle. Episode 4 features host Reza Aslan in conversation with Dr. John T. McGreevy.
