Want to have your "Catholic Faith" story on Public Radio?

Speaking of Faith is a very interesting and smart radio program on religious issues, put out by American Public Media (it feeds to National Public Radio). And they are asking right now for your thoughts on what it is like to be Catholic, in preparation for covering Pope Benedict's April visit to the USA. Please consider going here and putting in your two cents! Here's the pitch from the website:

Share your personal reflections on the Catholic Church

Pope Benedict XVI will be making his first papal visit to the U.S. in April, to help revitalize and strengthen the U.S. church. He will be stopping in Washington D.C. and New York City to offer mass at Nationals Park and Yankee Stadium, visit the White House, and address the United Nations.

We're using the occasion as an opportunity to start a broad-ranging conversation about the rich tradition of Roman Catholicism -- its history, trajectory, and the contemporary issues Catholics are wrestling with. Although we often hear news stories about the Catholic Church, diverse practitioners of the faith have had little voice in telling their stories.

If you are or were Catholic, we'd like to hear your perspectives on what anchors and unsettles you in this vast tradition. We're also interested in the hopes and concerns you have for the church, now and into the future.
