This week marks Pope Benedict XVI makes his first visit to the United States. It’s the first time in the 21st Century that American Catholics will be visited by their Pope.

We’ll look at the Catholic Church in 2008- who practices, how they do so, and what impact a new generation of worshipers is making.
