Episode Description

The Kennedys are the most famous Catholic family in America, and their religious background shaped both their personal lives and their careers in politics. We’re joined by Matthew Sitman, co-host of the podcast Know Your Enemy, to chat about Joe Kennedy’s complicated relationship with the Catholic Church, anti-Catholic sentiment during JFK’s election, a Gary Wills book on the Kennedys we’ve been devouring, and more.
