Faith and politics in Silicon Valley Ep.113

Faith is probably not the first thing you think of when you hear
“Silicon Valley.” But Rep. Ro Khanna, who represents the capital of
the tech world in Congress, says many people in his diverse
district can be found in the pews on Sunday. The Democratic
congressman is one of the four Hindus currently serving in Congress
and the son of Indian immigrants. We ask him how his faith shapes
his politics, his interfaith outreach and his efforts to build
bridges between India and Pakistan—and within the Democratic Party.
In Signs of the Times, we’ve got an update on the situation at
Brebeuf, the Jesuit high school that was told it could no longer
call itself Catholic after administrators refused to fire a male
teacher who is married to another man. Plus: the financial effects
of the sex abuse crisis, mobs at Mass, all-natural burials and the
pope’s message to the press.  Let us know your thoughts about
