Voices of Faith from a Life in the Church

Over the past decade Rome has been marked with sharp, and often unwarranted, criticism of the Church in the United States and American Catholic life. But very few of the critics have taken the time to talk, systematically, with a wide range of U.S. Catholics to understand their concerns. Francis Maier has had those conversations. He joins us.

Francis X. Maier is a senior fellow in Catholic Studies at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, Washington, D.C. He served for 23 years as senior aide and special assistant to Archbishop Charles Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., in Denver and Philadelphia. He previously served for 15 years as editor-in-chief of the National Catholic Register newsweekly, and earlier still as a screenwriter and story analyst based in Los Angeles.
