The Health of Pope Francis, the First Amendment, and the Alabama Legislature

Kim and Steve discuss the papacy during their lifetimes, the pastoral care of Pope Francis, the text of the First Amendment as it applies to religion, and an(other) unconstitutional bill pending in the Alabama legislature.
