Episode Details

Xavier Becerra could be California’s next governor—and if he wins, it’ll be the fifth straight Catholic to lead the Golden State. With over 10 million Catholics, California’s religious identity runs deeper than its progressive reputation suggests, rooted in Spanish missions, immigrant communities from Mexico and the Philippines, and a political legacy tied to social justice, environmentalism, and immigrant rights. From Gray Davis to Gavin Newsom, Catholic values have quietly shaped California’s leadership—making this a uniquely religious and cultural political story unlike any other state.
