Timely on:

April 15: Pope Benedict's visit to the US

Tones:

Informational, NPR NewsMagazine-y, Sound Rich

Description:

When Pope Benedict comes to the U.S, he'll meet an American Catholic Church that is diverse and evolving. And at the Mass he leads in Washington, DC on April 17, the Pope will hear a full-throated version of American Catholicism.

The array of music selections is as multicultural and modern as the face of American Catholicism today. We caught up with the music director for the papal mass, Tom Stehle at choir practice to talk about the melting pot of songs.
