The elephant in the room this week? Pope Benedict XVI and other leaders in the Catholic church have been surrounded by scandal lately, and it doesn\u2019t seem to be going away. We discuss the lessons we can learn from these happenings and what the implications will be for the Christian church.<\/p>\n

In the second half of the show, we discuss the pop icon known by most as Lady Gaga. While Ben might be skeptical, Rich argues that she\u2019s more than your average pop star. Listen to find out why and what it means for Christians.<\/p>\n

Every week, Richard Clark and Ben Bartlett acknowledge and respond to the big issues in popular culture. We love feedback!
