From gas to groceries, inflation is hammering Americans’ pocketbooks in 2022. Polls show that the economy, specifically inflation, is the top voting issue for Americans.

In this first episode of season two of Voting Catholic, Sebastian Gomes speaks to Catherine Orr, a mother of three children in a two-car household, and Tony Annett, an economist and Gabelli Fellow at Fordham University and the author of Cathonomics: How Catholic Tradition Can Create a More Just Economy.
