Politics and religion will likely converge next week when Pope Benedict arrives in the United States. Although he won't be visiting California, the Pope may be reminded during his visit that the church's center of gravity in the U.S. is shifting towards the Golden State. One reason for that shift has to do with an unprecedented exodus of parishioners over the past few years -- an exodus that's created a gap being filled by Latino immigrants.
