• The Pope Who Predicted the Future (Pope St. Paul VI)

  The guy we’re covering this week was nothing short of a prophet. He called out society’s future ills decades before they actually happened, and reigned as pope through the assassination of an American President, the sexual revolution, and a sweeping reform in the Catholic Church.FROM THE EPISODE: - Church of Spies: The Pope's Secret War Against Hitler - https://amzn.to/3Hmn8XV- Humanae Vitae (full text): https://www.papalencyclicals.net/paul06/p6humana.htm--Where to find The Popecast: PAID SUPPORT + NEWSLETTER: ⁠⁠⁠https://popes.substack.com⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@therealpopecastFB / Twitter / Instagram: ⁠@thepopecast⁠EMAIL: [email protected]

• The Original Pope Leo (St. Leo the Great)

  Since there's a Pope Leo in the Vatican for the first time in over a century, we thought it might be nice to learn about the ORIGINAL Leo, who came to power at one of Catholicism’s first major turning points – the collapse of the Roman Empire and the simultaneous rise of the Church as the caretaker of civilization. Spiritual and corporeal danger alike were brewing beyond the walls of the Eternal City, but this GREAT pontiff was up to the task.Read the Tome of Leo here: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/3604028.htm--Where to find The Popecast: TODAY IN PAPAL HISTORY: ⁠⁠⁠https://popes.substack.com⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@therealpopecastFB / Twitter / Instagram: ⁠@thepopecast⁠EMAIL: [email protected]

• How the Conclave REALLY Works (w/ Donald Paul Maddox)

  Although the papal election process has over the centuries, since 1996 the Catholic Church's rules governing conclaves have stemmed from a document from Pope St. John Paul II entitled Universi Dominici Gregis. On today's episode, we're joined by Donald Paul Maddox, author of the excellent publication In Defense of Theology on Substack and co-host of the Saints in the Parish podcast, to take a deep dive into how the upcoming conclave to elect the next Successor of St. Peter will REALLY work. - Subscribe to In Defense of Theology: https://indefenseoftheology.substack.com/- Listen to Saints in the Parish podcast: https://www.stlawrencefairhope.com/parish-podcast.html--Where to find The Popecast: NEWSLETTER: ⁠https://popes.substack.com⁠YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@therealpopecastFB / Twitter / Instagram: ⁠@thepopecast⁠EMAIL: [email protected]
