Habemus Papam! Introducing Leo XIV w/Pontifacts
from Popeular History: A Catholic History of the World · host Gregg Gassman
Before I give the extra omnes to everyone that isn't my pillow, I wanted to put something out about the new Pope that wasn't just his life prior to being a Cardinal (which has quickly become our most popular episode, thank you to all who shared it and keep in mind I will almost certainly have an episode on the NEXT Pope ready when the time comes, hopefully decades from now). Given my current energy levels, I am simply posting (with permission) the same version that went up on the Pontifacts feed a few minutes ago, right down to the plug for this show at the end. Very meta. If you somehow *haven't* checked out Pontifacts, perhaps if you're new from the exposure yesterday, they're well worth a listen, and I'm not just saying that because I edit their show, though I do.
