The Papacy - February 24, 2021

On this episode, Bishop talks about the first few popes...including the very first, St. Peter, and those who followed him but aren't as well known including: St. Linus, St. Cletus, St. Clement, and St. Sixtus. Then Bishop answers these listener-submitted questions: * We hear a lot about the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops since it's where we live, but can you talk about how bishops in other countries assemble, issue statements, etc.? * What do you think is the most pressing priority in the Church right now? *I understand that Canon law was first compiled in 1917. What did it look like before then? *What is a Vatican diplomat? Do they apply for the position or are they appointed? What is their length of service?
