What this episode covers
This Holy Week, something revealing happened. Pope Leo XIV preached the Gospel. He quoted Scripture. He called Christ what He is—King of Peace. And for that, he was attacked. Not by secularists. Not by atheists. But by those who claim to defend Christianity. In this episode, we break down: What the Pope actually said—and what was distorted The backlash from political and religious voices The dangerous merging of faith and power The silence—and selectivity—of Church leadership And what Holy Week reveals about the truth of Christ This is not about politics. It’s about whether we still recognize the voice of Jesus Christ… or whether we’ve remade Him in our own image. Because when peace becomes offensive, something has gone very wrong.
