The Popecast: A History of the Papacy

• Interviewing the Pope | Elise Ann Allen

  A very special guest indeed on this week’s show. I’m joined by Elise Ann Allen, Senior Correspondent for Crux in Rome, who recently conducted the first exclusive, extensive papal interviews of Pope Leo XIV’s pontificate. Those conversations have been turned into a brand new book from Penguin Random House entitled “Leo XIV: Citizen of the World, Missionary of the 21st Century.” We talk quite a bit about what it’s like to sit across from the first American pope, the man behind the name, and her impressions on what might be in store in the coming months and years from our new pontiff. I really enjoyed this conversation, so I’m confident you will, as well. --Get Elise's book on Pope Leo XIV: https://amzn.to/3MyM4OyFind Elise's work at Crux: https://cruxnow.com/author/elise-ann-allen--Where to find The Popecast: SUPPORT + NEWSLETTER: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://popes.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE: @therealpopecast ⁠FB / Twitter / Instagram: ⁠@thepopecast⁠EMAIL: [email protected] MERCH: ⁠https://the-popecast-store.creator-spring.com

• The Pope Who Put a Corpse on Trial (Stephen VI)

  Imagine: A corpse that’s nine months dead is propped on a throne in full papal vestments, and placed on trial for various alleged offenses. A teenage deacon is assigned to answer questions on its behalf. And the present pope is screaming at the body. Well that’s our pontiff for today’s episode. The man who lost his mind, his papacy, and eventually his life over a dead guy.--Where to find The Popecast: PAID SUPPORT + NEWSLETTER: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://popes.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@therealpopecastFB / Twitter / Instagram: ⁠@thepopecast⁠EMAIL: [email protected] MERCH: https://the-popecast-store.creator-spring.com

• Charlemagne's Pope (St. Leo III)

  Our pope this week bears a familiar name to us in the present day, was one half of a powerful alliance between a pope and one of the greatest Western kings to ever live, and even had something in common with the current United States president. Stay tuned to the end to find out what it is. --Where to find The Popecast: PAID SUPPORT + NEWSLETTER: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://popes.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@therealpopecastFB / Twitter / Instagram: ⁠@thepopecast⁠EMAIL: [email protected]
