History Of The Papacy Podcast

In this reaction episode, Garry Stevens of the History in the Bible Podcast and Steve take a deep dive into Biblical Archaeology Review's 50th anniversary article. What does half a century of digging in the Holy Land really tell us? I break down the claims, question the hype, and offer some context that may be missing from the glossy retrospective. From Solomon’s Temple to sensational headlines, let’s talk about what archaeology can and can’t prove. Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or just a fan of old stones and strong opinions, this one’s for you. https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/#HistoryOfThePapacy #BiblicalArchaeology #BAR50 #SolomonsTemple #TempleTalk #ArchaeologyPodcast #ChurchHistory #BibleHistory #AncientJerusalem #OldTestament #HistoricalCriticism #BARReaction #OrthodoxChristianity #NoHotTakesJustHistorySupport the show:Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/historyofthepapacyPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/historyofthepapacyBuy me a book! https://www.am

Why does the Roman Empire still hold such power over our imagination — and our institutions? In this episode, Steve is joined by journalist and bestselling author Aldo Cazzullo, whose new book The Never-Ending Empire explores the enduring legacy of Rome in everything from politics to language to architecture — and now, the papacy itself. We discuss the Roman Republic, the Gracchi brothers, Julius Caesar, the transformation into the Christian empire, and the echoes of it all in today’s world — especially with the historic election of the first American pope, Leo XIV. What connects Augustus and Zuckerberg? Caesar and Washington? The Roman Senate and Capitol Hill? Tune in to find out.

Pope Francis has reposed, and the Church now turns to his legacy. In this second part of our tribute, Steve is once again joined by Greg Gassman of the Popeular History Podcast (popeularhistory.com) to unpack the full arc of Pope Francis’ time on the throne of St. Peter. From early humility in the Casa Santa Marta to bold global moves on war, synodality, and women in church leadership, we analyze a pontificate defined by contradiction, compassion, and courage. How did Francis challenge the office of pope while redefining what it means to be the Bishop of Rome? And how did his decisions set the stage for the 2025 Conclave?#PopeFrancis #HistoryOfThePapacy #Synodality #CatholicPodcast #JesuitPope #FrancisLegacy #PopeularHistory #Vatican2025 #ConclaveCountdown #RomanCatholicChurch #ChurchReform #CatholicHistory #PapalPolitics #LatinMass #Dubia #LaudatoSi #FratelliTutti #FiduciaSupplicans #WomenInTheChurch #ChurchAndStateSupport the show:Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/historyofthepapacyPatreon: ht

He was the first Jesuit pope. The first from the Americas. And maybe the most surprising conclave choice in modern memory. In this episode, Steve is joined by Greg Gassman of the Popeular History Podcast popeularhistory.com to unpack the remarkable journey of Jorge Mario Bergoglio — Pope Francis. From his early life in Buenos Aires to his unlikely rise to the papacy, we explore the formation of a pontiff who would challenge tradition, embrace the margins, and reshape the tone of the Catholic Church.What did Francis’ past reveal about the path he would take?

Original Publish Date: 5/8/2025 Description: The conclave is over and the prediction markets were dead wrong. In this episode of History of the Papacy, we dive into the fascinating rise of Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope. Just days before his election, he barely registered in the prediction markets. So how did he win in less than five ballots? We explore how these markets work, why they usually get things right, and why the conclave is one place where money can’t predict the Holy Spirit.

Long before Solomon’s Temple, there was THE tent. But not just any tent — a divine design, down to the color of the yarn and the placement of the cherubim. In this episode, we unpack the biblical Tabernacle: part spiritual HQ, part ancient glamping setup, and 100% foundational to Jewish identity. From goat skins to gold fittings, was this just a mobile worship space or something way bigger?#HistoryPodcast #Tabernacle #BibleStudy #OldTestament #JewishHistory #Exodus #BiblicalArchaeology #AncientIsrael #Moses #TentOfMeeting #ArkOfTheCovenantSupport the show:Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/historyofthepapacyPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/historyofthepapacyBuy me a book! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1MUPNYEU65NTFHave questions, comments or feedback?

Was King Solomon a wise ruler, a savvy trader, or just history’s first brand-builder? In this bonus episode, we unpack the Solomon story—gold-covered Temples, suspiciously good PR, and zero outside sources. From trade routes to tall tales, we ask: how much of Solomon’s legacy was historical... and how much was just really good marketing? #HistoryPodcast #Solomon #BibleHistory #AncientIsrael #TempleOfJerusalem #InfluencerOrigins #BiblicalHistory #WisdomOrSpin Support the show:Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/historyofthepapacyPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/historyofthepapacyBuy me a book! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1MUPNYEU65NTFHave questions, comments or feedback?

In this episode we kick off with special thanks to Patreon supporters Cort the Great and Larry. Inspired by a suggestion from longtime listener Zach, we dive into the intriguing world of betting on the name of the next Pope.

With Pope Francis currently hospitalized, we consider the likelihood of a Pope Francis II and the potential for corruption in modern sports and ecclesiastical betting.
