40. Siricius

April 29, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 27.9 MB

Pope Siricius really hated heretics, and when monks or nuns were banging in the monasteries. In this episode, we discuss the earliest preserved papal decretals in history, early church policy on clerical celibacy, and why 'Vicious Siricius' is a sassy drag biatch.   Support Pontifacts: Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pontifactspod Paypal: paypal.me/pontifactspodcast Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/pontifactspod Amazon Wishlist: https://tinyurl.com/pontifactswishlist

Bonus: Athanasius with History of the Copts!

April 15, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 27.7 MB

In our greatest Athanasius Interlude yet, we are joined by Johnathan Adly from the History of the Copts Podcast, to fully dig into the much exiled Patriarch of Alexandria, Athanasius! In this episode, we discuss all things Athanasius, as well as the character of the Eastern early church, the state of the empire, the power of the papacy, and how all of this ties into Coptic Christianity!   Support Pontifacts: Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pontifactspod Paypal: paypal.me/pontifactspodca...

39. Damasus

April 01, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 30.9 MB

Pope Damasus is certainly a giant of the early church. He ensured a lasting legacy by vigorously asserting papal primacy, officially defining orthodoxy and doctrine, and putting his name and terrible poetry on epitaphs everywhere. And thats all without saying anything of the scandals, schisms and murder!   Support Pontifacts: Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pontifactspod Paypal: paypal.me/pontifactspodcast Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/pontifactspod Amazon Wishlist: https://tinyurl.com/pon...

Bonus Episode: Theodoret's Conference of Liberius and Constantius

March 28, 2019 10:00 - 9 minutes - 4.23 MB

In this week's episode, we covered the exile of Pope Liberius following his refusal to condemn Athanasius and sign a Semi-Arian creed. A version of how this meeting between the Pope and Emperor Constantius II might have gone has been preserved in Theodoret's Ecclesiastical Histories, Chapter 13. Ergo, its time for a dramatic reading! Thank you to David Shealy for providing several voices!

38. Liberius

March 25, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 31.9 MB

Pope Liberius would rather die than deny his faith or condemn Athanasius. He tells us so at least twice. But Emperor Constantius is ready to call his bluff, with circumstances we haven't seen since Christian toleration. In this episode, we outline the bribery, the threats, the councils, the antipopes, and the alleged scandal that followed!

Bonus Episode: PBC2019

March 21, 2019 20:18 - 24 minutes - 11.1 MB

The Meeting on the Protection of Minors in the Church happened at the end of February, and was the first summit of its kind in history. In this special POPEWATCH bonus episode, we go over the program of the council, the conclusions and directives announced at its end, what may come in the future, and the reactions from around the world. We also talk about why shitty Vigano is shitty.   Support Pontifacts: Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pontifactspod Paypal: paypal.me/pontifactspodcast ...

37. Julius I

March 18, 2019 10:00 - 59 minutes - 27.3 MB

Pope Julius I, the "Defender of Orthodoxy", assumed the papacy while Eusebius of Nicomedia was still stirring an Arian fuss in the East, and Athanasius was in and out of peril. But he was not going to back down! In this episode, we discuss a series of rival councils, Christmas, and cankle necks.   Support Pontifacts: Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pontifactspod Paypal: paypal.me/pontifactspodcast Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/pontifactspod Amazon Wishlist: https://tinyurl.com/pontifactswis...

36. Mark I

March 11, 2019 10:00 - 56 minutes - 26.1 MB

Pope Mark I witnessed many significant shifts during his early church career, so by the time he became pope, it was practically time for a break. In this episode, we introduce the Athanasius interlude, clerical fashion, and the merit of beards. A special thank you to our friend Ben oFukushimama Laser Shark for the music for our new segment.    Show notes: Papal Ring of Pope Pius II:  https://sammlung.mak.at/en/collection_online?id=collect-22068&fbclid=IwAR1c-biPNqKitoVsIHaFMTxhpJ0yAKlXzEV...

Council Episode: The Council of Nicaea

March 04, 2019 10:00 - 57 minutes - 26.5 MB

We've finally arrived at the most important moment of the early church! In this episode, we set aside our popes for a substantial tangent to explore the details of the church's first ecumenical council.

35. Sylvester I

February 25, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 28.9 MB

We have reached the papacy of the Council of Nicaea! But come back for that next week., because we're going to spend as much time on it this week as Sylvester did.

34. Militiades

February 18, 2019 10:00 - 53 minutes - 24.6 MB

Militiades is our second African Pope, and held the papacy during a massive shift of Christendom in the empire that no one saw coming.

Constantine!   Support Pontifacts: Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pontifactspod Paypal: paypal.me/pontifactspodcast Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/pontifactspod Amazon Wishlist: https://tinyurl.com/pontifactswishlist

33. Eusebius

32. Marcellus I

February 04, 2019 10:00 - 37 minutes - 17 MB

Marcellus came to the papacy in the lull of the brutal Diocletian persecutions.

30. Caius

January 21, 2019 10:00 - 51 minutes - 23.6 MB

Pope Caius the Dalmatian was somehow related to one of the most important emperors in Roman history, and also maybe a saint. Also maybe that saint was faced with some incest? And maybe he was REALLY old when he became pope. This is an episode with many mysteries!

29. Eutychian

January 14, 2019 10:00 - 31 minutes - 14.6 MB

Was Pope Eutychian even a pope at all? Historians will argue, and the mass destruction of Christian records during the Diocletian persecutions will obfuscate the answers. In this episode, we'll spend some time recapping the state of the empire, and then try to determine a feasible schedule to bury over 300 martyrs in 8 years.   Support Pontifacts: Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pontifactspod Paypal: paypal.me/pontifactspodcast Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/pontifactspod Amazon Wishlist: h...

We're ringing in the new year with a new Pope, facing old problems!

December 10, 2018 10:00 - 47 minutes - 21.7 MB

25. Stephen I

December 03, 2018 10:00 - 43 minutes - 20 MB

Pope Stephen's papacy begins at a time where what is most needed is consistency, and continuity from the previous popes. And he delivers something entirely different instead. In his episode, we will discuss his papacy, his relationship with pope fanboy Cyprian, and try to separate him from two other popes he's often blended into.

24. Lucius

November 26, 2018 10:00 - 38 minutes - 17.5 MB

Pope Lucius doesn't have a whole lot of time to make his mark on the church, and he's going to have to spend much of that time on beach vacation. But there are still things to discuss! In this episode, we'll go over his life, his position on the new schism, and the impact his head has on demons.   Support Pontifacts: Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pontifactspod Paypal: paypal.me/pontifactspodcast Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/pontifactspod Amazon Wishlist: https://tinyurl.com/pontifactswi...

23. Cornelius

November 12, 2018 10:00 - 54 minutes - 24.8 MB

Pope Cornelius assumed the papacy in the midst of an extremely violent persecution, after the longest period of no-pope-ness that we've seen yet. Will he lead the church in a new unifying direction, or will he scramble with a fractured and decimated church? In this episode, we discuss his life, his fanboys, and common sense versus orthodoxy.

22. Fabian

November 05, 2018 10:00 - 42 minutes - 19.5 MB

Pope Fabian definitely has one of the most unique stories of the early Popes. As the first pope appointed by acclamation, he shook things up, and maybe made a few birb-friends along the way.   Support Pontifacts: Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pontifactspod Paypal: paypal.me/pontifactspodcast Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/pontifactspod Amazon Wishlist: https://tinyurl.com/pontifactswishlist

Pope Anterus is one of the most unfortunate of the early popes, due to one of the shortest papacies in history.

Pope Urban sat on the papal throne, and all he got was the t-shirt... or some accounts would have you believe! But is this an accurate picture of a pope who has achieved literary immortality?

18. Callixtus

October 01, 2018 10:00 - 52 minutes - 23.8 MB

The Catholic Encyclopedia says: "If we knew more of Callixtus from Catholic sources, he would probably appear as one of the greatest of the popes." Instead, the sources we have are from his greatest critics. But is that a bad thing? His enemies have so much to say! In this episode, we discuss Callixtus's adventurous life, his scandalous policies, his cemetery, and determine whether he was a Saint, or a massive sinner.   Support Pontifacts: Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pontifactspod P...

Anicetus led a life that was "so blameless, that he was a model to every one of Christian perfection" - at least according to his biggest fan from the 1800s.

Pope Hyginus, or Inigo (insert Princess Bride reference here), is said to have held the papacy in a time of relative peace. But is that true? How recent, or short was this peace? In this episode, we will discuss Hyginus's life, heretics, and church hierarchy, which he may or may not have had anything to do with.
