The Popecast: A History of the Papacy

Popecast is such a great show that has taught me so much about the history of our Popes. Highly recommend!

I know lots of my fellow Catholics need education, but this is like listening to someone describe a waiting room, or the hum of a refrigerator.

Not sure how I ended up here and just listed to one episode but was quite taken back when the host argues moral standards have slipped since HV in the 60s. This shows he is only focused on sex and not general living conditions for populations as a whole. A very, very narrow view of morality indeed. Since the 60s, countless people have been lifted out of poverty, we have expanded human rights for women and children, we have changed voting laws etc. civil rights for minority populations have also been significantly expanded. Notably in Italy, women are no longer encouraged to marry their rapists which was encouraged so that the MAN could eliminate the charges against him. Perhaps the host should consider that we just did a better job of hiding our human nature in the 60s and what was done in the darkness has been brought to light.

This is so informative and enjoyable to listen to. Two of my great loves- my faith and history- included in one podcast. Great listen!
