The Popecast: A History of the Papacy

• The Original Pope Leo (St. Leo the Great)

  Since there's a Pope Leo in the Vatican for the first time in over a century, we thought it might be nice to learn about the ORIGINAL Leo, who came to power at one of Catholicism’s first major turning points – the collapse of the Roman Empire and the simultaneous rise of the Church as the caretaker of civilization. Spiritual and corporeal danger alike were brewing beyond the walls of the Eternal City, but this GREAT pontiff was up to the task.Read the Tome of Leo here: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/3604028.htm--Where to find The Popecast: TODAY IN PAPAL HISTORY: ⁠⁠⁠https://popes.substack.com⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@therealpopecastFB / Twitter / Instagram: ⁠@thepopecast⁠EMAIL: [email protected]
