In this episode, we mark a historic moment—the election of an American pope, Pope Leo XIV, on the Fourth of July. What does this mean for the future of the Church? What signals is the new pope sending through his words, actions, and timing?
We’re joined by special guest Gregg Gassman of Popeular History to unpack the symbolism, politics, and potential of Leo XIV’s early papacy.
From conclave to inauguration, from incense to independence—this is a new kind of beginning.
