AD 92: Habemus Pointsam! From Anacletus to Clement

Popeular History: A Catholic History of the World ·

2025/09/20

It's (probably) 92AD, and Pope Anacletus (or Cletus) has "fallen asleep in the hope of the Resurrection", possibly martyred. Up next is the second most famous Roman bishop of the Apostolic age, Pope Clement. But how did we get there?

AD 79: Habemus Pointsam! From Linus to Anacletus

Popeular History: A Catholic History of the World ·

2025/08/17

It's (probably) 79AD, and Pope Linus is dead, possibly as a martyr in a spot of local persecution. He is succeeded by Cletus, or Anacletus, or Anencletus, or maybe Clement, or possibly Evaristus. Definitely by someone, or several folks. Nero's gone, which is good, but so is the Temple, which is bad.

AD 68: Habemus Pointsam! From Peter to Linus

Popeular History: A Catholic History of the World ·

2025/07/26

It's (probably) 68AD, and Peter has (definitely) died, possibly as the result of Nero doing some pregaming. The world is (probably) ending soon because Jesus said it is, and you're wondering about the next Pope? Who cares? Also, what's a Pope?

AD 30: Habemus Pointsam! From Jesus to Peter

Popeular History: A Catholic History of the World ·

2025/07/26

It's approximately 30AD, not that anyone is calling it that yet. Jesus hasn't died, but he's apparently decided to pass the keys. If this is sounding familiar, don't sweat. While it has been remastered, this was originally broadcast last year as part of anniversary observances, and I'm not counting this as July's promised Habemus Pointsam episode. Instead, that will be coming very, very soon! P.S. In addition to checking out patreon.com/popeular for ways to support Popeular History, if you join

5th Anniversary Update

Popeular History: A Catholic History of the World ·

2025/06/29

TRANSCRIPT: Good evening folks, Happy 5 years of podcasting to me! At least officially. Sure, the first thing on this feed came out on April 27th 2020, but longtime listeners will recall that the show celebrated its official launch on June 29th 2020, the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, and so has accordingly celebrated its official anniversary on that date annually. Whether you’ve been listening for 5 years or 5 seconds, thank you and I hope you’ve been enjoying it, and maybe picked up some cool

Habemus Papam! Introducing Leo XIV w/Pontifacts

Popeular History: A Catholic History of the World ·

2025/05/09

Before I give the extra omnes to everyone that isn't my pillow, I wanted to put something out about the new Pope that wasn't just his life prior to being a Cardinal (which has quickly become our most popular episode, thank you to all who shared it and keep in mind I will almost certainly have an episode on the NEXT Pope ready when the time comes, hopefully decades from now). Given my current energy levels, I am simply posting (with permission) the same version that went up on the Pontifacts feed a
