Popeular History: A Catholic History of the World

Interview with Patrick, 8, because he was good and he wanted to. This is his second interview, for the first check out About First Communion on this feed (which was published 4/30/22)

We'll know soon enough whether a kooky pet theory of mine holds up. Meanwhile, Bry hopes it doesn't. Special guest topics include Pope Michael!

Gregg talks The Nativity of John the Baptist, The Sacred Heart, Abortion, and the Te Deum.

Gregg teases "something", light on details, except noting that updates will start coming based on Solemnities rather than simply monthly, so the next one will be August 15th, the Feast of the Assumption.
Oh and happy anniversary!

Don't tell Andy but releasing this chat was the backup-backup plan for today's solemnity, The Assumption.
Plan A was Episode 0.14, which is rolling along with a hopeful ETA of "later this month", but I'm only going to formally commit to more content to commemorate All Saint's Day, November 1st.
Plan B ran out of time because 24 hours a day wasn't enough time to listen to all the podcasts inspired by Rex Factor. More on that later--AFTER 0.14, which WILL be the next thing on this feed, whether on 11/1/22 or before.
Apologies for the lack of proper intro and close edit, naturally going with Plan C was inspired by a lack of ability to get everything as done as I'd like...
This discussion took place in June 2021 and was the sound test for the purpose-built studio. Actual discussion of masons vaguely starts after the 11 minute mark.
Thanks Andy (and Patrick, who starts us off!)
