We've seen the white smoke, and it is time for a Pope-a-palooza! From Pope #1 and the 13 other Pope Leos to lady popes and baller popes, we cover a LOT of papal history in this, the final episode of season 7 and Cass's last season as co-host!
We're joined by returning guests and friends, Jim Vozzella (ep. 48) and Alex DiVirgilio (ep. 96 & ep. 100) for an exploration of the origins of the papacy, Chicago's own Pope Leo XIV, the legend of Pope Joan, the Harlem Globe Trotters, hot TV/Film popes & priests, and, of course, a whole lot of Catholic Youth Nostalgia.
