P.I.D. Radio 5/10/25: The First American Pope
Published 9 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
POPE LEO XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost, was elected this week to succeed Pope Francis, becoming the first American pope in history.
We discuss the possible reasons for Leo’s choice of that papal name. Pope Leo XIII, who served 1878–1903, is remembered for emphasizing the veneration of Mary and her status as “Mediatrix” and “Co-Redemptrix.” (There is no blblical support for the role of Mary in our redemption.) Leo XIII was also known for championing the rights of workers to fair wages and safe working conditions during the Industrial Revolution.
Leo I, also called Leo the Great, was pope between 440 and 461 AD. He’s remembered for laying the theological foundation for the Council of Chalcedon, which defined the nature of Jesus as both human and divine in one person, but perhaps best known for meeting with Attila the Hun and talking the barbarian out of invading Italy.
Also: Cult leader and self-proclaimed Mahdi Abdullah Hashem calls on Arabs and Jews to build the Third Temple. Read the story by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz at Israel365 News: https://bit.ly/Abdullah-temple
Our new book The Gates of Hell is now available in paperback, Kindle, and as an audiobook at Audible!
Derek’s new book Destination: Earth, co-authored with Donna Howell and Allie Anderson, is now available in paperback, Kindle, and as an audiobook at Audible!
