Mike, Nate, and Jessica talk about the life of St. Irenaeus of Lyon (or Smyrna or Lugdunum or İzmir.) They talk about how pope Francis just named him a doctor of the Church, making him the doctor of unity and why his life made that a good title for him. They also talk about: which St. Irenaeus he was, the line of Christians he was a part of, the changing names of the cities he lived in, languages, the quartodeciman controversy and the dating for Easter, respectfully disagreeing with the Pope, the dating of Easter, his book "Against Heresies", gnosticism, the canon of the Bible, Marcionism, Mary as the New Eve, Mary undoer of knots, & Huguenots.
Comment with a saint you would like us to do a show on or a city with a better name than Lugdunum.
