PONTIFACTS: Ranking the Popes159. Gregory VIIThey finally got him! Despite being the hide and seek champion, Hildebrand has finally been cornered into being pope. And what a papacy he will have! In his episode (now officially our longest episode to date), we will discuss the Investiture Controversy, the famous Walk to Canossa, what the hell a 'toot' could be, and something that Fry hates, but Bry loves.
Episode features Ben Jacobs from Wittenberg to Westphalia, David Montgomery from The Siecle, and Gregg Gassman of Popeular history.

Popeular History: A Catholic History of the WorldAD 92: Habemus Pointsam! From Anacletus to ClementIt'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?

History in the BibleAfterlife Detour 2: ConclaveAnother detour episode. This time I am with Gregg Gassmann of many podcasts: Popeular History (that's Popular with an "e"), Pontifacts, and Cardinal Numbers. You won't find a bigger Pope aficionado than Gregg. Gregg and I discuss the papal conclave of May 2025. You can find Gregg's podcasts at https://www.popeularhistory.com/ and https://pontifacts.podbean.com/. Yes, we are rather late in getting this show out, but sometimes life gets in the way.
2025-08-171h 03Popeular History: A Catholic History of the WorldAD 79: Habemus Pointsam! From Linus to AnacletusIt'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.

From Peter to LinusIt'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?

History of the Papacy PodcastPope Francis Unfiltered: Legacy of a Disruptor PopePope Francis has reposed, and the Church now turns to his legacy. In this second part of our tribute, Steve is once again joined by Greg Gassman of the Popeular History Podcast (popeularhistory.com) to unpack the full arc of Pope Francis’ time on the throne of St. Peter. From early humility in the Casa Santa Marta to bold global moves on war, synodality, and women in church leadership, we analyze a pontificate defined by contradiction, compassion, and courage. How did Francis challenge the office of pope while redefining what it means to be the Bishop of Rome? And ho...

From his early life in Buenos Aires to his unlikely rise to the papacy, we explore the formation of a pontiff who would challenge tradition, embrace the margins, and reshape the tone of the Catholic Church.What did Francis’ past reveal about the path he would take?

Welcome to Popeular History, History through Pope-colored glasses. My name is Gregg.
As you know, Pope Francis passed away yesterday, and the Catholic Church is in a period of transition. I spoke about my podcast plans for the present sede vacante yesterday, so if you want more on that look there. Today I’d like to talk a bit about Pope Francis.

Thanks to all you listeners, and to those who have supported me through the years and especially through this most recent hiatus. Also thanks to Marco of the Storia d’Italia podcast (https://italiastoria.com/) for giving authenticity to the Italian quote–which, incidentally, I believe I mistranslated somewhat: It’s normally rendered as “when one Pope dies, we make another”, giving additional bluntness to the meaning.

2024-07-011h 20Popeular History: A Catholic History of the World4th Anniversary Special (and return from hiatus!)TRANSCRIPT
Good evening, Happy Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, and welcome back to Popeular History! That’s right, we’re officially off hiatus, starting next week you can expect a short Cardinal Numbers episode every Saturday and a longer Popeular History worldbuilding episode every month. As I continue to get a feel for the rhythms of family life that seems like a doable schedule, especially since most of the work for the remainder of the year is already done. Alleluia!
I also have some special stuff for you today. First off, I want to wish...

TRANSCRIPT
Hello everyone, Welcome to Popeular History, or to Cardinal Numbers, whichever feed you happen to be listening to! The good news, as you can infer from that first sentence, is the separate feed for Cardinal Numbers is back live well ahead of schedule! The bad news is it's because I forgot I had it set to auto-renew and it was absolutely not worked into Popeular History's *extremely* modest budget. Which means it's time for an emergency fundraiser! That little whoopsie set me back $108, aka $9/mo for a year, s...

Good evening everyone,
Just a quick update, the next couple episodes will be the next few promised installments in the big timeline project, episodes of which are now marked with a latin cross at the beginning of the episode name to make them easily identifiable, now including all such episodes released so far.

Now, as much as I like reassuring folks that I haven't died, I do hate cluttering my feed with episodes whose purpose is mainly to apologize for delay, so I’ve decided not to do that. I'd rather just focus on all the Catholic history this show is here for.

In this special bonus episode, we are joined by Gregg of the Popeular History podcast, to explore and review many things that this event inspired. We'll discuss sources, paintings, music, musicals, and more!

PONTIFACTS: Ranking the Popes113. FormosusWe're back!!! (Note: this episode was recorded BEFORE our hiatus)
Formosus is one of the most famous popes in history, though not for anything he actually did in life. But this episode will be about his life anyways! In his episode, we'll have a look at his dramatic pre-pope career, the state of the Eastern Church and Holy Roman Empire, and the summer of George.
Please join us in giving a warm welcome to our new editor, Gregg Gassman, of Popeular History and Cardinal Numbers!

PONTIFACTS: Ranking the PopesCrossover: Will Pope Francis Retire in 2022? with Popeular HistoryGiven that Pontifacts remains in unexpected hiatus, Bry was invited by Gregg of the Popeular History Podcast to discuss his favourite (and Bry's LEAST favourite) theory about Pope Francis!
In this episode, Gregg and Bry discuss Francis's attitude and commentary about retirement, the Apostolic Constitution, the College of Cardinals, and the one thing they both fervently agree on - their top pick for the next pope!
