“This podcast is good for what it is. But if you’re looking for a history of the Papacy, or the Catholic Church more broadly, look elsewhere. Any given episode, you might be talking about Nestorian missionaries in China, or Gnostics, or the Protestant Reformation, or the Russian Orthodox Church. Or maybe a Pope. You never know, he’s all over the place. It would be better titled “An extremely unorganized history of Christianity”. An it is very unorganized. Popes of the early Middle Ages one week, Martin Luther the next, maybe an episode on how Revelation fits into the Jewish apocalyptic tradition the one after that. Maybe an interview with a modern non-Catholic clergyman for...some reason. I got through maybe half the episodes and quit listening. It was just too scattershot for me. There was no consistent narrative at all. Even when he had maybe 6-8 episodes on a unified topic, they’d be interspersed with three different side tracks, none of them at all related to the main topic. It was really frustrating, not least because the information in any individual episode was usually pretty good, there was just no coherence to the podcast overall.”

“Mr. Guerra has a total grasp on all of related church history and tells the story of the papacy in a compelling style through the prism of the politics and culture in which it has evolved.”
