History of the Papacy Podcast

Description: In this episode, we will discuss two commonly held views. Firstly, that Italy and Western Europe were the cradle of Latin Christianity. Secondly, that Northern Africa never held a significant Christian population. We’re going to explore both of these ideas in this episode. The history of the Popes of Rome and Christian Church encompasses so much more than just Italy and Western Europe. This Sidetrack episode will be the starting point on a journey where we will travel to exotic destinations to find out more about lesser known bits of Church history.You can learn more about the History of Papacy and subscribe at all these great places:A to Z History PageiTunes Stitcher RadioTune In RadioRSS FeedAcast Page Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/historyofthepapacy.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Description: The story of Priscillian carries on with our theme of lesser known figures in Church history, who should be better known. Priscillian raised many interesting questions that cut to the heart of Christianity. Priscillian questioned the role of personal connection to scripture, asceticism and the relationship with the hierarchy and civil authorities. Priscillian will wade into the heated debate of the role of the State in religion, but his story will not have a happy ending. You can learn more about the History of Papacy and subscribe at all these great places:A to Z History PageiTunesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

These groups were looking to plug into the economic, military and cultural institutions the Roman Empire had to offer. Religion was another way for outside groups to integrate into the Roman Empire.

Travis and Steve review the background of Gothic Christianity and preview the interaction of the Germans and Church in the aftermath of the fall of the Western Roman Empire.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
