The 7 Best Popes In The History Of The Catholic Church | The Catholic Talk Show

The story of Pope Saint Leo the great flipping out on Attila the Hun and telling him not to step foot in Rome is my favorite. When asked by his generals why he agreed, Attila said that as Leo spoke, Saint Peter ( he didn’t know it was Saint Peter ) hovered above him with a flaming sword with a look like he was going to strike if Attila didn’t agree 😉🙏🏻👍

[@suzieq0452]

You think a Pope who invites every Heretic and Pagan to Perform their Rites upon the Holy Altar of Christ in Assisi ,orders all Statues and Crucifixes to be COVERED, so not to Offend Heretics and Pagans,is the Best Pope in your Lifetime?? You think he is a Saint in the Company of Christ? He was a great Pretender of Keeping the Faith. He was the first to drag the Catholic Church into the confusion of Today. I have Higher Standards for the Pope who sits on the Throne of Peter. Not a Servant of Satan who MOCKS everything Catholic and SPITS in the Face of Christ. The Blessed Mother warned that the Betrayal to the Church would being with a POPE, JP II had the most years to gnaw at the Foundations of the Church and Francis has just about gnawed through the Pillars of the Church. May Christ have Mercy on the Vatican II Blind Sheep, who have been Led on the WIDE Path to Hell by Pretenders to Saint Peter's Throne.

[@stpetric]

FWIW, the pronunciation "pap-uh-see" drives me nuts! "Pay-puh-see" sounds much better to my ear.

[@virginiacharlotte7007]

stpetric . Agreed. I am afraid that “pap-uh-see” sounds too much like a feminine medical procedure to my ears...and technically, the spelling would require a double ‘p’ at the end of the first syllable to be pronounced in the way it is on this show. :/

[@remediosquintos25]

Pap-uh-see is the right pronunciation from the term habemos papam.

[@Perririri]

Stop using abbreviations nobody understands! This is not Twitter

[@deutschermichel5807]

​In Latin, the letter A is always pronounced the same way. So the _uh_ in pap-uh-cy should be pronounced like the first syllable. But this isnʼt Latin. In English, it is totally fine to say pay-puh-cy

[@davenportourladyofvictoryy6256]

So, random, fun historical note, 5 star general means General of the Army. 6 stars means General of the Armies. John "Black Jack" Pershing was ALSO promoted to the rank of General of the Armies in order to lead the entire AEF in WW1. In order to give him this 6th star, and not violate the law that Washington must always be the highest ranked general, I believe they awarded Washington a posthumous 7th star.

I just read an article by him in Crisis Magazine.

[@anthonyswierzbinski2945]

Great episode, except for I have to disagree with almost every word that was spoken about Vatican II. The fruits of Vatican II have been a precipitous decline of priests and religious, lack of reverence for the Mass and Eucharist, Catholics not knowing their faith, lack of belief and understanding in the truths of the Church, etc etc etc. That is the "spirit" of Vatican II- trying to take everything that was strong and beautiful about Catholicism and watering it down to make it palatable to people of the 1970s. We can see where that has gotten us today...

The general comments about Pope Leo the Great and Atilla the Huhn are greatly appreciated. However, I think that Pope Leo meeting Atilla "at the gates" of Rome may be a little exaggerated. I understand that they met at Mantua, which is 294 miles from Rome.

[@michaelbaker2552]

Sadly, Pope Francis will never come close to being on such a list; some days I have trouble believing he is a Catholic!

Disagree. Francis is alive, only when the Popes pass away, then people start missing them and realising how many virtues these pastors had. Francis is the Pope of the charity.

That's a big nothing-burger, but I would like to see a clarification as to why so many people are going off their rockers about it. If you watch the video with any cultural frame of reference, it's easy to tell that it's just a prayer circle. They're looking UP to God during the actual prayer. The items on the blanket included pictures of a martyred nun among other items of faith. The "Pachamama" statue is merely a cultural symbol, like Santa Claus or something. Protestants don't pray to St. Nicholas, you know. I swear, these pearl-clutching lunatics are doing more damage to the Church than they could ever know. God bless Pope Francis, and God bless the Catholic Church! P.S. I will say, I don't like the idea of married clergy, if you're referring to ideas that were brought up for more easily distributing Sacraments to the faithful in the Amazon, but there's nothing blasphemous about floating the possibility. Clerical celibacy is a valued tradition, but it's not explicitly dogmatic, as I'm sure you know.
