À propos de cet audio

 With white smoke clearing and history made, our coverage now follows Robert Francis Prevost—the first American ever elected pope—as he begins his reign as Pope Leo XIV.
Our daily bulletins track this unprecedented pontificate from his first blessing to his installation mass, analyzing how this Chicago-born, Peru-naturalized former Vatican insider will lead 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide.

What does his choice of the name "Leo" signal? How will his two decades in Latin America shape his global vision? Will he extend Francis's inclusive approach or chart a new course blending American pragmatism with Latin American experience?

As he confronts declining Western attendance, explosive growth in the Global South, and calls for reform, WHITE SMOKE delivers essential daily insights into this pivotal moment when ancient tradition meets modern challenge under unexpected but historic leadership.

Join us for daily episodes wherever you get your podcasts.

Our series will now document the crucial early days of this pontificate as the new Holy Father establishes the tone and direction of his leadership. We'll examine:

The significance of his chosen papal name and what it signals about his priorities and vision

His first address from the loggia of Saint Peter's Basilica and the themes he emphasizes

The ceremonial mass where he'll formally begin his ministry

The composition of his initial leadership appointments and Vatican restructuring

His first audiences with world leaders and initial diplomatic engagements

Early indications of whether he'll continue Pope Francis's path of greater inclusion or chart a different course

We'll bring you exclusive interviews with Vatican insiderstheological experts, and ordinary Catholics from around the world reacting to this historic transition.

From the elaborate installation ceremonies to the first major decisions of this pontificate, we'll provide context for understanding these ancient traditions alongside the very modern challenges facing Catholicism today: declining attendance in Western nations, growth in the Global South, ongoing abuse scandals, calls for doctrinal reform, and the Church's role in global crises.

Join us as we witness the beginning of this new chapter in the world's oldest continuously functioning institution and explore what it means for Catholics and non-Catholics alike in our rapidly changing world.Caloroga Shark Media Christianisme Pastorale et évangélisme Politique Spiritualité

    19. The Underground Bishops - Leading During Persecution
    Jul 13 2025
    For two centuries, popes led a forbidden faith from the shadows of the Roman Empire. This episode explores how bishops like Telesphorus, Anicetus, and Callistus maintained church cohesion despite imperial persecution, navigating both external threats and internal theological conflicts. From Telesphorus's martyrdom to the baptismal controversies under Stephen I, these underground leaders created administrative and doctrinal frameworks that would prepare the church for its eventual emergence from the catacombs.

    18. The Shadowy Succession - Peter's Immediate Heirs
    Jul 6 2025
    In the twilight of first-century Rome, the early papacy emerges as a historical mystery. This episode examines the contested evidence surrounding Peter's immediate successors – Linus, Anacletus, and Clement – whose leadership established the foundations of papal succession amid persecution and uncertainty. Archaeological discoveries, contradictory ancient lists, and later hagiographies reveal both the fragility and resilience of Christianity's earliest leadership structure as it evolved from charismatic movement to institutional church.
