267. Leo XIV and the Legacy of the Papacy 2n2y41

In this episode, host Jared Luttjeboer finishes the conversation on the papacy with Dr. Alan Strange and Dr. Andrew Compton as they unpack the significance of the newly elected Pope, who, for the first time, hails from just down the road from Mid-America Reformed Seminary. Their conversation explores how this moment intersects with centuries of Reformed thought (from the fiery language of the Westminster Confession to the more nuanced tone of today), and looks at the symbolism behind the Pope's chosen name, Leo XIV, and what it signals about his vision for the Church. The episode also explores the evolving dynamics between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, the role of social media in shaping perceptions of religious leaders, and the enduring theological divides that remain. t4p6y
