“CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION”

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode, our founder Joshua Charles inaugurates a new “mini-series” called “Papal Snapshots.” Each Papal Snapshot will examine one story, document, or quote from the ancient Church, and unpack what it reveals about the nature and extent of papal authority.

This first Papal Snapshot covers the remarkable acknowledgement of papal authority in the mid-300s by an ancient pagan historian, Ammianus Marcellinus. His account not only mentions the higher authority of the Pope without further comment, but discusses the acknowledgement of this authority by the Roman Emperor Constantius as well in the midst of the Arian crisis.
