EPISODE 3: Popes

Anne and Stephanie attempt to tackle the 2000+ year history that is the Catholic Papacy.  Stephanie explains how her Catholic grandma once tore all the family photos off the walls and replaced them with a letter from the Pope. Anne describes how her Catholic grandma once got pranked by a priest impersonating a Cardinal. Disney’s The Little Mermaid somehow comes up again.

This week’s episode contains brief references to enslavement, genocide, sexual assault, and homophobia.

COLLECTION BASKET: This week we invite you to support women’s health and bodily autonomy with a donation to Planned Parenthood.
