    History of the Papacy Podcast

    This show will detail the biographies and interesting facts of the Papacy of Rome. It will start in the beginning, but will not go straight through. There will be many side tracks and detours along the way. We will investigate the backstreets of the Papacy where the tour normally doesn’t go. Support this show

    Papal Vault – 3 First Council of Nicaea: Arius of Alexandria Nov 07, 2026
    Show notes

    This Papal Vault episode introduces Arius of Alexandria, the priest whose name became attached to one of the most consequential controversies in early Christian history. Today, we separate Arius the man from the later meaning of “Arianism,” tracing his Libyan background, Antiochene influences, popularity in Alexandria, hymns, supporters, enemies, and role at the Council of Nicaea. The episode shows Arius not simply as the “king of the heretics,” but as a skilled communicator whose ideas shook the church and empire long after Nicaea tried to settle the matter.

    The Original Church in the Age of AI: James Papandrea on Truth and Tradition Oct 30, 2026

    Papal Vault - 2 First Council of Nicaea: Meletius of Lycopolis Oct 24, 2026
    Show notes

    This Papal Vault episode looks at Meletius of Lycopolis, the Egyptian bishop whose power struggle with Alexandria helped create one of the major administrative problems addressed at the First Council of Nicaea. Steve explains how Meletius’ unauthorized ordinations, hardline position toward lapsed Christians, and accidental connection to Arius turned a local church dispute into a council-level crisis. The episode shows that Nicaea was not only about theology, but also about authority, church order, and the growing overlap between Christian politics and imperial power.
