About this episode
Why is it that the Church seems to thrive the most when it has the least temporal power and is persecuted the greatest? In continuation of the series on Catholicism & Politics, Justin Hibbard explores three times where the Catholic Church’s power and prominence led to disunity and evil atrocities. Why is there a correlation of power and corruption, and what are the principles of the upside down Kingdom of Heaven?
