Today we are joined again by author and historian John Dickie to talk about the Freemasons and how the secret societies changed the politics of Europe.

Reactionary leaders, reactionary popes, papal jiujitsu and much more will be the topic of today’s episode. We will see how Europe was fundamentally broken and needed to be changed after Napoleon, but not everyone, including the Popes, didn’t want to recognize the fact the status quo couldn’t be started over.

Today we are joined for a third time by Will Clark, host of The Grey History Podcast. That’s grey with an “e.” In Grey History, Will discusses how history is not black and white, good guys and bad guys. The French Revolution is a great example of history being in the gray area. In this episode, Will and I will look at the motivations and incentives of the actors in the Church and revolutionary Fre...

Will and I will look at the French Revolution and what role the Church had in the Revolution. This is a more complicated topic that it appears. There was fabulously wealthy clergy and poor clergy. There was up and coming clergy and there were entrenched clergy. Each of these groups had their own incentives and goals. Let’s explore them.

The papacy almost wasn’t. In the last years of the 18th century, the entire idea of the Popes of Rome as leaders of the Roman Catholic Church was down to its very last chip and was a close as you could possibly get to walking away from the table.

This episode is the beginning of the end. The end of the Middle Ages that is. Every scholar arranges the historical phases or eras of the papacy in slightly different ways. I’m no scholar, but I want to get in the game anyway. I made a case for the Papacy having an incredibly long phase that lasted from 752 to 1878. In this series we are going to explore why that Middle Ages era definitively ended...
