The Final Pope?! Mysterious PROPHECY Revealed | Fr. Altman
26:03||Season 6, Ep. 442As the conclave nears, John-Henry and Fr. James Altman explore the chilling prophecy of Peter the Roman—St. Malachy’s final pope, said to reign during the Church’s ultimate trial. Could this prophecy be unfolding now? They examine rising papal contender Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, and whether the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem could fulfill the chilling prophecy of Peter the Roman, the final pope listed in St. Malachy’s alleged vision. With Pizzaballa's roots in the Holy Land, his growing visibility, and the Church in deep crisis, the parallels are hard to ignore. The hosts explore what this prophecy could mean, whether it’s unfolding now, and why the next pope could lead the Church through its greatest trial yet.U.S. residents!

Hell Is REAL, and Many CHOOSE It | Monsignor Pope
47:27||Season 6, Ep. 440Monsignor Charles Pope delivers a sobering warning: hell is real, and ignoring its existence is harming the Church. Drawing from Scripture, tradition, and his new book The Hell There Is, Msgr. Pope explains how false mercy, presumption, and a trivialized view of God have emptied parishes and robbed souls of salvation. God respects human freedom—even when it leads to eternal separation from Him. Heaven and hell are real, with degrees of reward and punishment. Priests and bishops must recover the courage to preach the Four Last Things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell.
