Podcast appearances and mentions of Sistine Chapel

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – Our elementary Latin teacher returned from Italy captivated by the Sistine Chapel's soaring beauty, reminding us that humans are drawn to transcendence. Classical Christian education nurtures this innate appreciation through art, music, mathematics and nature, revealing divine proportions like the golden ratio in architecture, DNA helices and sunflowers. Beauty, truth and goodness form a cornerstone.

When the white smoke billowed from the Sistine Chapel chimney Thursday evening, Fr. Roger Landry, like millions around the world, waited to see who among the 133 cardinals had just become the 267th successor to St. Peter. He knew to listen for the Latin version of the Cardinal's birth name in order to translate to a media outlet. He knew there were only four Cardinals with the first name Robert. But he was listening for "Petrus", thinking that getting white smoke on the fourth ballot of the conclave must mean that the frontrunner, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's Secretary of State, had secured the needed two thirds vote. But instead, he heard Robertus... And he was shocked! This is the drama that unfolded in St. Peter's Square as tens of thousands packed into the piazza and the Via della Consilizione, cheered as the Basilicas bells peeled with joy knowing Habemus Papem, "We have a Pope!" On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast coming to you from Rome, Italy, Fr. Landry, the National Director of Pontifical Missions Societies USA, talks about that moment when he realized the first American born pope had just been elected. The former Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, surprised the world. Who is he? Why did he impress the electors so thoroughly? Fr. Landry has insights and predictions about this American made pontiff who truly is more citizen of the world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

History is made as Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of Chicago becomes Pope Leo the 14th—the first American ever elected to the papacy. This episode covers his background, from Villanova University to missionary work in Peru and leadership roles in the Vatican. We dive into the papal conclave's decision-making process, the emphasis on unity and faith over politics, and global reactions to this groundbreaking moment. Hear about the Pope's first mass in the Sistine Chapel and his call for the Church to walk together as a community of believers.

A new pope has been chosen! As the recording of this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast" began, white smoke emerged from the Sistine Chapel, signaling the selection of the first American pope. Glenn and Bishop Joseph Strickland react live to the news as the whole world wonders if Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, will continue in the ways of his predecessor Pope Francis or go a more traditional route. Bishop Strickland, who was removed from office by Pope Francis, says the former pope pushed a church “in the world and of the world” and reviews “duplicity,” “corruption,” and potential abuse overlooked by the Vatican, including the infamous McCarrick scandal. The pair discuss the resurgence of the Latin Mass, globalism, the Catholic Church's approach to homosexuality and gender identity, and whether the Shroud of Turin is an “icon” or a “relic.” As the new pope greets the world, Glenn asks, “If we have a more progressive pope, does that set the Church back?” Bishop Strickland advises that “even if we are disappointed and dismayed,” we must pray and keep our focus on God.     GLENN'S SPONSORS      Relief Factor             Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!

Friends of the Rosary,Yesterday, Pope Leo XIV celebrated his first mass as successor of Peter with the Cardinals in Rome, in the Sistine Chapel, where he was elected as the 267th Pope on the fourth ballot Thursday afternoon.In his heartfelt homily, the new Pope called for always better cultivating a personal relationship with Christ and insisted that life lacks meaning without faith.“We are called to bear witness to our joyful faith in Christ the Saviour.”“My brother Cardinals, I invite you to reflect on the marvels the Lord has done, the blessings that the Lord continues to pour out on all of us through the Ministry of Peter.”“Our Saviour alone reveals the face of the Father.”“God, to make Himself close and accessible to men and women, revealed Himself to us in the trusting eyes of a child, in the lively mind of a young person, and in the mature features of a man, finally appearing to His disciples after the Resurrection with His glorious body.”“He showed us a model of human holiness that we can all imitate, together with the promise of an eternal destiny that transcends all our limits and abilities.”“He chose us before we were formed in our mothers' wombs, reborn in the waters of Baptism and, surpassing our limitations and with no merit of our own, brought here and sent forth from here, so that the Gospel might be proclaimed to every creature.”“Even today, there are many settings in which the Christian faith is considered absurd, meant for the weak and unintelligent. Settings where other securities are preferred, like technology, money, success, power, or pleasure.”“These are contexts where it is not easy to preach the Gospel and bear witness to its truth, where believers are mocked, opposed, despised, or at best tolerated and pitied.”“Yet, precisely for this reason, they are the places where our missionary outreach is desperately needed.”“A lack of faith is often tragically accompanied by the loss of meaning in life, the neglect of mercy, appalling violations of human dignity, the crisis of the family, and so many other wounds that afflict our society.”“There are many settings in which Jesus, although appreciated as a man, is reduced to a kind of charismatic leader or superman.”“Not only among non-believers but also among many baptized Christians end up living, at this level, in a state of practical atheism.”“This is the world entrusted to us, a world in which, as Pope Francis taught us so many times, we are called to bear witness to our joyful faith in Christ the Saviour.”“Therefore, it is essential that we repeat, with Peter: ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”“It is essential to do this, first of all, in our personal relationship with the Lord, in our commitment to a ‘daily journey of conversion.”“Then as a Church, we are to do the same, experiencing together our fidelity to the Lord and bringing the Good News to all.”“I say this first of all to myself, as the Successor of Peter, as I begin my mission as Bishop of Rome, according to the well-known expression of Saint Ignatius of Antioch, ‘to preside in charity over the universal Church.”“May God grant me this grace, today and always, through the loving intercession of Mary, Mother of the Church.”Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

It was an election that seems to have been faster than that of his predecessor, or at least as fast, since Francis had been elected in the sixth round on the second day. It once again took two days and five or six votes to elect the 267th Pope in history, and the first American Pope. At 6:08 p.m., white smoke rose above the roof of the Sistine Chapel, announcing to the crowd gathered in St. Peter's Square that the Church had a new Pope. But it wasn't until 7:12 p.m. that Cardinal Dominique Mamberti appeared on the Loggia and proclaimed the expected formula: "Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum: Habemus papam" (I announce to you a great joy, we have a (new) pope), Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, who took the name Leo XIV. The new Roman Pontiff then stepped forward to pronounce his first Urbi et Orbi blessing. He began with a short speech in which he expressed his desire to promote a synodal Church. Born on September 14, 1955, in Chicago, he is 69 years old and an American citizen. He entered the Order of Saint Augustine in 1977 and made his perpetual profession in 1981. He was ordained a priest on June 19, 1982. He served as Prior General of the Augustinians from 2001 to 2013. He was appointed Bishop of Chiclayo, Peru, in 2014, a position he would hold until 2023. Since January 30, 2023, he has been Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. On September 30, 2023, he was created Cardinal Deacon of Santa Monica, before being elevated to the title of Cardinal Bishop of Albano on February 6, 2025. The question that arises, for those who wish to move beyond the emotion of the moment, is, "What will be the future of the Church in the Pontificate that is just beginning?" In 2013, only a small number of clergymen and Vaticanists who knew Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio from Argentina expressed any serious apprehension about his election. Thanks to the website "Cardinium Collegii recensio," it is possible to find out what each cardinal has said or written on sensitive issues such as the ordination of women to the diaconate, the blessing of same-sex couples, the option of priestly celibacy, the restriction of the traditional Mass, the agreement between China and the Vatican, and the promotion of a synodal Church. Regarding the new Pope, he declared that "the clericalization of women" would not solve the problems of the Catholic Church. He insisted, stating that "the apostolic tradition is something that has been very clearly stated, especially when we are talking about the issue of the ordination of women to the priesthood." However, he pointed out that Pope Francis recently appointed Sister Simona Brambilla Prefect of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. He commented: "I think it will continue to be recognized that women can contribute a great deal to the life of the Church at various levels." Regarding the blessing of same-sex couples, he presented somewhat ambiguous formulations. However, he appears to be a fervent supporter of the synodal Church. As reported above, he expressed his support for this idea from the loggia. The speed of the election suggests that it was a compromise election. There were so many divisions among the cardinals who entered the conclave that it may have been necessary to consider promoting a compromise cardinal. On the other hand, the choice of Leo XIV as a name may reflect a desire to move beyond the period that began with John XXIII. But ultimately, more about this new Pope will be discovered when he is at work, beginning with the appointments to head the various Roman dicasteries. Let us pray for the new Sovereign...

It takes a lot to rip the news cycle away from President Donald Trump. But yesterday, that's precisely what happened. Shortly after the president unveiled a major new trade deal with the U.K. — something the White House was eager to shine attention on — white smoke billowed from the Sistine Chapel's chimney. Meet the new pope: Chicago-born Robert Francis Prevost, now known as Pope Leo XIV. And just as soon as his name was uttered, he was dragged into a partisan battle over his real or imagined personal politics. POLITICO national political correspondent Adam Wren joins Playbook deputy editor Zack Stanton to discuss.

Pope Leo XIV, in his first Mass as pontiff at the Sistine Chapel, urged Catholics to be a light in the darkness and focus on faith over material things. As excitement builds across churches in the U.S., cardinals are reflecting on the historic moment. For the second time in two weeks, radar screens guiding planes into Newark Airport went dark without warning, leaving air traffic controllers unable to see or speak with incoming flights. CBS News has obtained video of the new head of FEMA, Marine David Richardson, addressing an all-hands meeting where he warned staff not to get in his way.

Send us a text by clicking this link!LANGUAGE WARNINGThe Catholic world has witnessed a seismic shift with the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff in history. In this riveting conversation, Tim Gordon joins Anthony and Rob to dissect what this unexpected papal selection truly means for the faithful.From the moment white smoke billowed over the Sistine Chapel after just four ballots, something extraordinary was happening. Despite media speculation focusing on candidates like Cardinals Sarah, Parolin, and Tagle, it was the relatively unknown Cardinal Robert Prevost who emerged as Pope. But was this truly a surprise? Tim Gordon's prescient analysis suggests otherwise.We explore the fascinating connections between Pope Leo XIV and key figures from the Francis pontificate, including Cardinals Cupich and Maradiaga. The discussion reveals how the Sankt Gallen group's influence persists through a new generation, orchestrating what appears to be a carefully planned continuation of Francis's vision—albeit with a more traditional presentation.The symbolism is striking: a Pope who steps onto the loggia in full traditional papal regalia while simultaneously emphasizing synodality and progressive themes in his first address. This duality creates a compelling narrative of a pontificate that may offer liturgical concessions to traditionalists while firmly maintaining the doctrinal direction established under Francis. What makes this transition particularly fascinating is the new Pope's American background. As Tim points out, Pope Leo XIV understands the American Catholic media landscape in ways Francis never could, potentially positioning him to navigate and neutralize resistance more effectively than his predecessor.For faithful Catholics wrestling with these developments, this conversation offers invaluable perspective on maintaining faith during ecclesiastical turbulence. Rather than succumbing to despair or false hope, the hosts advocate for steadfast commitment to Catholic practice while remaining clear-eyed about the challenges ahead.Whatever your position on recent Church developments, this thoughtful analysis provides essential context for understanding what may be one of the most consequential papal transitions of our lifetime.

As the world held its breath, the Cardinals of the Catholic Church elevated a man to the position of “holy father”, yet the Lord Jesus Christ instructed his followers to “call no man father”. The Catholic Church lives up to the scriptural description of AntiChrist and Man of Sin with this latest conclave. The protestant world has stopped protesting, but the scripture is clear on the inevitable future of this system that has gone astray from the Bible. 

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Pope Leo XIV, history's first North American pope, has celebrated his first Mass as pontiff, presiding in the Sistine Chapel with the cardinals who elected him to succeed Pope Francis.

International media authenticates Pakistan's claims of downing Indian Jets "Militaries worldwide will closely scrutinise a dogfight between China-made Pakistani jets and France-made Indian Rafale fighters, seeking insights that could give them an edge in future conflicts. A Chinese-made Pakistani fighter jet shot down at least two Indian military aircraft on Wednesday, two US officials confirmed, marking a potential major milestone for Beijing's advanced jet. Pakistan has claimed to have downed at least five Indian jets, including three Rafales, in a battle involving a reported thirty Pakistani and seventy Indian fighter aircraft. Reuters and BBC have authenticated multiple videos that appear to support Pakistan's claim." Israel dropped 100,000 tons of explosives over Gaza "Authorities in Gaza have said that Israel has dropped a hundred thousand tonnes of explosives on Gaza since launching its genocide nineteen months ago, killing or leaving missing over sixty-two thousand Palestinians and committing more than twelve thousand massacres. Israel completely erased over two thousand two hundred families from civil registries. The campaign also targeted cemeteries, with Israeli forces stealing two thousand three hundred bodies from Gaza graves and establishing seven mass graves inside hospitals, five hundred twenty-nine of whom have been recovered so far. " JD Vance says India-Pakistan conflict 'fundamentally none of our business' "US Vice President JD Vance has said that Washington wanted to see a ""de-escalation"" in a worsening conflict between India and Pakistan, but that it was ""fundamentally none of our business."" Vance, who has been a proponent of US disengagement from international conflicts, said that the US is not going to get involved in the middle of a war and has nothing to do with America's ability to control it." Trump reportedly cuts ties with Netanyahu over 'manipulation' concerns "US President Donald Trump has decided to cut off direct contact with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to Israeli media, Trump made the decision after close associates told Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer that the president believes that Netanyahu is manipulating him." Robert Francis Prevost becomes first American Pope "Robert Francis Prevost has been elected the first pope from the United States. A moderate who was close to Pope Francis and spent years as a missionary in Peru, he became the Catholic Church's 267th pontiff, taking the papal name Leo fourteen. Cardinals chose a new pope to lead the world's 1.4 billion Catholics, sending up white smoke from the Sistine Chapel on their second day of voting in conclave."

What does it feel like when the eyes of the world turn to the Sistine Chapel, as everyone waits for white smoke? In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob explore the sacred mystery—and human drama—of a papal conclave. But first: baseball, astronauts, Marvel movies, and pierogies.   Father Dave shares a powerful conversation with retired astronaut and U.S. Air Force General Kevin P. Chilton, who received the Eucharist in space. The hosts also discuss the lesser-known fact that Buzz Aldrin took communion on the moon, blending space exploration with sacred devotion.   Meanwhile, Deacon Bob reflects on being left out of both that interview and a May the 4th Star Wars-themed baseball game (yes, stormtroopers and all), and offers a spoiler-free review of Marvel's new film Thunderbolts.   The hosts unpack the process of the papal conclave, exploring how the Holy Spirit leads (without micromanaging) the selection of a pope. They also respond to the controversial AI-generated image of Donald Trump dressed as pope—shared by official White House social media—and call for reverence during this pivotal moment in Church history. As always, the episode blends solemnity with laughter—from memories of first Communions and unforgettable Masses to hot takes on sports, politics, and pilgrimage.  Resources Mentioned  In Person interview with Astronaut Kevin Chilton – Faith and Reason  The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty  “Buzz Aldrin Took Holy Communion on the Moon.
