Go over to Parthenon Podcast.com to learn more.

I'd like to quickly mention, as usual, we are on Patreon, and Patreon is an excellent way to support the show. There's four tiers, and each tier has different benefits. But overall, the greatest benefit to you is that you are

included on the history of the papacy diphtics, which in traditional Christianity is the list of

bishops in order of their precedent.

So if you want to be higher on the list, sign up earlier.

Now let us commemorate the Patreon patrons on the history of the papacy diphtics.

We have Roberto, Yorin, William, Brian, Jeffrey, Christina, John, and Sarah at the Alexandria level.

We have Doppel, Justin, and Lana, all of whom are magnificent at the Constantinople level,

and reaching that ultimate power and prestige, that of the Sea of Rome, we have Peter the Great.

Today, I would like to also welcome our newest patron and a huge shout

out and thank you to W. Stephen Bryant at the Antioch level. Thank you so much for your support.
