A historic chapter begins in the Catholic Church as Cardinal Robert F. Prevost, a Chicago-born American, becomes Pope Leo XIV, marking the first time in history that the papacy has crossed the Atlantic. Beyond the ceremonial awe and international celebration, deep tensions now face the new pontiff: modernist leadership versus a growing traditionalist laity. We’ll see the symbolic, political, and theological significance of Pope Leo XIV’s election, the Vatican’s financial strategies, and the global rise of religious re-traditionalization.
In the second part of this episode, we dive deep into Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s “Less Generals, More GIs” policy and what it means for the future of U.S. military readiness. With my guest, Lt. Col. (Ret.) R. Davis Younts, we explore the bloated command structure, the historical shift in officer-to-troop ratios, and whether these reforms go far enough to restore efficiency, morale, and operational strength in our armed forces.

2:19.7 | Now, it's very interesting the fact that he is from the United States. |
2:24.8 | That does suggest that we, let's just say the conclave was concerned about, shall we say, rather practical matters, not particularly |
2:37.5 | theological. There is a theological element here that we're going to get to in a moment, |
