With white smoke clearing and history made, our coverage now follows Robert Francis Prevost—the first American ever elected pope—as he begins his reign as Pope Leo XIV.
Our daily bulletins track this unprecedented pontificate from his first blessing to his installation mass, analyzing how this Chicago-born, Peru-naturalized former Vatican insider will lead 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide.

What does his choice of the name "Leo" signal? How will his two decades in Latin America shape his global vision? Will he extend Francis's inclusive approach or chart a new course blending American pragmatism with Latin American experience?

As he confronts declining Western attendance, explosive growth in the Global South, and calls for reform, WHITE SMOKE delivers essential daily insights into this pivotal moment when ancient tradition meets modern challenge under unexpected but historic leadership.

Join us for daily episodes wherever you get your podcasts.

Our series will now document the crucial early days of this pontificate as the new Holy Father establishes the tone and direction of his leadership. We'll examine:

The significance of his chosen papal name and what it signals about his priorities and vision

His first address from the loggia of Saint Peter's Basilica and the themes he emphasizes

The ceremonial mass where he'll formally begin his ministry

The composition of his initial leadership appointments and Vatican restructuring

His first audiences with world leaders and initial diplomatic engagements

Early indications of whether he'll continue Pope Francis's path of greater inclusion or chart a different course

We'll bring you exclusive interviews with Vatican insiderstheological experts, and ordinary Catholics from around the world reacting to this historic transition.

From the elaborate installation ceremonies to the first major decisions of this pontificate, we'll provide context for understanding these ancient traditions alongside the very modern challenges facing Catholicism today: declining attendance in Western nations, growth in the Global South, ongoing abuse scandals, calls for doctrinal reform, and the Church's role in global crises.

Join us as we witness the beginning of this new chapter in the world's oldest continuously functioning institution and explore what it means for Catholics and non-Catholics alike in our rapidly changing world.Caloroga Shark Media Cristianismo Espiritualidad Ministerio y Evangelismo Política y Gobierno

    24. The Attack
    Aug 17 2025
    On a crisp April morning in 799, Pope Leo III walked through the streets of Rome leading a religious procession when armed men suddenly burst from the crowd, threw him to the ground, and attempted to gouge out his eyes and slice off his tongue. This brutal assault left Leo bleeding and unconscious, but it would paradoxically lead to the greatest expansion of papal authority in centuries. This episode explores how personal attack became political transformation, setting the stage for the creation of the Holy Roman Empire.

    Madonna asks Pope Leo to visit Gaza
    Aug 14 2025
    Madonna has penned an emotional appeal to Pope Leo, urging the religious leader to make a pastoral journey to Gaza amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis. The pop superstar shared her plea through social media on Monday, as the conflict between Israeli forces and Hamas continues to escalate.
    In her open letter, Madonna wrote, "Your Holiness, I implore you to travel to Gaza and offer hope to the suffering children while there is still time. As someone who has raised children, witnessing their anguish is unbearable. Every child on this earth deserves our protection. You possess a unique authority that transcends political boundaries."

    The entertainer emphasized the critical need for expanded humanitarian access, declaring, "The gates of mercy must swing wide open to rescue these vulnerable young souls. Time is running short. I beg you to commit to this mission."

    23. Monks and Missionaries - The Papacy's Expansion North
    Aug 10 2025
    From Rome's ancient center, a new papal strategy emerges through monastic missionaries dispatched to Europe's pagan frontiers. This episode follows how Pope Gregory the Great's vision of northern evangelization, tensions between Irish and Roman Christian models, and Boniface's systematic organization of Germanic churches fundamentally reoriented papal priorities. The culminating alliance with the Franks, marked by Pope Stephen II's historic Alpine crossing, transformed the papacy from Mediterranean institution to a power increasingly looking north for its future.
