About Podcast
Many people think that the problems of the modern world go unspoken of by the church, but this actually isn’t entirely true. Modern day papal encyclicals bridge the gap between the laity and the church’s highest officials. Throughout this series, Win Tapia (Host of The Tapout Podcast), will guide you through reading 8 of the most popular papal encyclicals. The Holy Fathers who wrote them are Pope Leo XIII, Pope Paul VI, Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, Pope Francis, and Pope Leo XIV. The topics that were chosen for this series are all topics that the modern world struggles to understand. They are topics that still have relevance in the world today. This is the beauty of papal encyclicals: they are timeless writings. Join us, through this series, to discover some of the most underlying principles of the church. Some of the teachings that many people struggle not only to understand, but to follow. For as Pope Paul VI said in his encyclical “Humane Vitae”, “The church, no less than her divine founder, is destined to be a sign of contradiction.”
