Before He Was Pope: The Human Life of St. Peter – Dr. Robert Shaffern - 07/31/2026
The Catholic Morning Show
Historian Dr. Robert Shaffern of the University of Scranton joins The Catholic Morning Show to discuss his new biography, Peter of Galilee: Shepherd of the Early Church, which recreates the life of the apostle from working fisherman to first Pope. Shaffern draws on Scripture and early Christian sources to show Peter's very human struggles and how they shaped his leadership of the early Church. It's a grounded, fresh look at the man behind the papacy and what his story can teach modern Catholics about following Christ.
