Description

Pope Leo XIV casts his ballot in the U.S. midterms, raising an unusual question: Should the head of a foreign state be voting in American elections? Frank and Dan take a look at the pope's multiple citizenships, the Vatican's absolute monarchy, and the strange intersection of religion, politics, and democracy. But first some news... Fake priests run amok in Mexico, a Michigan school bus driver fired for handing out Jesus candy, Marco Rubio used State Department platform to declare America a Christian nation, Orthodox Jews fight gun restrictions in Maryland, a pro-ICE Christian blogger gets detained by ICE, and a weird little Egyptian cult in Salt Lake City fights to save its pyramid from the shade.
