Queen Isabella, the Popes, & the Question of ETERNAL ALLEGIANCE | E27

I pledge allegiance.... but to whom?

In an age where Catholics are told to privatize their faith and pledge loyalty to slogans, flags, and political parties, this episode uncovers what public school history books and media narratives worked hard to hide.

This episode of KNIGHT TIME doubles as a lesson in the US HISTORY & CATHOLICISM course on that other video platform.

3 Urgent Questions This Episode Confronts—

1. Why don’t we hear the real Catholic story of the New World—warts, wisdom, and all?
2. What did popes like Paul III actually teach about evangelization, conquest, and human dignity?
3. If your soul is eternal… why did we stop acting like it?

We explore the fierce faith of Queen Isabella, her obedience to the papacy, and how the Catholic Church’s true mission was not conquest—but conversion. We spotlight the following:

a. Papal encyclicals like 'Sublimis Deus' and 'Pastorale Officium'
b. Historical context often erased by modern propaganda
c. The saints’ fearless devotion to saving souls—not collecting treasure

Yes, popes were human and sometimes faltered under political pressure. But why are those complexities omitted from the story? Why is the Church always the villain, even when she was the only voice calling for justice?

This lesson reveals the forgotten Catholic mandate—and asks what happens when we no longer believe the soul is eternal.

The battle for truth is always a battle for memory.

And the greatest act of love? Still introducing a soul to Christ.

It’s not whether you’re Catholic.

It’s whether you’re Catholic First.
