Pope Mark I witnessed many significant shifts during his early church career, so by the time he became pope, it was practically time for a break. In this episode, we introduce the Athanasius interlude, clerical fashion, and the merit of beards.

A special thank you to our friend Ben oFukushimama Laser Shark for the music for our new segment.
