"The Black Pope” Conspiracy
Join historian Michael Hoffman as he discusses "The Black Pope," the Jesuit now known to the world as the new leader of Catholicism, Pope Francis.
In the past the head of the Jesuit order has been referred to by friend and foe alike as "The Black Pope," as a signifier that the top Jesuit in the world had powers of command rivaling those of the pontiff himself. Now the Church is headed by a prelate who is both a Jesuit and the pope -- a historic first. What does this portend for Christianity and the world?Are the legends about sinister Jesuit control true, or are they libels against an order that has often aligned itself with the poor and oppressed? How does all this relate to the alleged "Malachi prophecy" which supposedly predicts that the new pope is "Peter Romanus," the last pope of all time?Tune into "On the Contrary" as we explore these fascinating issues.

Black Prisoners in Confederate Prisons During the Civil War
Bernice Bennett welcomes author and researcher Bob J. O’ Connor for a discussion of his research on Black Prisoners in Confederate Prisons During the Civil War.
O'Connor is a native of Dixon, Illinois and a graduate of Northern llinois University. He is retired, and lives in Charles Town, WV and is the author of nine books, all on the American Civil War. His topics include John Brown(abolitionist), Ward Hill Lamon (President Lincoln's bodyguard), and Civil War topics linked to his local area (two brothers who fought against each other twice and a black blacksmith who is seeking his freedom).
His interest in studying African American history comes from studying John Brown and Abraham Lincoln and their concerns with slavery.
His current research involves studying the black prisoners held in Confederate prisons during the Civil War. The stereotypes that no black prisoner made it to prison are wrong. In fact, he is only partially through the U.S. Colored Troops records and have found 2,182 black prisoners (2078 soldiers and 104 black sailors). An amazing 79 percent of those black POW's survived their incarceration.
He research includes the names, regiments, company,rank, date of capture, place of capture, name of the prison or prisonswhere they were held, if they survived or not, date of death or what happened to them, place of birth and age.
