Both of the popes featured in this installment are remembered for honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary. Most of our time will be spent on the first, St. Celestine, who is important chiefly for his involvement in the Council of Ephesus, which confirmed the title of Mary as Mother of God.

This episode covers the 43rd pope, St. Celestine I (422-432), and the 44th, St. Sixtus III (432-440).
