Why was Jean-François Millet's The Angelus considered highly controversial and politically divisive in pre-industrial 19th-century France? What do we know about his personal background, his ambiguous relationship with his subjects, and the scene of the famous Barbizon School? And, how did artists like Salvador Dalí and Vincent Van Gogh draw inspiration and reinterpret the painting? In this new The Rest Is History Club series, Tom is joined by art critic and author Laura Cumming to discuss the histories behind famous paintings and put them in their historical contexts. To hear the full episode, and all the other exclusive new episodes from Laura and Tom's paintings series, coming out every Wednesday for the next four weeks, join The Rest is History Club at therestishistory.com _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Video Editors: Jack Meek + Harry Swan Social Producer: Harry Balden Producers: Tabby Syrett & Aaliyah Akude Executive Producer: Dom Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

This weekend episode of Opinions Matter is a totally unedited bit of madness you don't hear on the main show.Adrian, Jeremy and Katie go from debating the Angelus (how many “dongs” are there, and who even watches it?) to Jeremy's very questionable altar-boy memories — bell ringing rules, “tabernacles”, trousers… and Father Thomas the drinker!!!!Then it's onto Katie's MRI horror story (claustrophobia, panic buttons and being told to stay still), the great coffee-mug row, and the weird reality of being recognised in “the normal shop”.Plus: lipstick marks on mugs, funeral “strangers”, and whether swearing in a eulogy is ever acceptable.
Pause. Remember. Enter the mystery.Join us in praying The Angelus, the traditional Catholic devotion prayed morning, noon, and evening to sanctify the day and remember the Incarnation.In this video:• Full follow-along words on screen• Gentle, reverent instrumental music• Calm pacing for prayerful reflection• Perfect for 6am, 12pm, or 6pm prayerThe Angelus invites us to pause in the middle of ordinary life and recall that “the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.”Whether you are praying alone, with your family, or leading your household, may this time draw your heart back to Christ.

In this episode, Deacon talks with Todd Dailey, founder of Eternize, about his journey from spiritual autopilot back to a deeper faith and how it led him to create the world's first haptic cross—a wearable device that gently vibrates to remind you of God's presence throughout the day. They explore the intersection of faith and technology, contrasting dystopian AI wearables with tools that foster real prayer habits rooted in Catholic traditions like the Angelus.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta segunda-feira (02): O presidente da Ucrânia, Volodymyr Zelensky, anunciou que as negociações de paz entre Ucrânia, Rússia e Estados Unidos serão retomadas nesta quarta-feira (04) e quinta-feira (05), em Abu Dhabi, nos Emirados Árabes Unidos. Mais de 50 organizações da sociedade civil iniciaram uma mobilização coletiva para pressionar pela implementação de um código de conduta para ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal. A articulação ocorre em meio ao agravamento da crise na Corte após o caso Banco Master e busca reunir apoios institucionais de entidades ligadas à ética, transparência e governança pública. Durante a oração do Angelus neste domingo (1º), o papa Leão XIV afirmou estar profundamente preocupado com o aumento das tensões entre os Estados Unidos e Cuba. O pontífice fez um apelo por um “diálogo sincero e eficaz” entre os dois países, destacando a necessidade de evitar a violência e novos sofrimentos para o povo cubano. A corrida eleitoral de 2026 já provoca movimentações no Senado, com parlamentares articulando candidaturas aos governos estaduais e negociações para formar coligações regionais. Alguns nomes são: Alan Rick (AC), Omar Aziz (AM), Marcos Rogério (RO), Professora Dorinha (TO), Eduardo Gomes (TO), Renan Filho (AL), Eduardo Girão (CE), Efraim Filho (PB), Ciro Nogueira (PI), Cleitinho Azevedo (MG), Wilder Morais (GO), Izalci Lucas (DF), Wellington Fagundes (MT), Jayme Campos (MT) e Sergio Moro (PR). O ano político em Brasília começa oficialmente nesta semana com o fim do recesso do Congresso Nacional e a retomada das atividades do Poder Judiciário. O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) tem presença prevista na cerimônia de abertura do ano judiciário, marcada para esta segunda-feira (02), no Supremo Tribunal Federal. José Maria Trindade comentou. Altos comandantes militares dos Estados Unidos e de Israel se reuniram de forma secreta no Pentágono na última sexta-feira (30) para discutir o aumento das tensões com o Irã. A CPI do Crime Organizado, no Senado, marcou para esta semana os depoimentos dos governadores do Distrito Federal, Ibaneis Rocha, e do Rio de Janeiro, Cláudio Castro. Ibaneis será ouvido na terça-feira (03), enquanto Castro depõe na quarta-feira (04), ambos às 9h. Em meio à crise envolvendo a fraude no Banco Master, senadores afirmam que o caso deve ser abordado durante o depoimento do governador do DF, citado anteriormente por Daniel Vorcaro, dono da instituição financeira. A segurança pública é o principal problema do Brasil para a população, segundo pesquisa do Instituto Paraná Pesquisas divulgada nesta segunda-feira (2). O tema foi citado por 22,2% dos entrevistados, seguido por saúde pública (20,1%) e inflação e preço dos produtos (15,9%). Educação (13,8%) e geração de emprego e renda (9,4%) aparecem na sequência. O presidente da CPMI do INSS, senador Carlos Viana (Podemos-MG), solicitou ao ministro Dias Toffoli, do STF, autorização para o depoimento do empresário Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master. A oitiva, marcada para quinta-feira (5), deve tratar exclusivamente dos contratos de empréstimos consignados ligados ao INSS. Para comentar o tema, a Jovem Pan entrevista o deputado Alfredo Gaspar (União Brasil-AL). Uma segunda mulher afirmou que o financista Jeffrey Epstein, condenado por crimes sexuais, a teria enviado ao Reino Unido para um encontro com Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, filho da rainha Elizabeth II. O nome do príncipe voltou ao centro das atenções após ele perder oficialmente o título em outubro, em meio a denúncias de seu suposto envolvimento com o bilionário americano.

Happy New Year from Fratello On Air! We're back with a new episode, and we're going shopping. Well, maybe. One of us has his eyes on several pieces while the other is taking a wait-and-see approach. Enjoy our 2026 kickoff!Yes, we're back for another year, and it's great to be here! With a new year, we usually make resolutions. However, last year's resolutions didn't go so well. In particular, Mike failed miserably on his plan to sell watches. He was simply too lazy. So instead of making these types of predictions, we've opted to talk about what's on our shopping lists.HandgelenkskontrolleWe kick off our show with a discussion about Kith, which some of you may recall from the controversial TAG Heuer Formula 1 × Kith collaboration in 2024. The brand just opened a new store in London, which is worth visiting if sneakers are of interest. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs is wearing his trusty G-Shock GW-B5600-2ER, a watch that seems to give him good luck when traveling. Mike is wearing his Synchron Military, a fun piece from 2021. This segues into a conversation about the Synchron Sealab Ti300M, a new titanium diver with many similarities to the Doxa Sub 300T.Shopping in 2026For 2026, we're taking a more reserved approach to collecting — sort of. Mike has a trio of expensive watches on his radar and will struggle to land any of them. However, he has vowed to stay away from accumulating more lower-priced pieces. Balazs, on the other hand, has less specific desires. He has just ordered a microbrand watch from Japan but is keeping mum on the name until it arrives. A watch that Mike is hot on is the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF 36 in Stone Blue. This probably isn't a surprise, as it comes up now and again on episodes, but make no mistake, the desire is real!Balazs has come close to completing his Angelus collection, but he'd love to add a vintage minute repeater. For the second year in a row, Mike also has a certain vintage watch on his list. The "large" Cartier Tank Normale is still a lustworthy piece, but it's expensive. With its 23mm by 30mm case, this little beauty has real presence but a hefty price tag. Balazs is taking some small steps to fund potential acquisitions by selling a few of his Angelus duplicates, which bodes well for his piggy bank. Finally, while adding another Rolex to the collection wasn't planned, a '60s gilt-dial Rolex Submariner 5513 would be amazing. Our friend Eric Wind of Wind Vintage often finds great examples. There's just something special about the warm font!We hope you enjoy today's episode and look forward to the upcoming year. Let us know what's on your shopping list for 2026 and, while you're at it, what else you'd like to hear about in future installments.

En el Ángelus de este 28 de diciembre, último domingo del año, el Papa León XIV recordó la Fiesta de la Sagrada Familia que celebramos este día y reflexionó sobre la huida de la familia de Nazaret a Egipto, señalando que «el mundo, lamentablemente, siempre tiene sus Herodes», con sus consecuencias de soledad, desesperación, divisiones y conflictos. Al finalizar la oración mariana, invitó a orar por las familias que sufren por la guerra en el mundo.

What if taking Mary seriously actually deepens, rather than distracts from, devotion to Jesus? Art historian and theologian Matthew Milliner joins Mark Labberton to explore that possibility through history, theology, and the Incarnation. In a searching conversation about Mary, the meaning of Marian devotion, and the mystery of the Incarnation, they draw from early Christianity, Protestant theology, and global Christianity, as Milliner reframes Mary as a figure who deepens devotion to Christ rather than distracting from it. "I don't see how anyone cannot understand this to be the revolution of revolutions in regards to the way that women are understood." In this episode, they reflect on Mary as presence, witness, and theological key to understanding God's entry into human life. They discuss Marian devotion before the Reformation, excess and restraint in Christian practice, the Incarnation's implications for embodiment and gender, Protestant fears and recoveries, global Marian traditions, grief and discipleship, and why Mary ultimately points beyond herself to Christ. Episode Highlights "I love Jesus so much that I love his mom too. Isn't she great too?" " What relationship do you have in your life where if you knew the parents of the person you're in relationship with, that would damage the relationship? … It's a sign of deep intimacy." "There is no Christianity without Mary. That's how God came into the world." "She is my tutorial in grief." "If it's the real Mary you're dealing with, she will point you to Jesus." "The answer to the abuse is to point to the best use." "She became a presence in the church for me." "I don't see how anyone cannot understand this to be the revolution of revolutions." About Matthew Milliner Matthew J. Milliner is Associate Professor of Art History at Wheaton College, where he specializes in early Christian, Byzantine, and global Christian art. His scholarship explores theology through visual culture, with particular attention to Mary, the Incarnation, and Christian devotion across traditions. Milliner is widely published in academic journals and popular outlets, including Comment Magazine, where he has written extensively on Marian theology and Christian art.

Isn't she great too?" Honoring Mary without worship, framed through Revelation imagery of the bride and the people of God Archaeological and manuscript discoveries reshaping assumptions about early Christian practice Marian devotion expanding intimacy rather than competing with Christological focus Newman on devotion requiring excess, extravagance, and emotional overflow to be genuinely human "Let the Christian Church let it boil over every once in a while." Reformation dynamics producing extremes: feverish excess on one side and stone-cold rejection on the other Rosemary Radford Ruether, Goddesses and the Divine Feminine Pagan goddess traditions contrasted with Marian imagery and their treatment of women's bodies Aphrodite imagery as endorsement of male desire versus Marian imagery as reverence for God's entry into flesh "Find me an image of Mary that does anything close to that." Incarnation reshaping how Christians see the female body, sexuality, and dignity "This is the body God entered the world through." The angel Gabriel's Annunciation and Mary's consent Annunciation framed as consent rather than coercion, with Luke emphasizing Mary's agency "Nothing happens to her until she consents." Mary as theological answer to pornographic and exploitative religious imaginations "I don't see how anyone cannot understand this to be the revolution of revolutions." Guadalupe as evangelistic bridge for indigenous peoples pointing toward Christ without blood sacrifice Mary's global accessibility across Muslim, Hindu, and non-Christian contexts "She is a real evangelist, Mary." Walsingham pilgrimage as Anglican recovery of Marian devotion Marian attraction functioning as penumbra drawing outsiders toward Christianity "If it's the real Mary you're dealing with, she will point you to Jesus." Abuse of Marian devotion acknowledged alongside historical self-correction within Catholicism "The answer to the abuse is to point to the best use." Matthew Milliner's personal spiritual journey from childhood Catholicism through evangelical conversion Anti-Mary phase followed by rediscovery through art history and theology "She became a presence in the church for me." Mary understood as presence rather than abstract idea, without becoming divine William Johnson's, The Wounded Stag: God is beyond gender Devotional practice as tributary flowing into Trinitarian worship rather than replacing it "There is no Christianity without Mary. That's how God came into the world." Angelus prayer as scriptural meditation culminating in Trinitarian praise "Pour your grace into our hearts, O Lord." Psychological and spiritual healing through Marian presence without theological confusion Mary as guide for grief through images of sorrow and seven swords "She is my tutorial in grief." Black Madonna traditions interpreted through devotion, time, soot, and divine darkness Darkness as sign of overwhelming divine light rather than absence of God #ConversingPodcast #MatthewMilliner #MaryTheology #Incarnation #ChristianTradition #AdventReflections #FaithAndArt Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.
