Mike Aquilina discusses the impact and courage of St. Ignatius of Antioch, and Joseph Pronechan  shares the story of the Shreveport martyrs.

When we declare that Catholicism is two thousand years old, we must do so knowing that this means the earliest days of the Church were, at times, peculiar and challenging. The liturgy had to be developed, sacramental practices clarified, disputes settled, and the life of the Church established as we now know it. Mike Aquilina, Catholic scholar and prolific author, discusses the unusual practices of the Church's first few hundred years and how they led to some of today's most cherished traditions. We would love it if you could leave a written review on Apple and share with your friends! Editing provided by Forte Catholic (https://www.fortecatholic.com/)

À quelques jours du premier tour des élections législatives en France, focus sur la participation citoyenne des personnes en situation de pauvreté, à leur implication et à leur intérêt pour la vie politique et à ce qu'elles attendent des responsables politiques. Des personnes concernés par la pauvreté témoignent.  Avec :- Marie-Aleth Grard, présidente d'ATD Quart Monde- Daniel Maciel, co-fondateur de l'association Participation et Fraternité, diacre du diocèse de Lille- Chantal, Killian, Brigitte, Jean-Dominique, Anthony, Aquilina, Christelle, Fabienne, Diane

In its earliest days, Christianity was a faith associated with cities. Cities were the spots chosen by the Apostles to begin spreading the Good News, the earliest Christian communities were found in city centers, and cities quickly became the focal points of persecution of Christians—and the blood of the martyrs was always the seed of the Church. Best-selling author Mike Aquilina has written a book about twelve cities in the ancient world where Christianity caught hold and spread despite often brutal persecutions. “Rabbles, Riots, and Ruins” is a lively journey through cities as diverse as Rome, Jerusalem, Milan, and Constantinople. In this episode, host Andrew Petiprin speaks with Aquilina about how the unique characteristics of these cities allowed for the development and flourishing of the faith, frequently in hostile environments. They discuss the cities—some still well-known, others lost to history—that defined and shaped the earliest centuries of our Christian faith.

‘Hacking for Cash' is a new ASPI podcast series exploring state sponsored campaigns of cyber espionage for commercial gain. Throughout the series we talk to experts who were close to the negotiations that led to a 2015 agreement between the United States and China to refrain from supporting and engaging in ‘hacking for cash', as well as a G20 leaders' commitment to stamp out cyber-enabled intellectual property (IP) theft. The series features conversations with cybersecurity experts on state-sponsored hackers and how they operate, and with industry leaders about risk and resilience. We also talk with IP experts about how the US and China protect trade secrets, and with national cybersecurity and counter-intelligence agencies about how companies and universities can protect their crown jewels. This week, Dr Gatra Priyandita speaks with Nadia Taggart, Chief Information Security Officer at Western Sydney University and Anna Aquilina, Chief Information Security Officer at the University of Technology Sydney. They discuss the issue of knowledge and research security and the risks of malign foreign interference and cyber espionage. They also explore the biggest threats and risks to universities, and how we can assure that critical and sensitive research data is protected from illegal access and theft.

On this episode of The Shaun Tabatt Show, we're joined by author Mike Aquilina to talk about his book Villains of the Early Church: And How They Made Us Better Christians. The early Church faced its share of villains—persecutors like Nero and Julian, heretics like Marcion and Arius. But as Mike Aquilina demonstrates in his book, these villains actually helped to make the Church stronger and more faithful. The threat of persecution made Christians strong and bold. It forced them to think deeply about their faith and to defend it against those who would attack it. The menace of heresy made Christians smarter—it forced them to study the Scriptures and the writings of the Church Fathers in order to defend the true faith. And the villains of the ancient world proved the mettle of heroes like Peter and Paul, Irenaeus and Athanasius. Treachery and adversity inspired the Fathers' clearest teaching, most entertaining invective, and more than a few memorable jokes. In this episode, Mike Aquilina shares some of the most fascinating stories from the early Church, and he shows us how these villains can actually help us to be better Christians today. We'll discuss: The different types of villains that the early Church faced How these villains helped to make the Church stronger and more faithful The importance of studying the early Church fathers How we can learn from the villains of the early Church to be better Christians today If you're interested in learning more about the early Church, or if you're looking for inspiration to grow in your faith, then you won't want to miss this episode of The Shaun Tabatt Show.

On this episode of The Shaun Tabatt Show, we're diving deep into the history of early Christianity in Africa with author Mike Aquilina. His new book, Africa and the Early Church: The Almost-Forgotten Roots of Catholic Christianity, uncovers a lost history that played a profound role in shaping the development of the faith. From Ethiopia and Sudan to Egypt, Libya, and beyond, African Christians made decisive contributions in theology, liturgy, biblical studies, and culture. And yet, much of this history was lost to Europe in the wake of Arab invasions in the seventh and eighth centuries. That's where Aquilina's book comes in, telling the story of these forgotten roots through the words of the great figures of antiquity. Join us as we explore the richness and depth of early Christian thought and practice in Africa, and discover why it's so important to acknowledge and remember these almost-forgotten roots of Catholic Christianity. Whether you're a scholar, a history buff, or simply interested in learning more about the foundations of our faith, this is an episode you won't want to miss. So press play and join us for a fascinating conversation with author Mike Aquilina.
