In this special episode we cover the last two days of the Peasants Revolt of June 1381- the destruction and carnage of the previous few days is dwarfed by the mayhem that is to follow; the Archbishop of Canterbury is hacked apart before a baying crown; scores of foreigners are massacred in the streets and the young king forced to hide out in a house in Blackfriars, as the city descends into utter chaos. But quietly, and behind the scenes, the Aldermen of London began flexing their muscles. From saving large numbers of Germans, to orchestrating the plan to kill the rebel leader, this is a story of how the Mayor and his allies were to emerge triumphant in the face of absolute horror.

Il giorno prima a Milano era morta la sua segretaria, Graziella Corrocher, precipitata dal quarto piano della banca. Quelle due scomparse violente rappresentano parte delle oscure ombre sullo IOR, l'Istituto per le Opere di Religione ossia il braccio finanziario d'investimento dello Stato Vaticano. Quella dello IOR è una storia di soldi, di pacchetti azionari, di proprietà immobiliari, di società anonime, di personaggi oscuri, di cadaveri eccellenti, di scandali che si succedono nel tempo. Una storia che ha destato sdegno e suscitato proteste e che merita di essere raccontata. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The Lord gives us what we cannot make or do for ourselves. Our first task in life is to receive. And from what we receive, we are to be changed. The mystery of the Eucharist abides in that exchange: receiving, becoming.In a new book titled Eucharist: The Real Presence of Christ, my longtime friend Tania Geist presents twelve substantive Eucharistic reflections that help small groups discover, discuss, prepare for, and respond to the gift and mission of the Eucharist. Our conversation today will touch on the meaning of the Eucharist, the gift of peace, God sustaining us with simplicity and joy, and the movement from possessiveness to gratitude.About today's guest: Tania M. Geist has worked as an editor and writer of Catholic books, newspapers, journals, and other media. Her reflections in these pages have been especially shaped by her time studying theology and philosophy at Blackfriars of Oxford University; her years translating and editing Pope Benedict XVI's preaching for L'Osservatore Romano newspaper inside Vatican City, and the decade during which her young family was part of the community at the University of Notre Dame. There, she received a master's degree in systematic theology and served as an editor for Church Life Journal.Geist currently resides in Providence, Rhode Island, with her scripture-scholar husband and their four spunky young children. As a small business owner, she runs Book Pocket, LLC, which provides editorial and audio event services.Follow-up Resources:“The Folly of Mine” by Tania Geist, article in the Church Life Journal“Matter Matters: One the Need for a Pastoral Theology of Radical Particularity” by Tania Geist, article in the Church Life Journal“Motherhood and the Paschal Mystery” by Tania Geist, article in the Church Life Journal“Eucharist Beliefs Among Adult Catholics, with Tim O'Malley,” podcast episode on Church Life Today“Augustine on the Eucharist, with Elizabeth Klein,” podcast episode on Church Life TodayChurch Life Today is a partnership between the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame and OSV Podcasts from Our Sunday Visitor.

In Shakespeare's plays, he uses the word “glass” over 80 times, including to talk about specific kinds of glass like a pilot's glass in Alls Well That Ends Well, and “the glasses of my sight” in Coriolanus. We can see from the surviving building of Shakespeare's Birthplace in Stratford Upon Avon, that window glass existed, and there was even an old glass house in the Blackfriars where the Blackfriars theater was located, but how was all this glass made? What materials were used? What other products might have been made from glass, and what colors of glass were available or even most popular? To find out the answers to these questions and explore the history of glass for Shakespeare's lifetime, we are delighted to welcome Allen Loomis to the show today.

In this discussion, Mark Hillary talks to Christine Heynes, Head of Customer Transformation, and Yvonne Quinn, Head of Customer Relations, at Southeastern Railway in the UK. Southeastern is the public-facing name of SE Trains Ltd - a train operating company that serves the south east area of England. Southeastern serves the main London stations of Charing Cross, Waterloo East, Cannon Street, London Bridge, St Pancras, Victoria and Blackfriars. The network has route mileage of 540 miles (870 km), with 180 stations. Christine and Yvonne explore the complexities of managing customer expectations on a major rail network and how to manage daily complaints and refund demands alongside building a CX strategy for the future. They also explore the importance of finding the right CX partner. They are happy to talk about their relationship with Teleperformance, a contract that has been extended. It's interesting to note how they see Teleperformance as a CX expert that can guide the rail company, rather just just a supplier of customer service solutions. This collaboration recently won an award (best cross functional collaboration) at the ECCCSAs 2023. In the interview, Yvonne answers the first question - Christine joins from the second question. https://www.southeasternrailway.co.uk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-heynes-40233a104/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonne-quinn-18366a297/ https://www.ecccsa.com/2023-finalists/

Send us a Text Message.Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. Henry VIII went down in history, not so much for what he accomplished as king of England but for one tantalizing fact - he had six wives. Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, Katherine Parr - these six women are often defined by their association with Henry VIII, she was wife number 2, she was number 5, she was number 6, their very humanity reduced to a number. Not Catherine, not Anne, not Jane, just “Henry VIII's wife.” But these women were more than just wives, they were individuals, each with their own story, all of them overshadowed by the desperation of a man determined to continue his legacy. But did you know, in his absurd quest for a male heir, Henry VIII ripped his country apart, changing the religion of the entire nation, executing his closest advisors, tormenting his wives, and ultimately failing miserably? Let's fix that.

Prior to Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries in 1538, the section of London known as Blackfriars was as major religious institution extending along the bank of the Thames River. In its' entirety, Blackfriars was second in size only to St. Paul's Churchyard. After the Reformation, Blackfriars was located in what's known as a Liberty, which meant it was just outside the reach of the mayoral law. Being outside the mayor's jurisdiction made Blackfriars especially attractive to entrepreneurs like The Burbages and their star writer, William Shakespeare, who wanted to open a theater that wasn't subject to the tighter restrictions of London proper. Blackfriars wasn't only attractive to innovative theater professionals, however, it was also attractive to immigrants and the highly religious who were seeking freedom from the regulation of guilds. At the time that Shakespeare and the Burbages were looking at Blackfriars as a home for their theater, the parish of St Anne, Blackfriars, was dominated by godly clergy and parishioners, the people we usually think of as the enemies of theater. Here today to explain to us how Blackfriars theater was able to survive and thrive in this section of London is our guest, Chris Highley. Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Este episodio se titula "Domingo" y continúa nuestra mirada a la vida monástica.En nuestro último episodio, examinamos a Francisco de Asís y la orden monástica que le siguió, los Franciscanos. En estos episodios, echamos un vistazo a la otra gran orden que se desarrolló en esa época: los Dominicos.Domingo nació en la región de Castilla, España, en 1170. Destacó como estudiante a una edad temprana. Sacerdote a los 25 años, fue invitado por su obispo a acompañarle en una visita al sur de Francia, donde se encontró con un grupo de supuestos herejes conocidos como los Cátaros. Domingo se lanzó a la supresión de los Cátaros, sancionada por la Iglesia, mediante una gira de predicación por la región.Domingo fue un eficaz polemista de la teología Cátara. Persuadió a muchos que se habían inclinado por su secta para que se alejaran. Estos conversos se convirtieron en celosos de la resistencia en contra de ellos. Por ello, el obispo de Toulouse dio a Domingo una sexta parte de los diezmos de la diócesis para que continuara su labor. Otro adinerado partidario le dio a Domingo una casa en Toulouse para que pudiera vivir y trabajar en el centro de la controversia.Volveremos a hablar de los Cátaros en un próximo episodio.Domingo visitó Roma durante el IV Concilio de Letrán, tema de otro episodio futuro. Fue alentado por el Papa Inocencio III en su labor apologética, pero se le denegó su petición de fundar una nueva orden monástica. El Papa le sugirió que se uniera a una de las órdenes existentes. Como la sugerencia de un Papa es realmente una orden, Domingo eligió a los Agustinos. Se puso su hábito de monje negro y construyó un convento en Toulouse.Volvió a Roma un año más tarde, permaneciendo alrededor de medio año. El nuevo Papa Honorio II le concedió su petición de fundar una nueva orden. Originalmente llamada "Orden de los Hermanos Predicadores", fue la primera comunidad religiosa dedicada a la predicación. La orden creció rápidamente en el siglo XIII, llegando a tener 15.000 miembros en 557 casas a finales del siglo.A su regreso a Francia, Domingo comenzó a enviar monjes para fundar colonias. La orden se arraigó rápidamente en París, Bolonia y Roma. Domingo volvió a España, donde en 1218 estableció comunidades separadas para mujeres y hombres.Desde Francia, los Dominicos se lanzaron a Alemania. Se establecieron rápidamente en Colonia, Worms, Estrasburgo, Basilea y otras ciudades. En 1221, la orden se introdujo en Inglaterra, y enseguida se estableció en Oxford. El puente de Blackfriars, en Londres, lleva en su nombre el recuerdo de su priorato allí.Domingo murió en Bolonia en agosto de 1221. Su tumba está decorada con obras de Nicolás de Pisa y Miguel Ángel. En comparación con el rápido reconocimiento de Francisco como santo sólo dos años después de su muerte, el de Domingo tardó trece años; aún así fue una canonización rápida.Domingo carecía de la cálida y apasionada preocupación por los pobres y los necesitados que caracterizó a su contemporáneo Francisco. Pero si Francisco era devoto de la Señora Pobreza, Domingo estaba comprometido con el Señor Verdad. Si Francisco y Domingo formaran parte de la tripulación de un crucero, Francisco sería el director de actividades y Domingo el abogado.Una vieja historia ilustra el contraste entre ellos. Interrumpido en sus estudios por el gorjeo de un gorrión, Domingo lo cogió y lo desplumó. Francisco, en cambio, es venerado por su tierna compasión y cuidado de todas las cosas. Hasta hoy se le representa en el arte con un pájaro posado en su hombro.Domingo tenía un propósito resuelto, era celoso en la propagación de la ortodoxia y devoto de la Iglesia y su jerarquía. Su influencia continúa a través de la organización que creó.En el momento de la muerte de Domingo, los monjes predicadores, o "frailes" como se les llamaba, tenían sesenta monasterios y conventos repartidos por toda Europa. Unos años más tarde, se habían extendido a Jerusalén y a lo más profundo del Norte. Como los Dominicos eran la autoridad de predicación del Vaticano, recibieron numerosos privilegios para llevar a cabo su misión en cualquier lugar.La mendicidad, es decir, la mendicidad como medio de subsistencia, se convirtió en la regla de la orden en 1220. Se siguió el ejemplo de Francisco, y tanto la orden como los monjes individuales renunciaron a todo derecho de propiedad personal. Sin embargo, esta mendicidad nunca se acentuó entre los Dominicos como entre los Franciscanos. La obligación de pobreza corporativa fue revocada en 1477. La última exhortación de Domingo a sus seguidores fue que debían amar, servir con humildad y vivir en pobreza, pero, para ser sinceros, la mayoría de sus seguidores nunca se tomaron muy a pecho estos preceptos.A diferencia de Francisco, Domingo no exigía trabajo manual a los miembros de la orden. Sustituyó el trabajo por el estudio y la predicación. Los Dominicos fueron los primeros monásticos que adoptaron reglas para el estudio. Cuando Domingo fundó su monasterio en París, y envió a diecisiete de su orden para dotarlo de personal, les dijo que "estudiaran y predicaran". Se exigía un curso teológico de cuatro años de filosofía y teología antes de conceder la licencia para predicar, y le seguían tres años más de estudio teológico.La predicación y la salvación de las almas se definían como el objetivo principal de la orden. A nadie se le permitía predicar fuera del claustro hasta los 25 años. Y no debían recibir dinero ni otros regalos por predicar, excepto comida. Vicente Ferrer y Savonarola fueron los predicadores Dominicos más conocidos de la Edad Media. La misión de los Dominicos se dirigía sobre todo a las clases altas. Eran la orden patricia entre los monjes.Es probable que Domingo hubiera sido un sacerdote anónimo más entre los miles de la Edad Media si no hubiera sido por aquel fatídico viaje al sur de Francia, donde se encontró con los cátaros. Seguramente había oído hablar de ellos en España, pero fue su popularidad en Francia lo que le provocó. No vio ni oyó nada entre los herejes que supiera que una buena y sólida enseñanza y predicación no pudiera corregir. Era el hombre adecuado, en el momento adecuado, haciendo lo correcto; al principio. Pero su éxito a la hora de responder a los errores de los cátaros le granjeó un apoyo que le impulsó a intensificar su oposición al error. Esa oposición se volvería siniestra y se convertiría en lo que es posiblemente uno de los puntos oscuros de la historia de la Iglesia: la Inquisición. Aunque han pasado cientos de años, la palabra todavía hace que muchos se estremezcan de terror.Dante dijo de Domingo que era "bueno con sus amigos, pero terrible con sus enemigos".Analizaremos más detenidamente la Inquisición en un episodio posterior. Por ahoraEn 1232, la dirección de la Inquisición se encomendó a los Dominicos. El norte de Francia, España y Alemania cayeron en sus manos. El severo Torquemada era un dominico, y las atroces medidas que empleó para espiar y castigar la disidencia eclesiástica una mancha indeleble en ellos.El emblema de la orden designado por el Papa era un perro con una antorcha encendida en la boca. El perro representaba la llamada a vigilar, la antorcha a iluminar el mundo. Una pintura en su convento de Florencia representa el lugar que la orden llegó a ocupar como cazadores de herejes. Representa a perros vestidos con los colores de los Dominicos, ahuyentando a los zorros herejes. Todo ello mientras el papa y el emperador, entronizados y rodeados de consejeros, miran con satisfacción.Al terminar este episodio, me pareció oportuno hacer un rápido repaso de las órdenes monásticas mendicantes que hemos estado estudiando.En primer lugar, las órdenes mendicantes se diferenciaban de los monásticos anteriores en que se comprometían, no sólo con la pobreza individual, sino con la corporativa. Las casas mendicantes no obtenían ingresos de rentas o propiedades. Dependían de la caridad.En segundo lugar, los frailes no permanecían secuestrados en comunas monásticas. Su tarea consistía en salir al mundo a predicar el Evangelio. Como toda la sociedad europea se consideraba cristiana, los mendicantes tomaban el mundo entero como su parroquia. Su claustro no eran los salones de un convento; era el mercado público.En tercer lugar, el auge de las universidades en esta época ofreció a los Franciscanos y a los Dominicos nuevas oportunidades para difundir el mensaje del Evangelio educando a las futuras generaciones de Europa.En cuarto lugar, los mendicantes promovieron una renovación de la piedad mediante las órdenes terciarias o de tercer nivel que crearon, que permitían a los laicos la oportunidad de asistir a una especie de campamento de monjes.En quinto lugar, los mendicantes respondían directamente ante el Papa y no ante los obispos locales o los intermediarios, que a menudo utilizaban las órdenes para sus propios fines políticos y económicos.Sexto, los frailes componían una orden y una organización más que una casa específica, como habían hecho las órdenes anteriores. Antes de los mendicantes, los monjes y las monjas se unían a un convento o monasterio. Su identidad estaba envuelta en ese claustro específico. Los mendicantes se unieron a una orden que se extendía por decenas de casas de este tipo. La obediencia de los monjes ya no se dirigía al abad o abadesa local, sino al líder de la orden.Además de los Dominicos y los Franciscanos, otras órdenes mendicantes eran los Carmelitas, que empezaron como ermitaños en Tierra Santa en el siglo XII, los Ermitaños de San Agustín y los Servitas, que empezaron bajo la regla Agustiniana en el siglo XIII, pero se convirtieron en mendicantes en el XV.
