Episode: 3378 Tenth century author, Hrotsvitha, brought back to life in the sixteenth century.  Today, meet Hrotsvitha.

In 1846, fourteen-year-old Angelique Cottin became known as the "Electric Girl" when she unleashed an unexplainable force that sent furniture flying, baffled scientists, and terrified priests, all while her family sought fortune from her mysterious powers.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/ElectricPoltergeistGirlFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: In 1846, a 14-year-old peasant girl from rural France caught the attention of the country and eventually the world because of a strange current of electricity running through her. Angelique Cottin, a girl of small stature, was suddenly and uncontrollably moving furniture weighing hundreds of pounds across the room. In the end, over 2,000 witnesses saw the unexplainable phenomenon. Of the few recorded cases of psychokinesis throughout history, even fewer are as bizarre as the story of Angelique Cottin, AKA the Poltergeist Girl. (The Poltergeist Girl) *** The Codex Gigas... a colossal manuscript steeped in mystery. Not just in it's pages, but in its origin. Is it true that a monk penned the pages after striking a deal with the devil in order to complete it? (Codex Gigas: The Devil's Bible) *** When you think of people living in medieval times, what do you see? People with bad teeth and breath? Witches being burned? Women had no rights or jobs? People tossed their urine and feces in the street? They thought the earth was flat? Hold up… are you sure about that last one? (The Dark Ages And The Flat Earth) *** In 1941, in the quiet town of Media, Pennsylvania, a horrific crime shocked the community. Two elderly sisters, Elizabeth Watson and Belle Geary, were brutally attacked, leading to Elizabeth's death and Belle's prolonged suffering. As authorities honed in on a suspect, 14-year-old John Leeds emerged as the prime candidate. Despite his confession, his mother staunchly defended him, sparking a legal battle that gripped the nation. (The Octogenarian Murders) *** Are whales dangerous? Most would note that, given from the danger associated with such a large animal, there is a certain risk in getting close to one. But most would also note that whales have a curious, gentle temperament and physical violence from one is very unlikely. Unless, that is, you consider those times when they literally explode.

Chris Smaje visits Crazy Town for some farmer-to-farmer straight talk with Jason Bradford. Are these two long lost cousins? Both dropped out of academia years ago to become philosophizing farmers (can we call them “pharmers” with a “ph,” as in PhD?!?). Chris's latest book, Finding Lights in a Dark Age: Sharing Land, Work and Craft explores how we can move from modernity's unsustainable political economy toward a re-organization of society, driven by communities and local food systems. In this wide-ranging conversation, Chris and Jason cover everything from Viking raids to agrarian populism, from societal collapse to the practicalities of making your way in a failed state. And they can't get away from the shop talk of gardens, livestock, and home economics.

Welcome to Missives to the Coterie, where the characters from War of Ages respond in character to letter prompts from our much appreciated Ko-Fi subscribers! This episode's letter is from Millennial Falcon. Thanks so much! (Potential spoilers through War of Ages "15 - Draconic Ultimatum." In character responses are of nebulous canon to the story of War of Ages, but should still provide some fun insights into the characters.)

Special Edition: The Long Game with Leander Schaerlaeckens Jason is taking some time off, so this week he's sharing his full conversation with Leander Schaerlaeckens — journalist, USMNT beat reporter, and author of the new book The Long Game: US Men's Soccer and Its Savage Four-Decade Journey to the Top (or Thereabouts). It's the definitive history of the program, written just in time for the World Cup. Jason calls it a must-read, and this conversation shows why. [0:00:28] — Jason introduces the episode and Leander's new book, The Long Game. He'll be back live soon — catch him at patreon.com/thebestsoccershow for Wednesday office hours, the Bestie Slack, and bonus content. [0:02:50] — Interview begins. Leander on the writing process: three-plus years, 150+ interviews, every US World Cup game since 1990 rewatched — and then US Soccer fired Berhalter and he had to rewrite the whole thing. [0:07:50] — The book's structure: a chronological USMNT history woven with profiles of six current players — Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie, Christian Pulisic, Ricardo Pepi, Matt Turner, and Antonee Robinson — each chosen because their story says something bigger about American soccer. [0:20:00] — The Dark Ages (1950–1990): the USMNT once went 11 years without winning a game and nobody noticed. A 1974 qualifier where they didn't have enough players and pulled one from the stands. A $5 per diem that players were sometimes asked to forego. It was a circus — and Leander went deep on why. [0:31:00] — The big structural question: is a US World Cup win inevitable, or does it require investment that doesn't make financial sense? Leander's take — it's not just a matter of time. The FC Dallas academy director's point lands hard: a kid in Dallas is still 12 times less likely to end up in a professional academy than a kid in Madrid, which has the same population but a dozen pro clubs. [0:43:00] — Closing thoughts: buy the book at your local bookstore or bookshop.org. Jason wraps with a thank-you and outro.

Why is healthcare in America so expensive — and why do insurance companies seem to control so much of the system?On this episode of the Lean to the Left podcast, orthopedic surgeon and author Dr. Erica Rowe Urquhart joins Bob Gatty to expose what she calls the “hidden cause” of America's healthcare crisis. Drawing on two decades of frontline medical experience, Dr. Urquhart explains how insurance companies use prior authorizations, retroactive denials, confusing billing systems, and corporate-driven policies to delay care and maximize profits — often at the expense of patients and doctors alike. Topics discussed include:• Why healthcare costs are hidden from patients• How insurance companies profit from delaying care• The burden of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement systems• Why doctors spend huge amounts of time on paperwork instead of patients• How AI could help modernize healthcare administration• Prescription drug pricing and pharmaceutical greed• Trump and the Affordable Care Act• Whether Medicare for All is realistic• The future of independent medical practicesDr. Urquhart's book, The Invisible Hand Wielding the Scalpel: The Hidden Cause of America's Health Care Crisis, is an Amazon bestseller and offers an insider's look at how corporate healthcare impacts real people every day.

Once the Roman Empire collapsed at the hands of pagan barbarians, Christianity - and western culture - could have been in grave danger of disappearing from the European continent during the “Dark Ages,” were it not for the “light” of monastic communities.

Host Edith welcomes returning guest Caroline Ailanthus to discuss her new epic fantasy novel The Elf, the Dwarf and the Telegraph: Book One, the first in a trilogy. Caroline explains the story's large scope and ensemble cast, centered on three protagonists including Gwen, a transgender half-elf with a sword, in a quasi-Roman world on the brink of civil war driven by environmental justice, conservation, science, and threats to democracy. She reads an excerpt depicting a republic's destabilization and autocratic takeover aided by oligarchs, noting historical inspirations from Sherman, Grant, Lincoln, and Julius Caesar and arguing that environmental problems and political instability are connected. Caroline describes her writing process, research-heavy historical models, spreadsheet character tracking, and structuring one arc into three books, and highlights deliberate Tolkien signals, immersive “history-like” worldbuilding, adult tone without explicit sex, and neurodivergent representation through human/elf/dwarven (“Deger”) neurological differences.00:00 Welcome Back Caroline00:54 What the Book Is About03:42 Fantasy Meets Politics08:59 Reading the Prologue11:09 Origins of the Trilogy15:09 Autocrats and History Rhymes22:44 Timeless Fantasy Themes27:47 Writing Process and Characters31:40 Being Kind to Readers32:35 Managing Character POVs33:47 From Standalone to Trilogy34:37 Civil War Research Scale37:53 Where to Split Books41:35 Is Tolkien Still King45:11 Dwarves and Representation48:26 Dark Ages and Paper53:42 Why Read This Book57:03 Neurodivergent Protagonists59:55 Closing Thanks and WrapIf you like what we do, you might consider buying us a coffee.

Are we living in the end times, or is our "instant-access" culture just making it feel that way? In this episode, the team at SABBSA dives into the complex world of eschatology (the study of end-times prophecy). From the significance of Texas red heifers being sent to Israel to the potential rebuilding of the Third Temple, the hosts examine whether modern global events are truly accelerating toward the return of Christ. The discussion explores why God keeps the exact timing a mystery—noting how historical "certainty" about the end times led to the stagnation of the Dark Ages—and highlights why the re-establishment of Israel remains the most significant prophetic milestone of the last century.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josh Mann and associate editor Adam Wittenberg examine the latest developments in the Iran conflict. They discuss President Trump's extension of the ceasefire, the ongoing U.S. blockade, red lines on nuclear weapons, and questions about who holds power in Iran. The conversation explores whether broader peace in the Middle East could emerge in the coming months.The hosts then turn to domestic politics, analyzing redistricting efforts ahead of the midterms, including a controversial Virginia constitutional amendment, and assess Republican chances of holding congressional majorities. They also consider potential political moves, such as possible marijuana reclassification.A major focus is the ongoing battles over school choice. Adam addresses common objections head-on: whether programs primarily benefit the wealthy, exclude minorities or low-income families, subsidize existing private school attendees, drain public school funding, or enable widespread fraud. Drawing on examples from North Carolina, Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, and others, they show how most programs prioritize lower and middle-income families and often result in government savings.Finally, the discussion continues The Lion's “Out of the Dark Ages” investigative series with a look at the troubling statistical link between transgender identification and acts of violence, including mass shootings. Adam shares findings from a Crime Research Foundation report showing significantly elevated rates, explores connections to underlying mental health issues, and considers possible spiritual dimensions raised by experts and pastors.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:26 - Iran Ceasefire Update00:02:32 - Midterms Redistricting00:05:00 - Republican Midterm Path00:06:56 - School Choice Overview00:08:22 - Benefits Wealthy Claim00:09:30 - Minorities Benefit00:10:59 - Existing Private Students00:12:31 - Public School Funding00:14:14 - Fraud Allegations00:17:13 - Transgender Violence Link00:19:55 - Mental Illness Connection00:21:49 - Spiritual Component00:25:30 - Faith and Freedom 250Follow The Lion on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.  You can also sign-up for our newsletter and follow our coverage at ReadLion.com.To learn more about the Herzog Foundation, visit HerzogFoundation.com.

What did the universe look like before any stars turned on? Astronomers call that time the “dark ages,” and while they think it may be possible to see remnants of it in very low frequency radio signals, hearing those signals from Earth can be challenging.   One possibility is to put a radio telescope on the far side of the moon, where it would have periods of observation shielded from interference both from Earth and from the sun—and potentially be able to receive that dark ages signal. The LuSEE-Night mission will explore that approach. A small demonstration radio telescope is slated for launch in late 2026 to serve as a proof of concept for low frequency radio astronomy on the lunar far side. Astronomer Anže Slosar, lead scientist for LuSEE-Night, joins Host Ira Flatow to describe the telescope project and what astronomers hope to achieve by sending it to the moon.

Under den tidiga medeltiden formades en kultur som förenade högt och lågt i mötet mellan det lärda och det folkliga. En kultur som på flera punkter var långt ifrån okontroversiell. Prästerna ryste över folks vidskepligheter och såg till att fästa sina åsikter på pränt. I lagar, dikter, pedagogiska texter och till och med uppslagsverk gav sig skribenterna i kast med föreställningar om änglar, demoner, häxor, trollkarlar, spåmän, astrologer, djävulsdyrkare och allt möjligt annat som uppfattades som besynnerligt.Till de största fördomarna mot tidig medeltid hör att epoken var osedvanligt ”mörk”. Det är inte av en slump som den brukar kallas the Dark Ages på engelska. I detta ligger en bister förutfattad mening – att vi vet oerhört lite om perioden, att alltför få källor är bevarade för att vi skall kunna bilda oss en uppfattning om hur folk tyckte, tänkte och levde. Men fördomen vilar på lös grund. Vi vet mycket mer än vi inbillar oss.I själva verket har vi mängder av källor, framför allt skrivna av präster och munkar, som skänker oss information om allt mellan himmel och jord.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om den kreativa folktro som bredde ut sig i mötet mellan kristendomen och äldre religioner.Bild: Illustration av djävulen i Djävulsbibeln (Codex Gigas).

Against the Machine: On the Unmaking of Humanity By: Paul Kingsnorth Published: 2025 368 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? Before Kingsnorth can tell you how to be against the Machine, he first sets out to define it. The Machine is multi-faceted, but Kingsnorth distills it down into four S's: Science, The Self, Sex, and the Screen. To take a position "against the Machine" he urges a return to the four P's: People, Place, Prayer, and the Past. But before you grasp this simple heuristic too firmly, it turns out that not all P's are good, and not all S's are bad. He is opposed to progress, particularly as it reduces everything to the parameterized, portable, plannable, and ultimately purchasable. On the other side, he is attempting to carve out a path to salvation, through a return to Christian values, a settledness that comes from having a place and community, and a sacredness that comes from connecting with the natural world. What authorial biases should I be aware of? Kingsnorth has huge biases. He's an ex-environmental activist who converted to Orthodox Christianity. He's spent decades opposing globalization, technocratic progress, and materialism. It's not true to say that he opposes all progress, but he certainly thinks that progress has gone from something we do, to something that is done to us—the Machine of the title, which turns everything (nature, people, culture, pleasure)  into raw material that needs to serve ever more productive ends.  As such he makes no pretense at being balanced. And that's part of the book's value. This is a steelman of the anti-progress argument and a powerful rhetorical broadside against the technological miasma we're currently wading through.  Who should read this book? I think those who would benefit most from this book probably won't read it. And those who will read it, might end up being too radicalized. I personally think that Kingsnorth is pointing in the correct direction, but as a practical matter we can't all duplicate Kingsnorth's life in rural Ireland, growing our own food and fuel, while making a living as a writer. To be fair that's not how he sees things playing out, but he still has a tendency to lump all of progress into one negative whole, without much effort to identify things that might have been useful. What does the book have to say about the future? He doesn't think we're going to overthrow the Machine, or even deflect it very much. He's urging people to outlast it in the same way that Irish monasteries kept the light of knowledge alive during the Dark Ages.   Specific thoughts: What exactly is the "Machine"?

We have the i-Phone to thank for the fast death of literacy & rise of autocracy"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book because there would be no one who wanted to read one."— Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to DeathThis week, Nick Cohen talks to essayist and Times journalist James Marriott about Marriott's essay on "The dawn of the post-literate society" and his upcoming book "The New Dark Ages." James argued that mass literacy, which emerged in the 18th century, was fundamental to democracy, science, and philosophy, but that modern screen-based technologies like smartphones are replacing reading and leading to mass cognitive decline.James and Nick discuss how television and now social media platforms like TikTok are changing political discourse, making it more emotional and less rational, with examples like Donald Trump's anti-vaxx stance and the rise of populist leaders who thrive on screen.James concludes that democracy may not be sustainable in our current information environment, as it relies on abstract thinking that doesn't translate well to visual media formatsRead all about it!James Marriott is a columnist and film critic on The Times, and has own Substack column, Cultural Capital. James's Substack essay on how the smart phone is helping to usher in a new dark age - The dawn of the post-literate society - And the end of civilisation - went viral and has led to his first book, to be published by Bodley Head - an imprint of Penguin - either next month or in the Autumn, The new Dark Ages: the end of reading and the dawn of a post-literate society.

Dr. Josh Mann and reporter Michaela Estruth examine the latest developments in the Middle East, including a new ten-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon and ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. They discuss how the Trump administration's tax cuts are delivering real benefits to families, small businesses, and service workers—no longer taxing tips—and highlight positive stories from Kansas City business owners celebrating these changes.The conversation shifts to striking new statistics on births and abortions in the U.S., with Planned Parenthood reporting over 434,000 procedures in the latest fiscal year. Michaela breaks down what these numbers reveal and explores how states like Iowa and New Mexico are building effective pro-life coalitions through unified messaging and prayer.Finally, associate editor Adam Wittenberg joins to unpack the science behind transgender ideology as part of The Lion's “Out of the Dark Ages” investigative series. Experts explain why biological sex is determined by chromosomes and gametes, why medical groups shifted despite weak evidence, and the troubling findings from a major Finnish study showing increased suicide risk after procedures. The discussion covers the reversal now underway through politics, lawsuits, and public pushback, offering clear guidance for parents navigating these issues.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:45 - Middle East Ceasefire00:01:43 - Tax Cuts Impact00:03:38 - Abortion Statistics00:05:32 - Pro-Life Coalitions00:07:06 - Egg Freezing Concerns00:07:58 - Transgender Science Series00:10:10 - Only Two Sexes00:13:04 - Medical Pressure00:15:22 - Procedure Safety00:18:39 - Advice for Parents00:21:19 - Reasons for Pushback00:25:30 - Faith and Freedom 250Follow The Lion on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.  You can also sign-up for our newsletter and follow our coverage at ReadLion.com.To learn more about the Herzog Foundation, visit HerzogFoundation.com.

Hey Geeks, this week we chat about the DMCA system and how some people like to misuse it to win arguments. We also talk about censorship on the Google Play store. This is indeed the Dark Ages for Consoles, but is there something at least Microsoft and Sony could do to fix that ... psst, it has to do with their prices. Shh, don't tell anyone. One of us went to see the Super Mario Galaxy Movie and has a somewhat surprising take on it from most critics. Additionally, we've been watching a crap ton of anime so might as well give our latest recommendations on those. Oh and we chat a bit about some of the games we've been playing.

Dr. Josh Mann and Michael Ryan review the week's top stories. They discuss the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement announced just before Trump's deadline, optimism mixed with skepticism about the regime's reliability, and Trump's "art of the deal" approach. Local coverage includes a Wyandotte County repeat offender with over 50 convictions rearrested for murder while on probation, highlighting soft-on-crime policies and revolving-door justice. The conversation shifts to The Lion's new investigative series "Out of the Dark Ages," examining the origins of youth gender dysphoria as a social contagion fueled by social media, the Dutch protocol's role in puberty blockers and surgeries, and the medical community's reevaluation of evidence. They critique euphemisms like "gender-affirming care," corporate insurance coverage, and the need for parental vigilance. The episode closes with "Faith and Freedom 250," honoring Billy Sunday's bold evangelism and moral courage during America's industrial-era challenges.00:00:00 - Introduction and Week Preview00:00:26 - U.S.-Iran Ceasefire Announcement00:01:16 - Skepticism on Regime Reliability00:02:33 - Trump's Brinkmanship and Deal-Making00:03:36 - Wyandotte County Repeat Offender Case00:04:59 - Soft-on-Crime Policies and Revolving Door00:06:33 - Origins of Youth Gender Dysphoria00:08:25 - Social Contagion and Rapid Onset00:10:52 - Dutch Protocol and Puberty Blockers00:12:35 - Medical Community Reevaluation00:14:05 - Euphemisms and Corporate Involvement00:15:40 - Parental Vigilance and Language00:17:35 - Billy Sunday and Faith Legacy00:19:42 - Moral Courage in Crisis00:25:44 - Faith and Freedom 250 SegmentFollow The Lion on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.  You can also sign-up for our newsletter and follow our coverage at ReadLion.com.To learn more about the Herzog Foundation, visit HerzogFoundation.com.

The Mercian king history reduced to a ditch—but changed EnglandMost people know Offa of Mercia for one thing: a giant ditch dividing England and Wales. But that familiar image hides a far more powerful—and fascinating—figure.In this episode, host Paul Bavill is joined by Cambridge historian Rory Naismith to challenge the long-standing myth of Offa as a brutal warlord. Instead, we uncover a ruler who helped shape the political, economic, and diplomatic foundations of early England.Why Offa of Mercia deserves a rethinkFor centuries, narratives shaped by sources like the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle have painted Offa as a violent tyrant. But as Rory explains, that version of history is incomplete—and often biased.Look closer, and a different picture emerges:A king who ruled for nearly 40 years, stabilising a vast kingdom A ruler who centralised power across southern England A leader who pioneered systems later used by kings like Alfred the Great Offa wasn't just surviving—he was building something lasting.More than Offa's DykeYes, Offa's Dyke is impressive—stretching coast to coast and rivaling Roman engineering in scale. But it wasn't simply a defensive ditch.It was:A symbol of power and dominance A political statement to neighbouring Welsh kingdoms Part of a wider strategy to control borders and project authority Offa wasn't just reacting—he was sending a message.The king who connected kingdomsFar from being isolated, Offa operated in a deeply interconnected world.This episode explores:His rivalry and diplomacy with Charlemagne Trade, coinage, and economic reform across his realm A remarkable gold coin linking Mercia to the Islamic world From Rome to Francia, Offa was playing the game of international politics at the highest level.Offa's real legacyForget the “bloodthirsty conqueror” cliché. Offa's greatest achievement was something far more significant:Creating a unified system of kingship Bringing together multiple regions under one authority Laying the groundwork for the future kingdom of England Without Offa, the later successes of rulers like Alfred may not have been possible.Listen MoreEpisode 16 – Eleanor Janega on the Dark Ages: https://pod.fo/e/11c7f3Episode 240 – Dirk Hoffman-Becking on the Holy Roman Empire: https://pod.fo/e/3330ceGuest details: Rory NaismithTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/rory_naismith

For nearly two thousand years, swords reigned as humanity's weapon of choice—the first tools designed exclusively to kill other humans rather than hunt animals. When archaeologist Paul Gething rediscovered a rusty blade forgotten in a suitcase for thirty years, he unknowingly held one of history's most sophisticated weapons: a seventh-century Northumbrian sword so complex and finely crafted that only a king could have commanded its creation. The Bamburgh Sword tells the story of Anglo-Saxon England from 450 to 1066 AD, when feuding warlords wielded these pattern-welded blades with razor-sharp steel edges and bendy iron cores—weapons so precious they were covered with jeweled handles and ornate scabbards. Today's guest is Edoardo Albert, author of The Perfect Sword: Forging the Dark Ages. We discuss how Bronze Age smiths in Minoan Crete around 1700 BC created the first definitive swords, how the introduction of iron around 1300 BC democratized warfare by putting blades in everyone's hands, and why the Bamburgh Sword represents the pinnacle of Anglo-Saxon craftsmanship. We also explore what was lost when firearms replaced swords—as the Turkish folk hero Köroğlu reportedly lamented: "The rifle was invented, and bravery was ruined."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, March 17, is the Memorial of St. Patrick, a bishop chosen by God 1.500 years ago to preach His glory by bringing Christianity to Ireland, a little country which would be converted from their pagan gods to the one true God.Today, Irishmen venerate him as their father in the Faith.Sf. Patrick was born about 385 in the British Isles. In Roman Britain, when he was 16, while he was tending his sheep, Irish raiders captured him and sold him into slavery. Six years later, he escaped to Europe, became a monk, and was ordained; he then returned to Ireland to preach the Gospel.During the thirty years of missionary work, he covered the Island with churches and monasteries and founded the metropolitan see of Armagh.Many legends are associated with St. Patrick: how he drove the snakes out of Ireland and how he used the shamrock to teach the mystery of the Trinity.Ireland, although a small country, played a large role in spreading the true faith to the world. During the early Dark Ages, and while Europe remained in darkness, the Irish monasteries preserved Western writingsIn his autobiography, Confessions, written in true humility, St. Patrick said,“I am greatly God's debtor, because he granted me so much grace, that through me many people would be reborn in God.”Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Is Agile Coaching a Waste of Money?Around the world, software organizations are desperately trying to improve how their teams build and deliver software. Companies will hire herds of “wise sage” coaches to bring them out of the Dark Ages but are often disappointed when nothing extraordinary happens. Despite pouring loads of money into coaching efforts, their applications still fail to perform, their customers are still not having their needs met, and it still takes forever to get an idea to become reality. This project is 50% over budget, that one has missed three delivery dates now, and nothing seems to be going as planned. While all this is going on, agile coaches are hard at work “making the world a better place.”How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

SHOW NOTES FOR “A CALENDAR OF GREGORIES” The bracket is back! Paul's application of March Madness oddsmaking to the name and fame of popes throughout history returns in this episode. Co-hosts Paul and Bill, after completing a tour of popes called Leo, now look at Pope Gregory, a popular name that appeared in sixteen iterations. This makes for an informative roller coaster ride through the past. This chain started out with a man actually born as Gregory. He chose to be Pope Gregory I and ruled in the Vatican in the years 590-604, but the Catholic Church has chosen to call him Gregory the Great. He did much to shape the Church of the Dark Ages and Medieval times. He was a great administrator, even helping to “orchestrate” the development of Gregorian Chant. He is a canonized saint. Gregory II reigned in 715-731. He was one of the popes dealing with warring European factions and with the rise of Islam. He is a canonized saint. Gregory III, whose term was 731-741, addressed issues such as iconoclasm, a penchant among some European Catholic factions as well as in Islam. Paul goes on to tell tales of Gregory IV (827-844) and of Gregory V (996-999), who was the first German pope, and of Gregory VI (1045-1046). This simoniac resigned a year before his death. Gregory VII (1073-1085) was born Hildebrand of Sovana. This great reformer is a canonized saint. Gregory VIII ruled for two months in 1187. Gregory IX (1227-1241) was followed by Gregory X (1271-1276) and by Gregory XI (1370-1378), who was the last French pope and the last pope to reign in Avignon as the holy see. Gregory XII (1406-1415) He was the last of the Roman line during the Western Schism (1378–1417), when the papacy was contested by antipopes in Avignon (France) and in Pisa (Italy). Gregory XIII (1572-1585) promulgated the Gregorian Calendar. Gregory XIV had a short tenure in 1590-1591. Then came Gregory XV (1621-1623). Gregory XVI (1831-1846) presided over debates on how to handle the future of the papal states, and he supported traditional monarchies in Europe, says Britannica. He was the last pope named Gregory. The classic papal name Gregory provides a throughline for viewing immense change between the secular and the sacred, spanning conflict and continuity in the first and second millennia of the Common Era. The calendar changed, but the Church is still here. Photo: Unidentified, San Gregorio Magno, 18th century, carved and painted wood, 27 1⁄2 x 9 5⁄8 x 9 1⁄4 in.
