John moves from pulling back the curtain on the “Eternal City” of Rome and gives us an image of what could be with the “Holy City” of the New Jerusalem. This week we look at the images and words John uses to describe what could be.

This special edition of The Catholic Guy Podcast covers Lino's reactions to first hearing the news of Pope Francis' death to talking about his life and legacy. Lino then heads to Rome to cover the funeral in the Eternal City.

At exactly the moment these first century Jesus followers were feeling utterly powerless to change their fate, John shows them a realm where wholeness, harmony, health, bliss, peace, joy, justice, healing, and universal flourishing become a reality. The old Eternal City of Rome has ended to give room to the new Holy City of Jerusalem that is emerging.

What does it look like to step out in faith, even when the path is unclear? In Hebrews 11:8-10, Dr. John reflects on Abraham's journey—leaving everything behind to trust God's promises. Abraham's story challenges us to live boldly, trusting that God's faithfulness will guide us. How can we embrace this kind of faith in our own lives?Defining Faith: How should someone approach God? Do they offer a scorecard of their successes or an inventory of their better qualities? The Bible is clear. We come to God by faith, and we live our lives with God through faith. Since faith is central, we should understand what it is and how it works. In this series Dr. John teaches through Hebrews 11, a chapter on faith. Listen, not for stories of faith in the past, but as a guide for your life today.

Manchester United's Europa League campaign continues to frustrate, as wasted chances and VAR meant Ruben Amorim's men had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Real Sociedad.

Elsewhere, Italian teams delivered the chaos, with Roma and a nine-man Lazio pulling off dramatic last-gasp wins against Athletic Bilbao and Viktoria Plzeň, respectively. With both Roman clubs making deep runs, could the trophy be heading to the Eternal City?

Patrick Madrid gets into a question from Emily in Maine, who’s wondering if she has to pack her bags for Rome to receive a plenary indulgence during the Jubilee Year. Here's the Explanation: Patrick explains that while Rome’s Holy Doors are a major focus during the Jubilee Year, you don’t actually need to fly to the Eternal City to participate. Many dioceses around the world designate their own churches: usually cathedrals or significant shrines, with Holy Doors. So, you can check out your diocesan website to see which local church has been designated. Once you know where the doors are, you can receive the same plenary indulgence as if you were in St. Peter’s Basilica. So, What’s a Plenary Indulgence Anyway? Patrick gives a quick theology lesson: A plenary indulgence is the "complete remission of the punishment due to sins that have already been forgiven." It’s like hitting the reset button on your soul’s "penance odometer." To receive it, you need to: Be in a state of grace (go to Confession if needed!). Renounce all attachment to sin: even those sneaky past sins you might secretly still take pride or enjoyment in. Perform the prescribed act (in this case, passing through a Holy Door). Receive Communion and pray for the Pope’s intentions (like an Our Father and a Hail Mary). Patrick makes it clear that detachment from sin doesn’t mean you need to feel it emotionally. It’s an act of the will: a firm decision to reject sin out of true love for God. What About Rome? Emily mentions she’d love to go to Rome (don’t we all?), but it’s just not possible. Patrick assures her that the indulgence she gets at her local Holy Door is just as “full” as the one you’d get in Rome. There’s no "extra holy" indulgence for jetsetters: it’s the same grace whether you’re at St. Peter’s or in Portland, Maine. Final Thought: If you’re dreaming of Rome but stuck at home, don’t sweat it. Holy Doors are popping up all over the world, and the grace is universal. So, grab your diocesan map, check out your nearest Holy Door, and step into the incredible mercy God is offering you this Jubilee Year. Hey, maybe pray for a miracle trip to Rome while you’re at it. You never know what door God might open for you, literally!

5 Paleo-Christian Churches: A Suggested Itinerary for the Jubilee Year, with a focus on Rome's oldest churches....and nearby tasty eateries! Rome is a city of unparalleled history, where every cobblestone whispers tales of the past. As the Eternal City gears up for the 2025 Jubilee Year, it's already brimming with visitors. But amidst the grandeur of St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican, there lies another Rome—a quieter, more spiritual side that echoes the city's earliest Christian heritage. In a recent podcast interview, I had the pleasure of chatting with David Laskin, a renowned author and NYT travel journalist, about his suggested itinerary to explore five of Rome's oldest churches. These hidden gems offer a peaceful respite from the bustling crowds while immersing visitors in the city's rich Paleo-Christian history.

It's the Year of Jubilee: discover its ancient traditions and how you can take part. A Jubilee veteran shares her top tips for making a pilgrimage to Rome, and meet American Catholics who are joining tens of millions of faithful traveling to the Eternal City this year. Father Paul Hartmann with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops shares how parishes and dioceses can participate in the Jubilee at home. As Blessed Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati await their canonization masses this year, we explore the young future saints' legacy and how they're inspiring American ministries reach young people. Plus, a special call to mercy in the Jubilee Year: Dominican friar Father Thomas Petri and Franciscan friar Father John Paul Mary explain the role of Pope Francis' Missionaries of Mercy and how they reveal the heart of his papacy.

2025 is a busy year in Rome. The Roman Catholic Church is celebrating a Jubilee, which only happens every 25 years. Listen to this episode if you're considering taking a trip to the Eternal City this year. 

Tonight's programme is a repeat of our Christmas Day special documentary 'Pope Leo's Elephant'. In 1514, King Manuel I of Portugal sent an extraordinary diplomatic gift to Pope Leo X: an Asian Elephant named Hanno. Derek Mooney and Niall Hatch dig deeper into Hanno's remarkable story in the Eternal City, Rome.

The Catholic Jubilee Year, established in 1300 by Pope Boniface VIII, is rooted in the Jewish tradition of releasing prisoners, forgiving debts, and restoring harmony every 50 years. During the Jubilee, Catholics can receive plenary indulgences, which remove the temporal punishment for sins that have already been forgiven and can be offered for others, such as those in purgatory. In this episode of Inside the Vatican, Colleen Dulle and Gerard O'Connell discuss the 2025 Jubilee Year, beginning on Christmas Eve 2024 and ending in January 2026. With the theme “Pilgrims of Hope,” Pope Francis seeks to rekindle hope and trust in the future, encouraging Catholics to deepen their faith through acts of charity, penance, and pilgrimage. The hosts explore the history of the Jubilee Year, the Vatican's plans for 2025, and Rome's preparations to accommodate an anticipated 32 million pilgrims. They also offer travel tips for visitors and alternatives for those unable to make the trip to the Eternal City.

Where to begin? (No really, what date is this film even taking place in?) Ridley Scott returns us to his vision of ancient Rome that was laid out over twenty years ago. While we do see a lot of new faces in the Eternal City, the overall story is wrapped up in its mythologizing of the original. Joining the crew is a very special guest (and Maximus/mentor figure to two of your hosts), Dr. Glenn Storey to discuss this Hollywood take on the Roman Empire. From ships and sharks in the Colosseum to a slightly morbid excerpt from Vergil written on a child's bedroom wall, there are quite a few moments that give us pause. Looking beyond the little inaccuracies that feel designed to troll ancient scholars (Persians vs. Trojans at the Battle of Salamis?), we focus on what the film is trying to reflect about our own modern society. And what we see is a lot scarier than the CGI baboons.

The city of Rome is a legacy locale in countless areas of history and culture. For teenage refugee André Aciman, Rome was also a source of life-changing challenges, charms, and connections that would have a place in his heart for years to come. In his upcoming book Roman Year: A Memoir, Aciman recounts the ways his family adapted to the harsh realities of their transition and how he himself fell in love with the poetry and potential of a new home. Roman Year transports readers back to a tumultuous chapter of Aciman's youth as his Jewish family fled an era of growing political tension and waves of expulsions occurring in 1950's Egypt. Leaving their notions of stability, economic status, and community behind in Alexandria, Aciman ushered his younger brother and their deaf mother into the unfamiliar expanses of Rome. Navigating newfound poverty, acting as interpreter through language barriers, and functioning as liaison amidst family conflicts led young Aciman towards escapism as he buried himself in books. It is here, bolstered by so many words and stories, that he regained his footing and began to truly explore his new city and himself. Roman Year takes the form of a vivid multi-sensory snapshot, going beyond simple time and place in immersing readers in the author's vantage point. Aciman revisits memories ranging from richly depicted sights, smells, and tastes to poignant personal reflections to uncompromising critical observations. This passionate retelling captures the formative elements of Roman life that shaped the perspective Aciman would carry with him into future chapters and well past those city limits. Roman Year unwaveringly explores a complicated coming of age story and the concept of home in a lush, layered landscape. André Aciman is a professor, essayist, and author. He is currently a distinguished professor of comparative literature at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. His previous publications include the novels Call Me By Your Name, Harvard Square, and Eight White Nights, the memoir Out Of Egypt, and the essay collection False Papers: Essays on Exile and Memory.

Send us a textRome was a neglected swamp when Pope Nicholas V came to power. An extremely well educated humanist, Medici ally, and frequenter of the classicist circles in Florence and Bologna, Nicholas was elected pope in 1447, arriving in a city whose former glory was buried in the mud. The papacy he inherited was fragile, as it recently endured the relocation from Avignon and the infamous Papal Schism. A relatively peaceful man, Nicholas V was intent on dispelling further papal conflicts and focus on rebuilding the Eternal City. Only through his mass patronage of artists, architects, and bookmakers was Rome able to awake from its slumber, reborn with a new Renaissance skin. This episode looks into the history of Pope Nicholas V, his patronage, and the crucial groundwork he laid for the reconstruction of not only the Vatican and the Apostolic Library, but for all of Rome to prepare itself for the glory of the High Renaissance. Primary Works Discussed: Fra Angelico, Niccoline Chapel, 1447-49. Follow us, shop, and watch our videos: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

Full Text of ReadingsFriday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 465The Saint of the day is Saint John XXIIISaint John XXIII's Story Although few people had as great an impact on the 20th century as Pope John XXIII, he avoided the limelight as much as possible. Indeed, one writer has noted that his “ordinariness” seems one of his most remarkable qualities. The firstborn son of a farming family in Sotto il Monte, near Bergamo in northern Italy, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli was always proud of his down-to-earth roots. In Bergamo's diocesan seminary, he joined the Secular Franciscan Order. After his ordination in 1904, Fr. Roncalli returned to Rome for canon law studies. He soon worked as his bishop's secretary, Church history teacher in the seminary, and as publisher of the diocesan paper. His service as a stretcher-bearer for the Italian army during World War I gave him a firsthand knowledge of war. In 1921, Fr. Roncalli was made national director in Italy of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. He also found time to teach patristics at a seminary in the Eternal City. In 1925, he became a papal diplomat, serving first in Bulgaria, then in Turkey, and finally in France. During World War II, he became well acquainted with Orthodox Church leaders. With the help of Germany's ambassador to Turkey, Archbishop Roncalli helped save an estimated 24,000 Jewish people. Named a cardinal and appointed patriarch of Venice in 1953, he was finally a residential bishop. A month short of entering his 78th year, Cardinal Roncalli was elected pope, taking the name John after his father and the two patrons of Rome's cathedral, St. John Lateran. Pope John took his work very seriously but not himself. His wit soon became proverbial, and he began meeting with political and religious leaders from around the world. In 1962, he was deeply involved in efforts to resolve the Cuban missile crisis. His most famous encyclicals were Mother and Teacher (1961) and Peace on Earth (1963). Pope John XXIII enlarged the membership in the College of Cardinals and made it more international. At his address at the opening of the Second Vatican Council, he criticized the “prophets of doom” who “in these modern times see nothing but prevarication and ruin.” Pope John XXIII set a tone for the Council when he said, “The Church has always opposed… errors. Nowadays, however, the Spouse of Christ prefers to make use of the medicine of mercy rather than that of severity.” On his deathbed, Pope John said: “It is not that the gospel has changed; it is that we have begun to understand it better. Those who have lived as long as I have…were enabled to compare different cultures and traditions, and know that the moment has come to discern the signs of the times, to seize the opportunity and to look far ahead.” “Good Pope John” died on June 3, 1963. St. John Paul II beatified him in 2000, and Pope Francis canonized him in 2014. Reflection Throughout his life, Angelo Roncalli cooperated with God's grace, believing that the job at hand was worthy of his best efforts. His sense of God's providence made him the ideal person to promote a new dialogue with Protestant and Orthodox Christians, as well as with Jews and Muslims. In the sometimes noisy crypt of St. Peter's Basilica, many people become silent on seeing the simple tomb of Pope John XXIII, grateful for the gift of his life and holiness. After his beatification, his tomb was moved into the basilica itself. Learn more about Pope John XXIII! Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

In this episode of “Kimberly's Italy,” we delve into the fascinating layers of Italian culture, history, art, and cuisine, weaving stories and personal experiences that transport you straight to Italy. This isn't your typical language course or a strict travel guide; rather, it's an invitation to enjoy the wonders of Italy through our eyes and experiences. Listener Engagement: We address a range of listener feedback, including some critiques of Tommaso's charm and the occasional negative or boring content. Despite these varied opinions, we value all reviews and maintain a strong connection with our audience. Client Experiences: Our clients in Rome share their joy in the Eternal City and their excitement for an upcoming wedding on the Amalfi Coast. Le Marche Exploration: We discuss Le Marche's geography and transportation, noting the region's unique beach improvements. Highlights include the region's local cuisine, emphasizing olives, truffles, and wine. A contrast between Italian and American beaches is provided. Our travels in Urbino reveal its rich historical landmarks and underscore the value of exploring small villages for authentic cultural interactions. Umbria Insights: Known as the “green heart of Italy,” Umbria is celebrated for its landscapes and agricultural products, including olive oil, wine, and cured meats. Anecdotes from a dinner party highlight the popularity of these cured meats which continue to be made in the Umbrian tradition. Umbria's less crowded appeal compared to Tuscany is due to fewer accommodations and the lack of a large international airport. However, the train option provides an alternative to costly private drivers. Travel Planning: Discussion of the unique accommodation options such as renovated castles and organic farm stays. Kimberly's clients are eloping in Umbria next spring and chose a one of the renovated castles we just highlighted. Follow us on Social Media Instagram Facebook
