ANALIZĂ Patriotism sub semnul AUR. Adrian Papahagi: „Cum poți să justifici iubirea de țară lăudând principalii dușmani ai României?” (Adevărul) - Judecătorii admit că în pandemie au fost pacienți care au murit după ce au luat COVID din spitale. Ce daune pot primi rudele celor decedați (Libertatea)  - Ultima ediție Fidelis din 2025: Dobânzile și miliardele cu care românii au împrumutat statul în acest an (CursDeGuvernare) Dragoş Damian, Terapia: Nicuşor Dan, discurs de mare CEO, de mare corporaţie, de 1 Decembrie 2025. Aveam nevoie de asta (Ziarul Financiar) Nu este un comentariu de tip odă conducătorului suprem însă, trebuie să recunoaştem, este prima dată când un Preşedinte al României ne vorbeşte, cu candoare, dacă putem spune aşa, despre adevăratele probleme din societate, citim în ZF. ”Trăim mai prost decât anul trecut. Dar trăim mult mai bine decât acum 20 de ani. Şi trăim mai bine decât mulţi din oamenii din ţări vecine nouă”. De fapt trăim mai bine chiar decât anul trecut, au crescut salarii şi pensii. “România este o ţară coruptă (…) .Totuşi, suntem mai puţin corupţi decât acum 20 de ani”. Nu trebuie să fim supăraţi pe cei care primesc şpagă ci pe noi, cei care o dăm. Daca mediul de afaceri va înceta să dea şpagă atunci mâine România va fi mai puţin coruptă decât este astăzi. “Avem multe zone de excelenţă în educaţie, dar, în ansamblu, sistemul de învăţământ este slab spre foarte slab. Şi asta o să ne provoace mari probleme în viitor. Sistemul sanitar este departe, foarte departe de unde ar fi putut să fie cu toţi banii pe care noi toţi i-am dus încolo. Dar vedem totuşi primele corpuri noi de spital care sunt construite prin finanţare din PNRR” Discurs de mare CEO al unei mari corporaţii. Dacă recunoşti care sunt problemele reale din organizaţie vei ştii care sunt măsurile de remediere de care organizaţia are nevoie. Şi o vei salva, conchide Dragoș Damian, directorul general al Terapia Cluj. ANALIZĂ Patriotism sub semnul AUR. Adrian Papahagi: „Cum poți să justifici iubirea de țară lăudând principalii dușmani ai României?” (Adevărul) George Simion a fost prezent luni, la Alba Iulia, cu ocazia Zilei Naționale. Îmbrăcat într-un cojoc tradițional, liderul AUR a participat în orașul Marii Uniri la un miting, alături de câteva sute de membri și simpatizanți ai partidului, care au fluturat steaguri tricolore și au scandat pentru „suveranitate” națională. Este o imagine pe care AUR o pune în scenă cu regularitate, în încercarea de a capitaliza politic curentul patriotic ignorat de partidele politice mainstream. Cu alte cuvinte, „cine nu-i cu noi este împotriva României”, un refren des utilizat în ultimii ani. Faptul că George Simion și ceilalți lideri AUR își autoproclamă regulat patriotismul nu îi face însă cu nimic mai iubitori de țară, remarcă profesorul Adrian Papahagi, care subliniază, într-o analiză pentru „Adevărul”, că patriotismul adevărat se măsoară prin faptele unui om. Radu Carp: Observ un fenomen îngrijorător, normalizarea în societate a discursului de tip AUR - Interviu video (SpotMedia) România se confruntă cu o serie de provocări, de la consolidarea extremei drepte până la o criză internă de reprezentare, dar și una legată de capacitatea de guvernare.  Profesorul Radu Carp a analizat modul în care România a gestionat anul 2025 și de ce formațiunile populiste precum AUR și-au atins maximul de potențial, situat undeva la 40%.  Această ascensiune a extremelor politice face parte dintr-un fenomen european, alimentat de o uriașă criză a reprezentării, generată de rețelele sociale. Cunoscutul analist politic consideră că țara noastră nu are o alternativă la extremism în afara actualei coaliții de guvernare. Mai multe în interviul video de pe pagina SpotMedia. Judecătorii admit că în pandemie au fost pacienți care au murit după ce au luat COVID din spitale. Ce daune pot primi rudele celor decedați (Libertatea)  În pandemie, 24.527 de pacienți s-au infectat cu COVID în spitalele din România, potrivit datelor oficiale. Erau oameni internați pentru alte probleme medicale, numite „comorbidități” de cei din Grupul de Comunicare Strategică. Erau părinții sau copiii cuiva, veniți la spital ca să se vindece. Mulți dintre ei au plecat de aici în saci de nailon. După ani buni, instanțele recunosc că ceea ce s-a întâmplat atunci în spitale a încălcat legea. În câteva cazuri, rudele celor decedați au dat în judecată spitalele şi au cerut daune. Pe portalul hotărârilor judecătoreşti din România există patru dosare de acest fel. Unul singur a ajuns, între timp, la finalul procesului. Libertatea vă dezvăluie toate aceste patru poveşti cutremurătoare, dar şi deciziile judecătorilor, în fiecare dintre ele.    Ultima ediție Fidelis din 2025: Dobânzile și miliardele cu care românii au împrumutat statul în acest an (CursDeGuvernare) Ministerul Finanțelor va derula, în perioada 5-12 decembrie, ultima ediție Fidelis a acestui an, potrivit unui anunț al ministerului.  Ediția din decembrie vine cu dobânzi de până la 7,55% la emisiunile în lei și de până la 6,20% la cele în euro. Persoanele fizice rezidente și nerezidente cu vârsta peste 18 ani pot subscrie în titlurile de stat FIDELIS denominate în lei și în euro prin intermediul băncilor partenere. Per total,cumulat, în cele 10 ediții lunare din acest an ale Fidelis, Guvernul a împrumutat de la populație 19,6 miliarde de lei, conform calculelor CursDeGuvernare.ro, ceva mai mult peste ce lua în 2024, când o ediție Fidelis avea loc la 2 luni și Finanțele atrăgeau pe emisiune între 3 și 3,5 miliarde de lei de la populație, pentru finanțarea deficitului bugetar. De notat că titlurile de stat beneficiază de un regim fiscal special, fiind neimpozabile.

In February 1917, Our Lady asked three children in Fatima to make reparation to her Immaculate Heart. Of those sins she requested reparation for was in response to those who fostered in the hearts of children indifference or contempt for our Blessed Mother. Distressingly, in our own time, we witness the Church fostering that very indifference, indeed blasphemy, toward Our Lady out of a distorted belief in "clarifying" the proper titles we should ascribe to her. That is why it is imperative that we daily renew our devotion to the Blessed Virgin, seeking always on behalf of ourselves and the entire Church forgiveness for this great offense.

Tras la publicación de la nota doctrinal Mater populi Fidelis, en la iglesia católica se levantó un huracán de polémicas en cuanto a lo de María como redentora, la cuestión es simple: el laico o fiel de a pie ha quedado en medio de este torbellino, ante ello, ¿qué actitud y acciones a tomar y creer por parte de los fieles sobre el dicasterio y de quienes se han pronunciado negativamente?

Welcome to The PCC Podcast, the uplifting series that takes you on a soulful journey through the timeless messages of the Gospel. Immerse yourself in the transformative power of faith, hope, and love as we explore the sacred scriptures and delve into the profound teachings of Jesus Christ.

On July 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared for the second time to the three children of Fatima. She promised to work a miracle on October 13, so that everyone would believe. Then, she asked the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to pray the following prayer when doing so: “O Jesus, it is for love of you, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”These three young children were already familiar with the conception of praying and making sacrifices in order to make up for sin.God had sent an angel to them the year before, to prepare them for the apparitions of Our Lady. This guardian angel of Portugal taught the children about their mission: it was for them to do prayer and penance for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for sin, to stop sin from being committed in the future and to repair for sin already committed in the past.Later, Our Lady came to ask for the practice of the five first Saturdays devotion. This is a devotion of reparation for the offenses committed against Our Lady's Immaculate Heart. There are five first Saturdays because there are five types of blasphemies that are committed against Our Lady.The fourth type is the “blasphemies of those who seek openly to foster in the hearts of children indifference or contempt for this Immaculate Mother.”These facts about the message of Fatima show us that Heaven takes very seriously the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Lady would not come down on earth, speak to the three children, and work incredible miracles for no reason.Another thing that we learn is that the work of reparation is very important. Every sin is a crime against God, an injustice. Every sin deserves a punishment to make up for the injustice.There are many sins being committed around the world all the time. God looks for souls who are willing to pay for the sins of mankind. Our Lord and Our Lady, of course, paid a great price for the sins of the world, enough to wipe them all away.However, God did not want to leave us with nothing to do in the supernatural order. Rather, God asks that we unite with the work of Our Lord and Our Lady to do something to pay for sin ourselves. He asks for the work of “reparation”, making up for sin by prayer and sacrifice.This is what the Sacred Heart asked of St. Margaret Mary and us. This is what the Immaculate Heart asked of the three children of Fatima and us.Doing this work is part of living a Catholic life.The most important sins for us to make reparation for are sins of blasphemy. St. Thomas says that blasphemy is “the disparagement of some surpassing goodness, especially that of God”.What Fr. Pagliarani and Fr. Fullerton are asking us to do is to make reparation for a sort of blasphemy against the Mother of God in the form of the document Mater Populi Fidelis of the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith.This document disparages a surpassing goodness, namely, the roles of Our Lady as Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces.

In this video we will break down what are we to think of the titles of Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all Graces, and we examine the results of the Doctrinal Note "Mater Populi Fidelis"

A mythic love story set in Trinidad, Ayanna Lloyd Banwo's radiant debut is a masterwork of lush imagination and exuberant storytelling—a spellbinding and hopeful novel about inheritance, loss, and love's seismic power to heal.In the old house on a hill, where the city meets the rainforest, Yejide's mother is dying. She is leaving behind a legacy that now passes to Yejide: one St Bernard woman in every generation has the power to shepherd the city's souls into the afterlife. But after years of suffering her mother's neglect and bitterness, Yejide is looking for a way out. Raised in the countryside by a devout Rastafarian mother, Darwin has always abided by the religious commandment not to interact with death. He has never been to a funeral, much less seen a dead body. But when the only job he can find is grave digging, he must betray the life his mother built for him in order to provide for them both. Newly shorn of his dreadlocks and his past, and determined to prove himself, Darwin finds himself adrift in a city electric with possibility and danger. Yejide and Darwin will meet inside the gates of Fidelis, an ancient and sprawling cemetery, where the dead lie uneasy in their graves and a reckoning with fate beckons them both.

In this episode we discuss the recent Vatican document published by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith regarding Mary (Mater Popoli Fidelis) and her title of "Co-redemptrix". How should evangelicals think through this and respond to it? We also discuss Leonardo's October Vatican File that concerns recent remarks Pope Leo made concerning Mary, and that are therefore relevant to this discussion.Support the show

For today's episode of the Sermon Audio Daily , I point you to a podcast episode dealing with the document released this week by the Vatican. Listen to the episode here: https://www.sermonaudio.com/se...

A new MP3 sermon from Alpha and Omega Ministries is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Mater Populi Fidelis: Today's Papal Pronouncement Subtitle: The Dividing Line 2025 Speaker: Dr. James White Broadcaster: Alpha and Omega Ministries Event: Podcast Date: 11/4/2025 Length: 61 min.

A whole lot of Roman Catholics around the world awoke today to deep disappointment. Not only did the new Papal document, Mater Papuli Fidelis, not define the 5th Marian dogma, it was, evidently, meant to be the stake in the heart of the movement to have that dogma defined. This was quite a shock to many, but in reality, this new document proves once again one fundamental reality: Rome operates on her own authority (sola ecclesia) and does not have access to anything that is truly "Apostolic tradition." We dive into the topic, and the documentation, today on the program, but will need to finish up on Thursday. This is a pretty important discussion of a central and current discussion relating to modern Roman Catholicism.

Every year for the past four years I have been lucky enough to be given time with Richard Brindle at the opening of the Monte Carlo Rendezvous and every year we have had the sort of conversation that helps set the tone for the rest of the gathering and indeed the rest for the calendar year and into the next. This year was no exception. As ever, Richard was forceful, unambiguous and direct on all topics, from the state of the market and the growth opportunities within it to what The Fidelis Partnership has learnt from its experience with the Russia-Ukraine Aviation War losses and the California wildfires. Richard was joined by John-Paul O'Hare, the Fidelis Partnership's Group Director of Underwriting. As the discussion took flight and encompassed subjects as diverse as the Application of Ai and algorithmic underwriting to the insurance work ethic, service levels and the return to the office, John-Paul held his own. As a result I can highly recommend this episode for an original and uncompromising view on the opportunities and threats facing the global specialty insurance and reinsurance markets in 2026 and beyond.

How is The Fidelis Partnership choosing to launch into new insurance classes as it rapidly expands? The Pine Walk MGA platform has grown significantly in recent years and now writes over $900mn of business. As The Fidelis Partnership continues to diversify its portfolio, deputy group CUO and CEO of insurance Richard Coulson told Behind the Headlines that the company is "agnostic" about whether it enters new classes via a Pine Walk MGA or through its central MGU. With its flexible capital structure—including Fidelis Insurance Group, third-party capacity deals, and its new Lloyd's Syndicate—Coulson explains that Fidelis has a range of options to link capital with underwriting talent. Plus, Insurance Insider's Rachel Dalton explains the significance of CRC Group's acquisition of Atrium.

Full Text of ReadingsThursday in the Octave of Easter Lectionary: 264The Saint of the day is Saint Fidelis of SigmaringenSaint Fidelis of Sigmaringen's Story If a poor man needed some clothing, Fidelis would often give the man the clothes right off his back. Complete generosity to others characterized this saint's life. Born in 1577, Mark Rey became a lawyer who constantly upheld the causes of the poor and oppressed people. Nicknamed “the poor man's lawyer,” Rey soon grew disgusted with the corruption and injustice he saw among his colleagues. He left his law career to become a priest, joining his brother George as a member of the Capuchin Order. Fidelis was his religious name. His wealth was divided between needy seminarians and the poor. As a follower of Saint Francis of Assisi, Fidelis continued his devotion to the weak and needy. During a severe epidemic in a city where he was guardian of a friary, Fidelis cared for and cured many sick soldiers. He was appointed head of a group of Capuchins sent to preach against the Calvinists and Zwinglians in Switzerland. Almost certain violence threatened. Those who observed the mission felt that success was more attributable to the prayer of Fidelis during the night than to his sermons and instructions. He was accused of opposing the peasants' national aspirations for independence from Austria. While he was preaching at Seewis, to which he had gone against the advice of his friends, a gun was fired at him, but he escaped unharmed. A Protestant offered to shelter Fidelis, but he declined, saying his life was in God's hands. On the road back, he was set upon by a group of armed men and killed. Fidelis was canonized in 1746. Fifteen years later he was recognized as a martyr. Reflection Fidelis' constant prayer was that he be kept completely faithful to God and not give in to any lukewarmness or apathy. He was often heard to exclaim, “Woe to me if I should prove myself but a halfhearted soldier in the service of my thorn-crowned Captain.” His prayer against apathy, and his concern for the poor and weak make him a saint whose example is valuable today. The modern Church is calling us to follow the example of “the poor man's lawyer” by sharing ourselves and our talents with those less fortunate and by working for justice in the world.

Thursday in the Octave of Easter Saint of the Day: St. Fidelis of Sigmaringen, 1577-1622; born in Germany; he was a practicing lawyer, traveling across Europe as a tutor to aristocrats but then started defending the poor; in 1612, he became a Franciscan Capuchin monk; his mission to Swtzerland was so successful that some Protestants believed him to be a spy for the Austrian emperor; he was stabbed to death in a church id Seewis Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 4/24/25 Gospel: Luke 24:35-48

O charitable and zealous soul who gave your life that others might know the true and abiding Catholic faith, you who cared for the sick and the dying, those who were ailing in body and diseased in spirit – how shall we learn to sacrifice all as you have done, to stand in the face of opposition and speak the truth though those we would help would devour us instead of listening to the words come from the Savior's mouth? Penance and prayer are so far from us this day, and who really cares to show others Christ's way? Pray this ship shall be strengthened by holy souls eager for the salvation of all and confirmed in the truth and love of the Spirit.

Episode 087: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Rick Simonetti, CEO and Head of Wealth Planning of Fidelis Capital Partners, to explore what it takes to serve ultra-high-net-worth families with excellence. Rick shares how Fidelis was built on the foundation of faithfulness—delivering on promises through deep collaboration, proactive planning, and personalized service. They discuss the importance of mentorship, family meetings, interdisciplinary teams, and how true success lies in preparing future generations. From structuring internal teams to navigating external partnerships, Rick offers practical wisdom for firms looking to elevate their service model and create lasting impact for their clients. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (02:54) - Rick's money moment (05:50) - CPA firms vs. wealth management: business model breakdown [10:45] - Building collaborative relationships with experts (16:35) - Why “faithfulness” became the foundation of Fidelis (19:40) - Succession by design: mentorship and developing next-gen advisors (26:55) - Crafting custom solutions for ultra-high-net-worth families (32:24) - The power of integration: inside Fidelis' team-based model (36:30) - How Fidelis earns trust and referrals from ultra-high-net-worth clients (42:32) - Rick's outlook on the future of serving ultra-high-net-worth clients  (46:29) - Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Financial plans don't fail because they were poorly designed—they fail because they weren't maintained, optimized, or passed on well. Advisors should prioritize family meetings and mentorship to ensure heirs are ready to step into leadership when the time comes. Wealth managers don't have to do it all in-house. In fact, creating strong, collaborative relationships with attorneys and CPAs leads to better outcomes for clients and smoother execution. The key is showing you're there to make everyone's job easier—not replace them. At Fidelis, planning and investment professionals sit in the same meetings with clients. This integrated approach allows for real-time problem-solving, clearer communication, and a seamless experience for families. It's a model built on visibility, not silos. Mentorship creates real succession—not disruption. Fidelis intentionally develops “next-up” advisors by embedding them in client relationships long before a transition is needed. It's a model that preserves institutional knowledge, builds trust, and gives clients peace of mind about who's carrying the torch next. Quotes "One of the foundational elements of our firm was that we wanted to be faithful to the promise of serving multiple generations." ~ Rick Simonetti “There's just no better endorsement, nothing more humbling and nothing for which we're more grateful than being able to serve families the way that we do, which results in them being thrilled to the point of saying, ‘Hey, I'm going to entrust someone I care deeply about to you.'” ~ Rick Simonetti "Nothing replaces sitting with clients and talking through issues, hosting family meetings, having all these questions come up and then figuring out how to explain them in a way that makes the complex simple or understandable." ~ Rick Simonetti Links  Rick Simonetti on LinkedIn Fidelis Capital Partners Wells Fargo Joe Diffley Merrill Lynch Christopher Gunster Neale Ellis Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Depois de viver uma vida dura, aos 42 a Madalena ainda tinha um sonho, se casar na igreja. Quando ela já estava conformada que nunca iria realizá-lo, Madalena conheceu o Fidelis, que transformou a sua vida. Apesar de uma cerimônia humilde, ela se casou e teve quatro filhos. A relação passou por dificuldades, como o vício do marido com álcool, só que juntos eles lutaram para superar tudo. Infelizmente, Fidelis faleceu e um grande vazio ficou no coração de Madalena, mas ela supera a dor com a força da família e a chegada de mais um neto. Hoje, Madalena sabe que a sua jornada é uma prova de que nunca é tarde para viver e realizar sonhos.

Ministerul Finanțelor lansează încă o emisiune de titluri de stat pentru populație. A devenit deja o obișnuință ca statul să se împrumute de la cetățeni. Dar, dobânzile atașate titlurilor de stat arată că guvernul nu crede în reducerea semnificativă a ratei inflației în acest an. Astăzi, 13 ianuarie a.c., Ministerul Finanțelor lansează o nouă emisiune de titluri de stat pentru populație, din seria Tezaur. Începând cu anul 2020, împrumuturile statului destinate populației au devenit o adevărată obișnuință, Tezaur și Fidelis, cu unele deosebiri, mergând „mână în mână” în toți acești ani.Sunt câteva controverse legate de emisiunile de titluri de stat pentru populație. Cea mai importantă observație a fost, la lansarea emisiunilor în urmă cu patru ani, că vor fi o concurență neloială pentru bănci. Erau toate motivele pentru a crede acest lucru.În primul rând, pentru că titlurile de stat, mai exact, câștigurile obținute din dobânzi ca urmare a acestei investiții erau și sunt scutite în continuare de impozit, ceea ce nu se întâmplă în cazul sumelor câștigate din dobânzi bancare.În al doilea rând, experții au avut temerea că o parte din banii populației aflați în depozite bancare se vor muta în titluri de stat. Cu siguranță, s-a întâmplat și acest fenomen, dar, în același timp, acum, după patru ani de emisiuni aproape continue de titluri de stat putem constata că „este loc pe piață pentru toată lumea”, în sensul că au crescut și economiile populației în bănci și titlurile de stat au suficientă căutare.Sunt două explicații pe care le putem găsi și anume, pe de o parte, instrumentele financiare ale statului au adus în piață „bani noi”, probabil, economii păstrate „la saltea”, iar, pe de altă parte, împrumuturile statului au atras investitori care sunt interesați de un risc apropiat de zero. Adică, exact ce le oferă titlurile de stat.În al treilea rând, concurența neloială a statului față de sistemul bancar s-a manifestat în dărnicia cu care Ministerul Finanțelor a oferit dobânzi mari celor interesați să cumpere titluri de stat. Cu toate aceste abordări diferite, titlurile de stat și depozitele bancare au intrat într-un fel de „conviețuire pașnică”.De altfel, un oficial al Ministerului Finanțelor declara că din anul 2020 (cel al lansării împrumuturilor) până la jumătatea anului 2024, titlurile de stat au atras 42 miliarde de lei de la populație, o sumă modestă dacă ar fi să o comparăm cu valoarea depozitelor bancare sau cu împrumuturile statului de la sectorul bancar, dar semnificativă pentru interesul cumpărătorilor în ceea ce privește instrumentele financiare ale statului.Tezaur și Fidelis sunt emisiuni de titluri de stat, în același timp, asemănătoare și diferite. Caracteristicile care le deosebesc sunt: Fidelis are emisiuni atât în lei, cât și în euro, Tezaur doar în lei; au o valoare nominală diferită, Tezaur – un leu, Fidelis – 100 de lei sau 100 de euro; în fine, titlurile Fidelis se pot tranzacționa la Bursa de Valori București, în timp ce bonurile Tezaur pot fi doar răscumpărate înainte de termenul scadent, în sensul că investitorul va primi suma inițială fără dobândă.Titlurile Tezaur vândute începând de astăzi, 13 ianuarie a.c., au un specific în ceea ce privește randamentul oferit cumpărătorilor. În sensul că Ministerul Finanțelor a crescut nivelul dobânzilor față de sfârșitul anului trecut, respectiv, 7% la un an, 7,5% la trei ani și 7,8% pe an pentru titlurile Tezaur pe cinci ani.Bineînțeles că dobânzile mai mari sunt mai atractive pentru cei care cumpără titlurile de stat, dar, „în oglindă”, interesul statului este să caute soluții pentru împrumuturi cât mai ieftine.Totodată, dobânzile mari atașate titlurilor de stat pentru populație ne arată că guvernul nu crede în scăderea inflației în următoarea perioadă. Prognoza BNR este că la sfârșitul acestui an rata inflației va ajunge la 3,5%, dar dobânda-cheie se află la nivelul de 6,5% și sunt șanse mici să scadă prea repede. În concluzie, guvernul nu crede că rata inflației va scădea semnificativ, dacă emite titluri de stat cu o dobândă dublă față de ținta de inflație a băncii centrale.

Zimbabwe born and South Africa educated, Warrick Beaver started his working life as an HR professional in the fashion retail industry. “If you're talking about journeys to insurance, fashion and retail is probably as far away as you can imagine. I was taught that you were a retailer first and an HR professional second”, says Warrick.“The lesson learned was, 'Understand where the value creation happens and be as close to it as possible. Understand your business.' That commercial curiosity has always stayed with me. It has stood me in good stead, kept me engaged and helped me find impact, meaning, and alignment throughout my career.”On this episode of the Insurance Coffee House Podcast, Warrick delves in to his career journey and what he's learned along his professional journey. Through retail and recruitment industry, FMCG manufacturing and information services, Warrick shares his experiences of M&A, business divestures and balancing his commercial and HR hats. He discusses his role of Chief People Officer and Fidelis Insurance Group's novel operating model. “The hypothesis was that businesses should lend themselves to their core competencies. If that core competency is underwriting, then it should focus on underwriting and ensuring a relentless pursuit of execution and excellence.Conversely, the core competence in terms of capital management, balance sheet management, capital allocation, reserving, would also be best served if there was the same level of excellent focus and time and attention. Decisions can then be made with the clearest of intention, and there's no potential contradiction or conflict in terms of what you do from a capital management or from an underwriting point of view, because the two businesses are managed separately. So that's the hypothesis. We are in a long-term relationship with The Fidelis Partnership. They are focusing on what they do best, and we are focusing on what we do best.”With its growing presence in London, Dublin and Bermuda, Warrick discusses the culture at the business and whether bifurcation is a true USP to attracting top insurance talent. “Culture is dynamic. It's ever changing. You can never put a pin in it and say, “We're done, victory is declared!” It is a constant evolution.We also see that in terms of our demographic, our employee base and what they're looking for from an employer and the working experience. We've been able to assemble, very capable, experienced professionals from within the insurance market who have worked for much larger, more established organizationThis model represents something novel, unique and an opportunity for them to become part of something interesting. Of course there is a lot of uncertainty with a scale operation, but we have a deep heritage. We have some fantastic experience. We're a building brand, and it's enough to attract people who are well regarded.”Warrick emphasises what he looks for in insurance leaders coming for interview. “It's just as much a conversation on how that technical capability, experiences and skills are translated into value added. Don't spend your time talking about your accomplishments. We're going to take those as read.”As closing advice, Warrick says, “Understand your business. Be as close to the value-add inflection point as possible because you will feel relevant, get immediate feedback, and will be constantly evolving with the needs of the organization.”Connect with Warrick Beaver on LinkedIn or find out more about Fidelis Insurance Group The Insurance Coffee House Podcast is brought to...

Ceașcometrul. Ciucă, Ciolacu și Simion, față-n față cu viitura: cât de bine au reușit să-l imite, în timpul inundațiilor, pe Nicolae Ceaușescu (PressOne) - Decrețeii se apropie de 60 de ani și vine un val de sărăcie fără precedent. „Părinții oferă copiilor bani, ca să-și cumpere o casă sau o mașină, iar seniorul rămâne descoperit financiar”, avertizează un important economist (HotNews) - Populația a ajuns să asigure 10% din necesarul tot mai mare de finanțare al statului (CursDeGuvernare) Nu-și iau înapoi bezelele (SpotMedia)Mascarada confruntării PSD-PNL nu include și împărțirea sinecurilor. Felul în care se înțeleg perfect pe tranșarea hălcilor, felul în care își susțin unii altora clienții și impostorii este o dovadă cât se poate de grăitoare despre adevărata natură a relației dintre cele două partide.Ca un recent exemplu, Roberta Anastase nu ajungea în CA al BNR, pentru care nu are o minimă calificare, fără suportul PSD.Nici n-a crâcnit Marcel Ciolacu să semneze pentru îndestularea la rectificare a bugetului președintelui cu 7 milioane de lei, fără a avea măcar pretenția transparenței și după toate scandalurile privind cheltuielile faraonice ale lui Klaus Iohannis.În chestiunile cu adevărat importante pentru ei, PSD și PNL colaborează fără fisură, în vreme ce fiecare își interpretează partitura electorală cea mai avantajoasă.nimic nu i-ar plăcea mai mult lui Marcel Ciolacu decât să meargă cu acest tandem și dincolo de 2024.Dar pentru asta, desigur, Nicolae Ciucă trebuie să ajungă în turul al doilea. Iar ca să ajungă, electoratul liberal trebuie mobilizat cu speranță că PSD va fi trimis în Opoziție.Deci mobilizarea electoratului PNL pentru o guvernare antiPSD va ridica și mobilizarea electoratului PSD, ca nu cumva să pățească iar un pocinog.În același timp, Marcel Ciolacu are mare grijă ca PSD să nu repete o eroare clasică - enervarea electoratului ostil. Așa au pierdut mereu în turul al doilea.Cu cât este mai atacat, cu atât Marcel Ciolacu pare mai calm și pacifist. Deci atacurile PNL îi fac bine, notează jurnalista SpotMedia. Ceașcometrul. Ciucă, Ciolacu și Simion, față-n față cu viitura: cât de bine au reușit să-l imite, în timpul inundațiilor, pe Nicolae Ceaușescu (PressOne)„Întotdeauna în mijlocul poporului, la bine şi la greu, secretarul general al Partidului Comunist Român şi preşedintele Republicii Socialiste România, tovarăşul Nicolae Ceauşescu s-a aflat şi în aceste zile (...) alături de cetăţeni, controlînd situaţia, hotărînd acţiunile necesare de întreprins şi dînd îndrumări pentru finalizarea lor rapidă în vederea limitării efectelor calamităţilor şi înlăturării hotărite a consecinţelor acestora”, începea un articol România Liberă publicat pe 5 iulie 1975. Au trecut aproape 50 de ani de atunci, însă titlul, tonul scriiturii, pozele care însoțesc textul și evenimentele descrise pot părea familiare. În septembrie 2024, la fel ca-n iulie 1975, mai multe județe ale României au fost lovite de inundații care au omorât și lăsat oameni pe drumuri. Inundațiile care au afectat România în această toamnă au scos la iveală 3 mici „ceaușești”: Nicolae Ciucă, Marcel Ciolacu și George Simion.Toți 3 s-au pozat luna trecută înconjurați de sinistrați din județul Galați, în cizme de cauciuc, acoperiți de pelerine de ploaie și cu expresii faciale care musteau de empatie. Și toți 3 au beneficiat de sprijinul unor publicații/televiziuni care le-au preluat și diseminat mesajele. PressOne a evaluat abilitățile lui Simion, Ciucă și Ciolacu de a-l emula pe fostul dictator cu ajutorul unui instrument inventat de redacție: Ceașcometrul.George Simion primește calificativul 6 cești din 10 pe scara Ceașcometrului.Marcel Ciolacu primește din partea PressOne 4  din 10. Ciucă primește doar 3 din 10.Ceilalți prezidențiabili relevanți, Mircea Geoană și Elena Lasconi, n-au fost măsurați cu Ceașcometrul pentru că implicarea lor în drama sinistraților a fost minimă. Decrețeii se apropie de 60 de ani și vine un val de sărăcie fără precedent. „Părinții oferă copiilor bani, ca să-și cumpere o casă sau o mașină, iar seniorul rămâne descoperit financiar”, avertizează un important economist (HotNews)50% dintre români nu au nicio economie pentru bătrânețe, avertizează economistul Radu Crăciun, într-un dialog pentru cititorii HotNews. Asta se petrece și pe fondul unei relații greșite între generații, aproape singulare în restul Europei.În România, rata sărăciei relative, care măsoară ponderea persoanelor sărace în totalul populației, pentru grupa de vârstă de 65+ ani a urcat în ultimii 10 ani de la 14,4% la 19,5%, potrivit datelor INS. „Asociația pentru Pensiile Administrate Privat (APAPR) a făcut un sondaj din care a reieșit că 50% dintre români n-au nicio economie pentru bătrânețe, ceea ce e trist. Există mentalitatea asta păguboasă de genul că „lasă că oricum nu mai prind pensia”. Ceea ce e fals. Sau mai e tipul de gândire: „lasă că mai am timp până la pensie, o să văd mai târziu ce fac”. Numai că se trezesc prea târziu”, explică Radu Crăciun. Crăciun este membru fondator al Asociației Analiștilor Financiar Bancari, președinte al Asociației pentru Pensiile Administrate Privat și conduce BCR pensii. Populația a ajuns să asigure 10% din necesarul tot mai mare de finanțare al statului. MF a lansat o nouă emisiune FIDELIS (CursDeGuvernare)Ministerul Finanțelor (MF) a lansat miercuri a cincea emisiune FIDELIS de titluri de stat pentru populație din acest an. Acestea au devenit o importantă sursă de finanțare a deficitului bugetar și de rostogolire a datoriei publice.Ponderea titlurilor de stat pentru populație a urcat la peste 10% din totalul împrumuturilor contractate de stat în anii 2022 și 2023. Procentul este de trei ori mai mare decât cel de dinainte de pandemie, în contextul în care și necesarul de finanțare s-a dublat în ultimii cinci ani.Dacă înainte de pandemie, Finanțele împrumutau sub 100 de miliarde de lei pe an, valoarea a sărit la 170 de miliarde în 2020 și peste 200 de miliarde anul trecut, arată CursDeGuvernare.

Todays' Episode is a fast-moving, high-intensity blast from start to finish. That's mostly because of the people I'm talking to, but also due to the circumstances under which we are doing the talking. First the people. Richard Brindle is well known to anyone in our business as one of the most dynamic underwriters in the market. And anyone following the Fidelis story will know that now the business has split into the Fidelis Partnership and the Fidelis Insurance Group, Richard has freed up time to be even more dynamic. It's perhaps understandable that Richard Coulson, The Fidelis Partnership's CEO of Insurance & Deputy Group Chief Underwriting Officer, doesn't yet have the same public profile as his namesake, but on this performance it won't take long for that to start building. Secondly the venue was Monaco at the Monte Carlo RendezVous. The RendezVous always heightens the intensity of any interaction. People come there ready to communicate against the clock and that cut-to-the-chase feel very much comes through in this encounter. As a result this podcast covers everything it should – the state of global markets and where Fidelis is positioning itself to make the most of the opportunities those markets are throwing up, the Fidelis Partnership's entrance to Lloyd's and the two Richard's views on all the major issues of the day. Listening back this is a really enjoyable Episode, packed with singular, original and sometimes surprising insights. NOTES The Fidelis Partnership wanted to add the following points to our discussion about Intellectual Property (IP) insurance: Like others Fidelis exited the IP market earlier this year; Arguably IP is a great example of the bravery of innovation with measured downside and then pulling back quickly as soon as the warning alarms sounded; As a relatively small and well-managed book, there was very little impact on their overall exceptional long-term bespoke underwriting performance.  LINKS: We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo: https://www.advantagego.com We also thank audio advertiser, The Insurance Network (TIN), organiser of the highly-successful TINtech events series.

This week, we're excited to bring you an insightful conversation with Terence Kwan, Co-Founder of Fidelis Advisors and a risk management expert who believes that risk is not just about numbers—it's about people. Fun fact! Outside the office, Terence's passions include singing, playing piano, golfing, tennis, skiing, and even running his own coffee roasting business!

Today's guest is a leader in one of the most innovative and interesting businesses in the market. He was last on the show as part of a duo but is now here in his own right. This should all make much more sense when I tell you that I am talking about Dan Burrows, the Group CEO of Fidelis Insurance Group. Since we last met Fidelis has successfully split into the balance sheet insurer that Dan runs and the MGA the Fidelis Partnership led by Richard Brindle, in a move to a hybrid structure that is the first of its kind. Fidelis Insurance Group has also floated as a public company, completed a secondary capital raise and is to back the launch of a Fidelis Partnership syndicate at Lloyd's. Many of the above events are once-in-a-lifetime occurrences for most executives, but Dan moves quickly and the person I spoke to for this interview gave the impression of already being settled into his new roles and doubtless exploring his business's next moves. A listen back to this podcast has confirmed that time spent with Dan is enormously productive. We cover a huge amount of ground, from the state of the market all the way through to the best application of Artificial Intelligence in the insurance value chain. But I think one of the most valuable aspects of this encounter is that we get to hear Dan speaking clearly for himself and the interests of his shareholders. He does so incredibly frankly and candidly. His views are never ambiguous. So if you would like to spend some very productive time with a key player in one of the most successful underwriting organisations of its generation, please listen on.

What is the SSPX?The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood.Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls.Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it.https://sspx.org

Father Hudgins' homily: St Fidelis and Remembrance of God

Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of the Fourth Week of Easter Lectionary: 281The Saint of the day is Saint Fidelis of SigmaringenSaint Fidelis of Sigmaringen's Story If a poor man needed some clothing, Fidelis would often give the man the clothes right off his back. Complete generosity to others characterized this saint's life. Born in 1577, Mark Rey became a lawyer who constantly upheld the causes of the poor and oppressed people. Nicknamed “the poor man's lawyer,” Rey soon grew disgusted with the corruption and injustice he saw among his colleagues. He left his law career to become a priest, joining his brother George as a member of the Capuchin Order. Fidelis was his religious name. His wealth was divided between needy seminarians and the poor. As a follower of Saint Francis of Assisi, Fidelis continued his devotion to the weak and needy. During a severe epidemic in a city where he was guardian of a friary, Fidelis cared for and cured many sick soldiers. He was appointed head of a group of Capuchins sent to preach against the Calvinists and Zwinglians in Switzerland. Almost certain violence threatened. Those who observed the mission felt that success was more attributable to the prayer of Fidelis during the night than to his sermons and instructions. He was accused of opposing the peasants' national aspirations for independence from Austria. While he was preaching at Seewis, to which he had gone against the advice of his friends, a gun was fired at him, but he escaped unharmed. A Protestant offered to shelter Fidelis, but he declined, saying his life was in God's hands. On the road back, he was set upon by a group of armed men and killed. Fidelis was canonized in 1746. Fifteen years later he was recognized as a martyr. Reflection Fidelis' constant prayer was that he be kept completely faithful to God and not give in to any lukewarmness or apathy. He was often heard to exclaim, “Woe to me if I should prove myself but a halfhearted soldier in the service of my thorn-crowned Captain.” His prayer against apathy, and his concern for the poor and weak make him a saint whose example is valuable today. The modern Church is calling us to follow the example of “the poor man's lawyer” by sharing ourselves and our talents with those less fortunate and by working for justice in the world.

I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.Ego sum vitis vera, et Pater meus agricola est.  2 Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit.Omnem palmitem in me non ferentem fructum, tollet eum, et omnem qui fert fructum, purgabit eum, ut fructum plus afferat.  3 Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.Jam vos mundi estis propter sermonem quem locutus sum vobis.  4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.Manete in me, et ego in vobis. Sicut palmes non potest fere fructum a semetipso, nisi manserit in vite, sic nec vos, nisi in me manseritis.  5 I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.Ego sum vitis, vos palmites : qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, quia sine me nihil potestis facere.  6 If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth.Si quis in me non manserit, mittetur foras sicut palmes, et arescet, et colligent eum, et in ignem mittent, et ardet.  7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.Si manseritis in me, et verba mea in vobis manserint, quodcumque volueritis petetis, et fiet vobis. St Fidelis was at first the "Advocate of the poor", He then entered the Order of the Friar Minors, preached the Word of God, and was stabbed to death by Protestant soldiers A.D. 1622.
