From Vatican.va, an excerpt from the teachings ofPope Benedict XVI General Audience 2008 To understand Isidore better it is first of all necessary to recall the complexity of the political situations in his time to which I have already referred: during the years of his boyhood he was obliged to experience the bitterness of exile. He was nevertheless pervaded with apostolic enthusiasm. He experienced the rapture of contributing to the formation of a people that was at last rediscovering its unity, both political and religious, with the providential conversion of Hermenegild, the heir to the Visigoth throne, from Arianism to the Catholic faith. Yet we must not underestimate the enormous difficulty of coming to grips with such very serious problems as were the relations with heretics and with the Jews. There was a whole series of problems which appear very concrete to us today too, especially if we consider what is happening in certain regions in which we seem almost to be witnessing the recurrence of situations very similar to those that existed on the Iberian Peninsular in that sixth century. The wealth of cultural knowledge that Isidore had assimilated enabled him to constantly compare the Christian newness with the Greco-Roman cultural heritage, however, rather than the precious gift of synthesis it would seem that he possessed the gift of collatio, that is, of collecting, which he expressed in an extraordinary personal erudition, although it was not always ordered as might have been desired.

In this Episode we take you travelling to the oldest continuously inhabited city on the Iberian Peninsular. Cadiz is a small city in Andalusia in southern Spain on a peninsular surrounded on 3 sides by the sea and it could just be the perfect destination for you. We spent a lot of time exploring Cadiz– including the beaches, castles, cathedrals, crypts, history, architecture, food, parks, promenades – did I say food? The only thing it doesn't have is many tourists. We take you walking all around the stunning promenade which stretches along the beach where we discover plazas, statues, waters features, waterfalls and, believe it or not, dinosaurs. We tell you about the fascinating history of the port city which was invaded many times and it is where Christopher Columbus set sail on two of his exploration voyages. Listen along as we explore the Cadiz Cathedral. We go up one of the two 130ft towers and and down into the domed crypt with 5 alcoves. You will also learn how and why there are 133 watch towers all around the old town. We finally discover the central markets with fresh produce, including a seafood market and the best place to eat while you are in Cadiz. Finally, listen as we tell you all you need to know about visiting and enjoying Cadiz and surrounding areas and stick around to the end to hear which sexy star emerged from the beach in a famous scene from a James Bond movie.

The weather is still hot and the Iberian Peninsular is very dry. Dreadful fires rage in Portugal and Galicia and the police seem to be hinting that these fires are the work of arsonists. The politicians are still trying to form a government in Spain and there is a slight chance that Señor Rajoy might have the support he needs to form a government via the Ciudadanos party. . There are conditions as you'd expect but maybe we'll get a government soon. statistics show a quarter of Spain's unemployed have not worked for for four or more years. We hear Europeans want to punish Britain after Brexit but I suppose it's all about who you ask and how you ask the questions. According to latest figures the housing market is recovering and there's a story in the Spanish press showing how Spanish graduates head to France to pick grapes. A five year old boy has been killed by fireworks at a fiesta and it seems it was due to a stupid moment of irresponsibility when a person threw a firework into the crowds. Team GB dominate the news with successes building from day 4. Quite rightly there are many uplifting accounts of underdogs winning medals in gymnastics, judo, in canoes, on bikes and in shooting. There seems to be a really good spread of success and GB might well soon catch the Republic of Korea who are currently ahead of them. Just wait for the athletics as the Games proceed. Gloomier news is everywhere as five year old children are accused of 'sex offences' at school and teachers are bumping up the A-level predicted grades of University students. This is to follow the Holy Grail of equality and the meritocracy will look far less Caucasian! Labour is still in disarray as their voting procedures end up in the high courts and even UKIP are seeking a new leader. The unions also seem very active again and I hinted yesterday that I suspect this could be the work of Jeremy Corbyn and his cronies. The police are coming in for some heavy criticism and there are stories showing the Chief Constables seem to be operating their own rules in some instances. Another worrying story is about a scheme to fake airport passes at Heathrow. Cameron's legacy is stacked with croneyism and it is obvious to see he has rewarded mediocrity and failure to reward his pals. Another slightly unsavoury story shows that stars are paid thousands for their charity work. Some even compete in quizzes purporting to gain money for the charity. They might not win the money but still get their fees! A Premier League ticket tout is jailed for 9 months for his 4 million scam. This will really send a shudder down the spines of others willing to rob the general public. Nine months in jail might become 4.5 months for good behaviour and who might be tempted to risk that daunting punishment for a 4 million payout?

Since we have been involved with BluePower, we have been sent the Blues from some strange places. The country of origin for tonight's music is certainly not a place known for the Blues. Until now, that is. The music and artists for tonight's show come from the relatively little known country of Catalonia. To be quite honest, I have been to Barcelona, Spain before and never knew it was the capitol of Catalonia. I always thought Barcelona was part of Spain. Well....that's a long story and one you should possibly dig into a bit. Catalonia's history is worth studying.Catalonia is a Mediterranean country located on the northwestern triangle of the Iberian Peninsular. Historically, it's location has turned it into a land of peace, where various peoples and cultures have come together.The CD we're presenting tonight is titled Blues Cat and features artists who all hail from Catalonia, Spain.The CD was sent to us from our friend, Vicente Zumel of Barcelona. Vicente has been producing and hosting a Blues radio show in Barcelona for 25 years called La Hora Del Blues. The man has a remarkable set of archives and does a wonderfully impromptu show. Please give a listen when you have time.BluePower sends it's congratulations to all the talented artists of Catalan and apologizes for the fact that we could not get to all the great players on Blues Cat this time around. We hope you'll forgive us.Thanks for tuning in.John Rhys/BluePower.com Tonight's artists are:1)....Theme...."Koz's Walk"....Koz Kosinski2)...."Woatinee"....Amadeu Casas 3)...."Blues Through My Veins"....Alex A. & TNT 4)...."Sugar Sweet"....Joan Pau Cumellas-Miguel Talavera 5)...."Drowning In The Blues"....Loti Lewis 6)...."Waiting At The Train Station"....Joan Vinyals-Cece Giannotti 7)...."Trist Gris"....Errol Woiski 8)...."Cara De Foc"....Big Mama & Joan Pau Cumellas 9)...."Cansat"....Blues De Picolat 10)..."Jungle's Groove"....Lluis ColomaClick here to play....BluePower Presents....The Blues From Catalonia!Click here to go to....La Hora Del Blues!
