For fifty years, we've been told that nature is fragile — a porcelain Eden, easily shattered by the slightest human pressure. But history tells a different story. From the fall of Rome to the Black Death, from Chernobyl to Detroit, every time people retreat, the wilderness rushes back with astonishing speed. In this episode, we examine the reality that civilization is fragile while life on Earth is ferociously tenacious. Drawing on historians like Bryan Ward-Perkins and William Cronon, and ecologists like C.S. Holling, we discover how fast forests and animals can reclaim human spaces, and why the modern myth of a delicate planet misses the deeper truth. Nature is not fragile. Civilization is.

In a tour de force solo performance, Natalie takes on Virgil's great poem in 28 minutes.. and wins.In 12 books of Latin verse we follow the hero, the Trojan Prince Aeneas, as he leads the survivors of Troy to found a new city in Italy. Along the way he battles vengeful Juno, tells of the Trojan Horse and the Fall of Troy, loves and leaves Dido in Carthage, enters Hades, eats some tables and then sees his ships turn into sea nymphs and swim away from attack. Then there is more fighting until our hero emerges triumphant.The poet Virgil died before finishing it and ordered it to be burned, but luckily his orders were disregarded by Augustus, the first Emperor of Rome, for whom The Aeneid was excellent propaganda. 'Rockstar mythologist' Natalie Haynes is the best-selling author of 'Divine Might', 'Stone Blind', and 'A Thousand Ships' as well as a reformed comedian who is a little bit obsessive about Ancient Greek and Rome.Producer...Beth O'Dea

The Catholic Herald Podcast: Merely Catholic with Gavin Ashenden
Now on her third pope, Diane Montagna is one of the most respected Vaticanologists of our time. Known for her contributions to periodicals such as the National Catholic Register and Humanitas: Christian Anthropological Review, as well as the Catholic Herald, she has also worked as Rome correspondent for LifeSiteNews and the English edition of Aleteia. In this episode of Merely Catholic, she discusses her varied career and the challenges facing the new pontificate. She also gives an in-depth account of her groundbreaking research, which suggested a false narrative behind the motivations of Traditionis custodes.
Accusée de pratiquer un dumping fiscal pour attirer les grandes fortunes, l'Italie séduit chaque année davantage de millionnaires européens. Une stratégie assumée par Rome, mais qui alimente les tensions au sein de l'Union européenne. L'Italie propose depuis plusieurs années un dispositif très avantageux qui séduit massivement : les nouveaux résidents peuvent s'acquitter d'un impôt forfaitaire annuel de 200 000 euros sur leurs revenus étrangers, et ce pendant quinze ans, sans taxation des héritages ni donations sur cette période. Selon le cabinet Henley and Partners, 3600 nouveaux millionnaires devraient s'y installer en 2024, faisant de l'Italie la troisième destination mondiale des grandes fortunes, derrière les Émirats arabes unis et les États-Unis. Milan, le nouveau Londres des années 1990 La capitale économique italienne coche toutes les cases : excellente connectivité aérienne, dynamisme culturel et financier, marché immobilier haut de gamme. Plusieurs personnalités y ont déjà élu domicile, comme Frédéric Arnault (le fils du patron de LVMH), le vice-président de Goldman Sachs ou le propriétaire du club anglais d'Aston Villa. La suppression au Royaume-Uni du statut fiscal protecteur pour les non-domiciliés a accéléré cette migration. Milan attire désormais banquiers, chefs d'entreprise et investisseurs, rappelant l'effervescence londonienne des années 1990. Une stratégie assumée, mais risquée Pour Rome, mieux vaut percevoir un impôt réduit que rien du tout. Mais cette politique a des effets secondaires, comme la flambée des prix immobiliers à Milan et la dépendance accrue aux capitaux volatils des ultra-riches. Côté français, François Bayrou s'inquiète. Ces départs potentiels de contribuables aisés signifient autant d'investissements et d'impôts en moins pour l'Hexagone. Plus largement, cette « dolce vita fiscale » risque d'alimenter une compétition entre États européens, chacun cherchant à retenir ses talents et ses fortunes.

When Tiffany's husband Claudio takes a photo with the karate instructor of his youth, Tiffany realizes that by being an expat, it can sometimes feel like her life has no continuity. She can't revisit old teachers and places. She never unexpectedly stumbles upon people and objects from her childhood, and maintaining relationships longterm takes extra effort. Is this just one of the side effects of moving abroad indefinitely? How important is a sense of continuity when it comes to life? Hosts Katy Sewall and Tiffany Parks explore the idea on this episode from our archives. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

Pendant des siècles, rien n'a autant semé la panique en Europe que l'arrivée des Huns. Ces cavaliers venus des steppes d'Asie centrale ont marqué les esprits par leur brutalité, leur rapidité… et leur mystère. Mais qu'est-ce qui rendait les Huns si redoutés au point de devenir un symbole de terreur dans l'imaginaire collectif européen ?Apparus en Europe vers la fin du IVe siècle, les Huns franchissent le fleuve Volga aux alentours de l'an 370. En quelques années, leur avancée provoque un effet domino : des peuples germaniques fuient devant eux et se réfugient à l'intérieur des frontières de l'Empire romain. Ce mouvement massif de populations déstabilise tout l'équilibre politique de l'époque et contribue au début de la chute de l'Empire romain d'Occident.Mais ce qui rendait les Huns vraiment terrifiants, c'était leur manière de combattre. Ce peuple de nomades des steppes maîtrisait l'art de la guerre à cheval comme aucun autre. Le Hun était littéralement élevé sur une selle, capable de tirer à l'arc en galopant à pleine vitesse, avec une précision redoutable. Leur armement — arcs composites, sabres recourbés, masses — était léger mais efficace, parfaitement adapté à des raids éclairs. Ils apparaissaient sans prévenir, pillaient, tuaient, et disparaissaient dans la steppe avant qu'une armée ennemie ait pu réagir.Les chroniqueurs de l'époque — souvent romains ou chrétiens — ont largement noirci leur image. Ils les décrivent comme des barbares inhumains, sales, cruels, défigurés dès l'enfance pour paraître plus effrayants. Bien sûr, ces portraits sont biaisés, mais ils témoignent de l'effet psychologique provoqué par les Huns : ils étaient l'ennemi inconnu, insaisissable, presque surnaturel.Leur chef le plus célèbre, Attila, surnommé le « fléau de Dieu », incarna cette peur à son paroxysme. Sous son commandement, les Huns mettent Rome à genoux sans même avoir besoin de la prendre. Entre 440 et 453, Attila fait trembler l'Empire romain d'Orient et d'Occident, exigeant tribut, pillant villes après villes, et imposant sa loi jusqu'aux portes de Paris.Mais après la mort d'Attila en 453, l'empire hunnique s'effondre rapidement. Leur puissance reposait en grande partie sur le charisme de leur chef et leur cohésion militaire. Une fois celui-ci disparu, les peuples qu'ils dominaient se soulèvent.Les Huns ont disparu de la carte, mais pas de la mémoire. Leur nom reste synonyme de brutalité et de chaos, symbole des forces extérieures capables de faire vaciller un monde pourtant jugé invincible. Voilà pourquoi, des siècles plus tard, le simple mot "Hun" suffit encore à faire frissonner l'Europe. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
In Intergroup Conflict, Recategorization, and Identity Construction in Acts: Breaking the Cycle of Slander, Labeling and Violence (Bloomsbury, 2023) Hyun Ho Park employs social identity to create the first thorough analysis via such methodology of Acts 21:17-23:35, which contains one of the fiercest intergroup conflicts in Acts. Park's assessment allows his readers to rethink, reevaluate, and reimagine Jewish-Christian relations; teaches them how to respond to the vicious cycle of slander, labeling, and violence permeating contemporary public and private spheres; and presents a new hermeneutical cycle and describes how readers may apply it to their own sociopolitical contexts.After surveying previous studies of the text, Park first analyses Paul's welcome, questioning, and arrest, and how slandering and labeling make Paul an outsider. Park then describes how, through defending his Jewish identity and the Way, Paul nuances his public image and re-categorizes himself and the Way as part of the people of God. When Paul identifies himself as a Roman and later a Pharisee, Park examines Luke's ambivalent attitude toward Rome and the Pharisees, and assesses how Paul escapes dangerous situations by claiming different social identities at different times.Finally, he discloses the vicious cycle of slander, labeling, and violence not only against the Way but also against the Jews and challenges the discursive process of identity construction through intergroup conflict with an out-group, especially the proximate “Other.” Furthermore, he demonstrates how the relevance of such scholarship is not limited to Lukan studies or even biblical studies in general; the frequent use of slander, labeling, and violence in the politics of the United States and other polarized countries around the globe demands new ways of looking at intergroup relations, and Park's argument meets the needs of those seeking a new perspective on contemporary political discord. Hyun Ho Park is Associate Pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Yuba City, California and Editor-in-Chief of the Asian American Theological Forum. Jonathon Lookadoo is Associate Professor at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, South Korea. While his interests range widely over the world of early Christianity, he is the author of books on the Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius of Antioch, and the Shepherd of Hermas, including The Christology of Ignatius of Antioch (Cascade, 2023).

Rome's most infamous emperor wasn't just a tyrant—he was a spectacle of madness, cruelty, and decadence.

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine. A study in Romans will show us the New Testament doctrines of salvation, redemption, sanctification, justification, predestination, adoption, regeneration, and glorification. Remember the Ethiopian eunuch from our study in the Book of Acts? He got saved with salvation by grace through faith by reading in the book of Isaiah. Another salient point to keep in mind that Paul is the apostle to the Romans, and not Peter as the Roman Catholic church falsely claims he is. There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome.TONIGHT'S STUDY: Chapter 6 in the book of Romans is all about the sanctification of the believer as they now seek to navigate this new Christian life they have been born again into. Paul is very clear about the necessity of battling sin on a daily basis, this is the ‘good fight' of the believer, one that never ends until the day we meet the Lord Jesus Christ face to face. Strong meat for sure.

Italy has rejected claims by French Prime Minister François Bayrou that Rome is pursuing a policy of "fiscal dumping" to attract foreign business and investment. The spat comes as Bayrou faces a likely collapse of his government over an unpopular budget plan, in which he aims to cut 44 billion euros in public spending. Plus, Labubus, and their knock-off cousins Lafufus, are taking Europe by storm.
Big Idea of the Series: In this eight-week series on the book of Philippians, we will examine the source of Paul's defiant joy while he lived under house arrest in Rome. The apostle Paul was a light to the Philippians, radiating joy to a church disheartened by their mentor's imprisonment. Like Paul's letter to the church in Philippi, this series is designed to encourage the church to find joy in the midst of suffering, bringing hope to the hurting.Key Truth: A Christ follower's joy defies their situationKey Verse: Philippians 1:3–5Summary: Paul's joy defied his situation. Christians are called to turn their bad experiences into inspirational testimonies—living to comfort others with the same comfort that we have received from God.Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/legacychurchtx/Join us in person:https://legacychurchhutto.comMusic used with permission:Dreamers by Mixaund | https://mixaund.bandcamp.com

This Sunday Matthews from Kenya on our "Celebrating the Nations" Sunday closes out our Destinations series looking at Paul's trip to Rome in Acts 27 and the shipwreck
Allora ouvre sa saison 3 avec une grande bouffée d'air sur les chemins italiens. Oggi, direction la via Francigena : cette voie millénaire que l'on surnomme le « Saint-Jacques de Compostelle italien ». Long de 3 200 km depuis Canterbury jusqu'à Rome, il traverse quatre pays ainsi que les paysages intimes de ceux qui l'arpentent. En Italie, il déploie sa magie jusqu'à la Ville éternelle. Quête sportive, marche méditative ou aventure spirituelle : chacun y trouve son rythme, son souffle, son sens.C'est aux côtés de Jonathan Langlois, créateur du média et podcast « Les Lueurs », qu'Allora ouvre la marche, les sens en éveil. À 26 ans, après un burn-out qui l'a privé de sa voix pendant un an et demi, il a choisi de partir à pied. De Milan jusqu'à Rome, il a appris à se reconstruire pas à pas, à transformer l'épreuve en cheminement, à laisser l'Italie lui souffler un nouvel élan. Ses pas sont devenus une thérapie, ses silences une force.Aujourd'hui, c'est justement sa voix qui nous éclaire. Celle qui l'avait quitté s'est muée en un outil de transmission et d'inspiration. Avec « Les Lueurs », chaque semaine, il tend son micro à des personnalités, experts ou anonymes, pour partager des histoires intimes et universelles. Des paroles qui résonnent, qui guident, qui allument de petites flammes en nous.

In the first century, Rome underwent a major political transition when the Emperor Nero died after being declared an enemy of Rome by the senate. With his death, the Julio-Claudian dynasty came to an end, ushering in a period known as the Year of the Four Emperors. For the common people, many of them simply didn't believe that Nero was dead. In fact, many thought that he would one day return. Learn more about the Nero redivivus phenomenon, Pseudo-Neros, and how the death of Nero was felt for centuries on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What links the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and St Peter's in Rome with the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, and Canaanland in Ota, Nigeria? These are just some of the churches that Anglican priest and writer the Revd Fergus Butler-Gallie highlights in his new book Twelve Churches: An Unlikely History of the Buildings that made Christianity. The Anglican priest and writer joins Damian Thompson on Holy Smoke to explain how each Church not only tells a story but also raises a surprising dilemma for modern believers.Fergus aims to tell the history of the Churches 'warts and all' and argues that, from Turkey to Britain, today's Christians must be prepared to defend their religious spaces. Also, why is the Church of England one of the worst offenders when it comes to preserving its heritage? Produced by Patrick Gibbons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Court appearances, prison stays, riots, speeches full of biographical details, and lots of waiting. The end of the book of Acts can be hard to follow, but when we understand the big picture it all falls into place. The key to understanding the end of Acts is something God impresses into Paul's heart in Acts 19. Paul is going to take an up and down pathway to the great city of Rome, which is all part of his divine appointment. In this message we're going to talk about what the book of Acts teaches us about the idea of divine appointments, missions or ministries given to us by God for the purpose of, as Jesus says in Acts 1:8, being his witnesses to the ends of the earth. Pastor Joel talks through how difficulty doesn't derail our divine appointments, and shares another story in the book of Acts of a divine appointment that might look more like many of ours than Paul's.

The Journey of a Pilgrim – Paul's Journey to Rome by Apostle Grace Lubega
Hi Beautiful - in this episode I take you with me into a magnificent voyage to Paris, Rome and Greece - a trip which I now consider one of the greatest of my life. I share the ways I structured and organized it to allow it all to be possible, the moments of saying 'yes' to things that felt like an edge for me, and how and why I make those life-giving 'yes' decisions, as well as how I relearned to - and how other women who have learned to do it all themselves can do the same - let myself be cared for and loved. On y va ;)
ANCIENT CITIES AND THE GODS WHO BUILT THEM takes readers on a thought-provoking journey through the mysteries of Scripture and history—exploring the Nephilim, the Tower of Babel, Atlantis, and the parallels between biblical accounts and ancient mythology. From giants mentioned in the Bible to the influence of Greek gods and the rise of Rome, this book uncovers the hidden stories that reveal how the days of Noah still echo today and why they matter for understanding God's plan. Bold and uncompromising, it invites you to look deeper into the questions many avoid, offering fresh insight into faith, history, and the return of Christ.
The Daily Philip is a devotion of prayer to the Patron Saint of Joy, St. Philip Neri, led by Fr. Malone, parochial vicar of Christ the Redeemer Parish in Swift Current. This devotion has four parts: (1) a daily prayer for a particular virtue, based on the day of the week, to which Pope Pius IX has attached an indulgence (dated May 17, 1852,); (2) a reading from The Life of St. Philip Neri, Apostle of Rome; (3) a quote from The Maxims and Counsels of St. Philip Neri; and (4) the daily prayer for a good death. For Sunday Prayer to obtain the virtue of Humility. St, Philip, my glorious Patron, who on earth didst so love humility as to count the praise and even the good esteem of men as dross; obtain for me also this virtue by thy prayers. Thou knowest how haughty I am in my thoughts, how contemptuous in my words, how ambitious in my doings. Ask for me humility of heart; that my mind may be freed from all pride, and impressed with the same low esteem of self which thou hadst of thyself, counting thyself the worst of all men, and for that reason rejoicing when thou didst suffer contempt, and seeking out for thyself occasions of enduring it. Great Saint, obtain for me a true humble heart and the knowledge of my own nothingness; that I may rejoice when I am despised, and resent not when others are preferred before me; that I may never be vain when I am praised, but may ever seek only to be great in the eyes of God, desiring to receive from Him alone all my exaltation. Pater, Ave, Gloria. Prayer to be said daily, for a good death. O glorious Saint Philip, faithful helper of thy dying children, be thou my father and protector in the hour of my death. Let not the devil overcome me; let not temptation oppress me, nor fear overwhelm me in that hour; but grant through thy intercession that, fortified by faith, hope, and charity, I may bear all things with patience and perseverance, and may happily die the death of the just. Amen.

On this episode, Julia and Gino interview Father Leo Patalinghug. Born in the Philippines and raised in the Baltimore area, Fr. Leo actually developed his love for cooking while attending the seminary at the North American College in Rome. There, he became friendly with several Italian restaurant owners and would often invite them back to the student kitchen to trade cooking secrets. They would teach him about rigatoni and lasagna; he would show them how to make hamburgers and ribs. Today, he is a skilled cook who still enjoys learning how to make new dishes, and loves the process of preparing a meal, as much as he does sharing it with a table full of friends. Fr. Leo is the host and founder of Grace Before Meals, an apostolate to strengthen families and communities around the dinner table. He is a priest ordained for the Archdiocese of Baltimore, serving as a sacramental and pastoral minister on a part-time basis.

Years ago, Laura and Pino Pugliano gifted bottles of olive oil at their wedding—never imagining it would inspire a thriving business. Our episode traces their heartfelt journey, where romance and tradition intertwine, from the charm of a small Italian town to the bustling enterprise they run today. As we explore their story, we also uncover the rich heritage of Vena di Maida, where Albanian and Italian cultures have coexisted since the 1400s. The Arbëreshë community, with its enduring language, customs, and recipes, illustrates how migration shaped Italy's cultural mosaic of resilience and continuity. Our journey then turns to Calabria's lush olive groves, where the ancient art of olive oil production still thrives. From its sacred uses in Rome to its place at modern tables, olive oil remains a timeless symbol of nourishment and identity. We highlight its health benefits, economic role, and the importance of sustainability—challenging listeners to value authentic, high-quality oils that honor Italy's agricultural legacy.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the speeches that became a byword for fierce attacks on political opponents. It was in the 4th century BC, in Athens, that Demosthenes delivered these speeches against the tyrant Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great, when Philip appeared a growing threat to Athens and its allies and Demosthenes feared his fellow citizens were set on appeasement. In what became known as The Philippics, Demosthenes tried to persuade Athenians to act against Macedon before it was too late; eventually he succeeded in stirring them, even if the Macedonians later prevailed. For these speeches prompting resistance, Demosthenes became famous as one of the Athenian democracy's greatest freedom fighters. Later, in Rome, Cicero's attacks on Mark Antony were styled on Demosthenes and these too became known as Philippics. With Paul Cartledge A. G. Leventis Senior Research Fellow at Clare College, University of Cambridge Kathryn Tempest Reader in Latin Literature and Roman History at the University of Roehampton And Jon Hesk Reader in Greek and Classical Studies at the University of St Andrews Producer: Simon Tillotson Spanning history, religion, culture, science and philosophy, In Our Time from BBC Radio 4 is essential listening for the intellectually curious. In each episode, host Melvyn Bragg and expert guests explore the characters, events and discoveries that have shaped our world.

This was a hot program! Mainly because the AC units had not yet caught up with the Arizona heat in the RV! Anyway, talked about the sad state of affairs, worldview wise, on social media, then talked about what the Bible says about purity in speech. Then we looked at a statement about the "Reformed Ghetto" from Joel Webbon and his view that Rome is not even in the top 50 issues to worry about today, and yet, how glorious "Christendom" once was! The next program will definitely be from on the road as I depart on Saturday for Tennessee.
