“Here was a program to wet the ambitions of warlords as well as scholars, and to send men into battle beneath the fluttering of banners, the hiss of arrows, and the shadow of carrion crows…” The year is 777 and Charles the Great - Charlemagne - has ruled as joint king of the Franks alongside his brother, Carloman, for nine years. Now though his brother and greatest impediment to sole authority has died under mysterious circumstances. The sole successor to the mighty Carolingian dynasty, then, Charlemagne behaves differently from all the Frankish warlords that have come before him. In the aftermath of the once great Roman Empire, he seems to have modelled himself on the image an Augustus, pushing the already formidable kingdom that he has inherited towards greater and greater dominion. In his sights now are the Saxons, long growing fractious in Germany, and also the terrifying Lombards. The campaigns that ensued would be more ruthless than any before, with Charlemagne himself personally leading his men into battle. But his regime is not only one founded upon the blade of a sword and militaristic might, it is also a religious and educational revolution. It would utterly transform the west forever, introducing widespread writing and learning, and Christianising vast swathes of Europe - poor and elite alike. But Charlemagne's total dominion of the West was still incomplete. What would happen next? Join Tom and Dominic as they delve deeper into the rise of the mighty Charlemagne: his transition to sole ruler of the Franks, his violent militaristic conquests, and a Christian regime that would change the world.  _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett Editor: Aaliyah Akude Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 504The Saint of the day is Saint ColumbanSaint Columban's Story Columban (Columbanus) was the greatest of the Irish missionaries who worked on the European continent. As a young man who was greatly tormented by temptations of the flesh, he sought the advice of a religious woman who had lived a hermit's life for years. He saw in her answer a call to leave the world. He went first to a monk on an island in Lough Erne, then to the great monastic seat of learning at Bangor. After many years of seclusion and prayer, he traveled to Gaul with 12 companion missionaries. They won wide respect for the rigor of their discipline, their preaching, and their commitment to charity and religious life in a time characterized by clerical laxity and civil strife. Columban established several monasteries in Europe which became centers of religion and culture. His writings include a treatise on penance and against Arianism, sermons, poetry, and his monastic rule. Like all saints, he met opposition. Ultimately he had to appeal to the pope against complaints of Frankish bishops, for vindication of his orthodoxy and approval of Irish customs. He reproved the king for his licentious life, insisting that he marry. Since this threatened the power of the queen mother, Columban was deported back to Ireland. His ship ran aground in a storm, and he continued his work in Europe, ultimately arriving in Italy, where he found favor with the king of the Lombards. In his last years he established the famous monastery of Bobbio, where he died. Saint Columban’s liturgical feast is celebrated on November 23. Reflection Now that public sexual license is becoming extreme, we need the Church's memory of a young man as concerned about chastity as Columban. And now that the comfort-captured Western world stands in tragic contrast to starving millions, we need the challenge to austerity and discipline of a group of Irish monks. They were too strict, we say; they went too far. How far shall we go? Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Thierry Lhermitte est notre invité pour le livre "Le Splendid par Le Splendid : Nous nous sommes tant marrés" (Le Cherche Midi). Ce sont les acteurs de tous les superlatifs : super drôles, super cultes, super amis pour la vie. Pour la première fois, les voici réunis pour raconter leur histoire, celle d'une troupe nommée « Le Splendid » qui, en quelques années, a vu des copains de lycée se hisser au rang de superstars de la comédie française. De leur rencontre à la fin des années 1960 au succès des premiers Bronzés en 1978, le temps a filé comme un fou rire sur les planches des cabarets du Club Med et du café-théâtre de la rue des Lombards. La suite est aussi célèbre que les plans foireux de Jean-Claude Dusse – « sur un malentendu, ça peut marcher » – ou que le kloug de M. Preskovitch. Grâce à des répliques que les fans se répètent sans se lasser, les comédiens du Splendid sont devenus des icônes de la culture populaire au point d'avoir leur place au musée Grévin. Ils nous ouvrent ici leur album de famille, racontent leur parcours et commentent avec plaisir et humour des photos dont beaucoup sont issues de leurs collections personnelles.

Nằm giữa hành trình vắt ngang hay bờ biển đầy những danh thắng miền nam nước Ý, Matera là một điểm dừng chân không thể bỏ lỡ của du khách. Cùng với Pompei bên bờ Tây vùng Campanie, nhà hát Hy lạp cổ đại Syracuse trên đảo Sicile, Matera góp mặt vào những địa danh cổ xưa nhất của lịch sử các nền văn minh cổ đại hàng ngàn năm trước trên vùng đất này. Được mệnh danh là “cái nôi của nhân loại” bởi các di chỉ khảo cổ cho thấy dấu vết sinh sống liên tục của người tiền sử trải suốt từ cuối thời đồ đá cũ đến thời kỳ đồ đá mới, thành phố thuộc Basilicata này là 1 trong 3 thành phố cổ đại nhất trên trái đất, cùng với Alep của Syria và Jéricho ở Cisjordanie. Những dấu vết người tiền sử trong hang đá vẫn còn giữ được đến ngày nay trong các hang sâu dưới lòng thành phố.Một trong 3 ngôi làng có niên đại cổ nhất thế giớiNếu mới liếc qua vài bức hình quảng bá du lịch, du khách không thể hình dung ra ngôi làng thực tế lại khác hoàn toàn với tưởng tượng khi xem ảnh! Trong hình, Matera hiện ra giống như nhiều ngôi làng dựng trên đỉnh một ngọn đồi cao, nhìn từ xa đã thấp thoáng chóp nhà thờ cao vút, các nếp nhà lô xô thoải dần xuống chân đồi. Nhưng thực tế lại khác xa, nên Matera còn hay được gọi là “điểm đến gây kinh ngạc”! Như trò đùa, khách thăm quan lần theo bản đồ, khu thành phố cổ dường như ngay bên cạnh họ, nhưng xung quanh bằng phẳng, chẳng nhìn thấy ngọn đồi hay đỉnh tháp nào cả! Bước thêm vài bước, qua những vòm cong khiêm tốn, đến bên một lan can nhỏ… ta mới hiểu vì sao Matera lại đáng kinh ngạc đến vậy. Trải ra trước mắt là cả một lòng chảo sâu hút, lớn gấp mấy lần đấu trường Colisée, và cả ngôi làng kỳ vĩ gọt đẽo trong vách đá vôi, sừng sững toạ lạc dưới chân du khách!Những ngôi nhà chồng chất lên nhau, những cầu thang thoắt ẩn thoắt hiện, như một bức tranh đánh lừa thị giác. Thêm vào đó, sự khép kín trong lòng vách đá và sự điệp màu đá khối của Matera làm nó mang một sự đồng nhất đáng kinh ngạc và một nét bí ẩn, xưa cũ đặc biệt.Khu thành cổ đồ sộ với kiểu nhà ở đào sâu vào trong hang đá này mang tên Sassi, khởi đầu là những hang khai thác đá vôi, sau chuyển thành nơi ở. Trong các ngôi nhà dạng mái vòm thấp này, ngay cả chỗ nằm nghỉ, vách ngăn, bàn ăn, bếp lò hay băng ghế ngồi, đều được đẽo gọt từ vách đá. Vì địa hình đá vôi không thể giữ thảm nước ngầm, người dân và các thầy tu từ xa xưa đã đào một khu hang động chứa nước mưa lớn, với sức chứa 5 triệu mét khối nước, mang tên Palombaro Lungo, và đưa nước về giữa khu dân cư thông qua hệ thống những đường kênh đào dẫn nước trong lòng núi đá. Quần thể đô thị này còn đặc biệt giá trị khi quy tụ hơn 150 nhà thờ, tu viện cổ đại xây tạc trong vách đá bởi các thầy tu Byzantin từ thế kỷ VIII. Khách tham quan có thể được chiêm ngưỡng những bức tranh tường lớn mang nội dung tôn giáo vẫn còn được lưu giữ trong những nhà thờ này.Từ đô thị thịnh vượng thành khu ổ chuộtMảnh đất này chính thức được định danh Matheola, dưới thời cai trị của Đế chế La Mã vào năm 251 trước Công nguyên. Matera đặc biệt phát triển thịnh vượng trong khoảng thế kỷ thứ X do nằm trên trung điểm của các con đường giao thương nối hai bờ biển Adriantique và Tyrrhénienne. Ngôi thành này lần lượt nằm dưới sự cai trị của các nền văn minh từ Lombards, Byzantins, Normands, qua đến Ả Rập rồi sang đế chế Ottoman đến sự chiếm đóng của người Aragon (Tây Ban Nha) vào thế kỷ XV. Vì vậy, nơi đây chứng kiến nhiều văn hóa đến từ nhiều dân tộc đa dạng, cũng như biết bao đổi rời, từ hưng thịnh đến suy tàn.Khôi phục lại vị thế, trở thành thủ phủ của vùng Basilicata vào thế kỷ XVI, Matera bắt đầu xây dựng rộng ra phần bờ vách phía trên, chia cắt dần dần thành hai khu vực : giới trung lưu tư sản  ở khu Civita phía trên, nông dân, dân nghèo sống chật chội trong những khu nhà sassi cổ dưới vách núi. Khu vực này không được đầu tư chăm sóc, dần bị đẩy ra bên lề. Tình trạng quá tải dân cư làm điều kiện sống ở đây đã không được cải thiện, lại ngày càng xuống cấp tệ hại. Hậu quả của việc không có sự tác động lớn nào trong suốt nhiều thế kỷ, là khu vực này trở nên lạc hậu trong thời đại mới. Đến tận đầu những năm 50 của thể kỷ XX, những người dân cư ngụ tại đây vẫn phải sống trong điều kiện ở như thời Trung Cổ: không có đường điện, nước sinh hoạt, nước thải thoát thẳng ra cống lộ thiên. Với dân cư quá tải trầm trọng, kiến trúc nhà ở như những hang động đào sâu trong núi khiến thông thoáng kém, bệnh dịch tràn lan và vệ sinh không đảm bảo. Tỉ lệ tử vong ở trẻ sơ sinh vượt ngưỡng 40%, bệnh lao phổi, sốt rét phổ biến, thêm vào đó là nạn mù chữ tăng cao. Khu nhà ở này trở thành một khu ổ chuột khổng lồ bị bỏ lại bên rìa xã hội.Một trong nhiều cây bút đã viết miêu tả về sự khốn cùng chứng kiến tại Matera, nhà văn, nhà báo Carlo Levi, và đồng thời là chính trị gia Ý, đã viết trong tiểu thuyết hồi ký nổi tiếng của mình, “Chúa Kito đã dừng lại ở Eboli”: “tôi liếc nhìn vào trong những ngôi nhà chỉ được chiếu sáng và lấy thoáng qua cửa vào. Một số thậm chí còn không có cả cửa vào, bạn vào nhà từ trên nóc, qua một nắp lật để xuống thang. (..) Mỗi gia đình có 1 cái hang duy nhất là nơi diễn ra mọi sinh hoạt, người lớn phụ nữ, trẻ con và động vật đều ngủ cùng nhau.(..) Hai mươi ngàn người sống như vậy. Những người phụ nữ với những đứa trẻ suy dinh dưỡng và bẩn thỉu bám trên bộ ngực khô héo, chào đón tôi bằng sự tử tế buồn bã và cam chịu : tôi tưởng như, dưới ánh mắt trời lóa mắt này, lạc vào giữa một thành phố đang bị dịch hạch hoành hành”. Cùng với sự thành công của cuốn sách, sự thật về Matera bị phơi bày, như tác giả so sánh “như Địa ngục của Danté”. Các nhà chức trách Ý thời bấy giờ coi Matera và khu nhà ở Sassi như “nỗi hổ thẹn của nước Ý”!Từ nỗi xấu hổ thành niềm tự hào của nước Ý Vào năm 1953, không thể làm ngơ, chính quyền buộc di rời toàn bộ dân cư ra những khu tái định cư mới bên ngoài. Lần đầu tiên, khu đô thị 8.000 năm tuổi không còn người sinh sống! Cùng với việc thảo đồ án quy hoạch vùng, các nhà chuyên môn và quản lý quyết định coi Matera như một phòng thí nghiệm cho chính sách tái định cư và cải tạo đô thị. Các lý thuyết đô thị theo chủ nghĩa duy lý, chức năng được nghiên cứu. Các đô thị mới được xây dựng để di dân, tái định cư. Suốt 1 thập kỷ sau đó, Sassi bị bỏ hoang. Quá xuống cấp và hoàn toàn không ở được, phương án phá dỡ để xây lại đô thị mới được tính đến - không khó hiểu trong bối cảnh tư duy kiến trúc hiện đại những năm 50. Sau gần chục ngàn năm trường tồn qua biến thiên lịch sử, mảnh đất ghi bao dấu ấn văn hóa nhân loại, với khối kiến trúc độc đáo Sassi xây “âm bản” đào sâu trong lòng vách núi đá vôi trắng, đứng trước bước ngoặt định mệnh, có nguy cơ hoàn toàn bị san phẳng!Chỉ đến giữa những năm 60, cùng với những quan điểm khai mào về bảo tồn di sản được đánh dấu bằng Hiệp ước Venise - Charte Venise, câu hỏi ứng xử với khu vực bỏ hoang một thập kỷ qua lại trỗi dậy. May mắn thay, nước Ý đã đặt cược vào một kế hoạch trùng tu và hồi sinh quy mô tổng thể đô thị cổ này. Một cuộc thi quốc tế cải tạo đô thị được phát động, đặt khu Sassi vào vai trò trung tâm lịch sử đô thị và cảnh quan của thành phố Matera. Hàng loạt quảng trường mới được thiết kế, cùng với chỉnh trang, mở rộng những trục tiếp cận, để kết nối và đặt khu thành cổ vào một tổng thể lõi lịch sử. Những trục phố, lối cầu thang mới được xây dựng hài hòa trong tổng thể, đôi khi trên mái những căn nhà cổ. Matera có diện mạo như ngày nay, phải kể đến vai trò quyết định của chính quyền từ cấp quốc gia đến địa phương. Các nhà quản lý cùng phối hợp đưa ra những khung pháp lý, điều luật riêng về bảo tồn cảnh quan, chính sách hỗ trợ tài chính, quy định sở hữu, quản lý cải tạo khu vực này. Toàn bộ hạ tầng điện nước, chiếu sáng đô thị được lắp đặt, hệ thống thông gió được trang bị thêm.Bên cạnh đó, phải kể đến những nỗ lực lớn của chính những thanh niên sinh ra trong khu ổ chuột, đã lập nên “Scaletta”- hiệp hội hành động để hồi sinh Sassi. Nhờ công sức của họ trong nhiều thập kỷ, đi khắp vùng để liệt kê 159 nhà thờ bằng đá có niên đại xây dựng từ thời những thầy tu Byzantin thế kỷ XIII. Họ tìm kiếm và thu gom lại những tác phẩm điêu khắc bị đánh cắp, thất lạc. Không dừng lại ở đó, họ tiếp nối những nghề truyền thống của vùng, đấu tranh để lịch sử và giá trị kiến trúc của Matera được biết đến rộng rãi hơn. Theo chân họ, những đoàn làm phim, nhà văn, nghệ sỹ, trí thức lũ lượt tìm đến thăm Matera. Một trong số đó là bộ phim điện ảnh gây tiếng vang lớn “La passion du Christ  - Cuộc khổ nạn của Chúa Gesu” của Mel Gibson ra mắt năm 2004 hay những cảnh quay phim Điệp viên 007 tại đây. Tất cả cùng đầu tư, cải tạo, dọn dẹp lại Matera. Thành quả của công cuộc “trả lại ánh hào quang” này là sự công nhận của UNESCO, đưa Matera vào danh sách Di sản thế giới vào năm 1993, và được lựa chọn trở thành Thủ đô văn hóa Châu Âu vào năm 2019.Kiến trúc độc đáo và điểm hẹn văn hoá trở thành dấu ấn chỉ có ở Matera“Ông của tôi là một nông dân đã 90 tuổi, ông từng sống ở trong một ngôi nhà Sassi này. Ông không thể hình dung nổi ngày nay ở đó lại có wifi và bể bơi Jacuzzi” - một thanh niên 27 tuổi nói vui khi trả lời AFP. “Quả thật, chúng tôi đã trải qua từ sự hổ thẹn biến thành niềm vinh quang”- thị trưởng Matera - Raffaello De Ruggieri tự hào thừa nhận. “Chúng tôi mong muốn phát triển hoạt động du lịch “chậm”(…) Chúng tôi muốn rằng mỗi người đến thăm Matera sẽ được sống trong một trải nghiệm riêng”, Paolo Verri, giám đốc Quỹ Matera 2019 giải thích chiến lược phát triển Thủ đô văn hóa châu Âu tại Matera theo hướng thu hút người đam mê nghệ thuật văn hóa, hơn là điểm du lịch đại trà với toàn những nhà hàng khách sạn và du khách ghé qua trong ngày. Vì thế, các căn nhà cổ chỉ có những hợp đồng thuê 30 năm, khuyến khích các hoạt động đa dạng cùng chung sống : nhà nghỉ cho thuê, galerie nghệ thuật, trung tâm văn hoá, xưởng thiết kế, xưởng nghề thủ công, nhà hàng ... Những hoạt động văn hoá thường niên được tổ chức tại đây. Những nghệ sỹ được mời đến Matera để giới thiệu các tác phẩm mới của họ.Vậy là, sau hơn nửa thế kỷ, Matera lột xác từ khu ổ chuột trở thành điểm đến du lịch và văn hoá của nước Ý vốn đã giàu di sản. Được bầu chọn là Thủ đô Văn hoá châu Âu, Matera giờ đây là niềm tự hào cho nước Ý! Thế nên khi đặt chân đến đây, trước khi nhìn thấy khu thành cổ, ấn tượng mà du khách bắt gặp đầu tiên, là trên quảng trường Vittorio Veneto, ở góc này góc kia, bắt gặp một buổi giao lưu văn hoá với một nghệ sỹ, nhà văn, hay buổi gặp gỡ trao đổi bàn tròn của một hội nhóm. Những gian hàng bán đồ thủ công mỹ nghệ địa phương rải rác trước mặt nhà hát thành phố. Bên những bức điêu khắc đồng điểm xuyết quảng trường, bên những bức họa hiện đại được trưng bày đây đó, tất cả đều diễn ra một cách ấm cúng, thân mật.Nơi đây, kiến trúc hàng ngàn năm tuổi, quy hoạch hiện đại và những hoạt động văn hoá mang nhịp thở đương đại vẫn tìm được chỗ đứng bên nhau. Ghi nhận và tôn trọng những nỗ lực đó của người Ý, những đoàn khách du lịch dường như cũng ít xô bồ ào ạt hơn khi đến đây. Bên nhau, cùng thả bước nhẹ nhàng, khoan thai hơn, để hòa mình trong không khí đời sống văn hóa bao trùm không gian, để cùng hy vọng sự cân bằng này sẽ giữ cho đô thị cổ trường tồn thêm hàng ngàn năm nữa cùng hậu thế.

Born: 540 AD, Rome, Italy Died: March 12, 604 AD, Rome, Italy For more on St. Gregory the Great and his teachings From Vatican.va, an excerpt from the teachings of Pope Benedict XVI General Audience 2008 Today I would like to present the figure of one of the greatest Fathers in the history of the Church, one of four Doctors of the West, Pope St Gregory, who was Bishop of Rome from 590 to 604, and who earned the traditional title of Magnus/the Great. Gregory was truly a great Pope and a great Doctor of the Church! He was born in Rome about 540 into a rich patrician family of the gens Anicia, who were distinguished not only for their noble blood but also for their adherence to the Christian faith and for their service to the Apostolic See. Two Popes came from this family: Felix III (483-492), the great-great grandfather of Gregory, and Agapetus (535-536). The house in which Gregory grew up stood on the Clivus Scauri, surrounded by majestic buildings that attested to the greatness of ancient Rome and the spiritual strength of Christianity. The example of his parents Gordian and Sylvia, both venerated as Saints, and those of his father's sisters, Aemiliana and Tharsilla, who lived in their own home as consecrated virgins following a path of prayer and self-denial, inspired lofty Christian sentiments in him. But the cloistered withdrawal of Gregory did not last long. The precious experience that he gained in civil administration during a period marked by serious problems, the relationships he had had in this post with the Byzantines and the universal respect that he acquired induced Pope Pelagius to appoint him deacon and to send him to Constantinople as his "apocrisarius" - today one would say "Apostolic Nuncio" in order to help overcome the last traces of the Monophysite controversy and above all to obtain the Emperor's support in the effort to check the Lombard invaders. The stay at Constantinople, where he resumed monastic life with a group of monks, was very important for Gregory, since it permitted him to acquire direct experience of the Byzantine world, as well as to approach the problem of the Lombards, who would later put his ability and energy to the test during the years of his Pontificate. After some years he was recalled to Rome by the Pope, who appointed him his secretary. They were difficult years: the continual rain, flooding due to overflowing rivers, the famine that afflicted many regions of Italy as well as Rome. Finally, even the plague broke out, which claimed numerous victims, among whom was also Pope Pelagius II. The clergy, people and senate were unanimous in choosing Gregory as his successor to the See of Peter. He tried to resist, even attempting to flee, but to no avail: finally, he had to yield. The year was 590. The post St. Gregory the Great, pt. 1 – The Doctors of the Church: The Charism of Wisdom with Dr. Matthew Bunson – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church Lectionary: 432The Saint of the day is Saint Gregory the GreatSaint Gregory the Great’s Story Gregory was the prefect of Rome before he was 30. After five years in office he resigned, founded six monasteries on his Sicilian estate, and became a Benedictine monk in his own home at Rome. Ordained a priest, Gregory became one of the pope’s seven deacons, and also served six years in the East as papal representative in Constantinople. He was recalled to become abbot, but at the age of 50 was elected pope by the clergy and people of Rome. Gregory was direct and firm. He removed unworthy priests from office, forbade taking money for many services, emptied the papal treasury to ransom prisoners of the Lombards and to care for persecuted Jews and the victims of plague and famine. He was very concerned about the conversion of England, sending 40 monks from his own monastery. He is known for his reform of the liturgy, and for strengthening respect for doctrine. Whether he was largely responsible for the revision of “Gregorian” chant is disputed. Gregory lived in a time of perpetual strife with invading Lombards and difficult relations with the East. When Rome itself was under attack, he interviewed the Lombard king. His book, Pastoral Care, on the duties and qualities of a bishop, was read for centuries after his death. He described bishops mainly as physicians whose main duties were preaching and the enforcement of discipline. In his own down-to-earth preaching, Gregory was skilled at applying the daily Gospel to the needs of his listeners. Called “the Great,” Gregory has been given a place with Augustine, Ambrose, and Jerome, as one of the four key doctors of the Western Church. An Anglican historian has written: “It is impossible to conceive what would have been the confusion, the lawlessness, the chaotic state of the Middle Ages without the medieval papacy; and of the medieval papacy, the real father is Gregory the Great.” Reflection Gregory was content to be a monk, but he willingly served the Church in other ways when asked. He sacrificed his own preferences in many ways, especially when he was called to be Bishop of Rome. Once he was called to public service, Gregory gave his considerable energies completely to this work. Gregory’s description of bishops as physicians fits in well with Pope Francis’ description of the Church as a “field hospital.” Saint Gregory the Great is the Patron Saint of: EnglandEpilepsyMusiciansTeachers Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

In this Jive Talk I shall discuss the findings presented in the preprint of the new paper from McColl and colleagues entitled ‘Steppe Ancestry in western Eurasia and the spread of the Germanic Languages'. What does it tell us about where Germanic has its roots, how it spread in the Bronze Age, Iron Age and Migration era? How Germanic were the Lombards and Ostrogoths? Lots of new information is revealed. A huge breakthrough in Germanic studies!End music: Ansuz Society - Fuþorc Please support me: https://linktr.ee/SurvivetheJive

The Lombardy region of Italy, bordered on the north by Switzerland and south by the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, has a fascinating and complex history.  But where did the name Lombardy originally come from? The Lombards were a Germanic tribe who fought their way across Europe during the Early Middle Ages, before settling on the northern part of the Italian Peninsula where they would establish a powerful kingdom that grew rapidly. In the process, the Lombards became a major thorn in the side of the Byzantine Empire and its capital Constantinople.In the first episode for 2024, we are joined by Dr Eireann Marshall to discuss the Kingdom of the Lombards.Academy Travel is a leading specialist in small-group cultural tours, allowing you to travel with like-minded companions and learn from internationally renowned experts.

Full Text of ReadingsThe Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe Lectionary: 160The Saint of the day is Saint ColumbanSaint Columban's Story Columban (Columbanus) was the greatest of the Irish missionaries who worked on the European continent. As a young man who was greatly tormented by temptations of the flesh, he sought the advice of a religious woman who had lived a hermit's life for years. He saw in her answer a call to leave the world. He went first to a monk on an island in Lough Erne, then to the great monastic seat of learning at Bangor. After many years of seclusion and prayer, he traveled to Gaul with 12 companion missionaries. They won wide respect for the rigor of their discipline, their preaching, and their commitment to charity and religious life in a time characterized by clerical laxity and civil strife. Columban established several monasteries in Europe which became centers of religion and culture. His writings include a treatise on penance and against Arianism, sermons, poetry, and his monastic rule. Like all saints, he met opposition. Ultimately he had to appeal to the pope against complaints of Frankish bishops, for vindication of his orthodoxy and approval of Irish customs. He reproved the king for his licentious life, insisting that he marry. Since this threatened the power of the queen mother, Columban was deported back to Ireland. His ship ran aground in a storm, and he continued his work in Europe, ultimately arriving in Italy, where he found favor with the king of the Lombards. In his last years he established the famous monastery of Bobbio, where he died. Saint Columban’s liturgical feast is celebrated on November 23. Reflection Now that public sexual license is becoming extreme, we need the Church's memory of a young man as concerned about chastity as Columban. And now that the comfort-captured Western world stands in tragic contrast to starving millions, we need the challenge to austerity and discipline of a group of Irish monks. They were too strict, we say; they went too far. How far shall we go? Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Full Text of ReadingsTwenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 124The Saint of the day is Saint Gregory the GreatSaint Gregory the Great’s Story Gregory was the prefect of Rome before he was 30. After five years in office he resigned, founded six monasteries on his Sicilian estate, and became a Benedictine monk in his own home at Rome. Ordained a priest, Gregory became one of the pope’s seven deacons, and also served six years in the East as papal representative in Constantinople. He was recalled to become abbot, but at the age of 50 was elected pope by the clergy and people of Rome. Gregory was direct and firm. He removed unworthy priests from office, forbade taking money for many services, emptied the papal treasury to ransom prisoners of the Lombards and to care for persecuted Jews and the victims of plague and famine. He was very concerned about the conversion of England, sending 40 monks from his own monastery. He is known for his reform of the liturgy, and for strengthening respect for doctrine. Whether he was largely responsible for the revision of “Gregorian” chant is disputed. Gregory lived in a time of perpetual strife with invading Lombards and difficult relations with the East. When Rome itself was under attack, he interviewed the Lombard king. His book, Pastoral Care, on the duties and qualities of a bishop, was read for centuries after his death. He described bishops mainly as physicians whose main duties were preaching and the enforcement of discipline. In his own down-to-earth preaching, Gregory was skilled at applying the daily Gospel to the needs of his listeners. Called “the Great,” Gregory has been given a place with Augustine, Ambrose, and Jerome, as one of the four key doctors of the Western Church. An Anglican historian has written: “It is impossible to conceive what would have been the confusion, the lawlessness, the chaotic state of the Middle Ages without the medieval papacy; and of the medieval papacy, the real father is Gregory the Great.” Reflection Gregory was content to be a monk, but he willingly served the Church in other ways when asked. He sacrificed his own preferences in many ways, especially when he was called to be Bishop of Rome. Once he was called to public service, Gregory gave his considerable energies completely to this work. Gregory’s description of bishops as physicians fits in well with Pope Francis’ description of the Church as a “field hospital.” Saint Gregory the Great is the Patron Saint of: EnglandEpilepsyMusiciansTeachers Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

The first two-parter in Unlimited Opinions history! Join us as we look at the Catholic Church during the Dark Ages, beginning with the fall of Rome, the conversions of the various barbarian tribes, the invasion of the Muslims, and the low point of papal history! Throughout this episode, we continuously ask whether or not the Dark Ages were truly dark, given the presence of strong theological centers in monasteries and the presence of a new Christian legal system. We also go on plenty of rants, including one about Andrew Tate and starting our own combination fraternity-monasteries!Follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/UlmtdOpinions

When looking at the Republics of medieval Italy it's always shocking to see on the map a northern central Italian country with Rome in it known as the Papal States. The Papal States were a territory under the direct control of the Pope for over a thousand years from AD 756 to 1870. In this episode, we look into why the Pope became a sovereign king over earthly territory, how he protected this land from Huns, Goths, Vandals, and Lombards, how the territories forced the Pope to crown 2 Roman Emperors in France 1000 years apart (Charlemagne and Napoleon), and how the territories eventually got reduced to just the Vatican Hill near Rome. Finally, we look at the modern state of Vatican City and compare it to its past iterations, as well as discuss how even though the Pope's earthly power has waned, his influence is more relevant than ever.

This is part 19 of the Early Church History class. Even though the Roman Empire chose Nicene Christianity as it's "orthodoxy," subordinationist Christianity continued to exist, especially outside among the Germanic tribes. In this episode, you'll learn about Ulfilas the Missionary to the Goths who not only brought Christianity to these "barbarians," but also made them an alphabet and translated most of the bible into Gothic. Next, we'll briefly survey the major Germanic tribes, including the Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals, Burgundians, Lombards, and finally the Franks. This little known chapter of history when the Arian kingdoms took over the Roman Empire had a massive effects on Europe and North Africa for centuries to come.

Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here —— Notes —— Ulfilas, Missionary to the Goths 340 Subordinationist bishops ordained Ulfilas bishop to the Visigoths 341-347 lived with the Goths and preached to them Ulfilas translated the Bible into Gothic. Rule of Faith: “I believe in one God the Father, alone ingenerate and invisible, and in his only-begotten Son, our Lord and God, artificer and maker of the whole creation, who has nobody like him–therefore there is one God the Father of all who is also God of our God–and in one Holy Spirit, the power which illuminates and sanctifies, as Christ said after the resurrection to his apostles, and he (i.e. the Spirit) is not God nor our God, but the minister of Christ ... subordinate and obedient in all things to the Son, and the Son subordinate and obedient in all things to his God and Father…”[1] Huns The Huns were a nomadic confederation of Mongolian tribes who began entering Europe in the fourth century. Ammianus Marcellinus described them as utter savages who never bathed or changed their clothes and lived on their horses. Atilla the Hun (r. 434-453) attacked Persia, the Balkans, Constantinople, Gaul, and Italy, terrifying many within the Roman Empire (both East and West). Visigoths Eudoxius, Bishop of Constantinople (r. 360-370) succeeding in establishing communion with Visigoths Eudoxius was an Anomean (Heteroousian) like Eunomius 376 Visigoths petitioned the emperor to enter the Roman Empire. Permission was granted, but local Roman leaders badly mistreated the Visigoths. 377 Visigoths rebelled. 378 Visigoths defeated and killed Emperor Valens at the Battle of Adrianople. 410 Alaric sacked and looted Rome. 418 Visigoths settled in Gaul, then Spain 589 Visigoths converted to Catholicism at the Council of Toledo. Ostrogoths 453 Atilla the Hun died, resulting in rebellion against the Huns. 476 Odoacer removed the last western Roman Augustus from power (Romulus Augustulus). 488-493 Byzantine Emperor Zeno asked Theodoric and Ostrogoths to conquer Italy and rule as his client. 493 Theodoric and Ostrogoths began ruling Italy as Arians over Roman Catholics. 535 Byzantine Emperor Justinian conquered Ostrogoths and retook Italy. Vandals 406 The Vandals crossed into Gaul, then into Spain in 409. Rome instigated the Visigoths (also in Spain) to attack the Vandals. 419 More Vandals came into Spain. 426 Vandals began raiding North Africa. 428 Under Gaiseric, 80,000 Vandals crossed the Strait of Gibraltar. 430 They conquered most of North Africa (Mauretania). Gaiseric was a devoted Arian who pillaged Catholic churches. The Vandals ruled North Africa for a century over the Roman Catholics. 455 They reinvaded Spain and Italy, sacking Rome. 533 Byzantine Emperor Justinian conquered the Vandals and retook North Africa. Burgundians 451 Arian Burgundians fought Atilla the Hun on behalf of Rome. 470 Migrated to Gaul and took Lyons 532 Franks defeated Burgundians, absorbing them. Lombards 568 Audoin the Lombard recruited a massive army made up of several barbarian tribes and invaded Italy. 574 Lombards split Italy into 30+ regions under the command of dukes (duces). Lombard kings were Arian from 6th century until Adaloald in 615 By late 7th century, the Lombards became Roman Catholics. Franks Childeric I (r. 457-481) began uniting Frankish tribes. Clovis I (r. 481-511) killed his rivals and became sole king of the Franks, establishing the Merovingian dynasty, which lasted until 751. Chlotild, the wife of Clovis I, was a Roman Catholic who tried to convince Clovis to become a Christian. 496 In a war with the Alamanni, he was losing and prayed to Christ for military victory. After he won, he and 3,000 from his army converted. Joseph Lynch: “The Franks turned out to be the toughest barbarians.”[2] The Franks flourished until the eighth century and were the ancestors of modern France, Germany, Italy, Holland, and Belgium. Review Subordinationist Bishop Ulfilas went on a mission to preach Christ to the Goths in the middle of the fourth century. Ulfilas invented a Gothic alphabet and translated the Bible into their language, sparking a movement that eventually led to the conversion of most of the Germanic tribes to Arian Christianity. When hordes of fierce Huns migrated West into Europe, Gothic tribes began migrating into the Roman Empire. Under Alaric, the Arian Visigoths conquered much of the Italian peninsula and even sacked Rome in 410 before migrating to Gaul and Spain. In the fifth century, Arian Ostrogoths under Theodoric conquered Italy and established themselves as a ruling class over the Trinitarian Romans there. In the fifth century, Arian Vandals conquered Spain then migrated to North Africa where they ruled for a century until the time of Justinian. In the fifth century, Arian Burgundians conquered and occupied Gaul until the Franks absorbed them in the sixth century. In the sixth century, Arian and Pagan Lombards conquered much of Italy, but converted to Trinitarian Catholicism in the seventh century. In the late fifth century, Clovis I, king of the Franks, converted from paganism to Trinitarian Christianity, eventually extending influence over surrounding Germanic tribes. From the fourth to the seventh centuries, Germanic tribes who held to Arian Christianity invaded and conquered much of the western Roman Empire, but either faced defeat by Justinian or else converted to Roman Catholicism.

Gabi Hartmann est la bonne surprise de 2023. L'artiste française se profile avec élégance dans les traces de Melody Gardot. Entre jazz et bossa. Elle est l'invitée de la SessionLive où elle jouera 2 titres avec le clarinettiste Robbie Marshall. En ouverture, Sophian Fanen présente l'actu discographique en 5 titres. Tous les mois, le journaliste et critique musical Sophian Fanen partage ses obsessions du moment :- Crimi, 'A Sira, tiré de l'album «Scuru Cauru» (Airfono, 2023) voir le clip -Smokey Robinson, I Wanna Know your Body, tiré de l'album Gasms (Smokey Robinson, 2023)-Lucie Antunes, Vivant·e·s pt. 1, tiré de l'album Carnaval (CryBaby/Infiné, 2023)-Kassin, Perfeito (feat. Chiara Banfi), single (LAB 344, 2023)- MC Yallah, Sikwebela, tiré de l'album «Yallah Beibe» (Hakuna Kulala, 2023) voir le clip.Puis nous recevons Gabi Hartmann pour la sortie de son 1er album.On pourra discuter à l'infini, mais on ne sait pas forcément très clairement où la voix de Gabi Hartmann nous transporte : un bar jazz en sous-sol, une plage tropicale au crépuscule, une terrasse dans une pente de Lisbonne, le fond d'une brasserie parisienne par une nuit d'hiver ? On ferme les yeux et passent, enlacées, l'ombre d'une légende du jazz, d'une diva de la bossa nova, d'une grande dame en noir de la chanson française ou portugaise, quelque part au carrefour du chic exquis et de la mélancolie vertigineuse, de la douceur consolante et du spleen partagé. Quelques mois après un EP introductif, paraît enfin le premier album de Gabi Hartmann, produit avec Jesse Harris. Ils se rencontrent en 2018 à New York. Il apporte tout ce qui fait la gloire de ses collaborations avec Norah Jones, Madeleine Peyroux ou Melody Gardot. Gabi Hartmann apporte aussi une histoire musicale personnelle en devenir, mais déjà touffue. Enfance et famille parisienne écoutant à la fois de la chanson, du rock et des musiques de partout. Piano classique jusqu'à quatorze ans, lorsqu'elle l'échange contre la guitare de son frère pour écrire des chansons. Le jazz surgit en rewind après sa découverte d'Amy Winehouse et de ses reprises d'Ella, Sinatra ou Nat King Cole. Cours de jazz à la Schola Cantorum puis au Conservatoire, détour par la musique brésilienne en vivant deux ans à Rio de Janeiro, une année d'ethnomusicologie à Londres, retour à Paris pour entrelacer des projets en dix genres et trois langues. Quand Jesse Harris lui propose de produire son album, elle y voit une invitation à « rassembler tout ce que je suis », dit-elle – l'amour de Billie Holiday et de Lhasa de Sela, ses amitiés pour le flûtiste soudanais Ghandi Adam et pour le guitariste guinéen Abdoulaye Kouyaté, son admiration pour l'immense crooner Henri Salvador et ses souvenirs de voyage en Afrique, son matériel tout neuf et des splendeurs vénérables écrites avant la naissance de ses parents… Dès leur rencontre, les deux musiciens écrivent et enregistrent entre New York et Paris. Peu à peu, émergent des chansons de Gabi, la cohérence entre son amour des grands standards jazz et ses confessions de jeune Française de son siècle, entre sa fascination pour les musiques des Tropiques et son instinct poétique parisien… Tout en préparant cet album, elle fait la première partie de Jamie Cullum ou Melody Gardot, passe régulièrement au mythique club de jazz le Duc des Lombards, voit grandir la rumeur sur son nom… À la rentrée 2021, les cinq titres de son EP annoncent une grande voix à la fois populaire et savante. Et voici que l'album confirme : timbre chaud et précis avec une once de désinvolture élégante, charme également funambule en français, en anglais et en portugais (et aussi pour quelques couplets en arabe), esthétique intemporelle et regard franc sur son époque (La Mer, titre tragique sur le sort des migrants en Méditerranée), phrasé d'idole du disque et classe des classiques de Cinecittá, auteure introspective et compositrice plurielle… Voici ce que les Américains appellent chanteuse, et que l'on appelle lady en français, aussi douée pour se montrer telle qu'en elle-même que pour endosser les habits de la légende.Titres interprétés au grand studio- Mille Rivages Live RFI voir le clip - La Mer, extrait de l'album- L'amour incompris Live RFI.Line Up : Gabi Hartman, voix, guitare, Robby Marshall, flûte traversière.Son : Jérémie Besset, Mathias Taylor.► Album Gabi Hartmann (Sony Music 2023).Prochain concert, le 27 novembre 2023 à La Cigale, Paris.

Saturday of the Fourth Week of Easter Saint of the Day: St. Petronax, 670-747; joined the Benedictines in Brescia, italy; in 717 he was asked by Pope St. Gregory to examine the ruins of Monte Cassino, damaged by the Lombards in 580; he gathered the hermits who were living there and began rebuilding; he was elected abbot, and ruled Monte Cassino for three decades; known as the "second founder of Monte Cassino" Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 5/6/23 Gospel: John 14:7-14

Originariamente pubblicato solo in Giappone, grazie ad una meritoria ristampa dell'etichetta francese Wewantsounds è tornato da poco disponibile, in vinile e cd, l'album Song of Soil, intestato al batterista giapponese Masahiko Togashi e registrato a Parigi nel '79 in trio con Don Cherry e Charlie Haden. All'epoca Cherry e Haden erano nella capitale francese e suonavano alla Chapelle des Lombards; negli anni sessanta enfant prodige della batteria e fra i pionieri del free jazz nipponico, poi vittima di un incidente che lo lasciò paralizzato dalla vita in giù ma che non fermò la sua carriera, Togashi riuscì ad avere l'ok per l'incisione da Martin Meissonier, all'epoca agente/tuttofare di Don Cherry, e arrivò appositamente a Parigi dal Giappone. Oltre che per la qualità della musica, questa ristampa di Song of Soil si distingue anche per il libretto di accompagnamento, che oltre ad un profilo di Togashi, comprende un testo con passaggi di intervista a Meissonier. Già animatore di programmi radiofonici e giornalista a Libération, Meissonier, che sarebbe poi stato una figura chiave della fase di lancio della musica africana e della world music negli anni ottanta, lavorò per Don Cherry dalla seconda metà degli anni settanta all'81, e offre un ritratto di prima mano, molto interessante e delizioso, del Don Cherry che in quegli anni era un assiduo frequentatore della capitale francese: ""Già ai tempi di France Musique avevo preso il gusto per una mentalità aperta: ma con Don ero passato alla pratica".

JAZZ INTERVIEW mardi et vendredi à 14h. Cette semaine, Julie Chaizemartin, Serge Mariani ou Fred Blanc rencontrent des personnalités du monde du jazz. Cette semaine, Serge rencontre Olga Amelchenko à l'occasion de la sortie de son nouvel album "Slaying The Dream" le 3 mars 2023 et de son concert de sortie d'album le 7 mars au Duc des Lombards. "Malgré les blessures intimes que lui cause toujours le drame continu de l'actualité, Olga Amelchenko démontre avec son nouvel album, Slaying The Dream (Art District Music / 2023), qu'une jeune musicienne venue de sa Sibérie natale jusqu'en Europe peut faire entendre, dans l'existence comme dans sa musique, la volonté de donner vie à nos rêves et le désir permanent de liberté. Voilà ce qui inspire son jazz et c'en est dumeilleur."

Since we have never been there in the podcast, we take some time to go back and give a very general overview of the northern Italian region of Trentino Alto Adige, perched up north between the duchy of Milan and the Republic of Venice with reference to the time we are in. We go through Romans, Goths, Byzantines, Lombards, Franks to get to the bishop-counts that characterise this area, such as George of Lichtenstein or Federico Vanga. We then see how Venice started to encroach and hear about a rather spectacular feat of overland fleet travel engineering.

 “At the start of the twelfth century,” writes Rowan Dorin, “western European rulers almost never resorted to the collective expulsions of wrongdoers from their domains; ecclesiastical authorities evinced little concern about the Jewish communities living under Christian rule; and the church's efforts to repress usury focused largely on clerics who engaged in money lending. By the late thirteenth century, expulsion had become a recurring tool of royal governance in both England and France; bishops across Latin Christendom were advocating for harsh restrictions on Jewish life; and Popes, theologians, and canon lawyers had recast usury as menacing the whole of society…” Why and how this dramatic change comes about is the focus of Dorin's new book No Return: Jews, Christian Usurers, and the Spread of Mass Expulsion in Medieval Europe. There is much in it which will overturn casual assumptions, and provoke new perspectives on the present–for if the use of expulsion by governments has a beginning, its ending has certainly not yet occurred.  Rowan Dorin is Assistant Professor of History at Stanford University. No Return is his first book.

This week's show is about one of the most famous white wines in Italy, the region's/wine's 1000 year history, and its recent comeback in quality and stature. The region? Soave (SWAH-vay) in Veneto, Italy. Map: Consorzio Tutela Vini Soave Located just east of the famed city of Verona (Romeo and Juliet, anyone?), in the foothills of the Lessini Mountains, Soave is a tiny region that packs a punch in reputation and in flavor. Made from one of the oldest known grapes in Italy, the Garganega grape, Soave's cheek coating, almond-flavored, floral, and sometimes waterfall-like notes creates a food friendly, crowd pleasing wine.  Although often maligned by the wine trade, who is woefully behind on this trend, Soave is one for us, normal wine lovers. Surely there is garbage to be had when the grapes are grown on the flats of the region, but on the ancient, steep, volcanic hillsides, worked meticulously by hand, the grapes farmed for these wines create outstanding examples of Italian white at its best. If you haven't had it, go and get an example from the producers we recommend (Gini, Inama, Pra, Pieropan, Suavia – you won't be sorry!) Here are the show notes... Soave is located east of Verona, at 45.45° N latitude It is a small region, with just 6,500 hectares (16,062 acres) planted, but those plantings give a lot of bang for the buck – recent figures show the region makes about 4.4 MM cases   Location, climate, land: The DOC is on a border between flat plains of the Po River Valley in the south and Alpine foothills in the north. Its main towns – Soave and Monteforte d'Alpone lie on the flats – but between them and north there is a large volcanic outcropping that rises up in steep slopes Climate: Because of its proximity to the river, the region is influenced by the mists of the Po Valleyduring harvest, which can produce conditions for mold and disease. The tough Garganega grape can resist disease, but it is still a threat to the vineyards. It can be hot on valley floors in the summer and quite cold in the spring and fall, so slopes are preferred for viticulture. Land: Soave is a series of hills and valleys formed by volcanic activity and the recession of a small sea, along with plate movement. Soils are a mixture but in general: WEST and CENTER AREAs: Calcareous, limestone soils Central-Eastern Areas: Volcanic/basalt based soils   Soave's rolling hills. Photo: Consorzio Tutela Vini Soave Grape varieties:  Garganega is one of oldest white grapes in Italy and represents 88% of plantings. It has grown in the hills of Soave for at least 1,000 years and is one of Italy's oldest varieties. Garganega can crop to high yields, with large bunches so when growers preferred quantity over quality in the 1960s and 1970s, the vine produced. But like all grapes, when overcropped and grown on fertile valleys, Gargenega has no flavor! Characteristics of Garganega: Flavors change based on soil type and winemaking. They range from steely, waterfall-like to peachy with white flowers, citrusy, and like apples. Good Garganega has acidity but a cheek-coating quality and a slightly bitter-almond finish. They are sometimes aged on the lees but not often oak aged, as it kills the freshness/acidity in the wine. The better Soaves are mostly 100% Garganega, but by law, the wine must have 70% Garganega with up to 30% of Trebbiano di Soave (Verdicchio, not crappy Trebbiano)) or, Chardonnay (traditionalists don't approve) with other non-aromatic, local grapes permitted in up to 5% of the blend. The Garganega Grape.. Photo from Consorzio Tutela Vini Soave   Trebbiano di Soave. An exception to some of the low quality Trebbiani, this is the same grape Verdicchio (often from Le Marche). It's a low yielding variety, ripens earlier than Garganega, and it's acidic, floral, and light. It used to be in more frequent use but its sensitivity to mold and rot, it has slowly been replaced by the more vigorous Garganega.     We go through the history, and over the theories of how Soave got its name: The name is from the writings of Dante Alighieri, devised during his exile in Verona. The name is from a Nordic tribe (Svevi) that once inhabited the area.  Or it could be from a Germanic tribe –the Lombards who set up the city of Soave in the 500s     Soave DOCs and their terroir… The Soave DOC and its two subzones (Soave Classico DOC and Soave Colli Scaligeri DOC) make 99.5% of the wine (the rest is sweet Recioto di Soave DOCG and Soave Superiore DOCG).  Most of the wine is dry, still, white wine. A small amount of sparkling is made. There are 33 "Unità Geografica Aggiuntiva” or Additional Geographical Units, similar to the MGA of Barolo and Barbaresco -- single vineyard sites.    Map: https://www.amaronetours.it/wines/soave There are various terroir in Soave, as we discuss earlier in the podcast:   The Hills Soave Classico and Soave Colli Scaligeri (KOH-lee ska-LEE-jah-ree) are in the mountains, as just described. The Colli Scaligeri form a horseshoe around Soave Classico and these are higher elevation areas mainly on limestone but with some basalt. The two areas are the high quality, traditional growing regions of Soave. Volcanic hillsides are in the central to eastern area of Lessini mountains (near Monteforte d'Alpone). These slopes go up to 500 M /328 feet, but slope can go from 10% to 80% grade! These wines can sometimes show a cinnamon note from the benzonoids in the wine. Limestone hillsides in the west (near Soave) have shallow, rocky subsoils. These wines are more variable since the calcareous content varies depending on the place on the hill. Tropical fruit, floral, apple, and citrus flavors are common.     The Plains The Soave DOC includes the flat floor of the three valleys, where the soils are deeper, rich in clay, and the climate is very hot in summer, and frosty in the “shoulder seasons” of spring (during budbreak) and fall (during harvest). This valley area includes all the expanded are discussed in the history review, and it is the reason why people have a bad idea about Soave, despite the fact that it is so historic and delicious when made in the right regions. Volcanic Plains are mainly in the Monteforte Valley, one of the most fertile areas of Soave. These plains are high in clay and volcanic sediment deposited from the hills above. These are simple wines. (Volcanic Park I mentioned is here) The limestone plain contains alluvial valley soils deposited from intense rain along Alpone valley and the foothills around Verona. These are rocky, sandy soils and the wines can be floral, simple, and often overcropped.     Soave Soil Map: https://www.amaronetours.it/wines/soave   The two DOCGs: Recioto di Soave, Soave Superiore These wines are often from the subzones but they are not required to be. They have their own zone of production that overlaps most of the Soave DOC. They must not contain more than 5% Chardonnay and must be at least 70% Garganega and up to 30% Trebbiano di Soave. Recioto di Soave DOCG can be still or sparkling wine. It is made from grapes dried on straw mats outside or in a controlled environment. They must be an minimum of 14% ABV and are an intense golden color, with apricot, floral, and vanilla notes. Soave Superiore DOCG, began with the 2002 vintage. These wines must have lower yields, more alcohol, and undergo longer ageing (they are not released until April versus February for the others).  These wines have a darker color, richer flavors, stronger floral notes, and are weightier. The issue: they aren't representative of the style of Soave, so a lot producers aren't using the DOCG. It's possible this will be the first DOCG that is rescinded – but stay tuned! Soave's hillside vineyards.. Photo from Consorzio Tutela Vini Soave Food Pairings: Soave is lovely with food because it has acidity and delicate aromas. Perfect pairings are simple risottos with parmesan cheese, seafood and vegetable pastas, and grilled white fish and seafood or chicken in herbal or citrus preparations.   Go out and get some Soave – it is AWESOME!! _______________________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors this week: Wine Spies uncovers incredible wines at unreal prices - on every type of wine in a variety of price points.

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 508All podcast readings are produced by the USCCB and are from the Catholic Lectionary, based on the New American Bible and approved for use in the United States _______________________________________The Saint of the day is Saint ColumbanColumban (Columbanus) was the greatest of the Irish missionaries who worked on the European continent. As a young man who was greatly tormented by temptations of the flesh, he sought the advice of a religious woman who had lived a hermit's life for years. He saw in her answer a call to leave the world. He went first to a monk on an island in Lough Erne, then to the great monastic seat of learning at Bangor. After many years of seclusion and prayer, he traveled to Gaul with 12 companion missionaries. They won wide respect for the rigor of their discipline, their preaching, and their commitment to charity and religious life in a time characterized by clerical laxity and civil strife. Columban established several monasteries in Europe which became centers of religion and culture. His writings include a treatise on penance and against Arianism, sermons, poetry, and his monastic rule. Like all saints, he met opposition. Ultimately he had to appeal to the pope against complaints of Frankish bishops, for vindication of his orthodoxy and approval of Irish customs. He reproved the king for his licentious life, insisting that he marry. Since this threatened the power of the queen mother, Columban was deported back to Ireland. His ship ran aground in a storm, and he continued his work in Europe, ultimately arriving in Italy, where he found favor with the king of the Lombards. In his last years he established the famous monastery of Bobbio, where he died. Saint Columban's liturgical feast is celebrated on November 23. Reflection Now that public sexual license is becoming extreme, we need the Church's memory of a young man as concerned about chastity as Columban. And now that the comfort-captured Western world stands in tragic contrast to starving millions, we need the challenge to austerity and discipline of a group of Irish monks. They were too strict, we say; they went too far. How far shall we go? Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

King Alboin was a very successful king of the Lombards, and conquered the Gepids, and took Rosamund, the daughter of the king of the Gepids, as his wife, and everything was great, but then Rosamund murdered him, with the help of her lover. She was probably not very happy about the marriage, since she was still mourning the deaths of her father and her grandfather and her brother, so probably being married to the guy that killed them wasn't fun. The story got embellished pretty quickly; Alboin made Rosamund drink out of the skull of her father, for instance -- nice detail but your hosts don't believe it happened. As time went on, the story stopped being about Alboin and started being about Rosamund. Michelle watched an entire  movie from 1961, and says we should not do that, but she gives us a link anyway. Just in case.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church Lectionary: 436All podcast readings are produced by the USCCB and are from the Catholic Lectionary, based on the New American Bible and approved for use in the United States _______________________________________The Saint of the day is Saint Gregory the GreatGregory was the prefect of Rome before he was 30. After five years in office he resigned, founded six monasteries on his Sicilian estate, and became a Benedictine monk in his own home at Rome. Ordained a priest, Gregory became one of the pope's seven deacons, and also served six years in the East as papal representative in Constantinople. He was recalled to become abbot, but at the age of 50 was elected pope by the clergy and people of Rome. Gregory was direct and firm. He removed unworthy priests from office, forbade taking money for many services, emptied the papal treasury to ransom prisoners of the Lombards and to care for persecuted Jews and the victims of plague and famine. He was very concerned about the conversion of England, sending 40 monks from his own monastery. He is known for his reform of the liturgy, and for strengthening respect for doctrine. Whether he was largely responsible for the revision of “Gregorian” chant is disputed. Gregory lived in a time of perpetual strife with invading Lombards and difficult relations with the East. When Rome itself was under attack, he interviewed the Lombard king. His book, Pastoral Care, on the duties and qualities of a bishop, was read for centuries after his death. He described bishops mainly as physicians whose main duties were preaching and the enforcement of discipline. In his own down-to-earth preaching, Gregory was skilled at applying the daily Gospel to the needs of his listeners. Called “the Great,” Gregory has been given a place with Augustine, Ambrose, and Jerome, as one of the four key doctors of the Western Church. An Anglican historian has written: “It is impossible to conceive what would have been the confusion, the lawlessness, the chaotic state of the Middle Ages without the medieval papacy; and of the medieval papacy, the real father is Gregory the Great.” Reflection Gregory was content to be a monk, but he willingly served the Church in other ways when asked. He sacrificed his own preferences in many ways, especially when he was called to be Bishop of Rome. Once he was called to public service, Gregory gave his considerable energies completely to this work. Gregory's description of bishops as physicians fits in well with Pope Francis' description of the Church as a "field hospital."

Friday of the Third Week of Easter Saint of the Day: St. Petronax, 670-747; joined the Benedictines in 717, and was asked by Pope Gregory to examine the ruins of Monte Cassino, which had been damaged by the Lombards in 580; rebuilt, and he served as abbot for three decades Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 5/6/22 Gospel: John 6:52-59

This week we're going to take a look at how, for the third time in less than two decades, the Franks and the Lombards came to blows. However, the Franks would be under new management for the fight this time. Would the change of leader make a difference in the outcome of the war? Let's return to 771, where the newly minted King of the Franks has a Queen and a Prince on the run for their lives. Why did Gerberga flee to Italy, and why did Charles allow it to happen? ⚜️ ⚜️ ⚜️ Links to social media and the website: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ThugsAndMiracles Site: https://www.thugsandmiracles.com/ Email: thugsandmiracles@gmail.com Twitter: @thugsandmiracle (with no “s” on the end) Facebook: @ThugsAndMiracles Instagram: @ThugsAndMiracles YouTube: Thugs and Miracles Academia.edu: Life After Rome Listenable: History of the Merovingians, 451-613

Welcome back and welcome to Season Three! As always, I'm Benjamin Bernier, and this week we're going to get right into it... Picking up where we left off at the end of last season, we're going to watch the newly crowned Pépin I of the Carolingians answer the call for help from the Pope... just three years after the call was initially put out, and after the death of the Pope who was calling. So much for timelines! However, when the Franks finally did get things in order in Francia well enough for them to come over the Alps, well, the Lombards were going to find out who the real power players in Western Europe really were. All of this action would lead to new realizations, a new map of Empire, and in the end, a Donation to the Church that would change the way the Papacy was viewed right up until the present day. On a more present note, with the inauguration of Season 3, we here at T+M also decided the time was right to start a Patreon account! We appreciate everyone who listens to the show and everyone who leaves reviews, and now we're asking, if your heart is big enough, to show the world how much you like us with a donation to help us cover some of the production costs. Over the past two years, we've done this show with almost nothing in the way of ads or other income, and well, it hasn't been the greatest business model, to say the least! What we're doing now is asking you to pick a level you're comfortable with, and with those levels you'll get access to some great extras, as well as the chance to join the Merovingians, Carolingians, Capetians or Napoleons: For $1 you can become a Merovingian, a founding supporter of the show; for that you'll get your name read out in our next episode! For $3 you can step up to being a Carolingian; at that tier you get your name read out, you get access to our Patreon Exclusive episodes, and the chance to vote on topics for upcoming Exclusives. We have five of our Bonus Episodes from Seasons 1 and 2 already migrated over to Patreon, and we plan on dropping a new Exclusive episode once a month going forward. For January, we'll be looking at what might have been if Charles Martel had lost at the Battle of Tours; if that interests you and you want to have a say in the show, this level is for you! Next is the Capetian level, offering you all of the other great benefits already mentioned. But wait, there's more! For $5/month as a Capetian, you'll get access to the ad-free feed of the show (because soon enough, the free stream of the pod will include staff-selected ads from companies with products we think our audience will like). If you don't want your listening experience sullied by intrusive adverts, then please head on over to Patreon and take advantage of becoming a Capetian. Finally, for anyone out there who dreams just a little bigger, we have the final level: Napoleonic! For $20/month, you get everything the show has to offer, plus you'll get your name mentioned in every single episode while your reign lasts. And there's a limit to how many Emperors we can have: just as there were only three Emperors Napoleon, this tier will also be limited to three. You just don't get much more exclusive than that, and we're sure that we'll have extra extras in store for you as time goes on. Thank you for supporting the show, and thank you for showing you care, either financially or with a nice review! We are looking forward to another great season, and can't wait to be back in your feed in 10 days! * * * Links to social media and the website: Site: https://www.thugsandmiracles.com/ Email: thugsandmiracles@gmail.com Twitter: @thugsandmiracle (with no “s” on the end) Facebook: @ThugsAndMiracles Instagram: @ThugsAndMiracles YouTube: Thugs and Miracles Academia.edu: Life After Rome Listenable: History of the Merovingians, 451-613

To celebrate reaching episode 125, we have a special episode with questions from our wonderful listeners We get to talk about Latin, Lombards, Normans, noble houses, strange surnames, the mafia, fascism and much, much more.

It's finally time for the Carolingians to snatch that crown from the feeble hands of the last Merovingians. This week we'll see the Franks and the Lombards finally butt heads in an epic showdown, witness a blossoming bromance between Pepin and the Pope, and discuss why Pepin the Short (like Napoleon) was probably not short. This is hopefully the last of our sketchy-audio-quality episodes. So look forward to crisp and clear sound next week with Carloman I, whose reign will be an important prelude to that of the Father of Europe himself, Charlemagne.

This week, we're going to take a look at the end of Charles Martel, the naming of his two legitimate sons as heirs, and consider just how different the world is now from the world we started with in 451. I mean, think of how much has changed: the Franks adopted Nicene Christianity and converted most of their people and the surrounding groups to that faith, breaking them from either the Roman- or Germanic-style paganism that most had practiced when we began this show. Those who were not yet converted were faced with missionaries such as Boniface, who operated in the name of the Pope and under the protection of the Franks. On top of that, the Franks had become such a force in the world that they now had the Pope sending envoys asking for help and protection of himself and Rome in addition to the Church's missionaries in Germania. Staying along these lines, we've seen the people pressuring Rome transition from the Ostrogoths to the Lombards; while they're a different group, they present the same general problems for the Catholic institutions of Italy. And we've also seen a dramatic weakening of the power structures of the Eastern Roman Empire; compare where we're at now, with the Pope asking Charles Martel for assistance in the face of the threats from both the Lombards and Constantinople, to where we were in 507 when Clovis I won the Battle of Vouillé and was invited to be a consul of Rome by the East. In that earlier case, the recognition from Constantinople was a sign of respect; now, over 230 years later, the Franks are on a more even footing with the Emperor. Finally, moving past all of the groups we've traditionally seen the Merovingians and Franks have to deal with, we have seen a new group of people sally forth with a religion that is, at first glance, far different than anything Christianity has to offer. The Umayyad Caliphate successfully ran through every part of what had once been a part of Rome in North Africa and destroyed or appropriated entire groups - and for the Franks, this was encapsulated most notably in the Visigoths. The Ummayads had to have looked unlike anything the Franks had ever known, and when they started coming into Francia around 720, they would have changed the way the Franks viewed their southern border. One can only imagine if this interaction made Charles Martel and his subordinates wonder about any other groups out there that they hadn't yet met. It's possible that the knowledge of that first Danish raid in 516 into Francia was remembered within the realm, as Gregory of Tours had written about it in his _History of the Franks_, but how much a story from over 200 years earlier would have concerned the current Franks about the possibility of an invasion by the Northmen is questionable. So this is the world of 741 that Carloman and Pépin are about to inherit. Christianity is growing exponentially and Frankish power is aligning with that growth; the Byzantines are weakening, but new groups are still available in the world to surprise and destabilize the known order. Charles Martel fought one of these back in 732 in the form of the Caliphate, but that doesn't mean other groups wouldn't come along looking for a soft underbelly to strike. And with all of this going on, the matter of leadership - king-wise - is still an issue. Since 737, we've not had a Merovingian king, and while no one seems any worse for the wear for this being the case in the past four years, that was all under the firm hand of Charles. It was all but an inevitability that someone would come along and challenge the brothers, on this issue if on no other. * * * Links to social media and the website: Academia.edu: Life After Rome Site: https://www.thugsandmiracles.com/ Email: thugsandmiracles@gmail.com Twitter: @thugsandmiracle (with no “s” on the end) Facebook: @ThugsAndMiracles Instagram: @ThugsAndMiracles YouTube: Thugs and Miracles Listenable: History of the Merovingians, 451-613
