When news broke that Prince Andrew would not only attend Prince Philip's memorial service in March 2022, but would also accompany Queen Elizabeth II publicly and be photographed at her side, the reaction was immediate and intense. It marked his first high-visibility appearance since stepping back from royal duties and losing his honorary military titles amid the fallout from sexual-abuse allegations and his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. For many observers, the palace decision signaled an attempt to rehabilitate Andrew's public image, using the solemnity and sympathy attached to Philip's memorial to soften outrage. The optics were unmistakable: the Queen arriving arm-in-arm with Andrew sent a powerful message that she still supported him personally, even as the public and institutions distanced themselves.The backlash was swift. Critics argued that the move undermined the monarchy's credibility and disrespected survivors who had spent years demanding accountability. Commentators across political and media lines described it as a miscalculated public-relations gamble, noting that appearing with the Queen blurred the line between private loyalty and public responsibility. Many royal watchers worried that the moment reignited anger at a time when the palace was already fighting reputational damage from scandals and internal conflict. Even supporters of the monarchy expressed confusion and disappointment, questioning why Andrew of all people was selected to escort the Queen on such a high-profile occasion. For many, the incident accelerated the belief that the royal family was out of touch with public sentiment and willing to risk further backlash to protect its own.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Matthew 15:29-37 At that time: Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, went up on the mountain, and sat down there. Great crowds came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute, and many others. They placed them at his feet, and he cured them. The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the deformed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind able to see, and they glorified the God of Israel. Jesus summoned his disciples and said, "My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, for they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, for fear they may collapse on the way." The disciples said to him, "Where could we ever get enough bread in this deserted place to satisfy such a crowd?" Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" "Seven," they replied, "and a few fish." He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied. They picked up the fragments left over–seven baskets full. Reflection It would be impossible to separate the healing power of Jesus from his ministry. It had to be the most amazing experience to see so many people healed, one after another, after another. And they realized that what this is trying to teach them is that there's a way in which we must understand God's presence in our life. He's not here to tell us what to become or to do. He's here to enable us. Gift us. Feed us with whatever we need to find fullness in this world that God has shared with us. It's an amazing gift and it's important that we remember it. Keep it foremost in our mind. Everything we do is through the gift of God's presence in us. Closing Prayer Father, you have revealed to all of us through your son the deep longing you have for our wholeness. Bless us with an awakening of this gift and help us to rely upon it always. It is not something we can work for, it is something we can only humbly receive. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The world has lost one of the all-time greats. Rich was one of the kindest and most inspiring people I've ever known. He lived in perpetual creative expression and encouraged everyone he met to do the same, both with his words and through constant demonstration. In addition to his continual art-making(no matter the time or place or circumstances), his curation of countless shows supporting other artists, his love of music(making, listening, sharing), and a host of other great qualities, his very essence carried a creative element that you couldn't help but be moved by. It was always a joy to talk to Rich, and he had a way of leaving you feeling better than you had before, about yourself, the world, and life in general. A truly special being with an enormous capacity for love and light. I feel honored to have known him, and his impact will be everlasting. With love and gratitude, JW The above conversation took place at his home in Oakland, CA, in March of 2018. © 2025 Justin White All rights reserved
When news broke that Prince Andrew would not only attend Prince Philip's memorial service in March 2022, but would also accompany Queen Elizabeth II publicly and be photographed at her side, the reaction was immediate and intense. It marked his first high-visibility appearance since stepping back from royal duties and losing his honorary military titles amid the fallout from sexual-abuse allegations and his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. For many observers, the palace decision signaled an attempt to rehabilitate Andrew's public image, using the solemnity and sympathy attached to Philip's memorial to soften outrage. The optics were unmistakable: the Queen arriving arm-in-arm with Andrew sent a powerful message that she still supported him personally, even as the public and institutions distanced themselves.The backlash was swift. Critics argued that the move undermined the monarchy's credibility and disrespected survivors who had spent years demanding accountability. Commentators across political and media lines described it as a miscalculated public-relations gamble, noting that appearing with the Queen blurred the line between private loyalty and public responsibility. Many royal watchers worried that the moment reignited anger at a time when the palace was already fighting reputational damage from scandals and internal conflict. Even supporters of the monarchy expressed confusion and disappointment, questioning why Andrew of all people was selected to escort the Queen on such a high-profile occasion.

Almost 46 years to the day that 257 people died in the Mt Erebus plane crash, a Christchurch reserve has now been chosen as the preferred location for a national memorial. The Ministry for Culture and Heritage says Cracroft Reserve in Cashmere is the best place to commemorate the disaster with its tranquil setting and panoramic views of the Southern Alps. Anna Sargent reports.
Christchurch has been revealed as the city that will be home to a national memorial to the Erebus crash victims. It comes after a wait of more than four and half decades and push back from other communties that didn't want it in their backyards. David Allan, who's parents and sister died in the Erebus crash, spoke to Lisa Owen.
Disgusted, disappointed and furious - those are words of Simone Bennett reacting to the government's announcement that the long-awaited National Erebus Memorial will be built in Christchurch. She spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
This afternoon it has been announced where the memorial to honour those killed in the Mt Erebus flight will be built. Jesse speaks to Rev Dr Richard Waugh, the instigator of the National Erebus Memorial and close friend of the families.
Not the Queen of Hearts! Greetings, England's roses, and welcome back to the People's Podcast - this week, it's the original parasocial relationship: ROYALTY. Kasia is being pursued by a stream of Lady Di-themed cursed objects, and with Dan explores the universe of royal tat, Diana standom, 90s tabloids and the media hysteria around her death and funeral, when Britain discovered EMOTIONS and behaved like honking loons. Some younger listeners may not realise that in the days before TikTok and BBC News 24, commemorative plates were the primary means of news dissemination, and mass-produced soft toys could be a profound avatar for loss. So it's a wild ride in a white Fiat Uno, discussing dark souvenirism, the anatomy of a Beanie Baby, royal grief in Harvester, the hoarding of historic newspapers, a riot in Woolworths over Candle in the Wind '97, and er ... whatever happened to jacket potatoes?

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Matthew 10:28-33 Jesus said to his Apostles: "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father.” Reflection The last line can be disturbing if not understood clearly. Jesus makes clear he has deep love and deep concern for all of us. He knows everything about us and he also has one unique quality. He honors our freedom. He refuses to make us believe in him. And what he's saying, ultimately is, if you choose not to accept me, I cannot force you to do that. And if you don't do that, I can't reach you. I can't heal you. I can't help you. Closing Prayer The love that God has for us is hard for us to grasp. It's a love that is freely offered and must be freely received. There's great sadness in Jesus when he says the last line of this passage, because he knows he cannot make you do anything that you don't choose. So bless us God with a constant, consistent choice for all the gifts that you give us. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

From the publisher:"A comprehensive narrative history of Mt. Rushmore, written in light of recent political controversies, and a timely retrospective for the monument's 100th anniversary in 2025“Well, most people want to come to a national park and leave with that warm, fuzzy feeling with an ice cream cone. Rushmore can't do that if you do it the right way. If you do it the right way people are going to be leaving pissed.”Gerard Baker, the first Native American superintendent of Mt. Rushmore, shared those words with author Matthew Davis. From the tragic history of Wounded Knee and the horrors of Indian Boarding Schools, to the Land Back movement of today, Davis traces the Native American story of Mt. Rushmore alongside the narrative of the growing territory and state of South Dakota, and the economic and political forces that shaped the reasons for the Memorial's creation. A Biography of A Mountain combines history with reportage, bringing the complicated and nuanced story of Mt. Rushmore to life, from the land's origins as sacred tribal ground; to the expansion of the American West; to the larger-than-life personality of Gutzon Borglum, the artist who carved the presidential faces into the mountain; and up to the politicized present-day conflict over the site and its future. Exploring issues related to how we memorialize American history, Davis tells an imperative story for our time."Matthew Davis' website can be found here: https://www.matthewdaviswriter.comInformation on his book can be found here: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250285102/abiographyofamountain/AxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Luke 21:1-4 When Jesus looked up he saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins. He said, "I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.” Reflection What's the difference in this passage between wealthy people and a poor widow? And why is the poor widow's gift so rich? It's simply because the rich do not understand their need for God. They don't understand that the very thing they are is always because of God's care, God's love. That disposition of a heart when it generously gives to others, is a much greater gift. Closing Prayer Father, fill us with your richness. Fill us with your gifts. We are not enough. We know our need for you, and when you are within us, we are in such a better place to offer who you are to the people around them. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Luke 20:27-40 Some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, came forward and put this question to Jesus, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If someone's brother dies leaving a wife but no child, his brother must take the wife and raise up descendants for his brother. Now there were seven brothers; the first married a woman but died childless. Then the second and the third married her, and likewise all the seven died childless. Finally the woman also died. Now at the resurrection whose wife will that woman be? For all seven had been married to her." Jesus said to them, "The children of this age marry and remarry; but those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age and to the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. They can no longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the children of God because they are the ones who will rise. That the dead will rise even Moses made known in the passage about the bush, when he called 'Lord' the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive." Some of the scribes said in reply, "Teacher, you have answered well." And they no longer dared to ask him anything. Reflection One of the things that Jesus brought into consciousness in his story as it unfolds in the New Testament, is how we have to go beyond the logical, beyond the ordinary, enter the world of mysticism and mystery. And in this particular passage, it seems to me that the Sadducees are using their minds, and Jesus inviting people to live not so much in your mind, but in a heart relationship with God, an intimacy with him. Where the promise is, nothing will harm you and you will always live. Nothing can destroy you. Closing Prayer Father, bless us with the confidence that comes from knowing who you really are. Help us not to ever doubt that your plan for us is that we grow, we evolve, we become more who we are and we ultimately live with you forever. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Luke 19:45-48 Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out those who were selling things, saying to them, “It is written, My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.” And every day he was teaching in the temple area. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile, were seeking to put him to death, but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose because all the people were hanging on his words. Reflection Jesus is pointing out a weakness that all institutions have. The reason the temple was established, so that people could find God and be bathed in his care and his love. And instead those who led that temple turned it into a place where people were used and abused. What a beautiful image of the way in which we need to always be careful and attentive to whether or not an institution is there in service, or whether it is in the service of themselves. Closing Prayer Corruption is something that is part of life, and it is something that we must always be conscious of and father, we ask you to bless us with an awareness when we see it, not to condemn it, but to somehow not engage in it. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Friends of the Rosary,Today, November 21, the Church of Christ celebrates the Memorial of the Presentation of Mary.On September 8, we celebrated the Birthday of Our Lady, and on September 12, the Holy Name.With the Presentation of Mary in the Temple, we complete this Marian cycle, which is parallel with the first three feasts of our Lord in the liturgical calendar: the birth of Christ or Christmas (December 25), the Holy Name of Jesus (January 3), and His Presentation in the Temple (February 2).The historical background of the Presentation of Mary is found in the Protoevangel of St. James (ch. 4:1ff).After an angel had revealed her pregnancy, Anna vowed her future child, Mary, to the Lord. At the age of three, Mary was transferred to the temple, and here, she received her nourishment from the hand of an angel.On this feast day, we meditate on the mystery of Mary's temporary dwelling in the sanctuary of the Old Covenant as a preparation for the approaching season of Advent.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
