Pat Leahy and Harry McGee join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics: · Fox News and its standard of journalism were highlighted during an episode of The Will Cain Show this week that featured media commentator and author Douglas Murray talking about open borders migration. During the segment Murray claimed Dublin had gone from being one of the safest cities in Europe to one of its most dangerous. His basis for this was a survey conducted by the Online Betting Guide (OLBG) entitled European Nightlife Index Casinos. In it, Dublin was ranked ninth in Europe with Birmingham, Naples and Paris placed among the most dangerous cities. · A group of 16 members of the House of Representatives have sought to exert pressure on Ireland's Government by writing to US treasury secretary Scott Bessent to request he consider adding Ireland to a list of countries boycotting Israel if the proposed Occupied Territories Bill is passed. · Billionaire businessman Dermot Desmond feels Artificial Intelligence will make Dublin's planned MetroLink obsolete and has urged the Government to shelve the €10 billion project. · And Independent ministers are not happy with the current rules around inheritance tax. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Diarmaid Ferriter and Stephen Collins on the legacy of Daniel O'Connell, Cliff Taylor on how Ireland's economy still remains suspended between Boston and Berlin, and Sonia Harris Pope on Jewish identity in Ireland at the moment.

The Secular Enlightenment by Professor Margaret C. Jacob, has been called a major new history on how the Enlightenment transformed people's everyday lives. It's a panoramic account of the radical ways that life began to change for ordinary people in the age of Locke, Voltaire, and Rousseau. In this landmark book, familiar Enlightenment figures share places with voices that have remained largely unheard until now, from freethinkers and freemasons to French materialists, anticlerical Catholics, pantheists, pornographers, readers, and travelers. Jacob, one of our most esteemed historians of the Enlightenment, reveals how this newly secular outlook was not a wholesale rejection of Christianity but rather a new mental space in which to encounter the world on its own terms. She takes readers from London and Amsterdam to Berlin, Vienna, Paris, and Naples, drawing on rare archival materials to show how ideas central to the emergence of secular democracy touched all facets of daily life. Human frailties once attributed to sin were now viewed through the lens of the newly conceived social sciences. People entered churches not to pray but to admire the architecture, and some began to spend their Sunday mornings reading a newspaper or even a risqué book. The secular-minded pursued their own temporal and commercial well-being without concern for the life hereafter, regarding their successes as the rewards for their actions and their failures as the result of blind economic forces. A wonderful work of intellectual and cultural history, The Secular Enlightenment demonstrates how secular values and pursuits took hold of eighteenth-century Europe, spilled into the American colonies, and left their lasting imprint on the Western world for generations to come. Margaret Jacob is Distinguished Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her many books include The Radical Enlightenment: Pantheists, Freemasons, and Republicans and The First Knowledge Economy: Human Capital and the European Economy, 1750-1850.

Notre périple se poursuit en Italie, et plus précisément à Naples avec Émilie Gerardi. La simplicité d'une tomate-mozza ou d'un pizza margherita, voilà, ce qu'Émilie a préféré dans son voyage. Découvrir l'Italie, la vraie, aussi. Les spritzs au soleil en fin de journée et les incroyables glaces pour se rafraîchir dans la journée.Les spécialités culinaires à NaplesOutre les pizzas napolitaines, les tomates-mozza et basilic, les glaces et les tiramisu, Emilie a découvert les sfogliatella, des petits gâteaux en forme de cône, préparés avec de la pâte feuilletée et fourrés de ricotta, parfumée à la vanille ou à la cannelle, et d'écorces d'orange (ou autres fruits confits). Et cette jolie forme lui a ensuite inspiré la création d'une galette il y a quelques années !Au menu de cet épisode
Full Text of ReadingsThursday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 410The Saint of the day is Saint CajetanSaint Cajetan’s Story Like most of us, Cajetan seemed headed for an “ordinary” life—first as a lawyer, then as a priest engaged in the work of the Roman Curia. His life took a characteristic turn when he joined the Oratory of Divine Love in Rome, a group devoted to piety and charity, shortly after his ordination at 36. When he was 42 he founded a hospital for incurables at Venice. At Vicenza, he joined a “disreputable” religious community that consisted only of men of the lowest stations of life—and was roundly censured by his friends, who thought his action was a reflection on his family. He sought out the sick and poor of the town and served them. The greatest need of the time was the reformation of a Church that was “sick in head and members.” Cajetan and three friends decided that the best road to reformation lay in reviving the spirit and zeal of the clergy. Together they founded a congregation known as the Theatines—from Teate [Chieti] where their first superior-bishop had his see. One of the friends later became Pope Paul IV. They managed to escape to Venice after their house in Rome was wrecked when Emperor Charles V's troops sacked Rome in 1527. The Theatines were outstanding among the Catholic reform movements that took shape before the Protestant Reformation. Cajetan founded a monte de pieta—“mountain or fund of piety”—in Naples, one of many charitable, nonprofit credit organizations that lent money on the security of pawned objects. The purpose was to help the poor and protect them against usurers. Cajetan's little organization ultimately became the Bank of Naples, with great changes in policy. Reflection If Vatican II had been summarily stopped after its first session in 1962, many Catholics would have felt that a great blow had been dealt to the growth of the Church. Cajetan had the same feeling about the Council of Trent, held from 1545 to 1563. But as he said, God is the same in Naples as in Venice, with or without Trent or Vatican II. We open ourselves to God's power in whatever circumstances we find ourselves, and God's will is done. God's standards of success differ from ours. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

In this video, Ray Higdon shares four powerful closing lines that can significantly improve your sales process. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the prospect's position and motivations, and offers practical questions to move them forward in their decision-making process. The four closing lines include: 'How long have you been wanting to change that?', 'Is that optional or something you're serious about?', 'Are you coachable?', and 'If you don't do this, how will you accomplish that?'. Ray also highlights the need to genuinely believe in your product to avoid manipulation and discusses the importance of making the pain of staying the same greater than the cost of investment. Additionally, he mentions resources like his book 'Faith-Driven Wealth' and a webinar on leveraging AI for marketing. ——

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop and Doctor of the Church Lectionary: 405The Saint of the day is Saint Alphonsus LiguoriSaint Alphonsus Liguori’s Story Moral theology, Vatican II said, should be more thoroughly nourished by Scripture, and show the nobility of the Christian vocation of the faithful and their obligation to bring forth fruit in charity for the life of the world. Alphonsus, declared patron of moral theologians by Pius XII in 1950, would rejoice in that statement. In his day, Alphonsus fought for the liberation of moral theology from the rigidity of Jansenism. His moral theology, which went through 60 editions in the century following him, concentrated on the practical and concrete problems of pastors and confessors. If a certain legalism and minimalism crept into moral theology, it should not be attributed to this model of moderation and gentleness. At the University of Naples, Alphonsus received a doctorate in both canon and civil law by acclamation, at the age of 16, but he soon gave up the practice of law for apostolic activity. He was ordained a priest, and concentrated his pastoral efforts on popular parish missions, hearing confessions, and forming Christian groups. He founded the Redemptorist congregation in 1732. It was an association of priests and brothers living a common life, dedicated to the imitation of Christ, and working mainly in popular missions for peasants in rural areas. Almost as an omen of what was to come later, he found himself deserted after a while by all his original companions except one lay brother. But the congregation managed to survive and was formally approved 17 years later, though its troubles were not over. Alphonsus' great pastoral reforms were in the pulpit and confessional—replacing the pompous oratory of the time with simplicity, and the rigorism of Jansenism with kindness. His great fame as a writer has somewhat eclipsed the fact that for 26 years he traveled up and down the Kingdom of Naples preaching popular missions. He was made bishop at age 66 after trying to reject the honor, and at once instituted a thorough reform of his diocese. His greatest sorrow came toward the end of his life. The Redemptorists, precariously continuing after the suppression of the Jesuits in 1773, had difficulty in getting their Rule approved by the Kingdom of Naples. Alphonsus acceded to the condition that they possess no property in common, but with the connivance of a high Redemptorist official, a royal official changed the Rule substantially. Alphonsus, old, crippled and with very bad sight, signed the document, unaware that he had been betrayed. The Redemptorists in the Papal States then put themselves under the pope, who withdrew those in Naples from the jurisdiction of Alphonsus. It was only after his death that the branches were united. At 71, Alphonsus was afflicted with rheumatic pains which left incurable bending of his neck. Until it was straightened a little, the pressure of his chin caused a raw wound on his chest. He suffered a final 18 months of “dark night” scruples, fears, temptations against every article of faith and every virtue, interspersed with intervals of light and relief, when ecstasies were frequent. Alphonsus is best known for his moral theology, but he also wrote well in the field of spiritual and dogmatic theology. His Glories of Mary is one of the great works on that subject, and his book Visits to the Blessed Sacrament went through 40 editions in his lifetime, greatly influencing the practice of this devotion in the Church. Reflection Saint Alphonsus was known above all as a practical man who dealt in the concrete rather than the abstract. His life is indeed a practical model for the everyday Christian who has difficulty recognizing the dignity of Christian life amid the swirl of problems, pain, misunderstanding and failure. Alphonsus suffered all these things. He is a saint because he was able to maintain an intimate sense of the presence of the suffering Christ through it all.

Send us a textFrom passing a phone around at the Naples airport to hosting 250 episodes with industry leaders, my podcasting journey represents more than content creation—it's been a masterclass in personal growth and relationship building.What began as a curious conversation with a POW veteran has evolved into a platform that connects me with remarkable minds, builds community, and provides value to listeners worldwide. Looking back at those early episodes—with terrible backgrounds and questionable audio—reminds me how far consistency can take you when you embrace imperfection.Through this five-year journey, I've distilled five transformative lessons that apply far beyond podcasting. First, discipline must override motivation; showing up consistently when no one's watching builds the foundation for everything. Second, progress always trumps perfection; perfectionism is merely fear disguised as standards. Third, accountability creates the focus and framework necessary for results—whether through team members, public commitments, or personal systems. Fourth, proximity to greatness fundamentally reshapes your understanding of what's possible; each conversation expands your vision. Finally, repetition creates results—there are no shortcuts to mastery, only consistent practice.The podcast wasn't merely about becoming a podcaster but about building something meaningful through time, connecting with exceptional people, and creating value that outlasts the recordings. These lessons weren't learned in classrooms but forged through consistent action, uncomfortable growth, and unwavering commitment.Whether you're starting your journey, navigating the middle challenges, or approaching your own milestone, remember that the process itself contains the transformation. Stay patient, disciplined, and humble—because the journey matters, the reps matter, and most importantly, you matter.

In today's episode, Matthew and Jill dive into the evolving expectations of real estate clients—where polish and presentation are valued over expertise—and how this impacts the agent-seller dynamic. The discussion shifts into a complex real-world scenario involving a property held in a trust, where communication breakdowns and misunderstandings about roles (trustee vs. beneficiary) lead to unexpected roadblocks. Why does the experience seem to matter more than the expertise in today's world? We're diving into the real reason selling a home is more complex than ever.
