He's our third Brazilian Cardinal, but he won't be our last, in fact one of his cousins is fellow Brazilian Cardinal Paulo Evaristo Arns.   Leonardo joined the Franciscans in 1972 at the age of 21, making his solemn profession in ‘76. In a pattern we've seen before, he studied philosophy and theology in Brazil, then went to Rome for more advanced studies, obtaining a licentiate and then a doctorate from the Antonianum. I don't know if I've emphasized the Franciscan affiliation of the Antonianum before, but it's certainly there–the Anthony it's named after is the Franciscan Anthony of Padua, after all.   When Leonardo was ordained in 1978, it was carried out by his Cardinal-cousin I mentioned earlier, fellow Franciscan and then-Archbishop of São Paulo Cardinal Arns. He did pastoral work for a while, then he served as a formator at, uh, a seminary. From 1986 till 1995 Father Steiner was Master of Novices at, *a* seminary, presumably the same one, though that's not especially clear. The third source I checked for this particular detail described the posts he took up at the Antonianum in Rome in 1995 as the result of a transfer between institutions, so it I guess can rule that out as our mystery institution. While at the Antonianum, he served as a secretary–I expect the high level kind–and as a professor of Philosophy. He was in Rome for several years before moving back to southern Brazil in 2003.   Back home, he served both as a pastor and lecturer, this time at the Bom Jesus Faculty of Philosophy, “bom” meaning "good” or I would perhaps suggest “sweet Jesus” as the more familiar English phrase with a close meaning.   In 2005, Father Steiner's white phone rang and he learned he was being made Bishop-Prelate of São Félix. His episcopal consecration was carried out by none other than his longserving cousin, Cardinal Arns, who had been fully retired for years by that point, but apparently didn't mind making it a family affair. By the way, the voice on the other end of that white phone must have been fairly shaky, because Pope John Paul II died in the few months between the appointment and Bishop Steiner's actual consecration.   Oh, also, did you catch that Prelate part of “Bishop-Prelate”? You see, São Félix was not and actually still is not a full-on diocese, rather it's at an intermediate sort of state called a “Territorial Prelature”. To give you an idea of why it's in an unusual state canonically, let me give you some stats. São Félix covers an area larger than England, with a total population of a bit under 200,000. At the time of his consecration, Bishop-Prelate Steiner had about ten priests to work with to address the spiritual needs of about 130,000 Catholics.   The relatively sparse population is due to São Félix being on the edge of the Amazon Rainforest. This was not Bishop-Prelate Steiner's last contact with Amazonia. In May 2011 he became secretary general of the Brazilian Episcopal Conference, a post he held for the next eight years, and later on in 2011 Bishop-Prelate Steiner was appointed as an auxiliary bishop of the capitol, Brasília, working alongside Cardinal da Rocha, who we discussed in fall 2023.   In 2017 Pope Francis announced the Synod on the Amazon, something which Bishop Steiner had apparently personally handed Pope Francis a document requesting on behalf of the Brazilian bishops. The Synod was duely held in 2019, and had a special focus on the indigenous peoples of the area, who, to quote Pope Francis, are “often forgotten and without the prospect of a serene future”. Another substantial issue is the ecology of the matter, with Pope Francis being known as an environmentalist before and certainly no less so after his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si, which called out the Amazon specifically as in need of special care.   Bishop Steiner notably did *not* participate in the synod. I was fully expecting to say he had, and maybe I missed something, but the list of hundreds of official participants is linked in the show notes, and he's not on it. In reality his delivery of the bishop's request for the Synod was probably due to his formal role in the overall Bishop's conference and not due to his own connection to the region, which at this point was minor.   However, despite that narratively inconvenient historical fact, later that year Bishop Steiner did become a full-on Amazonian bishop, being appointed the Archbishop of Manaus in the rather pointedly named Brazilian state of Amazonas. There he got to experience the staffing and geographic issues he had seen in his Bishop-Prelate days on a larger scale: there's a reason the Amazon Synod discussed things like allowing for married priests to help with the shortages, something which was much discussed in media coverage but was in truth only a minor topic in the Synod itself.   One real fruit of the Amazon Synod was the establishment of the Ecclesiastical Conference of the Amazon. Adding yet another organizational wrinkle to the megacluster of organizational wrinkles that is the Catholic Church, an *Ecclesiastical* Conference functions like a Bishop's Conference, but is not limited to Bishops. In 2022, Archbishop Steiner became its First Vice-President. In yet another example of the organizational wrinkling I just joked about, I don't mean he's the first person to hold that office, instead, “First Vice-President” is his actual title, as the Ecclesiastical Conference actually has multiple Vice-President roles.   I've been fairly brief and matter-of-fact in my descriptions here, so I want to end on a more human note, as there is real struggle in Amazonia. So let's hear from another Vice-President of the Ecclesiastical Conference, Sister Manso Pereira.   A descendent of the Kariri Brazilian tribal group, Sister Manso Pereira recently related a conversation she had with the Karipuna people about the danger  they face from armed groups of illegal logging and mining companies. Quote:    “We sleep well when you are here, because you're with us.' I said, ‘Why? If they come for you to kill you, they're going to kill me, too.' And they said, ‘We know if you went missing, the church would come looking for you. They would know you were gone.'”   In 2022, Pope Francis made Archbishop Steiner the first Cardinal from the Amazon region, also adding him to the Dicastery for the Institutes of Consecrated Life and the Societies of Apostolic Life.   Leonardo Ulrich STEINER  is eligible to participate in future conclaves until he turns 80 in 2030.   Today's episode is part of Cardinal Numbers. Stay tuned to see if today's Cardinal gets selected  for a deeper dive in the next round! Thank you for listening; God bless you all!

In this weekend review of The Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, and Katie Young break down the biggest moments from a thrilling few days of racing. L'Eau du Sud has surged to second favouritism for the Arkle following victory in the Kingmaker Novices' Chase. Are Dan Skelton's Cheltenham chances looking stronger than ever, or are there concerns for his stable stars? We also react to the news that ante-post favourite Sir Gino is out for the season. Could Only By Night emerge as a player in the Arkle after her win in the Agatha Christie Mares' Novices' Chase, or will she face limits in the Mares Chase as Katie predicts? Meanwhile, Gordon Elliott dominated at Navan with a 1-2-3 finish in the Grade 2 Novice Hurdle, but which of his runners looks like the top Cheltenham contender? Elsewhere, Joyeuse's victory brought Nicky Henderson his seventh Newbury Handicap Hurdle win and another winner for the podcast, but with Cheltenham ruled out due to new BHA regulations, will she become a Champion Hurdle star like her famous relative, Epatante? Plus, we review 20/1 shot Royale Margaux's victory and Djelo's Denman Chase win. What do their performances mean for the Ryanair Chase picture? We also have a 10/1 Cheltenham bet and discuss a potential contender for the Champion Bumper. The Final Furlong Podcast is proudly brought to you by Geoff Banks Bet.

I really enjoyed the conversation lead by Brian Coords on the topic of version control for WordPress developers and builders.He was joined by my recurring cohost, Mark Szymanski, as he asked the tough questions many beginners might be facing in their early development days. Yes, that's the same Mark that cohosted the episode of Crossroads of WordPress with me last week on the WP Minute+.This post isn't just about the advantages of using version control on your next WordPress project, but more of an example of how great the WordPress community is.Mark and I have talked about building and learning in public before, and that's exactly what Brian's livestream was. A veteran WordPress developer, sharing his experience and teaching someone coming up in web agency world.It's fascinating watching Mark learn in public. I applaud him for having the humility to put himself out there in an effort to become a better agency owner.Earlier in the year I predicted that we'd see more Mark's coming on to the scene.Tools like Elementor and Bricks have onboarded more enterprising individuals over the last few years to kickstart their own web services business. Most of them, like Mark, never had to crack open a code editor or SSH into a server and reboot the MySQL service when it ran out of memory.Being able to rapidly build websites with a turnkey plugin can be a blessing and a curse. The theme of Brian's livestream was partly to highlight some of the weak links in the chain when delivering client websites. Certainly “version control” isn't the answer to everything, but it's a trait that you'll see in more mature projects.So when do you actually invest in “version control?” It depends, and it might not be how and when you think.If we put the technical term aside for a moment: Let's think accountability instead. Explore what your client relationship looks like. How much are they paying you, how mission-critical is the website, and who is on the hook for support?Themes, plugins, tutorials, free code snippets, all at our fingertips. It's easy to pull something off the shelf and shove it into WordPress as a solution for clients. No one is the wiser. Until that off the shelf thing breaks, lacks a feature, or gets abandoned.Say you delivered a $25k project to a client, but you built the entire thing on Cwicly, then it closed. Now what? Or you were using SearchWP on bunch of non-profit sites, then it was acquired by Awesome Motive and the license fee doubled — with lots more upsells to other products. Now what?Now let's talk communication: Novices might not mention they are using a page builder when they are quoting a client. “My God, what happens if they find out I paid $59 for a plugin that they could use themselves to build this site?!” I sympathize with that imposter syndrome, years ago I felt the same way.Flip the script!Instead you communicate in full transparency with the customer “Hey, based on your budget, I'll have to build this site with a page builder tool. It gets us 90% of the way there faster and cheaper, but also has some limitations. You'll save some money on the services side, but you'll have to purchase a license in order for us to use on it on your site. If we had a bigger budget or more time, we could get exactly what you want with a custom theme.”It's Spring in the US so I'll use this other analogy with my desire to erect a shed in my yard: Do I build it myself? Nope. Do I buy a prebuilt one from Home Depot, and worry about the quality versus cost spent? Or do I hire a builder, knowing it will last longer, be exactly what I want, but cost 3x more?Open communication will always work best with clients, especially when you want to set clear boundaries of accountability.There's always a balance. Obviously, version control isn't the answer to this, but it is part of an overall solution where more mature agencies will measure the risk when putting a project brief together.Is this a mission-critical feature? Does the client have the budget? Can we build this? Do we want to build this?Even if you don't register for your first Github account after listening to Brian's livestream, the message that there's a whole new layer above basic page builder services — the concept of building for continuity, therefore increasing project deal size — is why this is a standout episode.Catch the VOD replay and start leveling up, WordPress builder! ★ Support this podcast ★

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Palinka Perfection: A Cultural Soiree at Bartal Castle Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/palinka-perfection-a-cultural-soiree-at-bartal-castle Story Transcript:Hu: Budapest, a Dunának otthont adó város, a híres fürdőinek és a gyönyörű építészetének köszönhetően turisták ezreinek utazási célpontja. Ennek a csodálatos városnak az egyik esti szegletében, az Andrássy úton, Ádám, Eszter és Bence egy elegáns esküvői helyszínen találták magukat.En: Budapest, a city situated along the Danube, is a travel destination for thousands of tourists due to its famous baths and beautiful architecture. In one corner of this wonderful city, on Andrássy Avenue, Adam, Eszter, and Bence found themselves at an elegant wedding venue one evening.Hu: Az este gyöngéden borult a városra, a korai nyári nap sugarai halkan visszavonultak a nyugodt Duna mögé. Bartal Kastély; olyan, mint a mesékből, a hely, ahol legjobb barátjuk, Péter díszes sokadalomra hívta őket. A helyszín bámulatos volt, a vörös kárpit nagyvonalúan terült el a kastély előtt, tele volt dekadenciával és otthonos melegséggel.En: The evening gently fell over the city, as the early summer sun quietly retreated behind the calm Danube. Bartal Castle, like something out of a fairy tale, was the place where their best friend Peter had invited them for a grand celebration. The venue was stunning, with red carpets elegantly laid out in front of the castle, exuding decadence and a cozy warmth.Hu: Ádám, Eszter és Bence, mint mottoimigránsok, nem voltak tisztában a magyar hagyományokkal. Nimfák a magyar kultúrában, főként a pálinka szokásos protokolljában, amelynek eleganciája és szertartásai messze voltak a hétköznapi borozás utáni pukkantástól, ahogy ők ismerték.En: Adam, Eszter, and Bence, as expats, were not familiar with Hungarian traditions. Novices in Hungarian culture, especially in the customary ritual of pálinka, whose elegance and ceremonies were far from the casual clinking of glasses they knew.Hu: "A pálinka nem csak ital, ez egy érzés..." – hallotta Ádámot a fülében szólalni meg a menyasszony nagybátyjától. A csészében pihent a pálinka, mintha a lelke lenne a magyar kultúrának. A müzli bolondos, páratlan frissesség öntötte el a levegőt. Ádám úgy érezte, hogy neki és barátainak meg kell tanulnia az elegáns pálinka kézről kézre adásának szabályait.En: "Pálinka is not just a drink, it's a feeling..." Adam heard the bride's uncle whisper in his ear. The pálinka rested in the glass, as if it were the soul of Hungarian culture. The playful, unparalleled freshness of müzli filled the air. Adam felt that he and his friends needed to learn the rules of elegantly passing pálinka from hand to hand.Hu: Eszter, aki egyértelműen élvezte az új tapasztalatokat, felszedte biflázási bizalmát és elkezdett beszélni az emberekkel a kastélyban. Nyelvi nehézségei voltak, de hihetetlen optimizmusa meggyőzte a kastély padlóján álló összes vendéget, hogy máris közelebb került a közeledő kulturális beavatáshoz.En: Eszter, clearly enjoying the new experiences, gained confidence in mingling and started conversations with people in the castle. Despite her language difficulties, her incredible optimism convinced all the guests standing on the castle floor that they were already closer to the approaching cultural initiation.Hu: Bence és közben a barokk berendezésű szalonban barátkozott és viccelődött a gyerekekkel, akik olyan tiszteletteljesen bámultak rá, mintha a náluknál magasabb trón örököse lenne.En: Meanwhile, Bence socialized and joked with the children in the baroque-style salon, who looked at him with such reverence as if he were the heir to a higher throne than theirs.Hu: Szövevényesen nyújtózó est, a pálinka tüzének és a barátok nevetése között tekintete a herceg fele fordult, amint megkonferálta a szertartás végső protokollját. Az este, mely aznap kezdődött, leegyszerűsítve az összes kulturális struktúra részletéig, természetesen mégiscsak egy baráti találkozóval fejeződött be, ahol a magyar pálinkát a történet hősei becsülettel toastolták, miközben a kastély erkélyén üldögéltek.En: As the evening wove itself intricately between the warmth of pálinka and friends' laughter, his gaze turned towards the prince, as he conducted the final protocol of the ceremony. The evening, which had started earlier that day, simplifying every detail of cultural structure, ultimately ended with a friendly gathering where the heroes of the story toasted the Hungarian pálinka with honor as they sat on the castle balcony.Hu: A pandúr felé fordulva, Bence felemelte poharát és annyit mondott, amit legjobban megjegyzett az est során: "Egészségedre!" Ez volt az intenzív pillanat, amikor olyan bámulatosan összetettnek tűnt a pálinka etikett, ami valójában már csak egyszerű művészet volt.En: Turning towards the pandúr, Bence raised his glass and said the most memorable words of the evening: "Cheers!" It was the intense moment where the intricacies of pálinka etiquette seemed so beautifully composed, yet was in reality just a simple art form.Hu: A nap végén az egyetlen dolog, amit megtanultak, az volt, hogy a pálinka hagyomány nem csak az italról szól, hanem arról is, hogy egy pillanat alatt és együtt mindenki matinéba kerül, családdá válik.En: At the end of the day, the only thing they had learned was that the pálinka tradition was not just about the drink, but also about a moment where everyone instantly becomes family together.

"After some time, one of the sisters came into the cell and found me almost dead. She was frightened and went to find the Directress of Novices," St. Faustina writes. Listen in as Fr. Joseph Roesch, MIC, reads from this modern spiritual classic.
