Dr. Paul Giesting and Bill Schmitt welcome listeners back for new episodes of our “legacy” podcast, “That's So Second Millennium.” See below for biographies. Check out our archived episodes: That's So Second Millennium Here's a chronological list of popes. For context in this episode, start with Pope Leo XIII (#256) and look through the 20th century for Popes Pius X, XI, and XII. (Please forgive a couple of small historical and mathematical mistakes--at one point Paul says something amounting to 5+7 make 11 or 4+7 make 12.) What's in a name? Paul has developed a sports-inspired bracket for papal names and their likelihood, with 64 possibilities. We'll digitize it and post it in connection with the next episode. Papal tiara logo borrowed from The Mad Monarchist. Pope Leo XIV conforms with Paul's bracket prediction of the “top seed”: With the passing of Pope Francis, Leo was the most likely name to be chosen. Scholars have called the 1660-1836 period as “the long 18th century” in English literature. They point to a “long 19th century” between 1750 and 1914. Here's one take on why Cardinal Robert Prevost chose Leo as his papal name. Leo is now the fourth-most common papal name in history along with Clement. The only more popular names are John, Benedict, and Gregory. Would you like to read the book—Their Name is Pius—that Paul read in his youth? Amazon says it doesn't come cheap. You can also read Eamon Duffy's The Stripping of the Altars. Pope Leo XIV has called for a new Rerum Novarum, according to the Aleteia news site. Here's the bio of St. Francis Xavier, missionary and one of the original seven Jesuits. Yes, there was a Pope Lando, reigning in the years 913-914. Pope Julius I, a canonized saint, reigned in 337-352.

When product marketing meets real customer conversations, the story shifts. Blythe Morrow, a seasoned product marketing leader and consultant, has seen this firsthand. She dives into the tough work of translating complex technology into messages that speak to every buyer at the table. For Blythe, “It's important to start with the ending in mind. Where does the customer want to end up?” That focus drives how she approaches strategy, alignment, and market research. On Supercharge Marketing with Pius, Blythe unpacks the messiness behind messaging and sales alignment. She shares why product marketers must leave their desks, join sales calls, and lead small workshops. By building ecosystems of real users, Blythe shapes content and campaigns that match how people actually buy and use software. She credits tight relationships with product and sales as key, even when incentives and priorities clash. Blythe also explains how the rise of AI and changes in search are reshaping how marketers reach their audience. She talks through tactics for small teams to stretch their reach across more channels, and why clear, current messaging guides matter more than ever. Listen to learn how to bridge the gap between product, sales, and the market. You'll hear practical lessons on community-building, campaign strategy, and the new rules for B2B content in a shifting tech landscape.

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Luke 8:19-21 The mother of Jesus and his brothers came to him but were unable to join him because of the crowd. He was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside and they wish to see you." He said to them in reply, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it." Reflection There are two passages in Scripture that make this particular passage make sense. They both state that the family of Jesus thought he was crazy. The words they use is he was outside of himself. And so it's clear that Jesus is saying here that his work is not to be arguing with people about whether or not he is who he says he is. He's looking for people wide open to the most amazing signs and wonders that he's performing. They are his calling card. They are what makes him so unique. And those in his family, worried probably about their reputation, just was very closed to who he really was. Closing Prayer Father, bless us with an awareness of how easy it is for us to write off this marvelous plan that you have for each of us. It's mysterious, it's miraculous and powerful. So focus us always on what Jesus came to teach. His power flowing through us, doing wonders. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Friends of the Rosary,Today, September 23, the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Pius of Pietrelcina (1887-1968), known as Padre Pio, a saint of the last century.Born Francesco, to poor farm workers in the small village of Pietrelcina, Italy, he joined the Capuchin Friars at the age of sixteen and was ordained a priest at the age of 22.For fifty years, at the monastery of San Giovanni Rotundo, he was a highly sought-after spiritual advisor, confessor, and intercessor, whose life was devoted to the Eucharist and prayer.While praying before a cross on September 20, 1918, Padre Pio received the stigmata, the wounds of Christ. He was the first priest ever to be so blessed.His fame spread widely, and with this came suspicion, false accusations, and repeated investigation by the Holy Office.He was reportedly able to bi-locate, levitate, read the consciences, and heal by touch.Yet despite his notoriety, he would often say, "I only want to be a poor friar who prays."Today, there are over 400,000 members worldwide in prayer groups begun by Padre Pio in the 1920s.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!

Lingthusiasm - A podcast that's enthusiastic about linguistics
Linguistic research has its highs and lows: from staging a traditional wedding to learn about ceremonial words to having your efforts to found a village school disrupted by civil war. Linguistic research can also be about highs and lows: in this case, looking at how high and low tones in Babanki words affect their meaning. In this episode, your host Lauren Gawne gets enthusiastic about the highs and lows of fieldwork in Babanki with Dr. Pius Akumbu, who's a linguist from Babanki, Cameroon, and a Director of Research in African Linguistics at CNRS in the LLACAN Lab (the Languages and Cultures of Africa Lab) in Paris, France. We talk about Professor Akumbu's documentation work on a wide variety of topics from the relationship of Babanki to other Grassfields and Bantu languages, what happens when words have a mysterious extra tone that is only produced under the right circumstances (floating tones), to that time he staged a false wedding to document traditional wedding ceremonial language – and led to a real couple opting for a traditional-style wedding of their own. We also talk about the process of founding a school in his home village to ensure that children have access to primary education in their own language.

In this month's bonus episode we get enthusiastic about the joys and challenges of translating internet slang with Miguel Sánchez Ibáñez, linguist and translator of Because Internet into Spanish! We talk about why Because Internet was the toughest and also most entertaining book he's ever translated (for some of the same reasons), from coming up with localized Spanish versions of vintage internet memes to making the silly names of pretend people in the example sentences just as silly in Spanish. We also talk about leaving breadcrumbs for future translators in the original text and the special challenge of translocalizing the title: Arroba Lengua isn't a literal translation of Because Internet, but it fits similarly into Spanish internet slang.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Pius X, Pope Lectionary: 422The Saint of the day is Saint Pius XSaint Pius X's Story Pope Pius X is perhaps best remembered for his encouragement of the frequent reception of Holy Communion, especially by children. The second of 10 children in a poor Italian family, Joseph Sarto became Pius X at age 68. He was one of the 20th century's greatest popes. Ever mindful of his humble origin, Pope Pius stated, “I was born poor, I lived poor, I will die poor.” He was embarrassed by some of the pomp of the papal court. “Look how they have dressed me up,” he said in tears to an old friend. To another, “It is a penance to be forced to accept all these practices. They lead me around surrounded by soldiers like Jesus when he was seized in Gethsemani.” Interested in politics, Pope Pius encouraged Italian Catholics to become more politically involved. One of his first papal acts was to end the supposed right of governments to interfere by veto in papal elections—a practice that reduced the freedom of the 1903 conclave which had elected him. In 1905, when France renounced its agreement with the Holy See and threatened confiscation of Church property if governmental control of Church affairs were not granted, Pius X courageously rejected the demand. While he did not author a famous social encyclical as his predecessor had done, he denounced the ill treatment of indigenous peoples on the plantations of Peru, sent a relief commission to Messina after an earthquake, and sheltered refugees at his own expense. On the 11th anniversary of his election as pope, Europe was plunged into World War I. Pius had foreseen it, but it killed him. “This is the last affliction the Lord will visit on me. I would gladly give my life to save my poor children from this ghastly scourge.” He died a few weeks after the war began, and was canonized in 1954. Reflection His humble background was no obstacle in relating to a personal God and to people whom he loved genuinely. Pius X gained his strength, his gentleness and warmth for people from the source of all gifts, the Spirit of Jesus. In contrast, we often feel embarrassed by our backgrounds. Shame makes us prefer to remain aloof from people whom we perceive as superior. If we are in a superior position, on the other hand, we often ignore simpler people. Yet we, too, have to help “restore all things in Christ,” especially the wounded people of God. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
