Romans Series: In Romans 15:14–33, Paul expresses his confidence in the Roman believers' maturity and goodness, affirming their ability to instruct one another. He explains that his bold writing was to remind them of his special calling to minister to the Gentiles as a priestly service to God. Paul speaks of his ministry accomplishments and desire to preach where Christ is not yet known, avoiding building on another's foundation. He shares his travel plans, hoping to visit Rome on his way to Spain, and asks for their support. Before that, however, he must deliver financial aid from Gentile churches to the poor believers in Jerusalem, seeking their prayers for protection and a successful journey.

On this nostalgic episode from our archives, Tiffany regales Katy with the details of a recent trip to the cradle of the Renaissance, including specific stops she made to research her latest book, a YA historical fiction thriller set in Florence in 1600. Also, we talk about how memory-provoking it can be to travel to a place that you haven't been in over a decade, but that you have a few extremely strong impressions of from past trips. Tiffany takes a jaunt down memory lane to her very first trip to Florence when she was 14, when she explored the city through the lens of her obsession with E. M. Forster's A Room with a View. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

But also, while Rome was a Christian city by now—it had been for decades—the Visigoths were Christian too.  And they weren't recent converts, either. They had all been Christian for over 160 years. Theirs was the earliest conversion of a Germanic people in recorded history. And their Christianity was different than the state religion of Rome. How did that happen, and why?

As a father of four, author, and the creator of The Good Mood Revolution podcast, Matt shares actionable insights into how happiness isn't just a fleeting feeling, but a skill that can be built—even in the chaos of daily life with ADHD.

You're praying, working, helping others, checking the boxes—doing good things.But deep down… it still feels like it's never enough.Because the world (and sometimes even your own heart) keeps whispering, “Do more.”But what if rest isn't weakness? What if leisure is holy?In this episode, we talk about what Pope Leo XIV just reminded the world when he left Rome for his summer retreat house—a powerful and much-needed witness that even the Pope needs time to step back. We unpack the Catholic understanding of leisure, why it matters, and how rest is a form of trust in God, not laziness.This episode is your permission slip to slow down—and your challenge to see rest as worship.

This episode Dr. Jenkins looks into the events and movements in the Latin world that lay the foundation for the claims of the late-medieval Roman popes, and how the two questions of the filioque and the powers of the pope became intertwined.

In het Internationaal Strafhof worden personen die verdacht worden van de meest ernstigste misdaden tegen de internationale gemeenschap, berecht. En dat Strafhof stond vandaag, in 1998, in de kinderschoenen door de ondertekening van het Statuut van Rome. Maar wat is de positie van het Internationaal Strafhof anno 2025?  Vandaag is 27 jaar geleden dat het statuur van Rome ondertekent, wat de basis legde voor het Internationale Strafhof wat we vandaag de dag kennen. En in die 27 jaar is er nogal wat veranderd op het wereldtoneel. Hoe kan het internationale strafhof relevant blijven, wat zijn hierin de grootste obstakels en welke zaken vinden op dit moment plaats in Den Haag?  Jan praat erover met Geert-Jan Knoops! Hij is bijzonder hoogleraar politiek van het internationaal recht aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam, advocaat - mede voor zaken bij dat internationaal strafhof, en recent schreef hij het boek: als de rechtstaat faalt. 

The Daily Philip is a devotion of prayer to the Patron Saint of Joy, St. Philip Neri, led by Fr. Malone, parochial vicar of Christ the Redeemer Parish in Swift Current. This devotion has four parts: (1) a daily prayer for a particular virtue, based on the day of the week, to which Pope Pius IX has attached an indulgence (dated May 17, 1852,); (2) a reading from The Life of St. Philip Neri, Apostle of Rome; (3) a quote from The Maxims and Counsels of St. Philip Neri; and (4) the daily prayer for a good death.    For Thursday Prayer to obtain the Love of our Neighbour. Glorious Saint, who didst employ thyself wholly in the good of thy neighbour, thinking well of all, sympathising with all, helping all, who throughout thy whole life didst ever try to secure the salvation of all, never shrinking from labour or trouble, keeping for thyself no time or comfort, that thou mightest win all hearts to God; pray for me, that together with the pardon of my sins I may have charity for my neighbour, and be henceforth more compassionate to him in his necessities, and obtain for me grace that I may love every man with pure, unselfish love, as mine own brother, succouring each one, if I am unable to do it with temporal goods, at least with prayers and good advice. And teach me too on every occasion to defend the honour of my neighbour, and never to say to him a hurtful or displeasing word; but ever to maintain, even with my enemies, sweetness of spirit like thine own, whereby thou didst triumph over thy persecutors.  Blessed Saint, ask of God for me also this lovely virtue, which already thou hast gained for so many of thy clients; that so we may all one day come to praise our God with thee in an eternity of bliss. Our Father…, Hail Mary…, Glory Be…   Prayer to be said daily, for a good death. O glorious Saint Philip, faithful helper of thy dying children, be thou my father and protector in the hour of my death. Let not the devil overcome me; let not temptation oppress me, nor fear overwhelm me in that hour; but grant through thy intercession that, fortified by faith, hope, and charity, I may bear all things with patience and perseverance, and may happily die the death of the just. Amen.

Titus (2 minuten) Evenals Timoteüs was Titus een trouwe medewerker van Paulus. Hij reisde mee met de apostel tijdens zijn tweede en derde zendingsreis en voerde regelmatig opdrachten voor hem uit. Eén van die opdrachten was het leiden van de kerk op het Griekse Kreta. Dit eiland ligt in de Middellandse zee en was vanwege al het scheepverkeer een zeer strategische plek voor het verspreiden van het evangelie. Als mensen hier tot geloof kwamen en later verder trokken of terugkeerden naar hun eigen land namen ze het goede nieuws met zich mee. Kreta was ook een uitdagende plek om te werken. Geweld en seksuele losbandigheid waren aan de orde van de dag. Inwoners van Kreta stonden bekend om hun leugenachtige gedrag en hun hebzucht. Veel mannen waren huursoldaten. Corrupte mensen met negatieve invloed Titus moet het zwaar hebben gehad. Waarschijnlijk stuurde hij Paulus een verslag van hoe het ging. Paulus was net vrijgesproken in Rome en had zijn werk als zendeling weer hervat. Hij bevond zich waarschijnlijk in Korinte of Nicopolis en schreef zijn brief aan Titus ergens tussen de jaren 62 en 64. Het doel was om zijn assistent moed in te spreken en oplossingen aan te reiken. We weten niet precies wat er aan de hand was, maar het lijkt erop dat een corrupte groep mensen een negatieve invloed had op de kerk. ‘Vervang deze leiders door mensen met een onberispelijk gedrag', geeft Paulus mee aan Titus. Paulus zoekt hier geen mensen met een brandschoon verleden. Alleen Jezus is altijd zonder zonde geweest. Maar hij wil alleen leiders hebben wiens levens radicaal zijn veranderd door het evangelie. Het leiden van Gods gemeente is als het runnen van een huishouden. Wie trouw is aan zijn vrouw, zijn kinderen opvoedt in het geloof, niet teveel drinkt, niet gewelddadig en niet hebzuchtig is, die is geschikt om een kerkleider te zijn. Hieruit blijkt namelijk zijn toewijding voor Jezus. Veel van deze foute leiders blijken Joodse gelovigen te zijn. Zij dringen er bij de niet-Joden op aan dat ze zich laten besnijden en ook de andere wetten uit het Oude Testament volgen. ‘Alleen dan kun je bij Jezus horen', zeggen ze. Titus moet hen de mond snoeren. Ook omdat ze vooral op winst uit zijn. Leef met de liefde als fundament Titus krijgt de instructie om de christenen te onderwijzen welke levensstijl gepast is. Leef sober en integer met de liefde als fundament. Doe het kwade niet, maar doe het goede. Richt je op God, niet op wereldlijke verlangens. Dat is waar het op neerkomt. De beloning komt: op een dag komt Jezus terug, de Messias die ons heeft vrijgekocht door Zijn eigen leven te geven. Waarom deze focus op hoe we moeten leven? In Paulus' brieven maar ook in alle andere Bijbelboeken zien we dat God wil dat wij anders zijn. In Gods koninkrijk zijn de waarden en normen anders dan in de wereld. De christenen op Kreta moeten door hun levensstijl laten zien wie Christus is. De vrede, rust en zekerheid die zij ervaren, moet de niet-gelovigen jaloers maken. In Paulus' woorden: ‘Gods genade is openbaar geworden tot redding van alle mensen. Ze leert ons dat we goddeloze en wereldse begeerten moeten afwijzen en bezonnen, rechtvaardig en vroom in deze wereld moeten leven, in afwachting van het geluk waarop wij hopen: de verschijning van de majesteit van de grote God en van onze redder Jezus Christus.' - Titus 2:11-13 Filemon (2 minuten) Filemon was een rijke man uit de stad Kolosse. Hij had een grote huis waar de christenen regelmatig samenkwamen voor Bijbelstudie en gebed. Hij is waarschijnlijk tot geloof gekomen in de tijd dat Paulus in Efeze werkte en raakte bevriend met de apostel. Als rijke man bezat Filemon ook slaven. Dat is op het eerste gezicht best gek. Hoe kan een christen een ander mens onderdrukken? Dat mag natuurlijk niet. Laten we daarom naar de context kijken. In het Romeinse rijk bestond ongeveer 1/3 van de bevolking uit slaven. Zij waren handelswaar. Je kon ze bezitten en verkopen. Een slaaf kon zichzelf ook vrij kopen. Vanaf het jaar 20 na Christus hadden slaven in het Romeinse rijk bovendien recht op een rechtszaak als hun onrecht werd aangedaan. Sommige slaven hadden een goede meester en raakten er zelfs mee bevriend, terwijl anderen om het minste of geringste werden mishandeld. Waar draait het christendom om? Waarom veroordeelt de Bijbel slavernij niet? Stel dat Jezus en later Petrus, Paulus en de anderen hier een belangrijk punt van zouden hebben gemaakt, dan waren er slavenopstanden gekomen die de Romeinen bloedig zouden neerslaan. Het christendom zou dan draaien om sociale kwesties als vrijheid, gelijkheid en aards geluk. Die kwesties zijn belangrijk, maar niet het belangrijkste. Zoals we hebben gezien gaat het in het koninkrijk van God in de kern om het herstel van onze relatie met God. Deze relatie werd gebroken in de Hof van Eden door Adam en Eva. Jezus heeft dit weer gerepareerd en dat moet de wereld weten. De Bijbel laat zien dat één van de manieren om het evangelie te verspreiden, is door anders met je slaven om te gaan. Zij mogen niet worden onderdrukt, maar moeten als gelijken worden behandeld. Belangrijker nog: als broeders en zusters in Christus. Op hun beurt mogen slaven niet opeens neerkijken op hun ‘eigenaren'. Integendeel. Zij moeten hen met nog meer passie dienen, omdat ze dezelfde meester hebben: Jezus Christus. Die gelijkheid in Christus tussen meester en slaaf, is waar Paulus' brief aan Filemon over gaat. Filemon had namelijk een slaaf die was weggelopen. Deze slaaf heet Onesimus. Zijn naam betekent ‘Nuttig' en die naam kwam veel voor onder slaven. Waarschijnlijk heeft Onesimus iets van Filemon gestolen en is hij toen gevlucht naar Rome. Daar woonde een groot aantal slaven zonder eigenaar. Op de één of andere manier is hij met Paulus in contact gekomen. In zijn brief noemt Paulus hem ‘mijn kind'. Hij heeft hem dus tot geloof in Jezus geleid. Paulus bevindt zich op het moment van schrijven onder huisarrest en Onesimus was erg nuttig voor hem. Toch wist Paulus dat Filemon en Onesimus hun conflict moesten bijleggen. Hoe kunnen twee christenen zo in onmin met elkaar leven? Daarom stuurt Paulus Onesimus terug naar Kolosse, samen met Tychikus, die ook de brief aan de Kolossenzen meeneemt. In zijn brief aan Filemon doet Paulus een klemmend beroep op Filemon om Onesimus niet te straffen, maar hem terug aan te nemen. Niet als een slaaf, maar als een broeder. Paulus zegt: ‘Voor mij is hij dat al, hoeveel te meer moet hij het dus voor u zijn, zowel in het dagelijks leven als in het geloof in de Heer. Dus, als u met mij verbonden bent, ontvang hem dan zoals u mij zou ontvangen. En mocht hij u hebben benadeeld of u iets schuldig zijn, breng het mij dan in rekening. Ik, Paulus, schrijf hier eigenhandig neer dat ik u zal betalen. Ik ga er dan maar aan voorbij dat u mij uw eigen leven schuldig bent.' - Filemon 1:16-19 Paulus laat hier zien wat het betekent om een volgeling van Jezus te zijn. Hij weet dat Filemon bij hem in het krijt staat, maar hij scheldt die schuld kwijt. En als Filemon vindt dat Onesimus hem nog iets schuldig is, dan wil Paulus dit wel betalen. Paulus heeft alles over voor het evangelie en hoop dat dit ook geldt voor zijn geestelijke kinderen, Filemon en Onesimus.

Send us a textActs 18:1-6After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them, and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks.When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”Support the show

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, the book of Acts, or The Acts of the Apostles, shows us the life and ministry of the apostles of Jesus Christ from the gospels, including one who is “born out of due time”, the apostle Paul. But before he was an apostle of the Lord, Saul was a fearsome type of Antichrist, and we will look at that as well. Think you're called to the ministry? You better think again, the book of Acts shows you what the ministry is, and you may not like it much. Join us as we study the entire book of the Acts of the Apostles, verse by verse and chapter by chapter.TONIGHT'S STUDY: Paul concludes his witness, testimony and personal work with King Agrippa before heading out in his ‘last lap' to Rome where he will stand before Nero. But before Paul gets to Italy to ‘wrap things up', he must first suffer shipwreck where ‘two seas meet' which turns out to be a beautiful type picture of New Testament salvation. He will find himself on the island of Melita where he will exercise the apostolic gifts for perhaps the last time.

Welcome to a Brain Wrinkling Wednesday with Fr. Tom Koys.  Today Father Koys briefly chats about his ideas upon his return from his trip to Medjugorje and Rome.  He contemplates his feelings around being in St. Peters Square, thinking back to a time he had a meeting in Rome many years ago, his visit during the service of Pope John Paul II and now with his most recent visit as he waited to see Pope Leo go by in the Pope mobile recognizing the difference in his level of enthusiasm during each of those times.  He then turns his focus to the need for Rules and ends with his conversation, if he had the ear of the Pope and the President.

Discussion Highlights:Building Schengen: Origins in the Coal and Steel Community (1952), the Treaty of Rome (1958), and the Schengen Agreement (1995), creating 16,000 km of invisible internal borders through a single market and shared enforcement mechanisms.Asylum strains: Germany and Austria have received over half of all EU asylum seekers during the Syrian and Ukrainian crises, revealing the breakdown of the Dublin allocation rules under free movement.Humanitarian crisis at the external border: Approximately 30,000 people have died attempting Mediterranean crossings in the last decade, underscoring the need to address smuggler-driven journeys.EU–Turkey precedent: The 2016 agreement cut irregular crossings from about 1 million to 30,000 and deaths from 1,100 to 80 within a year, demonstrating the efficacy of safe-third-country arrangements.Safe-third-country proposals: Knaus calls for similar pacts with West African states to deter Canary Islands crossings, coupled with procedural guarantees under international law.Regular migration frameworks: Expansion of refugee resettlement and labour migration via planned pathways—in the style of Canada or Australia—to meet workforce needs and reduce reliance on smugglers.European deterrence: With U.S. reliability in doubt, Europe must bolster its own deterrent capacity—including possibilities such as a German nuclear option—and integrate frontline democracies.EU enlargement: A clear, merit-based accession roadmap for Ukraine, Moldova, and Western Balkan candidates is essential to reinforce democracy, security, and prosperity.Engaging the next generation: Francesca Knaus highlights a gap in how Europe's peace “miracle,” the lived threat of modern warfare, and climate urgency are communicated to younger Europeans.About Gerald KnausGerald Knaus is an Austrian social scientist and co-founder and chairman of the European Stability Initiative (ESI), which he helped establish in Sarajevo in June 1999.

The Daily Philip is a devotion of prayer to the Patron Saint of Joy, St. Philip Neri, led by Fr. Malone, parochial vicar of Christ the Redeemer Parish in Swift Current. This devotion has four parts: (1) a daily prayer for a particular virtue, based on the day of the week, to which Pope Pius IX has attached an indulgence (dated May 17, 1852,); (2) a reading from The Life of St. Philip Neri, Apostle of Rome; (3) a quote from The Maxims and Counsels of St. Philip Neri; and (4) the daily prayer for a good death.    For Wednesday Prayer to obtain the Love of God. St. Philip, I am filled with wonder at the great miracle which was wrought in thee by the Holy Spirit when He poured into thy heart such a flood of heavenly charity, that in order to contain it two of thy ribs were broken by the power of Divine love; and I am confounded when I compare thy heart with mine own.  I see thy heart all burning with love; and mine, all frozen and taken up with creatures.  I see thine inflamed with a fire from heaven, which so filled thy body that it radiated like flames from thy countenance; while mine is full of earthly love.  I love the world, which allures me and can never make me happy; I love the flesh, which ever wears me with its cares, and can never render me immortal; I love riches, which I can enjoy but for a moment.  O when shall I learn of thee to love nothing but God, my incomprehensible and only Good!  Help me, then, blessed Patron, that by thy intercession I may begin at once: obtain for me an efficacious love, manifesting itself by works; a pure love, making me love God most perfectly; a strong love, enabling me to surmount all obstacles hindering my union with God in life, that so I may be wholly united to Him for ever after my death. Our Father…, Hail Mary…, Glory Be…   Prayer to be said daily, for a good death. O glorious Saint Philip, faithful helper of thy dying children, be thou my father and protector in the hour of my death. Let not the devil overcome me; let not temptation oppress me, nor fear overwhelm me in that hour; but grant through thy intercession that, fortified by faith, hope, and charity, I may bear all things with patience and perseverance, and may happily die the death of the just. Amen.

Et si les histoires d'amour les plus anciennes étaient aussi les plus folles ? Cet été, À la folie, pas du tout explore les liaisons mythologiques, de la Grèce antique à Rome, entre dieux capricieux, mortels éperdus et destins brisés. Ces récits fondateurs révèlent des passions brûlantes, parfois cruelles, souvent dérangeantes. À écouter au soleil… ou à l'ombre des tragédies. Le mythe d'Isis et Osiris est un des récits les plus importants de l'Egypte Ancienne. Pendant plus de trois millénaires, le culte Osirien a perduré, jusqu'à la conquête de l'Egypte par l'Empire Romain et l'avènement du christianisme. Cette histoire incroyable nous parvient des hiéroglyphes des pyramides et de quelques auteurs grecs, comme Plutarque dans son traité Sur Isis et Osiris. C'est une histoire qui a plusieurs versions, nous avons choisi de vous raconter la plus répandue, mais libre à vous d'aller chercher l'interprétation du mythe qui vous plaira le plus.

It's been said that Muriel Spark's career was not so much a life as a plot, and she did indeed repeatedly reinvent herself, closing one chapter of her life and opening another, regardless of how many friends and business associates she abandoned along the way. This month the Slightly Foxed team were joined by Muriel Spark's biographer Martin Stannard, and Spark enthusiast Emily Rhodes of Emily's Walking Book Club, to discuss the work of this highly original and somewhat forgotten writer and learn how Muriel first invited Martin to write her biography and then did her best to prevent it seeing the light of day. Born in 1918, Muriel grew up in a working class family in Edinburgh – the setting for her most famous novel The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, which was based on a charismatic teacher at her own school. At the age of 19 she closed that chapter of her life by marrying an older maths teacher, Sydney Oswald Spark, known (appropriately) thereafter as SOS, and going with him to Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) where their son Robin was born. Unfortunately it soon became obvious that Sydney had severe psychiatric problems and in 1943 Muriel left husband and son and returned to London where she began her career as a novelist. Several times shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and much admired by Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene, Muriel produced 22 novels, most of them drawing on events in her own life. Everyone at the Slightly Foxed table had their favourites, including The Girls of Slender Means, A Far Cry from Kensington, Loitering with Intent, and Memento Mori, a clear eyed and also very funny look at old age. Everyone agreed on the brilliance of her writing with its dark humour, preoccupation with the supernatural and with the presence of evil in unlikely places. Her life was equally fascinating, moving from poverty to great wealth and success, and from the shabbier parts of London to intellectual life in New York centred on The New Yorker magazine, to which she became a contributor. In 1954 she was received into the Roman Catholic church and for some time she lived in Rome, relishing the glitter of Italian high society, finally settling in Tuscany with her friend Penelope Jardine, where she died in 2005. Summer reading recommendations included Caledonian Road by Andrew O'Hagan, Death at the Sign of the Rook by Kate Atkinson, Homework by Geoff Dyer and Of Thorn and Briar by Paul Lamb. Martin also praised Electric Spark, the new – and very different – biography of Muriel Spark by Frances Wilson. For episode show notes, please see the Slightly Foxed website.

Before the Greeks and Romans, the Celts ruled the ancient world. They sacked Rome, invaded Greece, and conquered much of Europe, from Ireland to Turkey. Celts registered deeply on the classical imagination for a thousand years and were variously described by writers like Caesar and Livy as unruly barbarians, fearless warriors, and gracious hosts. But then, in the early Middle Ages, they vanished. In The Celts, Ian Stewart tells the story of their rediscovery during the Renaissance and their transformation over the next few centuries into one of the most popular European ancestral peoples.The Celts shows how the idea of this ancient people was recovered by scholars, honed by intellectuals, politicians, and other thinkers of various stripes, and adopted by cultural revivalists and activists as they tried to build European nations and nationalisms during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Long-forgotten, the Celts improbably came to be seen as the ancestors of most western Europeans—and as a pillar of modern national identity in Britain, Ireland, and France.Based on new research conducted across Europe and in the United States, The Celts reveals when and how we came to call much of Europe “Celtic,” why this idea mattered in the past, and why it still matters today, as the tide of nationalism is once again on the rise. Ian Stewart is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales in Paris. His work has focused particularly on ideas of language, nation, and race in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Britain, Ireland, and Europe. He has also written at length on the late Scottish Enlightenment and is the co-editor of Adam Ferguson's Later Writings: New Letters and an Essay on the French Revolution (Edinburgh University Press, 2023).

Joep van Lieshout is beeldend kunstenaar. Hij maakt objecten die zich bevinden op de grens tussen beeldende en toegepaste kunst en werd bekend door zijn ontwerpen van tafels, stoelen, keuken- en toiletblokken van polyester. In 1992 won hij de Prix de Rome en in 1995 richtte hij zijn eigen studio ‘Atelier van Lieshout' (AVL) op. Samen met een team creëert hij sindsdien objecten die grenzen verleggen en architectuur, kunst en design samenbrengen. Beroemd zijn bijvoorbeeld zijn ‘mobile homes', verplaatsbare wooneenheden, of het aanhangwagentje dat hij in opdracht van de SP maakte, in de vorm van een enorme vleestomaat. Recenter presenteerde AVL ‘The Voyage', een monumentale processie van meer dan honderd objecten, machines en beelden. Het werk symboliseert de eeuwige menselijke obsessie met vooruitgang. Lotje IJzermans gaat met Joep van Lieshout in gesprek.

Nathan and Ryan dive into the gritty, violent world of Italian giallo-poliziotteschi hybrids with What Have They Done to Your Daughters? (1974). As a spiritual sequel to What Have You Done to Solange?, this grim entry shifts gears from mystery to procedural, blending slasher aesthetics with police thriller intensity. The hosts dissect the film's stark portrayal of institutional failure, its exploitation undertones, and director Massimo Dallamano's tense, stylish direction. Is this a hidden gem of 1970s Euro-crime cinema, or just another sleazy entry in the giallo canon? Time to hit the neon-lit streets of Rome and find out.

Vorige week belde Bram Endedijk met correspondent Ine Roox die in Rome woont. Ze vertelde hoe in Italie de grote gevolgen van klimaatverandering voelbaar zijn. Maar toch, merken we op de redactie van NRC Vandaag, gaat het in het maatschappelijke debat vooral over Trump, Gaza en de oorlog in Europa. Met chef opinie Wouter van Noort buigen we ons over de vraag: hoe kan het dat het gesprek over klimaatverandering naar de achtergrond lijkt te verdwijnen?Correctie (15-7-2025): In een eerdere versie van deze podcast wordt gezegd dat de Partij voor de Dieren voor de NAVO-norm van 5 procent van het BBP is. Dat klopt niet. De partij is wel voor meer uitgaven aan defensie maar ze legt zich niet vast op die norm. Dat is aangepast.

“Italy, Gentlemen, wants peace, wants quiet, wants work, wants calm; we will give it with love, if that be possible, or with strength, if that be necessary.” This is the story of Italy's Benito Mussolini's creation of fascism and rise to power in interwar Italy. Benito starts life the way his father intended—as a socialist—and the often moving, young schoolteacher quickly emerges as a leading voice in the movement as he's entrusted to serve as the editor of one of the party's most important newspapers. But the Great War changes that. Benito supports it, the party doesn't, and by the conflict's end, the returned soldier has a new idea—one that takes him across the political spectrum, all the way from the Marxist left to the nationalist far-right—a violent, war-glorifying, anti-democratic, one-party, dictatorial version of nationalism. He calls it “fascism.”  Benito speaks of order. Economic prosperity. National pride. Some see his black-clad fighting squads, known as “Blackshirts,” as their saviors from the far-left's communism, so feared in the wake of the recent Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Indeed, many Italians welcome his march on Rome and his growing powers as Prime Minister, and celebrate his foreign policy achievements, including a reconciliation between Italy and the Vatican.  But as Benito kills Italy's constitutional monarchy in all but name as he turns into a dictator, conquers Ethiopia, ignores the League of Nations, and bonds with Germany's rising dictator Adolf Hitler, former allies are growing concerned. Some fear his anti-democratic path will also embolden Germany. As W.E.B. Du Bois questions: “If Italy takes her pound of flesh by force, does anyone suppose that Germany will not make a similar attempt?” Only time will tell.

Skip the Mona Lisa when you visit Paris. Don't tour the Coliseum in Rome. Walk, don't hurry. Chris Arnade speaks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about a different way to travel. Listen as Arnade shares what he learned from Istanbul's small community mosques and how Avignon's Congolese-neighborhood cathedrals provided moving moments of spirituality. He also explains why Japan and Vietnam's emphasis on community lends itself to more happiness than America's "me-focused" approach, and what gear he carries--and leaves behind--for his extremely long walks through the world. Finally, he offers suggestions for choosing places to eat on the road that can elevate meals into meaningful experiences. This is a thoughtful conversational journey about veering off the beaten path to find home in surprising places.

Raphael was one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance. Known for his soft, balanced style and graceful figures, he created famous works like The School of Athens and beautiful portraits of the Madonna. Working in Rome, he became a favorite of popes and helped design parts of the Vatican. This episode looks at his short but brilliant life and the art that still inspires people today.

Dana talks about the surprising realization she came to when confronted with this practical question, as her priorities shifted away from adventure and novelty, and toward the places and people she already knows and loves. ***To help Katy's sister Dana with the staggering medical costs of her stage 4 agressive brain cancer—her specialist is outside her insurance network—as well of the costs of temporarily relocating to San Francsico for her treatments, please consider donating to her GoFundMe. Anything you can contribute will be extremely helpful. Thank you.*** ------------------------------------- COME TO ROME WITH US: For the third year in a row, we are hosting an intimate group of listeners for a magical and unforgettable week in Rome, this October 2025!
