Voted one of the seven modern wonders of the world, Rome's Colosseum is an instantly recognizable building. Constructed by Emperor Flavian in the first century AD as a gift to his people, and still standing almost two millennia later, it has a rich and fascinating history. Films such as Gladiator and Spartacus popularize its reputation as home to brutal gladiator battles, but what is the real story behind the Colosseum? How did one emperor's dream become a reality? Why was the arena abandoned for centuries? And what makes it so iconic in the 21st Century? From Noiser, this is a Short History Of The Colosseum. Written by Nicole Edmunds.

"The Coliseum" is a poem by Edgar Allan Poe that explores the historical and metaphorical significance of Rome's Colosseum. It serves as a meditation on the grandeur and decay of empires, the passage of time, and the inevitable fall of all that is considered great. The Colosseum, once a symbol of Rome's might, is portrayed as a ruin that still holds a haunting beauty. This arena, once filled with the roars of crowds and the clash of gladiatorial combat, now stands as a testament to human ambition and the ephemeral nature of glory. The poem can be seen as a reflection on mortality, societal values, and the transient nature of human achievements.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5744894/advertisement

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Second Week of Easter Lectionary: 267The Saint of the day is Saint Benedict Joseph LabreSaint Benedict Joseph Labre's Story Benedict Joseph Labre was truly eccentric, one of God's special little ones. Born in France and the eldest of 18 children, he studied under his uncle, a parish priest. Because of poor health and a lack of suitable academic preparation he was unsuccessful in his attempts to enter the religious life. Then, at age 16, a profound change took place. Benedict lost his desire to study and gave up all thoughts of the priesthood, much to the consternation of his relatives. He became a pilgrim, traveling from one great shrine to another, living off alms. He wore the rags of a beggar and shared his food with the poor. Filled with the love of God and neighbor, Benedict had special devotion to the Blessed Mother and to the Blessed Sacrament. In Rome, where he lived in the Colosseum for a time, he was called “the poor man of the Forty Hours devotion” and “the beggar of Rome.” The people accepted his ragged appearance better than he did. His excuse to himself was that “our comfort is not in this world.” On April 16, 1783, the last day of his life, Benedict dragged himself to a church in Rome and prayed there for two hours before he collapsed, dying peacefully in a nearby house. Immediately after his death, the people proclaimed him a saint. Benedict Joseph Labre was canonized by Pope Leo XIII in 1881. His liturgical feast is celebrated on April 16. Reflection In a modern inner city, one local character kneels for hours on the sidewalk and prays. Swathed in his entire wardrobe winter and summer, he greets passersby with a blessing. Where he sleeps no one knows, but he is surely a direct spiritual descendant of Benedict, the ragged man who slept in the ruins of Rome's Colosseum. These days we ascribe such behavior to mental illness; Benedict's contemporaries called him holy. Holiness is always a bit mad by earthly standards.

Pope Francis convenes the International Meeting of Prayer for Peace at Rome's Colosseum, a new hyper-realistic exhibition reveals the person wrapped in the Shroud of Turin, and a visit to the Purgatory Museum in Rome.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - The Vatican confirmed Tuesday that Pope Francis will join other religious leaders at a prayer service for peace at Rome's Colosseum later this month. The Oct. 25 prayer meeting is part of a three-day interreligious summit called “The Cry for Peace,” organized by the Community of Sant'Egidio. Sant'Egidio has held an international conference on the subject of peace every year since 1986, when Pope John Paul II convened the first World Day of Prayer for Peace in Assisi, Italy. The conference's final event will be the interreligious prayer service from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Colosseum. The famous monument is believed by some historians to be a site of early Christian martyrdom. Representatives of the world's major religions will take part in the prayer service and conference. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252516/pope-francis-to-join-interfaith-prayer-for-peace-at-colosseum-in-rome The Diocese of Arlington, Virgina's former director for the Office of Child Protection, Father Terry Specht, was found not guilty October 5 of aggravated sexual battery. Specht was indicted in December 2021 on two charges related to child sexual abuse. One of those charges was dropped during court proceedings. “While Father Specht was found not guilty, I nevertheless convey my heartfelt and sincere sorrow to anyone who has suffered sexual abuse,” Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Diocese of Arlington said. The Diocese of Arlington said that it has a “zero-tolerance policy” for abuse. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252513/former-arlington-director-of-child-protection-office-acquitted-on-sexual-battery-charge Today the Church celebrates Saint John the 23rd, who was pope from 1958 to 1963. Sixty years ago today, John the 23rd convoked the Second Vatican Council, opening the council on October 11, 1962. Pope John's spirit of humble simplicity, profound goodness, and deep life of prayer radiated in all that he did, and inspired people to affectionately call him “Good Pope John.” He was canonized by Pope Francis in Saint Peter's Square on April 27, 2014, alongside the man who beatified him, Pope Saint John Paul II. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/pope-saint-john-xxiii-390

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - The Vatican adapted Pope Francis' Way of the Cross on Good Friday after an outcry in Ukraine over a Station involving Ukrainian and Russian families. The meditation for the 13th Station, “Jesus dies on the Cross,” was written by members of a Ukrainian and a Russian family. During the event, that meditation was not read out. The Way of the Cross was held at Rome's Colosseum on April 15. The original plan for the Via Crucis was strongly criticized by Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, who described it as “untimely, incoherent, and offensive.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/250997/vatican-adapts-via-crucis-after-outcry-in-ukraine In his Urbi et Orbi blessing on Easter 2022, Pope Francis lamented an “Easter of War” as he prayed for peace in Ukraine and around the world. Pope Francis gave the traditional Urbi et Orbi blessing following Easter Sunday Mass in St. Peter's Square. Local authorities estimate that 100,000 people were present at the Vatican and in the surrounding area for the blessing. In addition to Ukraine, Pope Francis named Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and South Africa as three countries in particular need of prayers due to violence, and humanitarian and environmental crises. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251004/urbi-et-orbi-2022-pope-francis-laments-easter-of-war-in-ukraine-and-world Today the Church celebrates Blessed Marie-Anne Blondin, a Canadian woman who founded the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Anne. Though she was the founder and superior, Sister Marie-Anne faced much oppression from the congregation's chaplain, who eventually had her removed from her position, and she was prohibited from holding any administrative roles for the rest of her life. She spent her last 32 years without complaining, working in the order's laundry and ironing room. Despite her demotion, her order continued to grow and spread across Canada and the United States. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/blessed-marie-anne-blondin-440

Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk said: “I consider such an idea untimely, ambiguous, and such that it does not take into account the context of Russia's military aggression against Ukraine.” Shevchuk said he had “received many appeals from the faithful of the Church and civil society, both from Ukraine and abroad,” asking him “to convey to the Holy See the great indignation and rejection of this plan by Ukrainians around the world.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/250955/an-untimely-idea-ukrainian-catholic-leader-concerned-by-format-of-pope-s-good-friday-via-crucis Today the Church celebrates Pope Saint Martin the first, who ​​suffered exile and humiliation for his defense of orthodoxy in a dispute over the relationship between Christ's human and divine natures. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-martin-i-435

People seem surprised and rejoiced that Kamala Harris had full official powers for a period of time. Which is odd, cause Biden is so damn old, but the real question is, how the hell is this his first check-up!?! It looks like Activision Blizzard is the latest business to have its entitled staff try and demand the CEO to quit. Most people have snuck somewhere they're not meant to be, but it hasn't hit your pocket as badly as a couple of US tourists who thought going into Rome's Colosseum at 04:00 am was a solid idea. Fighting racism is great, but it seems odd to have Sesame Street introduced a new Korean-American Muppet, when (A) can one puppet really represent both Asian and Pacific Islanders. (B) you'd never know it was meant to be an Asian puppet, AND (C) ALL the puppets on the damn street are weird colours, which is the whole damn point!!! He went missing in the summer of 1975, but the FBI think they may have a lead on where Jimmy Hoffa is buried, after a deathbed confession....which happened over a year ago. Which, I don't know, seems a little off!?!, Hear these and so much more in this week's #EFTV PLUS, we head back to Apple TV+ to witness the machinations & fall of an Empire, and potential rise of a new civilization, if Jared Harris, Lou Llobell & Leah Harvey can come up with the maths!

The Legacy of the Roman ColosseumGuest: Nathan T. Elkins, Associate Professor of Art History at Baylor University, Director of the Allbritton Art Institute, and author of "A Monument to Dynasty and Death: The Story of Rome's Colosseum and the Emperors Who Built It"Think of it as the original amusement park. Gladiators, wild animals, and naval reenactments (How did they do that? Boats in a stadium?): entertainment accessible to the masses and enjoyed by elites as well. It was meant to be a truly democratic edifice. Hadrian's WallGuest: David Potter, Francis W. Kelsey Collegiate Professor of Greek and Roman History and Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Department of Classical Studies at the University of MichiganHadrian's wall, over 70 miles long and stretching throughout Britain, marked the edge of the Roman empire. It also marked an ideological shift, abandoning the idea of “anyone can be a Roman” to a much more exclusionary view of Romans v. outsiders. The wall itself was an impressive feat of engineering and prowess, but did this physical and societal barrier lead to the downfall of an empire?
