Em 2026, celebram-se os 800 anos da morte de São Francisco de Assis, um dos santos mais populares da Igreja Católica, com enorme devoção mundial e no Brasil. A partir deste ano, o dia 4 de outubro volta a ser feriado nacional na Itália em homenagem ao padroeiro. Assis, sua cidade natal, se prepara para as comemorações que envolvem iniciativas culturais e turísticas em toda região da Úmbria, no centro da Itália. Gina Marques, correspondente da RFI em Roma Pela primeira vez, os restos mortais do santo serão expostos à veneração pública entre 22 de fevereiro e 22 de março, na Basílica de São Francisco em Assis. O cardeal Jaime Spengler, arcebispo de Porto Alegre, presidente da Conferência Nacional dos Bispos do Brasil (CNBB) e do Conselho Episcopal Latino-Americano (CELAM), é sobretudo franciscano. Segundo ele, São Francisco permanece vivo não só na cristandade, como pertence a toda humanidade. “São Francisco é hoje 'um arquétipo do ser humano', porque através da sua vida, do seu testemunho, ele expressou aquilo que o ser humano tem de mais genuíno. Ele trouxe de uma forma toda especial esta humanidade genuína", disse ele à RFI no Colégio Pio Brasileiro, em Roma. "É isso que faz dele esta figura extraordinária que continua sendo inspiradora para tantos.” A Úmbria de Francisco A Úmbria, conhecida com o bordão de “o coração verde da Itália”, é uma região com paisagem serena, marcada por colinas suaves, campos cultivados, oliveiras e cidadezinhas medievais. Nesse cenário está Assis, onde nasceu Francisco no ano 1182, filho de Pietro di Bernardone e de Pica de Bourlemont, uma família burguesa enriquecida pelo comércio. Batizado como Giovanni, teve o nome mudado para Francisco por seu pai. Após participar de guerras e adoecer, viveu uma experiência espiritual que o levou a abandonar a vida militar. Por volta de 1205, iniciou sua conversão marcada pelo encontro com leprosos, a renúncia aos bens, passando a dedicar-se à caridade e à renovação espiritual. Existem muitas narrativas sobre quem foi o homem Francisco antes da canonização. Ao longo dos séculos, perpetuou-se a ideia que ele foi um revolucionário social, precursor do ambientalismo, protetor dos animais, defensor dos direitos das mulheres e até pacifista visionário. Recentemente, duas obras sobre São Francisco foram lançadas na Itália. San Francesco, de Alessandro Barbero, reúne diferentes fontes históricas para revelar o homem por trás do santo, seus dilemas e as lendas que surgiram após sua canonização. Já Francesco. Il primo italiano, de Aldo Cazzullo, apresenta Francisco como figura central da identidade italiana, destacando seu papel cultural, religioso e humano, como autor do primeiro poema em italiano, o Cântico das Criaturas, além de ser o inventor do presépio. Dom Jaime Spengler destaca que o legado franciscano continua inspirando pessoas em tempos de crise ambiental e espiritual, conectando fiéis e leigos. “São Francisco de Assis deixou um legado extraordinário, tanto para o mundo da espiritualidade, como da filosofia, da teologia, da ecologia. Hoje, no contexto histórico que vivemos, certamente os elementos que mais chamam a atenção tem a ver com a causa da ecologia, de um lado, mas também com a causa da paz, de outro lado. No mundo que se esfacela, quando vivemos uma crise não só das democracias em vários espaços, a figura de Francisco continua inspiradora.” Segundo o cardeal, São Francisco inspira cada pessoa a ser um instrumento de paz e reconciliação. “Cá entre nós, como estamos necessitados hoje dessas figuras, capazes de nos inspirar não só em nível intelectual, mas sobretudo através da práxis do cotidiano. E Francisco é para nós uma figura desta magnitude”, salienta. Franciscanos na origem do Brasil Diversas cidades em vários estados do Brasil têm o nome de São Francisco: Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Pernambuco, Sergipe, Santa Catarina e Maranhão, além do icônico Rio São Francisco, o "Velho Chico". “Na origem do Brasil, está presente a família franciscana. Com a chegada dos portugueses, chegaram os primeiros frades, e os primeiros religiosos que aportaram em terras brasileiras eram franciscanos", relembra o cardeal. Dom Spengler afirma que na época do império e na passagem para a República, figuras do mundo franciscano também foram importantes na história do país. Na história recente, durante a ditadura, frades franciscanos "colaboraram de uma forma toda própria para que hoje pudéssemos ter espaços democráticos na sociedade”, ressalta, dando os exemplos de Dom Paulo Evaristo Arms, arcebispo de São Paulo, e Dom Aloísio Lorscheider, presidente da Conferência (CNBB), arcebispo de Fortaleza e em Aparecida, junto ao Santuário Nacional, "só para citar algumas expressões da nossa vida social, política e também eclesial”. Papa Francisco O jesuíta argentino Jorge Mario Bergoglio foi o primeiro papa a escolher o nome de Francisco. Logo após a sua eleição, em março de 2013, o pontífice declarou que sua escolha foi inspirada também no cardeal brasileiro Cláudio Hummes, franciscano. “Ele tinha uma amizade, uma proximidade com o então cardeal Hummes. Ele mesmo contou isso, em mais de uma situação, que logo após a escolha na Capela Sistina, o próprio cardeal Hummes teria pedido a ele para não se esquecer dos pobres.” Papa Leão XIV é um agostiniano, que promove a unidade em torno a Cristo. O pontífice americano foi eleito para unir a Igreja Católica, e aplacar algumas divisões internas. Segundo o cardeal Spengler, há grande proximidade entre franciscanos e agostinianos. “Eu creio que é o Espírito de Deus que escolhe a pessoa certa para o momento justo da história. Em segundo lugar, existe uma proximidade, por assim dizer, bastante grande entre aquilo que nós denominamos a espiritualidade agostiniana, a teologia agostiniana ou a filosofia agostiniana, e a franciscana. A espiritualidade, a teologia, a filosofia franciscana muito colheu da inspiração de Agostinho”, explica. Eventos comemorativos Além da exposição dos restos mortais em Assis, o oitavo centenário da morte de São Francisco será marcado por diversas iniciativas comemorativas. Estão previstas a publicação e catalogação de fontes franciscanas, a digitalização das antigas coleções do Sacro Convento de Assis, além de celebrações culturais e religiosas. Em Assis, os peregrinos também poderão visitar o Santuário da Spogliazione, onde São Francisco renunciou publicamente aos seus bens diante do pai. Neste local, é possível venerar o corpo de São Carlo Acutis, o santo “millennial”, canonizado pelo papa Leão XIV em 7 de setembro de 2025. A região da Úmbria programou uma série de eventos em várias cidades, propondo itinerários que o santo percorreu e que homenageiam sua identidade histórica. “O Tempo de Francisco” é o tema da XII edição do Festival Medieval de Gubbio, que acontecerá de 23 a 27 de setembro de 2026. O evento destaca a profunda ligação de Francisco com a cidade, a 50 quilômetros de Assis, onde ele encontrou acolhimento em 1206 e protagonizou o célebre episódio do lobo, símbolo da transformação do medo e da violência em diálogo, paz e fraternidade. Inspirado no lema “Homo homini lupus” (“O homem é o lobo do homem”), aforismo de Plauto imortalizado pelo filósofo do século 17 Thomas Hobbes, o festival propõe uma reflexão que conecta a Idade Média aos desafios do mundo contemporâneo, marcado por conflitos, egoísmo, desigualdades e pelo poder excessivo do dinheiro. O festival abordará a vida e a espiritualidade de São Francisco e o contexto do século 13, discutindo temas como pobreza, poder, fé, arte, política e legado espiritual. Considerado o maior evento italiano dedicado à Idade Média, o encontro reunirá cerca de 100 especialistas de diversas áreas e oferecerá ao público exposições, mercados, espetáculos, reconstituições históricas, feira do livro, encontros com autores, oficinas de caligrafia e miniatura, além de atividades educativas e culturais.

Theater im Palais: "Die Verwandlung" von Franz Kafka – Lesung von Carl Martin Spengler(Hördauer 78 Minuten)Wie verhalten sich Menschen, wenn das Unmögliche vor ihren Augen passiert? Wenn sich beispielsweise ein erfolgreicher Mann plötzlich in ein Ungeziefer verwandelt?Kafkas 1912 entstandene schaurige Erzählung beschreibt die Metamorphose des Handelsreisenden Gregor Samsa in einen Schädling. Mit unerbittlicher Plausibilität schildert der Prager Schriftsteller, der Berlin als seinen „Sehnsuchtsort“ bezeichnete, wie aus dem einstigen Ernährer der Familie ein Käfer wird, den sein Umfeld zunehmend als Belastung empfindet. Es beginnt ein Prozess der Ausgrenzung, der für Gregor Samsa fatal endet.Kafkas fesselnde Erzählung wirft hochaktuelle Themen wie Ausgrenzung, soziale Isolation und die Ablehnung von Andersartigem auf. Für eine besonders packende Atmosphäre sorgen ausgesuchte Musikstücke für Violoncello.Das THEATER IM PALAIS BERLIN unter der Leitung von Alina Gause ist ein musikalisches Salontheater, das sich im historischen Palais am Festungsgraben mitten in Berlin vor allem den Themen und Geschichten rund um die Hauptstadt widmet. Zu sehen und zu hören sind (Musik-)Theaterproduktionen, Lesungen, musikalische und literarische Programme aus eigener Produktion sowie zahlreiche Gastspiele.Wir verstehen Berlin in einem umfassenden Sinn: Als Symbol deutscher Geschichte, als Symbol der Teilung und Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands und damit auch als Ort mit Bezug zur Flüchtlingsthematik. Als Metropole mit allen Themen der Postmoderne wie Individualisierung, Globalisierung, Gender- und Beziehungsthemen aber auch Kriminalität. Und nicht zuletzt als Stadt der Kreativen! So versteht sich das THEATER IM PALAIS BERLIN auch als ein Ort des Austausches für Kreative und ihre Themen. Genreübergreifende Formate sind ein fester Bestandteil unseres Programms. Und wir sind eine Entdeckerbühne! Daher zeigen wir zahlreiche Uraufführungen und wenden uns auch der Förderung des Nachwuchses in den darstellenden Künsten zu – beispielsweise indem wir eine Kooperation mit der Hochschule für Schauspielkunst Ernst Busch pflegen.Die beliebten Reihen der BERLINER GESCHICHTEN und BERLINER PERSÖNLICHKEITEN sind das Markenzeichen unseres Hauses und widmen sich berühmten Berliner:innen, einem Stück Stadtgeschichte und Werken Berliner Autor:innen.Ein weiteres Herzensprojekt ist unsere einmal jährlich im Juni stattfindende Themenwoche HEIMAT_KUNST: Dabei präsentieren wir unseren Besuchern ein einwöchiges Programm mit Festivalcharakter rund um einen thematischen Schwerpunkt. 2025 wird unser Thema „Kriegskinder“ sein.Nicht zuletzt soll der lebendige Austausch mit Ihnen, unserem Publikum, gepflegt werden, sodass jeder Besuch im charmanten Salontheater zu einem einzigartigen Theatererlebnis für Sie wird.Wir freuen uns auf viele gemeinsame, erfüllte Theaterabende!ProgrammAnsprechpartnerinIldiko Bognar(Presse- und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, Dramaturgie)Tel.: +49 (30) 204 534 54presse-bognar@theater-im-Palais.depresse@theater-im-Palais.deWenn Ihnen diese Sendung gefallen hat, hören Sie doch auch mal hier hineinWenn Sie hören möchten, was wir als Demokratie-Radio veröffentlichen, klicken Sie HIER LESE-LEBEN

Grow My Accounting Practice | Tips for Accountants & Bookkeepers to Grow Their Business
Show Summary: In this episode, William Spengler breaks down why traditional hiring continues to fail finance leaders—and what top CFOs are demanding instead. He reveals how outdated recruiting systems lack the data integrity, accountability, and measurable ROI that finance executives rely on in every other area of business. William explains why the best CFOs don't want résumé collectors—they want strategic partners who understand business drivers and build relationships before a job search begins. William also shares how Frederick Fox's performance-first hiring model, built on flexible, commission-based partnerships, delivers precision, speed, and long-term retention. He explores how finance leaders balance cost control, culture, and urgency when filling high-impact roles, and what Frederick Fox has learned from working with more than 700 clients. The episode closes with practical lessons any firm can use to improve leadership, growth, and talent strategy beyond recruiting.

Roma İmparatorluğu'nun Gerileyiş ve Çöküş Tarihi'den (Gibbon) esinlenen genç bir yazar, daha önce kimsenin cesaret edemediği kadar büyük ölçekte bir hikaye hayal etti.

Wenn der Beruf Berufung ist: Karin Riegger und Christoph Schoop im Gespräch mit Michèle Schönbächler Christoph Schoop – Zwischen Handwerk und Zukunftsdenken Christoph Schoop ist in einem Umfeld aufgewachsen, das von unternehmerischem Pioniergeist geprägt war. Sein Vater gründete in Dättwil 1955 eine Spenglerei, welche die Spenglertechnik revolutionierte, und damit früh Zeichen in der Branche setze. Christoph Schoop trat nach seiner Ausbildung zum Spengler in den Betrieb ein und übernahm bereits in jungen Jahren die Leitung. Heute denkt er über das klassische Handwerk hinaus: Er investiert in Grundstücke und entwickelt Projekte, die auf Nachhaltigkeit und Machbarkeit ausgerichtet sind. Mit dem „Wikkelhouse“ verfolgt er ein innovatives Wohnkonzept, welches das Leben auf kleinem Raum neu interpretiert. Seine unternehmerische Haltung ist klar: wirtschaftlich denken, aber mit Augenmass – gewinnorientiert, aber nicht gewinnmaximiert um jeden Preis. Schon als Kind genoss er die Natur im Ferienhaus an der Reuss – und noch heute spielt die Natur für ihn eine wichtige Rolle – als Ort der Erholung und als Quelle für neue Ideen. ________________________________________ Karin Riegger - Neue Wege nach einem unerwarteten Umbruch Während 12 Jahren war Karin Riegger im Verkauf der Familienunternehmung Weinkeller Riegger AG tätig, betreute ihre Gastronomie-Kunden in der ganzen Schweiz und bereiste die unterschiedlichsten Weingüter. Es schien logisch, dass sie die Nachfolge ihres Onkels als Geschäftsführerin antreten würde. Die innerfamiliäre Übergabe der Unternehmung kam jedoch nicht zustande – stattdessen wurde das Familienunternehmen an einen Grosskonzern verkauft. Diese Wendung führte zu einem beruflichen Neustart. Der Bewerbungsprozess mit Mitte 40 war für die Aargauerin anspruchsvoll, aber auch eine Gelegenheit zur persönlichen Weiterentwicklung. Heute ist Karin Riegger Bereichsleiterin Bildung bei Holzbau Schweiz und bringt ihre Erfahrungen und ihr Engagement in die Branche ein. Sie lebt mit ihrem Partner und ihren drei Kindern in Mellingen/AG. In den Ferien tauscht sie regelmässig das Wohnhaus mit anderen Familien – eine Form des Reisens, die ihr neue Perspektiven und Freundschaften eröffnet hat. Besonders prägend war ein halbes Jahr in Australien, wo sie gemeinsam mit ihrer Familie lebte und täglich zur Schule ging. _________________________________________ Moderation: Michèle Schönbächler Karin Riegger und Christoph Schoop sind zu Gast im Persönlich am Sonntag, 28. September 2025 im Kurtheater Baden/AG. Türöffnung ist um 9 Uhr. Das Publikum ist gebeten, bis 9.30 Uhr einzutreffen. ___________________________________________ Das ist «Persönlich»: Jede Woche reden Menschen über ihr Leben, sprechen über ihre Wünsche, Interesse, Ansichten und Meinungen. «Persönlich» ist kein heisser Stuhl und auch keine Informationssendung, sondern ein Gespräch zur Person und über ihr Leben. Die Gäste werden eingeladen, da sie aufgrund ihrer Lebenserfahrungen etwas zu sagen haben, das über den Tag hinaus Gültigkeit hat.

Collapse of Complex Societies By: Joseph A. Tainter Published: 1988 262 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? A new (at the time) theory for the collapse of societies based on declining marginal returns to complexity. What's the author's angle? This is a book definitely written in opposition to previous theories (think Spengler, Toynbee, etc.) many of which Tainter rejects as overly moralistic. Who should read this book? If you're interested in how the United States will end (and I can't imagine how you're not) this is a great book. Specific thoughts: Okay so this is how collapse happens. Can it be stopped?

The hymn for our study this weekend was one of the first Lutheran hymns published during the Reformation in Germany. The author, Lazarus Spengler is not well known but was a contemporary of Martin Luther and a strong supporter and "co-worker" of Luther in the Reformation. He was condemned with Luther in Pope Leo X's letter of excommunication and was by Luther's side at the Diet of Worms in 1521. He was also deeply involved in the work of creating a Lutheran liturgy and hymns which were in German. This hymn beautifully describes the two major doctrines of the Bible, Law and Gospel or Sin and Grace. It is based primarily on Romans 5 which highlights the problem of the human condition, inherited from Adam, and God's solution to the problem of sin in Christ, the Second Adam. Spengler reminds us of the Biblical truth that "they have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one" (Romans 3:12) in the opening three verses and that "through one man's offense [Adam] judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation" (Romans 5:18). But Spengler also points us to God's solution and His work of service to mankind in accomplishing our salvation through Jesus. For "Christ, the second Adam, came to bear our sin and woe and shame" (verse 4). Jesus work was one of substitution: "So by one Man, who took our place, we all received the gift of grace" (verse 5). Certainly we thank Jesus for coming, not to "be served, but to serve" and to "give His life a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). Lord, bring us to a deeper appreciation of our natural condition and its consequences, and of Your service to us in Your perfect life and death as our substitute! Amen!
The 15,000-year story of how grass seduced humanity into being its unwitting labor force--and the science behind it. Domesticated crops were not human creations, and agriculture was not simply invented. As Robert N. Spengler shows, domestication was the result of an evolutionary process in which people played a role only unwittingly and as actors in a numberless cast that spanned the plant and animal kingdoms. Nature's Greatest Success: How Plants Evolved to Exploit Humanity (Univ of California Press, 2025) is the first book to bring together recent scientific discoveries and fascinating ongoing research to provide a systematic account of not only how agriculture really developed but why. Through fifteen chapters, this book dives deep into the complex processes that drove domestication and the various roles that plants and animals, including humans, played in bringing about those changes. At the intersection of popular history, archaeology, and evolutionary biology, Nature's Greatest Success offers a revolutionary account of humanity not at the apex of nature but deeply embedded in the natural world and the evolutionary processes that continue to guide it even today.

A century ago, Oswald Spengler warned that Western civilization was entering its final phase—not from war or catastrophe, but from cultural exhaustion. In The Decline of the West, he argued that every great society passes through organic stages of growth and decay—and the West, he claimed, had already entered winter. In this episode of Context, we revisit Spengler's audacious and unsettling vision. We explore the patterns he identified—technocracy, Caesarism, the erosion of civic virtue—and ask whether Spengler's predictions still hold up. Are we watching a great civilization fade… or transform? Topics include: • Spengler's life, method, and seasonal model of civilization • Parallels between ancient Rome and the modern West • Technological achievement vs. cultural vitality • Why memory and myth matter for renewal • The possibility of rebirth—and what spring might require If you value this show, please take a moment to give it a five-star rating.

Savage discusses the delicate state of Western Civilization, drawing on the predictions in Spengler's 1918 book "The Decline of the West."Savage argues that the West is no longer in the decline phase but is experiencing its death, with opposing forces represented by Donald Trump and his supporters of individualism, liberalism, and democracy, and those who despise these values. Spengler's book also touches upon the issue of Israel and Jews, with Savage highlighting the historical presence of Jews in Israel and their contributions contrasted with the lack of progress in neighboring Arab countries. Learn how the Democratic Party has transformed into a party of absolute dictatorship, with the likes of Vice President Kamala Harris and Alexandria Occasional-Cortex who desire statism and centralized power. He connects socialism to imperialism, arguing that it is not a compassionate or peaceful system, but rather one of willpower and imperialistic ambitions. He blasts Mitch McConnell for working on behalf of China's interests rather than representing Americans. He reflects on the rise of the military-industrial complex and its efforts in promoting war and conflict. Savage shares personal experiences of being denied jobs due to affirmative action policies and growing awareness of the country's transformation into a liberal dictatorship from his early days as a social worker. He warns that the establishment will continue to seize our rights. Will God save America from those who seek to take away our freedoms?
