Podcasts about statues

Depuis plus de 4 000 ans, le bronze est le métal préféré des sculpteurs. Des dieux grecs aux figures contemporaines, il traverse les siècles sans prendre une ride. Mais pourquoi ce matériau, né à l'aube de la civilisation, reste-t-il encore aujourd'hui la référence absolue de la sculpture ?Le bronze est un alliage de cuivre et d'étain. Dès l'Antiquité, les artisans ont découvert que cette combinaison produisait un métal à la fois résistant, malléable et durable. Contrairement au fer, qui rouille, ou à la pierre, qui casse, le bronze supporte le temps, les intempéries et les manipulations sans se dégrader. Il ne se fissure pas, ne se corrode que très lentement et peut même être poli pour briller comme de l'or.Mais la vraie révolution du bronze, c'est sa souplesse artistique. Lorsqu'il est chauffé, il devient liquide et peut être coulé dans des moules très précis. Cette technique, appelée “cire perdue”, consiste à sculpter d'abord le modèle en cire, à le recouvrir d'un moule en argile, puis à faire fondre la cire pour y verser le métal fondu. Résultat : le bronze reproduit fidèlement les moindres détails du modèle original — muscles, plis du tissu, expression du visage. C'est grâce à cela que les artistes de la Grèce antique ou de la Renaissance ont pu donner vie à des œuvres d'un réalisme saisissant.Le bronze possède aussi une valeur symbolique. Par sa couleur chaude et sa brillance, il évoque la noblesse, la force et la permanence. De nombreux peuples l'ont utilisé pour représenter leurs dieux, leurs héros ou leurs souverains, précisément parce qu'il résiste à l'usure du temps. Une statue en bronze, c'est un message de puissance et d'éternité.Un autre atout du bronze est sa stabilité physique : en refroidissant, il se contracte légèrement, ce qui facilite le démoulage et réduit le risque de cassure. De plus, il peut être fondu et refondu sans perdre ses qualités, permettant de corriger, réparer ou même recycler les œuvres.Aujourd'hui encore, les sculpteurs contemporains continuent de choisir ce métal millénaire, autant pour ses qualités techniques que pour son héritage artistique. Le bronze allie la solidité du métal à la finesse du geste humain — un mariage parfait entre science et art.En somme, si les statues sont souvent en bronze, c'est parce que nul autre matériau ne conjugue aussi bien beauté, précision et immortalité.

A Massachusetts mayor decided to spend $850,000 in taxpayer funds to put up Catholic saint statues outside city buildings, claiming they are "secular demigods" invoked globally by first responders. This blatant blurring of church and state lines is drawing fire from citizens who recognize that religious icons, especially those specific to Catholicism, shouldn't be bankrolled by public funds. The move highlights the constant fight against theocratic creep, where religious privilege attempts to hijack government resources and spaces in violation of constitutional religious neutrality.News Source:Catholic statues, Quincy Massachusetts religious libertyBy Brianna J.

This is the afternoon All-Local update on Thursday, Oct. 2.

Send us a textToday I welcome back my guest, Grant Young, for a conversation that couldn't be more timely—or more urgent. Together, we take a hard look at the impact of Charlie Kirk, both before and after his tragic death on a college campus, an event that has left people across the country divided, grieving, and searching for answers.Charlie Kirk rose quickly to national prominence as a central figure in America's culture wars. He brought politics into the sanctuary, blending evangelical worship with MAGA rallies and voter registration drives. His voice was amplified not only in churches and stadiums, but also in classrooms and legislatures, shaping policy and public perception. Statues in his honor now appear, intended to symbolize dialogue and civil discourse. But do they?We dig into the contradictions: the image of Kirk as a promoter of “unity” versus the inflammatory rhetoric that too often marked his public statements—about race, religion, immigration, and political opponents. Were his words an expression of truth-telling conviction, or a rejection of the very ideals of mutual respect and dialogue?Grant and I will explore what Kirk's rise—and his sudden, violent end—means for the future of faith and politics in America, and what lessons higher education, the church, and all of us might learn in this moment.SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

Oklahoma Republican Sen. Shane Jett has filed legislation to honor Charlie Kirk, the conservative Turning Point USA leader killed on Sept. 10. Proposals include designating Oct. 14 as “Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day,” requiring every state college to create a “Charlie Kirk Memorial Plaza,” and commissioning statues of Kirk and his family. Another resolution would recognize Kirk as a “martyr.” Kirk's legacy remains divisive, as he had faced criticism for past remarks about race and diversity programs.

The city of Quincy is facing a lawsuit over its plan to erect two statues in front of their new public safety building to honor first responders. The statues in question depict St. Michael and St. Florian, the patron saints of police and fire departments. A “multifaith group of Quincy residents and taxpayers” being represented by the ACLU take aim with the statues saying they violate the Massachusetts Constitution by promoting one religion over another. Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch said the selection of the statues had nothing to do with the Catholic religion, that they were chosen in “an effort to boost morale and to symbolize the values of truth, justice, and the prevalence of good over evil.” Mayor Koch joined us to discuss.

Since his election, he's voiced concern over AI's risks for kids, jobs, and dignity—arguing tech must serve people, not replace them.Therapists Feel Outmatched by AIMore therapists are reporting imposter syndrome, comparing themselves to AI chatbots that seem perfect: always available, beautifully scripted, patient. The piece argues this comparison overlooks what AI can't replicate—nuance, emotional depth, nonverbal cues—and warns that feeling replaced may push therapists into burnout rather than growth.Could AI Outperform Doctors in Diagnosing You?Recent studies suggest some AI tools are already beating doctors in clinical reasoning—especially for tricky, complex conditions. Doctors, it's argued, struggle with burnout, bias, and being unable to keep up with medical research; AI, by contrast, can sift through huge data sets, stay consistent, and pick up patterns humans might miss.Statues at Versailles Are Talking Back via AIVersailles rolled out a new AI app letting visitors converse with 20 statues and fountains across its gardens—like Apollo or Cupid riding a Sphinx.

What do typhoon evacuations, koala selfies, and second breakfast in Hobbiton have in common? They've all been part of Deacon Bob's adventurous month.  After a few weeks apart, Father Dave and Deacon Bob are back, swapping globe-trotting tales, ministry moments, and a surprisingly full slate of sports updates. Bob's recent trip took him from the typhoon-swept Philippines to Singapore, Perth, Sydney, and a bucket-list stop in New Zealand's Hobbiton (yes, complete with hobbit holes, the Green Dragon Inn, and second breakfast).  Along the way, he preached to 90 youth leaders just hours after a typhoon hit, met a koala, saw kangaroos, and even met a listener named Rain who drove five hours just to hear him speak. There were plenty of memorable meals, from perfect pancakes to less-than-crispy bacon.  Meanwhile, Father Dave stayed stateside, baptizing great-nieces (one walked to her own baptism), speaking at the Knights of Columbus Conference, and making a moving visit to the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine in Oklahoma City. He shares Rother's remarkable story—from failing Latin in seminary, to obeying his bishop's call to return to Guatemala, to his martyrdom in 1981—and the beauty of a shrine built right in the heart of the city it serves.  Sports fans get plenty too: the debut of MLB's first female umpire Jen Pawol (including her Hall of Fame–bound first pitch), Tom Brady's towering new statue, and even a trivia challenge about the University of Michigan making draft history.  Naturally, there are detours, including CGI vs. AI, bad sports statues, and ministry moments that transcended cultural boundaries. But through it all, the heart stays the same: joyfully sharing the Gospel, wherever God sends you (even if it's to a sheep paddock in New Zealand).    Highlighted Sections  (00:00) Sports, Schedules, and Saying Goodbye  The guys open with bittersweet news about the podcast winding down, why recording has gotten harder, and an invitation for listeners to share favorite memories. They then go into the week's light sports slate and review the new Superman. Even with the end in sight, their trademark banter is alive and well.    (05:41) Football, Statues, and Sports Trivia  Deacon Bob previews a Buccaneers-Steelers preseason game while Father Dave looks forward to Steelers training camp. They discuss Tom Brady's towering statue and celebrate Jen Pawol historic debut as MLB's first female umpire. The segment wraps with a trivia challenge about a university making draft history in all four major leagues.    (15:44) From Typhoons to Hobbit Holes  Bob recounts ministry in the Philippines, Perth, and New Zealand, including speaking to youth leaders after a typhoon and connecting with alumni abroad. He describes walking through the Shire set from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, complete with hobbit holes and the Green Dragon Inn. Jenny may not be a huge fan of the films, but even she found the tour magical.    (23:42) Sydney, Koalas, and the Ends of the Earth  From welcoming bishops to preaching across cultures, Bob reflects on moments when the Holy Spirit's anointing was tangible. He shares encounters with young adults, a koala, and a listener who drove five hours to hear him speak. Each stop reaffirmed the universal joy of sharing the Gospel.    (25:42) Baptisms, Knights, and Blessed Stanley Rother  Father Dave talks about baptizing his great-nieces and representing Franciscan University at the Knights of Columbus Conference. He shares the moving story of Blessed Stanley Rother a missionary priest martyred in Guatemala, and describes visiting the shrine dedicated to him. The witness of Rother's courage and devotion left a lasting impression.    (32:37) Feast Days and a Chapel Blessing  Looking ahead to the Feast of the Assumption they pray for peace amid global tensions. Father Dave previews the blessing of Franciscan University's newly renovated Christ the King Chapel, while Bob outlines upcoming speaking engagements. The conversation closes with anticipation for the start of the school year.    Resources Mentioned  Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine – Learn more about the first American-born martyr  MLB First Female Umpire – Jen Pawol – Read about her historic debut  Hobbiton Movie Set – Explore the filming location of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit  Feast of the Assumption – August 15, a Holy Day of Obligation in the Catholic Church  Christ the King Chapel Renovation – Franciscan University's expanded and renewed chapel  Purposeful Lab – New season started on Faith and Reason
