Ever heard the title "Vicar of Christ" tossed around and wondered, wait... what does that actually mean? Vicar - Why It’s a Big Deal) Patrick explains the Latin word "Vicarius." It basically means “second in command” or “chief steward.” Think: the right-hand man or the chief of staff... someone who acts with the authority of the king when the king’s not present. So, when Catholics say the Pope is the Vicar of Christ, they’re not saying he replaces Jesus. They're saying he represents Jesus on Earth as the one appointed to shepherd the Church in Christ’s name. From Simon to Peter Then we jump to the moment in Matthew 16. Jesus asks, “Who do you say I am?” and Simon (not known for being shy) replies, “You are the Christ!” Jesus blesses him, gives him a new name: “Peter” (from the Aramaic Cephas, meaning “rock”), and tells him: "I give you the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. What you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven..." Translation: Peter is in charge. Not as a mere administrator, but as the earthly steward of Christ’s kingdom. Patrick makes it crystal clear: This is where the Vicar of Christ idea begins. Isaiah 22: Old Testament Prime Minister Patrick connects Matthew 16 to Isaiah 22, where a guy named Eliakim is appointed as the royal steward in the Davidic Kingdom. He's given a robe, a sash, and the keys of the house of David. Sound familiar? The verse literally says: "He shall open, and none shall shut; he shall shut, and none shall open." So, Peter’s role is like Eliakim’s: the one with real authority, not just among equals, but over the whole household. Christ Is the Head. The Pope Is His Vicar Christ is always the true head of the Church: ontologically and spiritually. But on Earth, He entrusted Peter (and his successors, the popes) to lead, guide, and protect the flock. So, when we say, “Vicar of Christ,” we’re affirming: -Biblical roots (Matthew 16 & Isaiah 22) -Historical continuity (Peter and beyond) -Spiritual authority (rooted in Jesus Himself) Bonus: Pope Fiction Patrick gives a plug for his book, Pope Fiction, which talks about this exact topic and busts myths left and right. (Worth a read if you're tired of TikTok theology.)

Patrick gave you a glimpse into the childhood and early years of our brand-new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV (Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost), with the kind of reverent curiosity you'd expect when an altar boy from the South Side becomes the Vicar of Christ. You can listen to his entire hour of commentary about Pope Leo XIV here. Hour 2 is available to listen here. Hour 3 is here. Humble Beginnings in the Windy City Born on September 14, 1955, in Dolton, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago), little Robert Prevost was raised in a faithful Catholic home. His dad, Louis Marius Prevost, was of French-Italian descent and served in the U.S. Navy during WWII. His mom, Mildred Martínez, was a Spanish-Creole librarian with deep Louisiana roots. He grew up going to St. Mary of the Assumption parish, where he served as an altar boy. So yes, he literally started out on the altar... just not quite at the Vatican level yet. He has two brothers, Louis Martin and John Joseph. A Brainy & Prayerful Path Young Robert was no slouch in school either; he studied math at Villanova, graduating in 1977. God had bigger plans. He entered the Order of St. Augustine in 1978, professed vows in 1981, and was ordained a priest in 1982. He studied theology in Chicago and canon law in Rome, eventually earning his doctorate from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum). From Peru to the Pontificate This wasn’t a man who just sat around in chancery offices. He served as a missionary priest in Peru, taught at seminaries, worked in diocesan offices, and even led the global Augustinian order as Prior General, twice. Eventually, he was appointed a bishop in Peru, received dual citizenship, and climbed the Vatican ranks: prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops and president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. If you wanted to become a bishop under Pope Francis? You probably went through his office. Cardinal, then…Pope! In 2023, he was made a cardinal, and by early 2025, elevated to Cardinal Bishop: one of the highest honors in the Church. Just a few months later, he appeared on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, smiling (and maybe a bit stunned), as the world heard those famous words: “Habemus Papam!”: We have a Pope! First Words as Pope Patrick shared audio from Pope Leo’s first Mass, where he began his homily in English before switching to Italian. His opening line was a quote from the Psalms: “I will sing a new song to the Lord, for He has done marvels... not just with me, but with all of us, my brother Cardinals.” It was humble, sincere, and straight from the heart. Fun Fact Corner: There's a photo of him at a Chicago World Series game dressed incognito, talking on a cell phone: captioned: “Here’s the Pope at the World Series.” Instant classic. His childhood home was reportedly listed for $199K the day before the conclave. His Creole roots and international experiences give him a beautiful cultural depth: a bridge between continents, languages, and peoples. From altar boy in Dolton to Peter’s successor: it’s a story only God could write.

Friends, on this Fourth Sunday of Easter, we have this marvelous, short but very punchy reading from the Gospel of John: Jesus referring to himself as the good shepherd. This is a remarkably apt metaphor for how God reaches out to us—knows us personally—and how we are able to discern and follow his voice. But how do we hear the voice of the shepherd? In a lot of ways—but I wonder if the clearest way isn't through the conscience, which John Henry Newman called the aboriginal Vicar of Christ in the soul.

O God, in your wondrous providence, you have chosen your servant, Pope Leo XIV, to preside over your Church. We ask that you grant him the strength and wisdom to serve as the Vicar of your Son on earth. May he be an example to the flock, leading with holiness, eagerness, humility, and courage, in imitation of the eternal High Priest.Bless him with a love and reverence for the Apostolic See, and guide him to defend its rights and authority valiantly. Grant him the grace to promote prayer and to call all people to discover their dignity as Christians through daily prayer. May his pastoral initiatives be a blessing for the universal Church, and may his words and authority inspire a society truly inspired by the values of peace, harmony, and justice.We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Who is the Pope? Today, we focus on the role of the Pope in the Catholic Church as the Vicar of Christ and pastor of the entire Church. The Catechism teaches us that the institution of the papacy dates back to that powerful moment in the Gospel when Jesus changed Simon's name to Peter, the “rock”, and handed him the keys of the Church. Fr. Mike unpacks this pivotal moment and helps us understand why the Pope is so foundational to the Faith. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 880-887. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Send us a textWhat is the true purpose of Catholic confession, and can any human truly forgive sins? This profound question launches us into a Scripture-rich exploration of forgiveness, authority, and the finished work of Christ.We unpack the linguistic connection between the title "Pope" (meaning "Vicar of Christ" or one who stands in place of Christ) and the literal meaning of "anti-Christ" – standing in lieu of Christ. This revelation provides a thought-provoking perspective many believers have never considered about papal authority and its biblical implications.Drawing from key passages throughout Scripture, we examine how Catholic practices like confession and the Eucharist compare with biblical teaching. The discussion centers on a fundamental truth: only God can forgive sins. When Jesus forgave sins during His earthly ministry, it proved His divinity – not established a tradition of human intermediaries.The conversation takes an unexpected turn when participants acknowledge how women in Christian communities often demonstrate exceptional Scripture knowledge and dedication. This observation launches a celebration of authentic fellowship where believers sharpen one another through communal study of God's Word.Perhaps most powerfully, we consider what it truly means to believe in the finished work of Christ on the cross. One participant shares a transformative practice: asking God to strip away every preconception until only His truth remains. Like the transfiguration where Moses and Elijah faded leaving only Jesus, we're challenged to see Christ alone rather than human traditions.Whether you're questioning religious traditions or seeking deeper understanding of forgiveness, this episode will challenge you to examine whether your beliefs are founded on Scripture or human authority.

Send us a textWhat happens when religious leaders claim to stand in the place of Christ? In this provocative and timely discussion, we examine the troubling influence of Catholicism on Christianity as a whole and the dangerous precedent of human authorities positioning themselves as intermediaries between believers and God.With the recent passing of Pope Francis, we take a hard look at the papal claim to be the "Vicar of Christ" and how this fundamental deviation from scripture has shaped religious authority for centuries. You'll hear multiple perspectives on how Catholic doctrines have subtly infiltrated even Protestant and non-denominational churches, creating what one speaker calls "the blueprint" for religious hierarchies that undermine direct relationship with Jesus.The conversation doesn't shy away from difficult truths: despite claiming over 1.4 billion adherents and continuing as the world's fastest-growing religion, Catholicism promotes teachings that contradict core biblical principles. Most troublingly, its influence extends far beyond practicing Catholics to shape cultural perceptions of Christianity globally.Personal stories bring this discussion to life, from a seminary student's humbling first experience in the pulpit to a former Catholic's journey out of generational religious tradition. You'll gain insights into authentic ministry that serves rather than usurps, and hear passionate calls for Christians to question religious traditions rather than accepting them uncritically.While acknowledging signs of growing apostasy in modern Christianity, the speakers offer hope for a coming revival—not centered around charismatic individuals, but a genuine movement of God's Spirit working through ordinary believers unified by love for Christ. This conversation will challenge you to examine your own understanding of spiritual authority and inspire a deeper commitment to Christ as the only true head of His church.The Balance of GrayGod, doubt, and proof walk into a podcast... it goes better than you'd expect!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Send us a textThe death of a Pope always prompts worldwide mourning and reflection, but what should Christians understand about the papacy from a biblical perspective? This unflinching examination cuts through emotional responses to analyze the theological claims at the foundation of papal authority.The central claim of Catholicism positions the Pope as the "Vicar of Christ" - standing in Jesus' place as supreme head of the universal church. But does Scripture support such a role? When we examine 1 Timothy 2:5, which declares "there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus," we find a direct contradiction to the entire hierarchical priesthood system with the Pope at its apex.This thought-provoking discussion doesn't attack individual Catholics but instead examines the institutional doctrines that separate the papacy from biblical Christianity. From claims of papal infallibility to the power to change moral laws, these teachings place human authority in a position Scripture reserves for Christ alone. The exploration connects historical developments after the fall of the Roman Empire with warnings in 2 Thessalonians about one who "opposes and exalts himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped."Many sincere followers of Catholicism have never critically examined these foundational doctrines, instead accepting them as tradition. Yet as believers committed to Scripture as our final authority, we must ask whether any human institution can rightfully claim to stand in Christ's place on earth. Is the Pope truly Christ's representative, or does this role fundamentally conflict with Jesus being the only head of His church?Where do you stand? Will you accept human traditions that place intermediaries between you and God, or will you embrace the direct access to the Father that Christ died to provide? Share your thoughts on this challenging topic and join the conversation about biblical truth versus religious tradition.The Balance of GrayGod, doubt, and proof walk into a podcast... it goes better than you'd expect!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Though Morocco is over 99% Muslim, Rabat has popped up on our radar before, thanks to recent Cardinal López Romero winding up as Archbishop of Rabat after his continent hopping journeys. Cardinal Barbarin hasn't gotten credit as Morocco's first Cardinal, when you Google that up you get lots of Lopez Romero. Granted, Philippe Barbarin wasn't born in the modern nation of Morocco, rather he was born in French Morocco, like Cardinal Mamberti, if you remember that. And it's fair to not count colonizers who never really lived the same lives as the locals. I don't know for sure that Philippe actually fits that description, but that's also not the only reason folks might not be in a rush to credit him as the first Moroccan Cardinal… but I'm getting ahead of myself.   After Moroccan independence, Philippe wound up in France, experiencing the joys of military service while also studying a little theology and a lot of philosophy in Paris, getting a licentiate in the former from the Carmes Seminary and a doctorate in the latter from the Sarbonne.   In 1977, Philippe Barbarin was ordained a priest for the young diocese of Créteil, centered on an eponymous suburb southeast of Paris. From 1977 till 1985, he served as Vicar in two parishes: Notre-Dame d'Alfortville and Notre-Dame de Vincennes, Notre-Dame of course being French for “Our Lady”, on the off chance that you got this deep without already knowing that.   From ‘85 to ‘90, Father Barbarin served two parishes and a school simultaneously, as well as an ecumenical role in the diocese. The parishes, if you're wondering, were Saint François de Sales d'Adambille en Saint-Maur, and Saint-Hilaire de la Varenne.   From ‘91 to ‘94, Father Barbarin served as the pastor of Saint Léger Parish and then transferred quite a ways, effectively being loaned out to the Archdiocese of Fianarantsoa in Madagascar, where he taught theology at the Major Seminary of Vohitsoa. Which explains the presence of Malagasy, the dominant language of Madagascar, on the list of languages Cardinal Barbarin Speaks, along with English, Italian, Spanish, German, and of course his native French.   1998 was white phone time, when Father Barbarin heard from Pope Saint John Paul the Second that he was going to be made Bishop of Moulins, back in France. As is so often the case, you can see why the three bishops that consecrated him were chosen for the task: his principal consectator was the Archbishop of Fianarantsoa, who he had been serving under in Madagascar, accompanied by his original bishop in France from Créteil, as well as the Bishop emeritus of Moulins who he was replacing.   Physically located in pretty much the exact center of France, it's worth noting that I simply do not trust the demographic data Catholic-Hierarchy.org has for the Diocese of Moulins. I want to give them credit for their essential work, and it's entirely possible the error is in the sources they're relying on and not some issue on their end, but I don't see how you can have the shifts shown in the period recorded. I'm sure I've missed flagging bad data before, so don't take this as an indication that I'll point it out whenever there's something fishy floating around, but I do what I can and felt I should mention the oddity there. At some point when I get around to it I'll cross reference their source material since they're kind enough to cite it.   In 2002, Bishop Barbarin was chosen as the next Archbishop of the ancient see of Lyon in southeasternish France. Allegedly, Lyon was the Capital of the Gauls back when the Gauls were a thing, and in any event it's pretty universally agreed that it's old enough one of its first bishops was a disciple of a disciple of Saint John, so basically Jesus' spiritual great-grandson, and that wasn't even the *first* bishop there. To this day, the Archbishop of Lyon also carries the title of Primate of the Gauls.   In 2003, that is, at the next opportunity, Archbishop Barbarin was made a Cardinal, which is completely unsurprising given the status of Lyon: every Archbishop of Lyon in the 20th century was made a Cardinal. And as we know, the red hat gets you additional duties: he was made a member of the Congregations for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, and for the Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. Of course the most famous duty of a Cardinal is the one he exercised in the conclave of 2005 that elected Pope Benedict, and again in the 2013 election that gave us Pope Francis.   Later on in 2013, Cardinal Barbarin suffered a heart attack while in South America preparing for World Youth Day. An unsourced wikipedia entry states that he underwent a successful triple bypass surgery in Martinique a few days later, and I think it's safe enough to say something like that happened: in any event he did survive.   In 2016, Cardinal Barbarin began to get asked questions about his handling–or lack thereof-of a bad priest, a certain Father Bernard Preynat. Content warning, I'm not going to go into graphic detail but yes we're talking about the abuse of minors here. From 1971 to 1991 Father Preynat abused some seventy minors he encountered principally through the scouting program.   Obviously, and allow me to stress this emphatically, the charge against Barbarin was not the abuse itself, but rather his lack of disclosure of the situation to the authorities. This was very much a charge though, because his lack of reporting was apparently a crime, and as a victim myself- though not of clergy- rightly so. Apparently in 2019 when Cardinal Barbarin was originally convicted of failing to report and was given a six month suspended sentence, he offered his resignation to Pope Francis, who initially refused, speaking of the presumption of innocence, which seems an odd line to take given Barbarin had *just* been convicted, but hey what do I know.   In any event, the next year Cardinal Barbarin's conviction *was* overturned on appeal, so it seems Pope Francis was perhaps wise to wait, but then in March his holiness turned around and accepted Cardinal Barbarin's resignation after all, making him the Archbishop Emeritus of Lyon.    Cardinal Barbarin says he is available for whatever mission Pope Francis might entrust him with next.   Barring a further change in his status, which to be clear I do not expect as I think it would have happened already if it was going to happen, Cardinal Philippe Barbarin remains eligible to participate in future conclaves until he turns 80 in 2030.   Today's episode is part of Cardinal Numbers. Stay tuned to see if today's Cardinal gets selected for a deeper dive in the next round! Thank you for listening; God bless you all!

Earlier this year Dr Kurt Martens, Professor of Canon Law at the Catholic University of America, joined Damian Thompson on Holy Smoke to unpack what happens during a papal conclave. There was heightened interest in the process due to the film Conclave, which swept the awards season, but also because Pope Francis was hospitalised at the time. Despite showing some signs of recovery – including being able to meet world leaders such as King Charles III and J.D. Vance – Pope Francis died on Easter Monday. Here we reissue the episode with Dr Martens, looking at what happens when a pope dies, with a new introduction from Damian. Writing the cover article for the Spectator this week, Damian writes: ‘the next Vicar of Christ will face challenges that dwarf those that confronted any incoming pope in living memory. The Church is mired in doctrinal confusion; its structures of government are fragmented; sexual scandals have been hushed up at the highest level; and it is staring into a financial abyss'. What can we expect from the upcoming conclave?  Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Is the Catholic Church heading toward another Reformation? With Pope Francis's passing and unprecedented changes in Rome, conservative Catholics are speaking of schism while others pray for revival.In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller, and special guest Mike Shreve (author and evangelist for The Catholic Project) examine the critical crossroads facing the Catholic Church. From the controversial legacy of blessing same-sex couples to the Pachamama ritual controversies, we explore how recent Vatican decisions have left many Catholics deeply divided.We'll unpack the historical significance of papal authority, examining how traditional titles like “Vicar of Christ” and “Pontifex Maximus” shape Catholic doctrine. Through careful analysis of recent Vatican controversies and growing resistance from traditional Catholics, we'll explore striking parallels between today's tensions and the conditions that sparked the Protestant Reformation.This episode provides crucial insights into one of today's most significant religious developments. Join us as we examine these challenges through both Protestant and Catholic perspectives, seeking truth with grace and biblical wisdom.INTRO TO THEOLOGY COURSE:

This morning, the UK regulator Ofcom released its Children's Safety Codes. These are the regulations that platforms will have to follow to protect young users and abide by the Online Safety Act. Platforms will have three months to carry out a risk assessment and bring the codes into effect. Ofcom can start enforcing the regulations from July. The most significant aspect is the requirement for strong age verification. Anita Rani hears from Baroness Beeban Kidron, founder of Five Rights, an international NGO working with and for children for a rights-respecting digital world, and Ian Russell, Chair of the Molly Rose Foundation. Ian's daughter Molly took her life at the age of 14 after being exposed to harmful content online.A new report says 91% of organisations in the UK's women and girls sector have seen a rise in demand for their services, but only 52% expect to be able to meet it. The report - from Rosa, the UK fund for women and girls - also found that 1.8% of charitable giving goes to women's charities although they represent at least 3.5% of charities. Anita is joined by Rebecca Gill, Executive Director at Rosa UK fund for women and girls and Cecily Mwaniki, Director of Utulivu, who support Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic and refugee women, girls, and their families in Reading.According to campaigners, people who have committed murder, manslaughter or stalking offences should be forced to live in restricted areas after being released from prison on licence. Anita is joined by BBC journalist Gemma Dunstan and law-change campaigners Rhianon Bragg and Dianna Parkes. 29-year-old Pippa White shares her daily life as a vicar to millions of viewers on TikTok. She joins Anita to discuss being a young woman in the Church, making religion fun and connecting with a younger audience.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rebecca Myatt

This week: the many crises awaiting the next pope ‘Francis was a charismatic pope loved by most of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics' writes Damian Thompson in the cover article this week. But few of them ‘grasp the scale of the crisis in the Church… The next Vicar of Christ, liberal or conservative' faces ‘challenges that dwarf those that confronted any incoming pope in living memory'.  Ahead of Pope Francis's funeral this weekend, Damian joined the podcast alongside the Catholic theologian Fr Alexander Lucie-Smith to unpack all the political intrigue underpinning the upcoming papal conclave. They say that he who enters the conclave as a pope, leaves as a cardinal – do we have any clues to who could emerge as Francis's successor? (1:01) Next: the ghastliness of AI ghouls The late Lily Parr – a chain-smoking, 6ft, Lancastrian, lesbian pre-war footballer – has been resurrected via an AI avatar. All fun and games at first glance but, as Mary Wakefield writes in the magazine this week, what the AI's creators have summoned is ‘a ghoul, a flimsy echo of Parr, infused with the spirit of Gen Z', lacking the original's character. Aside from the obvious issues, is this ethical, or even legal? Mary worries that overworked and underpaid teachers could soon deploy AI to summon the spirit of Churchill or Shakespeare. How concerned should we be about AI creep? Mary joined the podcast to discuss. We thought who better to ask about AI than AI itself so ChatGPT's latest AI model joined Mary to answer a few questions… (19:09) And finally: long live long lunch! Kenton Allen writes in defence of the traditional business lunch in the magazine this week. And it should be two hours at a minimum. This isn't a ‘long' lunch, he says, but a ‘proper' lunch. What does the decline of the work lunch tell us about society today? Kenton joined the podcast alongside the Spectator's restaurant critic Tanya Gold. They say there was a serious purpose to a long lunch, something being lost today by the modern workforce. Plus, they share their restaurant tips for the best long lunch.

Easter Sunday John 20: 1-18

He was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the son of a railway worker in Buenos Aires. A boy who once swept floors and manned the register at a bar with his brother. By all accounts, an ordinary lad from a country stitched together by tango, politics, and prayer. But destiny, you see... destiny doesn't always wear robes when it knocks. He was a chemical technician. A literature teacher. A janitor. And once, almost, a husband. For there was a girl, young and beautiful, to whom he wrote love letters. But his heart—his true heart—had already been spoken for by Someone Else. He joined the Jesuits, where vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience weren't just ideals... they were marching orders. He walked the alleys of the forgotten, knelt beside the sick, and baptized the unwashed with the tenderness of a shepherd who knew every sheep by name. In March of 2013, white smoke spiraled above St. Peter's Square, and a humble man stepped onto the world's stage. Habemus Papam. And for the first time in 1,200 years, the Vicar of Christ bore a name never before taken—Francis. Not in gold, but in linen. Not in a limousine, but in a Ford Focus. Not behind palace gates, but among the poor. He refused to live in the Vatican's ornate apostolic apartments. Instead, he chose a guest house with a single bed, a small desk, and a crucifix. The Pope, yes... but never far from the priest. He kissed the feet of Muslim refugees. He washed the hands of AIDS patients. He dared speak the words “Who am I to judge?” He turned doctrine into dialogue. Orthodoxy into empathy. And whether you agreed or not, you knew you were in the presence of someone utterly sincere. His critics said he was too soft, too political. But he simply said, “Mercy is the name of God.” He saw climate change as a moral issue. Inequality as a theological concern. He believed the Church should smell like the sheep—dusty, tired, and real. And then, as all men must, he reached his final days. No procession of marble horses. No velvet banners. Just the legacy of a man who tried, earnestly, to be more than a Pontiff. A bridge, truly. Between tradition and transformation. Between dogma and love. They say he died with a rosary in hand, a smile on his lips, and peace in his heart. And whether saint or sinner, Catholic or not, the world paused—just long enough—to say thank you. Thank you for showing us that greatness isn't about standing above... but kneeling besideBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

Oliver Goldsmith (born Nov. 10, 1730, Kilkenny West, County Westmeath, Ire.—died April 4, 1774, London) was an Anglo-Irish essayist, poet, novelist, dramatist, and eccentric, made famous by such works as the series of essays The Citizen of the World, or, Letters from a Chinese Philosopher (1762), the poem The Deserted Village (1770), the novel The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), and the play She Stoops to Conquer (1773).Goldsmith was the son of an Anglo-Irish clergyman, the Rev. Charles Goldsmith, curate in charge of Kilkenny West, County Westmeath. At about the time of his birth, the family moved into a substantial house at nearby Lissoy, where Oliver spent his childhood. Much has been recorded concerning his youth, his unhappy years as an undergraduate at Trinity College, Dublin, where he received the B.A. degree in February 1749, and his many misadventures before he left Ireland in the autumn of 1752 to study in the medical school at Edinburgh. His father was now dead, but several of his relations had undertaken to support him in his pursuit of a medical degree. Later on, in London, he came to be known as Dr. Goldsmith—Doctor being the courtesy title for one who held the Bachelor of Medicine—but he took no degree while at Edinburgh nor, so far as anyone knows, during the two-year period when, despite his meagre funds, which were eventually exhausted, he somehow managed to make his way through Europe. The first period of his life ended with his arrival in London, bedraggled and penniless, early in 1756.Goldsmith's rise from total obscurity was a matter of only a few years. He worked as an apothecary's assistant, school usher, physician, and as a hack writer—reviewing, translating, and compiling. Much of his work was for Ralph Griffiths's Monthly Review. It remains amazing that this young Irish vagabond, unknown, uncouth, unlearned, and unreliable, was yet able within a few years to climb from obscurity to mix with aristocrats and the intellectual elite of London. Such a rise was possible because Goldsmith had one quality, soon noticed by booksellers and the public, that his fellow literary hacks did not possess—the gift of a graceful, lively, and readable style. His rise began with the Enquiry into the Present State of Polite Learning in Europe (1759), a minor work. Soon he emerged as an essayist, in The Bee and other periodicals, and above all in his Chinese Letters. These essays were first published in the journal The Public Ledger and were collected as The Citizen of the World in 1762. The same year brought his Life of Richard Nash, of Bath, Esq. Already Goldsmith was acquiring those distinguished and often helpful friends whom he alternately annoyed and amused, shocked and charmed—Samuel Johnson, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Percy, David Garrick, Edmund Burke, and James Boswell. The obscure drudge of 1759 became in 1764 one of the nine founder-members of the famous Club, a select body, including Reynolds, Johnson, and Burke, which met weekly for supper and talk. Goldsmith could now afford to live more comfortably, but his extravagance continually ran him into debt, and he was forced to undertake more hack work. He thus produced histories of England and of ancient Rome and Greece, biographies, verse anthologies, translations, and works of popular science. These were mainly compilations of works by other authors, which Goldsmith then distilled and enlivened by his own gift for fine writing. Some of these makeshift compilations went on being reprinted well into the 19th century, however.By 1762 Goldsmith had established himself as an essayist with his Citizen of the World, in which he used the device of satirizing Western society through the eyes of an Oriental visitor to London. By 1764 he had won a reputation as a poet with The Traveller, the first work to which he put his name. It embodied both his memories of tramping through Europe and his political ideas. In 1770 he confirmed that reputation with the more famous Deserted Village, which contains charming vignettes of rural life while denouncing the evictions of the country poor at the hands of wealthy landowners. In 1766 Goldsmith revealed himself as a novelist with The Vicar of Wakefield (written in 1762), a portrait of village life whose idealization of the countryside, sentimental moralizing, and melodramatic incidents are underlain by a sharp but good-natured irony. In 1768 Goldsmith turned to the theatre with The Good Natur'd Man, which was followed in 1773 by the much more effective She Stoops to Conquer, which was immediately successful. This play has outlived almost all other English-language comedies from the early 18th to the late 19th century by virtue of its broadly farcical horseplay and vivid, humorous characterizations.During his last decade Goldsmith's conversational encounters with Johnson and others, his foolishness, and his wit were preserved in Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson. Goldsmith eventually became deeply embroiled in mounting debts despite his considerable earnings as an author, though, and after a short illness in the spring of 1774 he died.-bio via Britannica This is a public episode.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the renowned and versatile Irish writer Oliver Goldsmith (1728 - 1774). There is a memorial to him in Westminster Abbey's Poet's Corner written by Dr Johnson, celebrating Goldsmith's life as a poet, natural philosopher and historian. To this could be added ‘playwright' and ‘novelist' and ‘science writer' and ‘pamphleteer' and much besides, as Goldsmith explored so many different outlets for his talents. While he began on Grub Street in London, the centre for jobbing writers scrambling for paid work, he became a great populariser and compiler of new ideas and knowledge and achieved notable successes with poems such as The Deserted Village, his play She Stoops to Conquer and his short novel The Vicar of Wakefield.
