Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of the Third Week of Easter Lectionary: 275The Saint of the day is Saint Rose VeneriniSaint Rose Venerini's Story Rose was born at Viterbo in Italy, the daughter of a doctor. Following the death of her fiancé she entered a convent, but soon returned home to care for her newly widowed mother. Meanwhile, Rose invited the women of the neighborhood to recite the rosary in her home, forming a sort of sodality with them. As she looked to her future under the spiritual guidance of a Jesuit priest, Rose became convinced that she was called to become a teacher in the world rather than a contemplative nun in a convent. Clearly, she made the right choice: She was a born teacher, and the free school for girls she opened in 1685 was well received. Soon the cardinal invited her to oversee the training of teachers and the administration of schools in his diocese of Montefiascone. As Rose's reputation grew, she was called upon to organize schools in many parts of Italy, including Rome. Her disposition was right for the task as well, for Rose often met considerable opposition but was never deterred. She died in Rome in 1728, where a number of miracles were attributed to her. She was beatified in 1952 and canonized in 2006. The sodality, or group of women she had invited to prayer, was ultimately given the rank of a religious congregation. Today, the so-called Venerini Sisters can be found in the United States and elsewhere, working among Italian immigrants. Reflection Whatever state of life God calls us to, we bring with us an assortment of experiences, interests and gifts—however small they seem to us. Rose's life stands as a reminder that all we are is meant to be put to service wherever we find ourselves. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Sau khi Đức Phanxicô qua đời, kể từ ngày 07/05/2025, vào lúc 16 giờ 30 phút, 133 hồng y trên toàn thế giới sẽ bước vào nhà nguyện Sistina, bắt đầu vòng bỏ phiếu đầu tiên của Mật nghị Hồng y để chọn ra người kế nhiệm thứ 267 của thánh Phê-rô, cho Giáo hội Công giáo. Đây là mật nghị thứ 76 trong lịch sử Giáo hội và là lần thứ 26 diễn ra dưới tác phẩm Ngày Phán Xét Cuối Cùng của Michelangelo. Khi Đức giáo hoàng qua đờiĐức giáo hoàng là người đứng đầu Giáo hội Công giáo và quốc gia Vatican. Tổ chức của Giáo hội không chỉ gói gọn tại Tòa Thánh Vatican mà trải rộng trên toàn thế giới nơi có các hồng y và giám mục cộng tác với Giáo hoàng trong việc điều hành Giáo hội tại địa phương. Vậy khi đức giáo hoàng qua đời, tức là Tòa Thánh không có người đứng đầu, gọi là thời kỳ Trống Tòa, thì chuyện gì sẽ xảy ra ?Theo Tông huấn Praedicate evangelium (2022) của Đức Phanxicô, thì « khi Trống Tòa, tất cả những người đứng đầu các tổ chức và thành viên giáo triều đều phải dừng các chức vụ ». Nhưng hồng y Chánh án Tòa Ân giải Tối cao chịu trách nhiệm về các vấn đề liên quan đến bí tích giải tội và hồng y phụ trách các vấn đề bác ái vẫn « tiếp tục thực hiện các công việc bác ái, theo cùng các tiêu chí đã được tuân thủ trong thời kỳ giáo hoàng và vẫn phục vụ Hội đồng Hồng y cho đến khi bầu ra giáo hoàng mới ».Tuy nhiên, trong thời gian chờ đợi, các văn phòng và các bộ của Tòa Thánh vẫn tiếp tục làm việc để xử lý các vấn đề thường nhật. Như Phủ Quốc vụ khanh Tòa Thánh, cũng như các bộ Giáo lý Đức tin, bộ Phụng tự và Kỷ luật Bí tích, bộ Giám mục, bộ Giáo sĩ, Tòa Ân giải Tông Tòa và Phủ Thống đốc Thành Vatican.Nhưng trong thời kỳ vắng giáo hoàng, quyền lực dân sự của Tòa Thánh thuộc về Hồng y đoàn, cơ chế có trách nhiệm bàn luận và quyết định về lễ tang cũng như ngày giờ cho việc bầu chọn giáo hoàng mới, điều mà cả thế giới hiện đang hướng về Vatican để chờ đợi.Mật nghị Hồng yLịch sử Giáo hội Công giáo có hơn 2000 năm, nhưng cho đến hiện tại chỉ có 76 mật nghị với 266 vị giáo hoàng, cũng như mới có 26 lần mật nghị diễn ra ở nhà nguyện Sistina. Trong hơn 1200 năm đầu của lịch sử Giáo hội, người kế nhiệm thánh Phê-rô, với tư cách là giám mục Roma, được chọn với sự tham gia của các cộng đoàn địa phương. Các giáo sĩ xem xét các ứng viên do các tín hữu đề xuất và giáo hoàng mới được các giám mục chọn ra.Năm 1059, Đức Nicola II ra sắc lệnh In nomine Domini quy định cụ thể rằng chỉ có hồng y mới có quyền bầu giáo hoàng. Sắc lệnh đã được phê chuẩn một cách chắc chắn bởi tông hiến Licet de vitanda do Đức Alexandro III ban hành năm 1179. Theo đó, giáo hoàng phải được chọn với đa số hai phần ba số phiếu, một yếu tố quan trọng trong cuộc bầu cử giáo hoàng vẫn còn tồn tại cho đến ngày nay.Thuật ngữ mật nghị trong tiếng việt có nguồn gốc từ tiếng Latin « cum-clave », nghĩa là một không gian trong nhà, được « khóa chặt ». Trong ngôn ngữ của Giáo hội, nó được dùng để chỉ địa điểm kín nơi Hồng y đoàn quy tụ để bầu giáo hoàng mới.Thuật ngữ này bắt nguồn từ cuộc bầu chọn giáo hoàng sau cuộc mật nghị dài nhất trong lịch sử vào năm 1268. Phải mất đến hai năm chín tháng mới bầu được giáo hoàng. Vì quá lâu, nên người dân Viterbo vô cùng tức giận và quyết định nhốt 18 vị hồng y trong Dinh Tông tòa. Tất cả cửa ra vào và cửa sổ bị xây kín, mái nhà đã bị dỡ bỏ và lương thực bị cắt giảm.Cuối cùng, Đức Gregorio X đã được bầu chọn. Và ngài ban hành tông hiến Ubi periculum năm 1274, chính thức thành lập Mật nghị và quy định rằng Mật nghị phải được tổ chức ở một nơi thực sự được « khóa » cả bên trong và bên ngoài.Cuộc mật nghị chính thức đầu tiên diễn ra vào năm 1276 tại Arezzo để bầu ra Đức Innocente V. Kể từ đó, đã có thêm nhiều quy định về mật nghị. Đức giáo hoàng Gregorio XV (1621), đưa ra yêu cầu bỏ phiếu kín và bằng văn bản, và Đức Pio X buộc các hồng y phải giữ bí mật những gì xảy ra trong và sau mật nghị.Những thay đổi sau Thế Chiến IIĐến thời hiện đại, nhất là từ sau Chiến tranh thế giới II, đã có nhiều cải tổ trong việc bầu giáo hoàng. Năm 1945, Đức Piô XII ban hành tông hiến Vacantis Apostolicae Sedis liên quan đến thời điểm “Sede Vacante” (Trống Tòa) như đã nói ở trên.Trong điều đại của Đức Phaolô VI, quy định việc các hồng y chỉ có thể là cử tri cho đến trước 80 tuổi, đồng thời ấn định « số lượng hồng y cử tri tối đa không được vượt quá 120 » đã được ban hành.Văn bản luật hiện hành có hiệu lực đối với việc bầu giáo hoàng là tông hiến Universi Dominici Gregis, được Đức Gioan Phaolô II ban hành năm 1996 và được Đức Benedicto XVI sửa đổi vào năm 2013. Trong đó có quy định rằng Mật nghị Hồng y phải được tổ chức tại Nhà nguyện Sistina.Đức Benedicto XVI ra cũng quy định rằng, sau 34 lần bỏ phiếu mà vẫn không bầu được giáo hoàng, thì hai hồng y nhận được nhiều phiếu bầu nhất sẽ vào chung kết, nhưng vẫn duy trì quy tắc đa số hai phần ba phiếu bầu, để bầu ra vị mục tử mới của Giáo hội.Mật nghị tháng năm 2025Lần mật nghị này sẽ có 135 hồng y cử tri của Hồng y đoàn đến từ 71 quốc gia trên khắp các châu lục. Nhưng 2 người trong số họ sẽ không bước vào nhà nguyện Sistina vì lý do sức khỏe hay pháp lý. Trong số 135 cử tri, có 39% số hồng y đến từ châu Âu, giảm đáng kể so với tỷ lệ 52% trong lần Mật nghị năm 2013. Các hồng y người Ý, tuy vẫn là nhóm đông nhất, 17 cử tri, ít hơn tới 11 người so với năm 2013.Châu Phi, châu Á và châu Đại Dương cũng ghi nhận sự gia tăng trong Mật nghị lần này. Ngoài ra còn có các hồng y đến từ 15 quốc gia lần đầu tiên có đại diện tham dự Mật Nghị. Những con số này đã khẳng định sự quan tâm và chú ý mà Đức giáo hoàng Phanxicô dành cho Giáo hội, cũng như số lượng tín hữu Ki-tô giáo đông đảo nhất ở châu Á và châu Phi.Làm sao chọn lựa giữa các ứng viên ?Tính đến ngày 07/12/2024, có 253 hồng y trong toàn Giáo hội Công giáo. Việt Nam có 2 hồng y. Theo nguyên tắc, tất cả 253 vị này sẽ về Roma sau khi Đức Phanxicô qua đời để tham gia Hội đồng Hồng y. Nhưng vì nhiều lý do, đa số vì sức khỏe, nên chỉ có hơn phân nửa số này quy tụ về Roma.Hội đồng Hồng y, do hồng y niên trưởng chủ trì các buổi họp sau khi giáo hoàng qua đời để có những quyết định về tang lễ cũng như ngày giờ diễn ra Mật nghị bầu giáo hoàng mới. Hội đồng Hồng y nhóm họp mỗi ngày trước khi diễn ra Mật nghị để các hồng y bàn thảo về tương lai của Giáo hội. Đó cũng là thời gian để các hồng y làm quen với nhau và chờ đợi các hồng y cử tri đến Roma.Trong các Hội đồng Hồng y, các hồng y tham dự nhất là các hồng y cử tri, tức là những vị dưới 80 tuổi, đều phải đăng ký phát biểu ý kiến của mình về những vấn đề của Giáo hội. Một cách nào đó, đây là cách tự giới thiệu ứng viên cho chức vụ kế vị thánh Phê-rô. Trong các hội nghị này, các ngôn ngữ Anh, Pháp, Ý, Tây Ban Nha và Đức được dùng phát biểu và thông dịch, nhưng khi vào Mật nghị thì sẽ không còn thông dịch nữa.Ngày 7 tháng Năm năm 2025Mật nghị Hồng y bắt đầu vào ngày 7 tháng 5 lúc 10 giờ sáng tại Vương cung thánh đường Thánh Phêrô, sau Thánh lễ « pro eligendo Pontifice » cầu nguyện cho việc chọn lựa giáo hoàng. Sau đó, 133 hồng y cử tri sẽ được « khóa » ở Nhà Thánh Marta - Casa Santa Marta, nơi họ sẽ ở trong thời gian bỏ phiếu. Việc chia phòng cho họ do rút thăm ngẫu nhiên và họ sẽ được xe buýt chở đến nhà nguyện Sistina. Và dĩ nhiên, trong suốt thời gian này, điện thoại, máy tính và các phương tiện liên lạc đều bị thu giữ.Ngoại trừ ngày 7 tháng 5, khi cuộc bỏ phiếu đầu tiên và duy nhất trong ngày diễn ra vào buổi chiều, những ngày tiếp theo của Mật nghị sẽ có 4 cuộc bỏ phiếu, 2 cho buổi sáng và 2 vào buổi chiều. Mỗi ngày sẽ có 2 lần khói bốc lên từ ống khói, một cuối buổi sáng và một vào cuối buổi chiều, trừ khi giáo hoàng được bầu trước và trong trường hợp đó, khói sẽ được bay lên sớm hơn. Khói đen là chưa có giáo hoàng và khói trắng là tin vui.Bình thường, vị hồng y niên trưởng sẽ là người chủ trì các cuộc bỏ phiếu. Nhưng năm nay, vị này đã quá 80 tuổi nên ngài sẽ không được vào trong nhà nguyện Sistina, mà thay vào đó hồng y Pietro Parolin là người điều hành.Tại mỗi chỗ của các hồng y cử tri trong nhà nguyện Sistina, sẽ có sách nguyện để các vị đọc kinh phụng vụ và danh sách của 133 vị hồng y cử tri. Vì sao số hồng y năm nay lại đông hơn mức quy định là 120 ? Điều này do Hội đồng Hồng y quyết định chứ không nhất quyết phải theo đúng quy định của Đức Phaolô VI. Mỗi lá phiếu bằng tiếng la tinh theo mẫu : Tên (hồng y) xin chọn …. làm giáo hoàng. (ký tên)(https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conclave#/media/Fichier:Folded_conclave_ballot.jpg)Khi giáo hoàng được chọn, tất cả các hồng y còn lại của cử tri đoàn sẽ đến trước vị tân giáo hoàng và quỳ xuống để hôn nhẫn của ngài như cử chỉ chúc mừng và tỏ lòng vâng phục. Sau đó vị chưởng nghi, tức người điều phối các buổi cử hành phụng vụ của giáo hoàng, sẽ hỏi tên hiệu của tân giáo hoàng.Rồi ngài sẽ được dẫn qua Phòng Than Khóc – salla della Lamentazione để thay phẩm phục giáo hoàng trước khi ra chào toàn thể Dân Chúa tại ban công chính của Vương cung thánh đường Thánh Phê-rô. Tại đây, vị hồng y đẳng phó tế sẽ thông báo bắt đầu bằng công thức “Habemus papam”. Lần này sẽ là hồng y Dominique Mamberti, một người Pháp, nếu như ngài không được bầu làm giáo hoàng.Bất ngờ sẽ luôn xảy ra Từ sau chiến tranh, chỉ có hai vị được bầu mà không gây bất ngờ lớn là đức Pio XII (1939) và Đức Benedicto XVI (2005). Còn lại thì luôn là sự bất ngờ. Chính Đức Benedicto XVI, người đã rất bất ngờ trước kết quả của mật nghị 2013 mặc dù ngài và người kế nhiệm ngài đều vào chung kết của mật nghị 2005. Vì thực sự, không hề có tiêu chí cụ thể để có thể tiên đoán về kết quả. Và ở Roma có câu thành ngữ la tinh cổ nói về Mật nghị “Chi entra ner conclave papa, ne risorte cardinale” nghĩa là “Ai bước vào Mật nghị như là giáo hoàng, thì trở ra vẫn sẽ là hồng y”. Tức là những ứng viên mà nhiều người đặt hy vọng nhất sẽ không trở thành giáo hoàng. Đối với các hồng y bước vào Mật nghị để làm việc của Chúa Thánh Thần !

Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of the Third Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 319The Saint of the day is Servant of God Brother JuniperServant of God Brother Juniper's Story “Would to God, my brothers, I had a whole forest of such Junipers,” said Francis of this holy friar. We don't know much about Juniper before he joined the friars in 1210. Francis sent him to establish “places” for the friars in Gualdo Tadino and Viterbo. When Saint Clare was dying, Juniper consoled her. He was devoted to the passion of Jesus and was known for his simplicity. Several stories about Juniper in the Little Flowers of St. Francis illustrate his exasperating generosity. Once Juniper was taking care of a sick man who had a craving to eat pig's feet. This helpful friar went to a nearby field, captured a pig and cut off one foot, and then served this meal to the sick man. The owner of the pig was furious and immediately went to Juniper's superior. When Juniper saw his mistake, he apologized profusely. He also ended up talking this angry man into donating the rest of the pig to the friars! Another time Juniper had been commanded to quit giving part of his clothing to the half-naked people he met on the road. Desiring to obey his superior, Juniper once told a man in need that he couldn't give the man his tunic, but he wouldn't prevent the man from taking it either. In time, the friars learned not to leave anything lying around, for Juniper would probably give it away. He died in 1258 and is buried at Ara Coeli Church in Rome. Reflection What can we make of Juniper? He certainly seems to be the first of many Franciscan “characters.” No doubt some of the stories about him have improved considerably in the retelling. Although the stories about Juniper may seem a little quaint, his virtues were not. He was humble because he knew the truth about God, himself, and others. He was patient because he was willing to suffer in his following of Jesus. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Priest and Doctor of the Church Lectionary: 318The Saint of the day is Saint Thomas AquinasSaint Thomas Aquinas' Story By universal consent, Thomas Aquinas is the preeminent spokesman of the Catholic tradition of reason and of divine revelation. He is one of the great teachers of the medieval Catholic Church, honored with the titles Doctor of the Church and Angelic Doctor. At five he was given to the Benedictine monastery at Monte Cassino in his parents' hopes that he would choose that way of life and eventually became abbot. In 1239, he was sent to Naples to complete his studies. It was here that he was first attracted to Aristotle's philosophy. By 1243, Thomas abandoned his family's plans for him and joined the Dominicans, much to his mother's dismay. On her order, Thomas was captured by his brother and kept at home for over a year. Once free, he went to Paris and then to Cologne, where he finished his studies with Albert the Great. He held two professorships at Paris, lived at the court of Pope Urban IV, directed the Dominican schools at Rome and Viterbo, combated adversaries of the mendicants, as well as the Averroists, and argued with some Franciscans about Aristotelianism. His greatest contribution to the Catholic Church is his writings. The unity, harmony, and continuity of faith and reason, of revealed and natural human knowledge, pervades his writings. One might expect Thomas, as a man of the gospel, to be an ardent defender of revealed truth. But he was broad enough, deep enough, to see the whole natural order as coming from God the Creator, and to see reason as a divine gift to be highly cherished. The Summa Theologiae, his last and, unfortunately, uncompleted work, deals with the whole of Catholic theology. He stopped work on it after celebrating Mass on December 6, 1273. When asked why he stopped writing, he replied, “I cannot go on…. All that I have written seems to me like so much straw compared to what I have seen and what has been revealed to me.” He died March 7, 1274. Reflection We can look to Thomas Aquinas as a towering example of Catholicism in the sense of broadness, universality, and inclusiveness. We should be determined anew to exercise the divine gift of reason in us, our power to know, learn, and understand. At the same time we should thank God for the gift of his revelation, especially in Jesus Christ.

Angelo Deiana"Storia della signora Cimice e del gatto Giustino"Scatole Parlantiwww.scatoleparlanti.itGiunta agli ultimi giorni della sua lunga vita, un'anziana cimice finisce in una casa dove vive una ragazza, prossima a partorire la sua prima figlia, insieme agli adorati gatti Mumma e Sebastiano. La convivenza dell'insetto con i due felini all'inizio non è affatto facile, anzi: non c'è giorno che non cerchino di ucciderla. Ma la nascita della bambina e un terribile evento occorso al signor Giustino, il re dei gatti del quartiere, cambieranno presto tutto. In un incontro continuo, divertente ed emozionante tra specie diverse, questa favola racconta alcune facce dell'amore, l'importanza dell'altro e quel vuoto che spesso attraversa i più giovani, restituendo importanti spunti di riflessione.Angelo Deiana è nato nel 1991 e vive a Viterbo.

Pietro Cecchetti"L'abbraccio delle parole"Dialoghi tra un adulto e un bambinoScatole Parlantiwww.scatoleparlanti.itL'abbraccio delle parole è un libro costruito attorno a una serie di ipotetici dialoghi tra adulti e bambini che vuole sia offrire ai lettori spunti concreti di psicologia e educazione, sia proporre riflessioni e approfondimenti di più ampio respiro sulla relazione tra mondo adulto e mondo bambino. Le tematiche trattate nel testo spaziano su temi rilevanti per l'età evolutiva, dall'autonomia alla sicurezza emotiva, dallo sviluppo dell'identità alle relazioni familiari e vengono affrontate attraverso un approccio originale con l'obiettivo di espandere gli orizzonti dell'adulto e consentirgli di parlare in modo libero e personale con il bambino. I bambini, come il libro intende mettere in luce, hanno bisogno di adulti che siano disposti a dialogare con loro.“Pietro Cecchetti, in questi suoi dialoghi, è come se cercasse sempre di mostrare quanto le parole dei bambini molte volte ci pungano, ci spiazzino, ci facciano inciampare e, proprio per questo, possiedano la capacità di illuminare di luce nuova e trasversale il nostro pensiero e il nostro quotidiano. Le tante bambine e bambini che vengono evocati nei diversi capitoli, anche se ‘inventati' dall'autore, sono qui a ricordarci che la comprensione di noi stessi è enormemente impoverita se non allenata da un contatto profondo e continuo con l'infanzia”.  (dalla prefazione di Franco Lorenzoni)Pietro Cecchetti è nato e vive a Viterbo.

The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org

Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 433The Saint of the day is Saint Rose of ViterboSaint Rose of Viterbo’s Story Even as a child, Rose had a great desire to pray and to aid the poor. While still very young, she began a life of penance in her parents' house. She was as generous to the poor as she was strict with herself. At the age of 10, she became a Secular Franciscan and soon began preaching in the streets about sin and the sufferings of Jesus. Viterbo, her native city, was then in revolt against the pope. When Rose took the pope's side against the emperor, she and her family were exiled from the city. When the pope's side won in Viterbo, Rose was allowed to return. Her attempt at age 15 to found a religious community failed, and she returned to a life of prayer and penance in her father's home, where she died in 1251. Rose was canonized in 1457. Reflection The list of Franciscan saints seems to have quite a few men and women who accomplished nothing very extraordinary. Rose is one of them. She did not influence popes and kings, did not multiply bread for the hungry, and never established the religious order of her dreams. But she made a place in her life for God's grace, and like Saint Francis before her, saw death as the gateway to new life.

Questa settimana, siamo onorate di avere con noi Aurora, attivista transfemminista, per un episodio di grande importanza. Affronteremo il grave problema della transfobia in Italia, sia online che offline. Discuteremo dell'onda di odio scatenata dopo le dichiarazioni contro la pugile algerina Imane Khelif e dell'orrendo attacco recente a Viterbo, dove due ragazze transgender sono state picchiate da dieci persone. Questo tragico evento è una drammatica dimostrazione della violenza e della transfobia che permeano la nostra società. Aurora condividerà senza filtri la sua esperienza, offrendo una panoramica cruda sulla transfobia e sulla morbosa curiosità dei media italiani verso le vite private e i corpi delle atlete olimpiche. Un enorme grazie ad Aurora per essersi aperta con noi e per il suo coraggio nel trattare questi temi così delicati.

When the draft majority decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health was leaked, the media, public officials, and scholars focused on the overturning of Roe v. Wade. They noted Justice Alito's strident tone and radical use of originalism to eliminate constitutional protection for reproductive rights. My guest today has written a book that asks us to also notice over 140 footnotes in the majority opinion and dissent. Are these notes part of the law? In his new book, The Supreme Court Footnote: A Surprising History (NYU Press, 2024), Dr. Peter Charles Hoffer insists that these notes are significant. The footnotes reveal the justices' beliefs about the Constitution's essence, highlight their controversial reasoning, and expose “vastly different interpretations of the role of Supreme Court Justice.” Using a comprehensive qualitative analysis, The Supreme Court Footnote, offers a history of the evolution of footnotes in US Supreme Court opinions and a thoughtful set of case studies to reveal the particular ways that the footnote has affected Supreme Court decisions. Hoffer argues that justices alter the course of history through their decisions and the footnote is the way in which they push their own understanding of the Constitution. Eight case studies show how the footnote has evolved over time. He begins with Chisholm v. Georgia in 1792 and ends with Dobbs v. Jackson case in 2022. Using Dred Scott, Viterbo v. Friedlander, Muller v. Oregon, United States v. Carolene Products, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, and District of Columbia v. Heller, Hoffer demonstrates how the footnotes reflect the changing role of the Supreme Court justice and the manner in which they interpret the Constitution. Dr. Hoffer looks back in order to look forward. He offers a study of the footnote that is relevant to contemporary debates over the Supreme Court, methods of interpretation, and politics.  Dr. Peter Charles Hoffer is Distinguished Research Professor of History at the University of Georgia. Hoffer went to University of Rochester and Harvard and has taught at Ohio State, Notre Dame, and UGA (since 1978). He has written books on the Supreme Court, the Federal Court System, infanticide, impeachment, abortion, early American history, slave rebellions, and historical methods. During the podcast, we mentioned: Anthony Grafton's The Footnote: A Curious History (Harvard, 1999) My NBN conversation with Laura F. Edward's on her book (The People and their Peace), originalism and domestic violence The University of Kansas's Landmark Law Series Peter's book Reading Law Forward: The Making of a Democratic Jurisprudence from John Marshall to Stephen G. Breyer (University of Kansas, 2023) The June 2024 recording of Justices Roberts and Alito on godliness Susan's “Sensitive Places?: How Gender Unmasks the Myth of Originalism in District of Columbia v. Heller” (Polity, 2021) Learn more about your ad choices.

Una delle personalità più fumantine e determinate del calcio italiano. Discusso ma anche tanto amato per le imprese eroiche compiute con la maglia azzurra e con quella della Juventus, ebbene sì, Leonardo Bonucci è passato dal BSMT. Leonardo Bonucci, classe 1987, è uno dei migliori difensori italiani della sua generazione. Cresciuto tra i campi di Viterbo, ha collezionato ben nove scudetti, di cui uno con l'Inter e otto con la Juventus. Con la maglia bianconera infatti si può dire che ha vinto tutto: quattro Coppe Italia, cinque Supercoppe di Lega e ha giocato due finali di Champions League. Con la Nazionale, invece, ha conquistato l'Europeo del 2020 e ha brillato in numerose competizioni internazionali. Un vero e proprio fuoriclasse che, dopo un anno diviso tra Germania e Istanbul e al compimento dei 37 anni, ha deciso di dire addio al calcio giocato in ottica di un futuro da allenatore da costruire. Una chiacchierata che non lascerà di certo indifferenti. Oltre la maglia, oltre il tifo e oltre tutte le polemiche. Abbiamo raccontato la storia di uno dei difensori italiani più forti degli ultimi decenni. Una storia fatta di tante vittorie sul campo ma anche di momenti no nella vita e di delusioni difficili da digerire. Un grande campione, in campo e fuori dal campo. Buon ascolto!

Thursday of the Seventh Week in Ordinary Time Saint of the Day: St. Crispin of Viterbo,1668-1750; studied at the Jesuit college, and became a shoemaker; joined the Franciscan Capuchins at age 25, where he served as gardener and cook, calling himself "the little beast of burden of the Capuchins"; through his intercession, there were many miraculous cures during a pandemic; he was also venerated for his prophecies and spiritual wisdom Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 5/23/24 Gospel: Mark 9:41-50

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Sixth Week of Easter Lectionary: 292The Saint of the day is Saint Rose VeneriniSaint Rose Venerini's Story Rose was born at Viterbo in Italy, the daughter of a doctor. Following the death of her fiancé she entered a convent, but soon returned home to care for her newly widowed mother. Meanwhile, Rose invited the women of the neighborhood to recite the rosary in her home, forming a sort of sodality with them. As she looked to her future under the spiritual guidance of a Jesuit priest, Rose became convinced that she was called to become a teacher in the world rather than a contemplative nun in a convent. Clearly, she made the right choice: She was a born teacher, and the free school for girls she opened in 1685 was well received. Soon the cardinal invited her to oversee the training of teachers and the administration of schools in his diocese of Montefiascone. As Rose's reputation grew, she was called upon to organize schools in many parts of Italy, including Rome. Her disposition was right for the task as well, for Rose often met considerable opposition but was never deterred. She died in Rome in 1728, where a number of miracles were attributed to her. She was beatified in 1952 and canonized in 2006. The sodality, or group of women she had invited to prayer, was ultimately given the rank of a religious congregation. Today, the so-called Venerini Sisters can be found in the United States and elsewhere, working among Italian immigrants. Reflection Whatever state of life God calls us to, we bring with us an assortment of experiences, interests and gifts—however small they seem to us. Rose's life stands as a reminder that all we are is meant to be put to service wherever we find ourselves. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Henry d'Almain didn't really want to fight in the Second Barons' War,  because the leaders of the two sides were both his uncles, and when his uncle Simon de Montfort was killed and mutilated in the last battle, he wasn't part of that, so it was really unseemly for his cousins, the sons of Simon de Montfort, to find him in a church in Italy and slaughter him while he was clinging to the altar. As vengeance goes, it was a really stupid vengeance that didn't settle anything, and only got the de Montfort boys into more trouble. (Their father wouldn't have done such a thing; the de Montforts were going downhill, that generation.)  Anne wrassles with her grudging respect for Simon de Montfort, and Michelle finds a really badly behaved Victorian scholar. Because bad behavior transcends the Middle Ages. 

La legge del "Dopo di noi" voleva garantire la possibilità alle famiglie con ragazzi disabili di avere un futuro anche dopo la morte dei genitori. Ad oggi, l'istituto che può tornare utile in questo senso è il "trust", di origine anglosassone.

A scientist and a comedian walk into a bar—for an interview about the craft of science comedy. Ira talks to comedians Chuck Nice, Kasha Patel, and Kyle Marian Viterbo about their work bringing the joke format to science communication. While all three have different approaches to science—whether it's sneaking the knowledge into “regular” jokes, or going straight for the factual jugular—they agree that the practice of stand-up has much in common with the scientific process. “We normally start with an observation or a question,” says Nice. “The experimentation is the joke itself, seeing whether or not it will get a laugh… you have to tell it in front of an audience. And after that you go, ‘Wow, that sucked. I can't believe that wasn't funny.'”Plus, why comedy can itself be a science, and what good comedy has in common with good (science) communication.“It's a long term skillset in playing with, and communicating, and connecting with your audience,” says Viterbo. “To be able to really listen to our audience, which these days we need more of.”Universe of Art is hosted and produced by D.

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Fourth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 323The Saint of the day is Servant of God Brother JuniperServant of God Brother Juniper's Story “Would to God, my brothers, I had a whole forest of such Junipers,” said Francis of this holy friar. We don't know much about Juniper before he joined the friars in 1210. Francis sent him to establish “places” for the friars in Gualdo Tadino and Viterbo. When Saint Clare was dying, Juniper consoled her. He was devoted to the passion of Jesus and was known for his simplicity. Several stories about Juniper in the Little Flowers of St. Francis illustrate his exasperating generosity. Once Juniper was taking care of a sick man who had a craving to eat pig's feet. This helpful friar went to a nearby field, captured a pig and cut off one foot, and then served this meal to the sick man. The owner of the pig was furious and immediately went to Juniper's superior. When Juniper saw his mistake, he apologized profusely. He also ended up talking this angry man into donating the rest of the pig to the friars! Another time Juniper had been commanded to quit giving part of his clothing to the half-naked people he met on the road. Desiring to obey his superior, Juniper once told a man in need that he couldn't give the man his tunic, but he wouldn't prevent the man from taking it either. In time, the friars learned not to leave anything lying around, for Juniper would probably give it away. He died in 1258 and is buried at Ara Coeli Church in Rome. Reflection What can we make of Juniper? He certainly seems to be the first of many Franciscan “characters.” No doubt some of the stories about him have improved considerably in the retelling. Although the stories about Juniper may seem a little quaint, his virtues were not. He was humble because he knew the truth about God, himself, and others. He was patient because he was willing to suffer in his following of Jesus. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Full Text of ReadingsFourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 71The Saint of the day is Saint Thomas AquinasSaint Thomas Aquinas' Story By universal consent, Thomas Aquinas is the preeminent spokesman of the Catholic tradition of reason and of divine revelation. He is one of the great teachers of the medieval Catholic Church, honored with the titles Doctor of the Church and Angelic Doctor. At five he was given to the Benedictine monastery at Monte Cassino in his parents' hopes that he would choose that way of life and eventually became abbot. In 1239, he was sent to Naples to complete his studies. It was here that he was first attracted to Aristotle's philosophy. By 1243, Thomas abandoned his family's plans for him and joined the Dominicans, much to his mother's dismay. On her order, Thomas was captured by his brother and kept at home for over a year. Once free, he went to Paris and then to Cologne, where he finished his studies with Albert the Great. He held two professorships at Paris, lived at the court of Pope Urban IV, directed the Dominican schools at Rome and Viterbo, combated adversaries of the mendicants, as well as the Averroists, and argued with some Franciscans about Aristotelianism. His greatest contribution to the Catholic Church is his writings. The unity, harmony, and continuity of faith and reason, of revealed and natural human knowledge, pervades his writings. One might expect Thomas, as a man of the gospel, to be an ardent defender of revealed truth. But he was broad enough, deep enough, to see the whole natural order as coming from God the Creator, and to see reason as a divine gift to be highly cherished. The Summa Theologiae, his last and, unfortunately, uncompleted work, deals with the whole of Catholic theology. He stopped work on it after celebrating Mass on December 6, 1273. When asked why he stopped writing, he replied, “I cannot go on…. All that I have written seems to me like so much straw compared to what I have seen and what has been revealed to me.” He died March 7, 1274. Reflection We can look to Thomas Aquinas as a towering example of Catholicism in the sense of broadness, universality, and inclusiveness. We should be determined anew to exercise the divine gift of reason in us, our power to know, learn, and understand. At the same time we should thank God for the gift of his revelation, especially in Jesus Christ.
