I just got back from 11 days in Italy on a pilgrimage with Corpus Christi church in Bonita California. Loved it. Awesome Catholic history. Beautiful Churches. Loved the 🍷 wine!
Another great fact is the Pieta by Michelangelo is the only digned scultpture. He never signed any of this other sculptures but he felt drawn to the work and final piece to the Pieta (Mary holding the dead Christ) that he signed it. The Pieta sits in the Vatican City.
Proud to be catholic AND Italian …🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹✝️✝️✝️ we’re simply the best Been to Rome so many times every time I Went to Italy I went to Rome So if one goes to the Vatican museum and looked at each painting for 1 minute it will take 11 years to see them all Just stupendous It’s known as the eternal city 🇮🇹 Been to mass at the Vatican so many times 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Father, I'm going to bring a picture to mass on Wednesday that my sister took while at the colleseum. I'm off work Wednesday so I can come to mass with John. This picture says it all. You'll see ❤🤗 God is great, and his beloved son saved us.
My wife and I were there in 2008, an it was a fantastic visit as part of our Italy vacation. The Basilica, the Altar, the art museum, the grandeur, Pietá, Sistine Chapel, etc. Every Roman Catholic should try to visit once in their life.
I've been to Vatican twice. One in 2021 and one 4 months ago and I was a few feet away from the Pope as he passed by in his Popemobile during a general audience. I think of Italy almost every day. I hope to go back again🙏🏻🤍 I love this episode by the way! Thank you.
Thanks all! Great show. I have the privilege of working with the Bridgettine Sisters at their Convent here in Columbus, Ohio and I believe Saint Catherine of Siena was inspired by their foundress, Saint Bridget of Sweden to get the pope back to Rome. After Bridget’s death Catherine persevered. If you are in Columbus, please let me know as I know the Bridgettine sisters would love to welcome you to the convent; where heaven meets earth!
I have been searching high and low to find a way to contact you guys and finally resorted to posting a comment on RU-vid…who is the artist or band that plays your intro guitar riff? You really need some email addresses on your website(s) for us older guys who don’t tweet, Facebook etc. Thank you and keep up the great work
It is possible. When I was in the Vatican, I was fortunate to have a private tour with a Latin scholar who took me to places that ordinary people don't get to see.
In my studies of political institutions, the Vatican is indeed a state but not a nation. It is not a country compared to the meaning of nationhood or "country."
The Holy See should have bought/should buy some vineyards in France or Italy if they go through so much wine. I mean they've had over 1,000 years to acquire them. I'm pretty sure the Borgias were not drinking swill.
Good Day to all, I am asking for prayers... I was diagnosed with "C" and will have to undergo surgery. SO far no chemo/radiation. Please pray for me and others who are going through medical/physical ailments. With the "C" diagnosis I am also having crippling anxiety and depression. I keep to my 4 F's... Faith, Family, Friends, and Fun... Thanks Danny😞
Show some respect for Football 🦶🏼⚽️💪🏽 Catholic talk show!! It's the Universal game, it's Catholic and it's God's favorite game! (private rev. 😅) it was in the Americas long before the grid version of rugby tackling🥚carryball. #WorldCup2024MexicoUSACanada #VivaFootball 🦶🏼⚽️💪🏽
I know Americans say OMG twice in every sentence. But is “Oh my Gosh” better? I would prefer to hear Catholic men speak without using a euphemism for OMG itself.
What Sports teams does Jesus want us to cheer for? NO Saints⚜? Detroit Lions 🦁of Judah? We shall rise up with wings as Eagles🦅? Cardinals🔴? We are the sheep(🐏Rams) of His pasture? Angels? Padres?
Pengemis yang tidak tau malu, sudah tidak fi sukai mereka mengemis terus, jika sudah miskin jangan sok kaya sombong, sok kaya di luar dalamnya miskin, parah, sudah saya tidak suka mengemis terus srperti gembel, mengemis di jalanan.
I’ve had Montezuma’s Revenge more times than I care to admit. Every time I go to Mexico I bring Imodium with me because I know I’m going to need it. I’m not sure why but “Pull down your eye patch,” made howl. 😂🤣😂 I also agree that Catholics should be allowed to be Dual Citizens of The Vatican and our Country of Origin.
The Pope has been presented with many football jerseys, each one a legend of the sport; just Messi's jerseys alone could cover a whole wall. In the Vatican Museum, there are jerseys signed by the entire Argentine team after winning the World Cup. In 2006, UEFA expressed a welcome for the Vatican to join, but at that time, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone responded that the Vatican football team would only develop in the amateur game. Perhaps he was concerned about the game becoming too commercialized.
If you could start a Vatican City sports team, what would the team name be? I'm thinking of my hometown football team, the New Orleans Saints. That would be pretty cool for a Vatican City team. But, I bet that some of you could come up with some fun ones.
So cool!!! I love each episode you guys air - I learn so much!! Whenever I feel sad or lonely, I just turn on an episode because it feels like I’m listening to a conversation between my dad and his friends 🤣🩷
