PODCAzT 70: Venerable Bede on All Saints; a collage; don Camillo (Part IV)

For this Feast of All Saints we tune in to hear what Venerable Bede (+735) has to say.  This is an excerpt from today’s Matins in the traditional Breviarium Romanum and is taken from one of Bede’s sermons.

I comment.

Also, I have a bit of a collage, which just “grew” out of thinking through some e-mail I received while I was working on this, and had Bede’s words about this shortness of this life fresh in my mind.

There are a lot of broken hearts out there, folks.  It takes time to get things in perspective, but the right starting point helps.

Also, we have another installment of stories about the fictional don Camillo Tarocci, (+ A.D. … ?) parish priest of “The Little World” created by Giovanni Guareschi.

I began a to read stories from The Little World of Don Camillo back in PODCAzT 65.  There is a Don Camillo tag you can use to find the others easily.

These delightful pieces are set in post-war Nothern Italy.

They blend brilliant insight into the human condition with solid applied Catholic Faith. 

Today we hear two tales:

Rivalry
and
Crime and Punishment

Not sure if the iTunes feed is working.  It stops and starts again… mysteriously.  Beats me!

    Hi Father,

    Regarding your iTunes feed — like you, I use my blog to host my podcast. I just started it the beginning of October, but I soon noticed that not only my iTunes feed but also my feed at Podcast Alley were messed up. What I realized was that my written posts — those without a podcast — were pushing my podcasts off the feed.

    Here’s how I fixed it. My server allows me to have subdomains. I set up a subdomain, loaded wordpress, and set up an independent blog for my podcasts. I only post my podcasts on this new blog (the subdomain). Since the feeds are different, my written posts no longer push my podcasts off my feed. It seems to have worked. Both my iTunes feed and my Podcast Alley feed are working like a charm.

    You might look into it.

    Hi Father,

    It’s great to see the podcazts and Don Camillo back! I really enjoy them.

    For anyone interested, Netflix has some of the original Don Camillo movies with Fernandel and Gino Cervi. They’re a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed The Return of Don Camillo.

    You know, Father, that at times you may feel like Don Camillo: “no one cares to see me off”. Well I am here to say, in the little village this site stopped at, that that podcast was simply wonderful. Here I am at 3 in the morning, deeply upset about a matter that while nasty as can be, is in the realm of things only temporary. Then I turned to your site and listened to the podcast which gave me strength, perspective and with Don Camillo, perhaps some temperance too. So thank you in particular for this most enjoyable time. I think I’ll listen to it again (PS I’m knitting a sock while listening and that does lend the experience a certain grounding in reality.)
