I just finished off the Bible in a Year podcast (with Fr. Mike Schmitz), which I recommend:
I would usually listen to the podcast, then do a rosary. The episodes are usually less than a half hour each. And you do, indeed, get through the entire Bible in 365 days (including the âextraâ deuterocanonical books like Sirach and Tobit
Or⌠you can join me in the new Catechism in a Year podcast!
there are a couple preview episodes, but it starts tomorrow
Even if the hammer thing is not a myth, itâs been a while since weâve had a pope emeritus die. (600 years?) Iâm not sure if we can assume the procedures are traditions are exactly the same as when a sitting pope dies.
Correct, which is why I linked to the Pillar on this:
They are pretty straightforward in their explainers compared to some of the other sources I know.
The Pillar has all sorts of goodies over at their site re: Benedictâs death, but of the most actuarial interest is the data on Popesâ ages when they died! (of the Popes that we know their ages when they died)
Yeah, I will do something with this later⌠hmmmmmm
Here are some non-actuarial posts from there as well:
Thanks for causing me to be distracted today by that dip in ages in the late 10th century.
The tale of John XIIâs demise livened up the day.
are you sure that the age(s) are known or simply âknownâ?

A lot of them probably would have died anyway.

A sword that is not pointy is just an oversized butter knife.

I have been sort of following along with this. I found the discussion of the Canon interesting. All those councilsâand I only really knew about Nicea. But then somewhere in the recesses of my mind I remember something about the fact that there were others. Of course there were!
I can go down some rabbit holes.
It also weirdly never occurred to me that the catechism was a book. I mean, I donât know what I thought it was⌠My church has a manual with âArticles of Faithâ. It would not take a year to read itâunless maybe you took only a sentence or two each day.
I did RCIA in my 20s, and it was all based around the Catechism (the edition before the one theyâre using in the podcast). It was pretty good â but I do like this update. Itâs more of how itâs organized than anything else.
