PATRISTIC PILLARS - Fr Joseph Hamilton - Don't believe all you saw in Gladiator!
Fr Joseph looks at the bloody martyrdoms under Marcus Aurelius. In this episode of Patristic Pillars, Fr Joseph Hamilton takes us through Eusebius's account of the martyrs of Vienne and Lyons (AD 177) from his Ecclesiastical History (Book V), drawing upon an ancient letter widely attributed to Irenaeus of Lyons, detailing the excruciating tortures and steadfast faith of early believers like Blandina and Sanctus. Fr Joseph Hamilton is the Rector of the Domus Australia in Rome, and a priest of the Archdiocese of Sydney Australia. Prior to his appointment at Domus, he served as private secretary to George Cardinal Pell, until the Cardinal’s untimely death. Fr Joseph completed his doctoral studies in Patristics at Christ Church, University of Oxford, and his license at the Patristic Institute “Augustinianum” in Rome. Prior to entering seminary he worked as an investment banker. Having left the economy of Mammon for that of Salvation, he studied at the Pontifical North American College. A native of Ireland, he is a keen but mediocre (his words) surfer, and enjoys reading and cooking. CREDO (currently hosting Patristic Pillars) is a programme that nourishes listeners in their Catholic faith. It airs live on Radio Maria every weekday at 4pm and is rebroadcast at 4am the following morning. Please consider supporting us with a one-off or monthly donation.

Culture Tuesday: Finding the Way with St Clare and a Trucker's Atlas
This episode of Culture Tuesday, Helena marked the feast day of St Clare of Assisi and asked what it really means to let God guide you. St Clare left behind wealth and comfort to follow a path she could not fully see. Most of us will never be asked to do anything so dramatic. But we are asked, again and again, to trust a way that is not our own. Helena brings that thought back down to earth with a story from this summer's family holiday to Devon. The smartphone stayed hidden away for the week and a trucker's road atlas took its place, spread out across laps and squinted at around every roundabout. No recalculating voice. No blue dot. Just a family working out the way together, one page at a time. What happens when you swap instant direction for something slower? What do you notice when you actually have to look? Join Helena as she connects St Clare's radical trust with a week of wrong turns, family bickering over map pages and the small everyday grace of finding your way home. Tune in to Culture Tuesday for faith, culture and a reminder that sometimes the best guidance is the kind you have to work for.
