Sassanid silver plate 7th C. CE. Decorated with a figure seated on a couch in a crescent moon and a figure standing in an archway. Found in Klimova, Russia in 1907. The base of the vessel appears to have runic script scratched into it. This item is sometimes referred to as The ‘Clock of Khosrow’ or The ‘Throne of Khosrow’ Plate. Diameter: 21.6cm.
I'm just going to do a brief summary of what caused Persia to fall to Islam.
The Islamic invasion of Persia began sometime between 628-632 CE. From 541 CE to this time Persia had been exhausted by an almost constant state of war. Most of the fighting was with the Byzantine Empire in the west: The Lazic War (541-562), Byzantine–Sasanian War of 572–591, Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628.
However, there were also wars with the Turks to the north and the east: Perso-Turkic war of 588–589, Perso-Turkic war of 606–608, Perso-Turkic war of 627–629. In this final war the Byzantines and Turks were allies. This alliance took time to come into being but had been sought out by the Turks almost immediately after they destroyed the Hephthalites, indicating they planned to do to the Persians what they had done to the Huns. The medieval historian Movses Kaghankatvatsi described the war of 627-629:
"At the arrival of the all-powerful scourge (universal wrath) confronting us, the invaders [Turks], like billowing waves of the sea, crashed against the walls and demolished them to their foundations. [In Partaw], seeing the terrible danger from the multitude of hideously ugly, vile, broad-faced, without eyelashes, and with long flowing hair like women, which descended upon them, a great terror (trembling) seized the inhabitants. They were even more horrified when they saw the accurate and strong [Khazar] archers, whose arrows rained down upon them like heavy hailstones, and how they [Khazars], like ravenous wolves that had lost all shame, fell upon them and mercilessly slaughtered them on the streets and squares of the city. Their eyes had no mercy for neither the beautiful, nor handsome, nor the young men or women; they did not spare even the unfit, harmless, lame, nor old; they had no pity (compassion, regrets), and their hearts did not shrink at the sight of the babies embracing their murdered mothers; to the contrary, they suckled blood from their breasts like milk."
Ironically, the Sassanid ruler Khosrow I had married a Turkic princess to win an alliance with them so the two could destroy the Huns together in 560 CE at the Battle of Gol-Zarriun. Khosrow I chose his Turkic progeny, Hormizd IV, as ruler over his Persian children. From Iranica Online:
"Hormozd’s character displeased everyone. He antagonized the Zoroastrian clergy, allegedly killing many of them, even the chief mowbed, and alienated the nobility by killing thousands of them (Ṭabari, I, p. 991; tr., V, pp. 297-98; Balʿami, ed. Bahār, pp. 1072-73; Masʿudi, Moruj, ed. Pellat, sec. 632; Šāh-nāma, Moscow, VIII, pp. 319 ff.). In diplomacy he showed inflexibility, even poor judgement. He disrupted the peace negotiations with the Byzantines and made demands (payment of “tribute”) that the Romans could not accept (Menander, frag., 23.9-24-12529). His contemporary, Menander Protector, lamented that “the Romans and the Persians would have made peace, had not Ḵosrow left this life and his son, Hormisdas [Hormizd IV], a truly wicked man, assumed the crown” (tr., pp. 207-9)."
Finally the Sassanid Empire went into a civil war from 628-632 CE where it had become politically decentralized. The Plague of Sheroe also occurred in 627-628 CE, most heavily devastating the populations in the western provinces with some areas experiencing a 50% mortality rate. Afterward, the Arab Muslims flooded into an already ravaged Persia like bacteria infesting an open wound.

SAINT OF THE DAY (May 18)
On May 18, the Catholic Church honors the first “Pope John” in its history.
Saint John I was a martyr for the faith, imprisoned and starved to death by a heretical Germanic king during the sixth century.
He was a friend of the renowned Christian philosopher Boethius, who died in a similar manner.
Eastern Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians also honor Pope St. John I on the same date as the Roman Catholic Church.
The future Pope John I was born in Tuscany and served as an archdeacon in the Church for several years.
He was chosen to become the Bishop of Rome in 523, succeeding Pope St. Hormisdas.
During his papal reign, Italy was ruled by the Ostrogothic King Theodoric.
Like many of his fellow tribesmen, the king adhered to the Arian heresy, holding that Christ was a created being rather than the Second Person of the Holy Trinity.
Arianism had originated in the Eastern half of the Roman Empire during the fourth century and subsequently spread among the Western Goths.
By the sixth century, the heresy was weak in the East but not dead.
In 523, the Byzantine Emperor Justin I ordered Arian clergy to surrender their churches into orthodox Catholic hands.
In the West, meanwhile, Theodoric was angered by the emperor’s move and responded by trying to use the Pope’s authority for his own ends.
Pope John was thus placed in an extremely awkward position. Despite the Pope’s own solid orthodoxy, the Arian king seems to have expected him to intercede with the Eastern emperor on behalf of the heretics.
John’s refusal to satisfy King Theodoric would eventually lead to his martyrdom.
John did travel to Constantinople, where he was honored as St. Peter’s successor by the people, the Byzantine Emperor, and the Church’s legitimate Eastern patriarchs.
(The Church of Alexandria had already separated by this point.)
The Pope crowned the emperor and celebrated the Easter liturgy at the Hagia Sophia Church in April 526.
But while John could urge Justin to treat the Arians somewhat more mercifully, he could not make the kind of demands on their behalf that Theodoric expected.
The gothic king, who had recently killed John’s intellectually accomplished friend Boethius (honored by the Church as St. Severinus Boethius on October 23), was furious with the Pope when he learned of his refusal to support the Arians in Constantinople.
Already exhausted by his travels, the Pope was imprisoned in Ravenna and deprived of food.
The death of St. John I came on or around May 18, which became his feast day in the Byzantine Catholic tradition and in the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite.
In the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, he is celebrated on May 27, the date on which his exhumed body was returned to Rome for veneration in St. Peter’s Basilica.

Os Papas da Igreja nos 2000 anos
O Sagrado Magistério da Igreja é dirigido pelo Papa, sucessor de Pedro, Cabeça visível do Corpo de Cristo.
A história dos papas é, de certo modo, a história da própria Igreja. Apresentamos em seguida a relação dos Papas, desde Pedro até Francisco, conforme publicação oficial do Vaticano (atualizada). Apresentamos também a relação dos 37 antipapas; foram eleitos sem legitimidade. Esta longa cadeia de 267 Papas da Igreja católica é uma prova inequívoca da Instituição divina do papado, por Cristo, afim de manter a unidade da Igreja e da sua doutrina. Somente a graça de Deus poderia manter esta sucessão ininterrupta de papas, apesar de toda a miséria humana, da qual eles não foram isentos. Nenhuma instituição humana teve tão longa vida e estabilidade.

The Godfather: Part III (USA, 1990): 🙂
“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.”
A saga final de Michael Corleone. Me pareceu melhor do que eu me lembrava. De fato, Sofia Coppola como atriz é uma excelente diretora.
O filme trata da sucessão no Vaticano do papa Paulo VI para João Paulo I. Este, além de ser o primeiro a escolher um nome composto, quis também ter o “primeiro” no fim do nome. Eu achava que esse “primeiro” só aparecia depois que um outro papa escolhesse o mesmo nome pela segunda vez. Afinal de contas o atual se chama apenas Francisco e não Francisco I. Por causa disso fiquei curioso e resolvi fazer meus cinco minutos de pesquisa na Wikipedia acerca de todos os papas ao longo da história.
Encontrei uma lista de 266 papas até agora de São Pedro a Francisco. O apóstolo, aliás, foi o mais longevo de todos com um papado de cerca de 37 anos (do ano 30 ao ano 67). Apenas mais um (Pio IX) passou dos 30 anos e João Paulo II vem em terceiro nessa lista com mais de 26 anos. O tempo médio de pontificado é de 7 anos e 4 meses.
81 nomes já foram utilizados pelos papas sendo que 7 deles mais de 10 vezes:
João (x21), Bento (x17), Gregório (x16), Clemente (x14), Inocêncio (x13), Leão (x13) e Pio (x12).
Na minha opinião, os 15 nomes mais diferentes já utilizados são: Adeodato, Agapito, Agatão, Aniceto, Cónon, Dâmaso, Dono, Eutiquiano, Gelásio, Hormisda, Sabiniano, Símaco, Sirício, Sisínio e Telésforo.
A numeração após os nomes nem sempre é “certinha”. No passado existiu muito a figura do antipapa que, às vezes, entrava na lista e tomava um nome. Mais tarde, em novas revisões históricas, eles foram removidos e o nome acabou vago. Isso aconteceu com Félix II, João XVI, Bonifácio VII, Bento X e Alexandre V. Houve também casos em que, por conta de um erro qualquer, alguns nomes nunca existiram. Isso aconteceu com João XX, Martinho II e Martinho III.
Por fim, você deve estar se perguntando. Se “Bento” foi usado 17 vezes e Bento X foi um antipapa, como é possível que Joseph Ratzinger tenha sido Bento XVI? Não deveria ter sido XVIII? Acontece que o papa Bento IX aparece 3 vezes na lista! Em duas oportunidades ele foi expulso do cargo e, em outra, ele vendeu sua posição.

“CHARTRAND FOUND GUILTY OF ATTEMPT TO KILL CONSTABLE,” Montreal Gazette. June 7, 1933. Page 6.
-----
Jury Returns Verdict Against Bandit Without Leaving Their Places
====
TWO SENTENCES COMING
---
Shooting of Policeman Jacques Took Place During Hold-up of Store - Has Bad Record
---
At 3.20 o'clock yesterday afternoon is the court of King's Bench, Hormisdas Chartrand went on trial on a charge of attempting to murder Constable Jacques at 10 o'clock on the night of January 30, last, less than an hour later. 4.10 o'clock, a jury under Mr. Justice Charles A. Wilson, without retiring to deliberate returned a verdict of guilty against the accused who will he sentenced at the end
of the present term of the Assizes.
The prisoner has yet to be sentenced by a judge of the Court of Sessions on a charge of hold-up. out of which arose the attempted murder accusation, of which he was found guilty yesterday after of the speediest trials on record. Chartrand admitted to His Lordship that in 1927 he was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary for hold-up and that previous to that he had stood trial on a charge of murder but had been acquitted.
Story of the crime committed by Chartrand was told by Constable Jacqure and Constable Caron, and 1 Mr and Mrs. David Fine, 757 Aqueduct street. Fine, who owns grocery at the address mentioned, said he was alone with his wife in tho shop about 10 o'clock on the night of January 30, 1933, when the prisoner entered. "He had a revolver," witness related, "and wife he was going to shoot. He fired one shot on the ground. Turning to me ho told me to give him the money in the ash register--which I did. When ho walked out he grabbed four packages of cigarettes." Fine’s evidence was corroborated by his wife.
Constable Jacques picked up the threads of the story at this point. He said that he was patrolling Aqueduct street with Constable Caron and was attracted to Fine's grocery store by the shot which, as was the case, Chartrand had ftired on the ground. Jacques said he ordered Caron to the rear of the store, while he stationed himself outside the front door.
STORY OF CONSTABLE
“I was in civilian clothes," the constable stated, “but I had my revolver. When the accused emerged I ordered him to put his hands up at the point of my gun, but he had his gun ready, too, and fired at me three times. I yelled to Caron who came running from the rear and he knocked Chartrand to the ground." This evidence was corroborated by Caron.
Dr. Guy Johnston who attended Jacques at the Western Division of the Montreal General Hospital told the court that wounds inflicted on the constable had been caused by at least three bullets. He extracted one bullet from the man's chest, he said, only about one-half inch from the heart. The other wounds, he testified, were on Jacques' right shoulder and on the thumb of the right hand.
Chartrand himself took the stand as the only witness for the defence right at the outset of his testimony he admitted having deliberately shot Jacques twice in the hand. The other shot, for which he was also responsible, he said, was discharged accidentally.
In cases where accused are unrepresented by counsel, it is not customary for the Crown Prosecutor to deliver an address, Gerald Fauteux, K.C. upheld the custom and Mr. Justice Wilson in the course of a three-minutecharge
remarked to the jurors that he could not see any possible verdict other than one of guilty. Chartrand's evidence on the stand said His Lordship, was as complete an admission of guilt as he had ever heard. Jury returned their verdict without leaving their places.

162 years ago today, December 8, 1860, great-grandfather Joseph Hormisdas (also known as Joseph Arthur) Martin was baptized at Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu, Sainte-Hyacinthe, Québec, Canada. Joseph's middle name on his baptismal record and marriage record is Hormisdas. At the time of his naturalization in 1894, he was living at 341 Case Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. At the time of the 1900 Census, the Joseph Martin family was living at 122 Whitney Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, and in 1910, the family was living at 7540 Star Avenue, Cleveland. They were living on East 103rd Street, Cleveland, in 1920. He is probably the Joseph Martin listed in the 1930 census as an inmate at the Warrensville Correction Farm, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Joseph Martin died at his residence, 5144 Oakmont Drive, South Euclid, Ohio, in 1934.
According to one family tradition, Joseph Martin fell off a bicycle and hit his head, causing him some mental problems, although he had been very bright before the accident. Another family tradition says he fell off a train. He always wore a Derby hat in bed and always wore long underwear. Perhaps the Warrensville Correction Farm was not only for criminals, but also a place for people with mental illness.

"Is it a tragedeigh or a murghdur if each of your children have 10+ first names *and* 10+ middle names??
including their birth certificates and every official form AFAIK... they even teach their kids to write/spell all of their names from a relatively young age
[Edit: I have obviously not seen their official documents. I would love to discover that they had to shorten the names for the official papers. I can only tell you what friends & family were told]
Here are the names [ps i redacted their first names because of searchable birth announcements... plenty of names left to critique tho!]
'Some have inquired about our children's long names, so I've decided to share them. I often say all of them when they are in trouble because by the time I get to the end of the litany I'm not as upset with them anymore. But jokes aside, [spouse] and I are name nerds and etymology buffs, so there is always a really thoughtful, purposeful, and particular process when coming up with the names for our children.

SAINT OF THE DAY (May 18)
On May 18, the Catholic Church honors the first “Pope John” in its history.
Saint John I was a martyr for the faith, imprisoned and starved to death by a heretical Germanic king during the sixth century.
He was a friend of the renowned Christian philosopher, Boethius, who died in a similar manner.
Eastern Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians also honor Pope St. John I on the same date as the Roman Catholic Church.
The future Pope John I was born in Tuscany and served as an archdeacon in the Church for several years.
He was chosen to become the Bishop of Rome in 523, succeeding Pope St. Hormisdas.
During his papal reign, Italy was ruled by the Ostrogothic King Theodoric.
Like many of his fellow tribesmen, the king adhered to the Arian heresy, holding that Christ was a created being rather than the Second Person of the Holy Trinity.
Arianism had originated in the Eastern half of the Roman Empire during the fourth century and subsequently spread among the Western Goths.
By the sixth century, the heresy was weak in the East but not dead.
In 523, the Byzantine Emperor Justin I ordered Arian clergy to surrender their churches into orthodox Catholic hands.
In the West, meanwhile, Theodoric was angered by the emperor’s move and responded by trying to use the Pope’s authority for his own ends.
Pope John was thus placed in an extremely awkward position.
Despite the Pope’s own solid orthodoxy, the Arian king seemed to have expected him to intercede with the Eastern emperor on behalf of the heretics.
John’s refusal to satisfy King Theodoric would eventually lead to his martyrdom.
John did travel to Constantinople, where he was honored as St. Peter’s successor by the people, the Byzantine Emperor, and the Church’s legitimate Eastern patriarchs.
(The Church of Alexandria had already separated by this point.)
The Pope crowned the emperor and celebrated the Easter liturgy at the Hagia Sophia Church in April of 526.
While John could urge Justin to treat the Arians somewhat more mercifully, he could not make the kind of demands on their behalf that Theodoric expected.
The gothic king, who had recently killed John’s intellectually accomplished friend Boethius (honored by the Church as St. Severinus Boethius on October 23), was furious with the Pope when he learned of his refusal to support the Arians in Constantinople.
Already exhausted by his travels, the Pope was imprisoned in Ravenna and deprived of food.
The death of St. John I came on or around May 18, which became his feast day in the Byzantine Catholic tradition and in the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite.
In the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, he is celebrated on May 27, the date on which his exhumed body was returned to Rome for veneration in St. Peter’s Basilica.
