Greetings from Saint Peters Square!

Father Roderick 2023-12-17 | A short video at the end of the Angelus prayer on the 87th anniversary of Pope Francis!

Come With Me To Rome For Christmas!

Father Roderick 2023-12-15 | Have you ever wanted to be in Rome for Christmas? To see the Christmas decorations in the streets around the Vatican and to visit the Nativity Scene underneath the big Christmas tree on Saint Peter's Square? If so, join me on a special audio and video tour of Rome this upcoming week!

Rome is where it all started

You may remember that my journey into the world of podcasting and social media started one winter morning in 2005 when I recorded my first audio podcast near Saint Peter's Square. I never imagined that that day would be the start of an amazing journey around the world and across the internet. And I'm stunned that hundreds of thousands of people have been following my adventures up until today!

The Nativity Scene on Saint Peter's Square

This upcoming week, I want to go back to the place where it all started, to say a prayer of thanksgiving near the nativity scene in the Vatican for all the wonderful people I have met along the way. And to ask for wisdom, inspiration and God's providence to help me continue this ministry next year.

I want to share this journey with you in the same way it all began: by recording my Christmas journey through audio and video. So you can be there with me and experience the anticipation for the advent of our Savior through podcasts and vlogs.

Where can you find these stories?

I will share them on my Patreon page at

Patreon.com/FatherRoderick

You can join the community for FREE, and get notified when I post a new story. Of course, if you'd like to help me financially (and I could really use your support) you can also pick a tier starting at $2.50/month.

I wish you a wonderful Christmas time and I hope you join me in Rome!

Star Wars on the Apple Vision Pro - My Reaction!

Father Roderick 2023-06-07 | The future of Star Wars may have become a LOT more exciting with the advent of the Apple Vision Pro. Let me explain!

At WWDC 2023, Apple revealed the Apple Vision Pro, a high-end AR/VR headset. None other than Bob Iger came on stage to announce that Disney Plus would be available on the Apple Vision Pro from day one. And the first thing he showed was how people could experience Star Wars content on the headset. The demo contains a lot of details that reveal how Disney intends to bring that Galaxy Far, Far Away to this brand new platform. And it may well go far beyond just watching the Mandalorian on a virtual screen!

In this video, I analyse Iger's demonstration and I speculate how the Apple Vision Pro could revolutionize the way in which we experience Star Wars in the near future.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments and follow for more!
