A Virtual Reconstruction of the Abbey of Cluny
NLM | October 1, 2025
Here’s another big win for the YouTube suggestion algorithm, a new documentary about the building of the third church of the abbey of Cluny, which for over 500 years was the longest church in the world, until it was replaced by the new St Peter’s basilica. Very little of the building remains today, but this documentary gives a very nice virtual reconstruction of it, with a lot of historical details about how it was built, and information which modern archeological research has uncovered about the building the process.
There are two errors that I (and others, in the YouTube comments) have spotted. One is a just slip of the tongue - the abbey was founded in 910, not 1910. The other (41:50) is that the Pope who consecrated the church in 1095 was Bl. Urban II, not Innocent II, whose reign began 35 years later. It has to be said that a lot of the music is too dramatic, and, as has become a general problem with documentaries, some things are said at greater length than is really necessary, but on the whole, I think you will find it well worth your time.

Leo XIV's Conference "Directly Connected" to Agenda 2030

Yesterday, Pope Leo XIV embarrassed himself with a eco-conference in Castel Gandolfo, which included a neo-pagan water ceremony.
According to the introduction speakers, the event was "directly connected" to COP30. This refers to the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which will take place in Brazil. It is part of the broader Agenda 2030.
Some of the speakers have direct roles in COP30. For example, Marina Silva is Brazil’s environment minister. She praised the Paris Agreement and the promise of $1.3 trillion in climate funding.
Other speakers and entertainers were outdated or relatively unknown figures, such as 78-year-old politician Arnold Schwarzenegger. Pop starlets Adonique Adewale and Michelle McManus performed songs with emotional lyrics inspired by UN slogans, such as:
“We choose peace, oh-eh-oh, oh-eh-oh … Peace out, everybody.”
"Rise up, we're a million different colors dancing to the beat."
The event's buzzwords were "integral ecology," "universal fraternity," and the "common home."
Leo XIV: "Ecological Conversion is Conversion to God"
Pope Leo XIV himself spoke as if he were a United Nations chaplain: He called for an "ecological conversion": "For believers, this conversion is no different from the one that orients us toward the living God."
His goal is to "bring the whole human family together to seek sustainable and integral development."
Quoting Francis, Leo XIV - the Pope of the Church - expects "the most effective solution above all from political decisions".
Leo XIV: "Pressure on Governments for More Regulations and Controls"
Leo XIV added that everyone, through NGOs and advocacy groups, "must put pressure on governments to develop regulations, procedures, and controls."
He revealed himself to be a staunch disciple of the United Nations: "It is my hope that the upcoming international summits of the United Nations — the 2025 Climate Change Conference (COP 30), the 53 Plenary Session of the Committee on World Food Security, and the 2026 Water Conference — will listen to the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor [...]."
