3 days ago | thetablet.co.uk | Ellen Teague

Conditions in Gaza have reached “catastrophic levels”, according the regional director of a papal agency operating in the region.

Exhibition: Feel the Sound at the Barbican cranks up the volume

1 week ago | thetablet.co.uk | Alexandra Coghlan

Feel the Sound at the Barbican Centre, London Sound is an aggressor when you live in a city. It invades buses and trains in a shriek of TikTok videos and phone calls, pushes into our homes in the whir of the bin lorry, the bang and screech of our neighbour’s building work. It swells in restaurants, rustles and coughs in church. A new exhibition at the Barbican Centre promises to “transform how we think about sound” – but it ends up just adding to the noise.

Global firms scored an average of 30/62, compared to 36/62 for UK companies.

Out walked Pope Leo XIV, and I thought, I have no idea who that man is

Owing to the wild success of The Tablet podcast that I record with Ruth Gledhill (what do you mean you haven’t seen it?) I had been interviewed on Sky News occasionally during the conclave, a sort of tattooed, less balanced Austen Ivereigh. His first official appointment was a woman, Sr Tiziana Merletti, as secretary at the Dicastery for Religious, which made me sit up because her congregation’s habit does not include a veil.

Employment rates are historically high but even so, poverty has been rising steadily in the UK for two decades, according to a new SVP report, The hidden crisis of in-work poverty – a frontline perspective. The society records a “significant increase” in working individuals and families needing support across England and Wales and challenges the assumption that “work alone is a reliable route out of poverty”.

Pope Leo XIV marked the tenth anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’ on Sunday, describing it as “extraordinarily popular, inspiring countless initiatives and teaching everyone to listen to the twofold cry of the earth and of the poor”.

2 weeks ago | thetablet.co.uk | Harry Eyres

For a biography of Horace, the Augustan poet known as the exponent of aurea mediocritas or the golden mean, “Poet on a Volcano” seems an oddly melodramatic subtitle. Far from being a poet of molten emotions, Horace has more often been seen as a placid country gentleman, lover of wine, women, boys – less often mentioned – and song, though never to excess.
