We may trace the beginning of Latin American poverty and economic subordination to Bolivar’s policy of garnering support by indebting his embryonic state.
The Three Kings represent the truth-seekers of the earth, the rulers of the ‘pagan’ realm, the lands which had not yet seen God but were nonetheless expecting the coming of the Lord.
It’s obvious Proust knew a great deal about art and architecture and music; he was a keen observer of human behavior, but he can take a moment and turn it into an eternity.
Russia and China conceive of the emerging multipolar world in different ways despite their substantial convergence in opposition to Western unipolarity.
Pope Benedict’s expansive mind formed me in the humane habits of awareness that harmonise the intellect and the affectivity of the heart with the culture and civilisation that is our proper inheritance.
Why was Bangha remembered by the Jewish press as an ‘enemy of racism’ if his papers were full of anti-Semitism in the early 1920s? The answer seems to lie in his understanding of the role of Catholicism in public life.
The modern mind, which reduces everything to a means—a mere apparatus of use—subordinates even God to such a perverse conception of reality.
