A Vatican Atlantic Alliance
As a result of the cooperation between the Holy See and Washington in the containment of Communism and the work of charity and assistance, at the end of World War II several priests and bishops from the United States assumed quite significant roles in papal diplomacy. These included Msgr. Walter S. Carroll in the Vatican Secretariat of State (1940-1950), Msgr. Aloisius Joseph Muench in Germany (1946-1959), Msgr. Joseph Patrick Hurley in Yugoslavia (1945-1950) and Rev. Edward J. Killion in Geneva (1947-1953). This book examines the activity of these actors during the years of Pius XII’s pontificate. The contributors include historians who have previously addressed the general aspects of the Holy See’s diplomatic strategy, as well as archivists familiar with Vatican documents relating to Pius XII’s pontificate.
Metairie
A surprising journey through the history and growth of this large city neighboring New Orleans. While New Orleans is recognized the world over for the French Quarter and Mardi Gras, Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans, is not as well known. But Metairie has a rich history all its own. What was described two centuries ago as “a tongue of land to lend pasturage” has become the second largest unincorporated city in the nation. The explorer La Salle noticed the river bend that is now Metairie when he descended and ascended the Mississippi River in the spring of 1682. Almost simultaneously with the founding of New Orleans in 1718, John Law’s Company of the West began granting land to European...
Milton, the sublime and dramas of choice
Milton, the Sublime and Dramas of Choice challenges readers and scholars to rethink Milton’s relationship to the sublime in terms of ethics. The book demonstrates that Milton’s sublimity merges the early modern reception of Longinus with classical, medieval, and Renaissance categories of magnanimity, wonder, and inspiration to investigate the relations between human and divine agency. Under the influence of early modern models of sublimity, including Spenser and Shakespeare, Milton speaks through his fictional characters about the making of heroic and literary virtue. In turn, the work also sheds light on the importance of tragedy as an additional source to the formation of the Renaissan...
Towards 1968
Si può parlare di un «Sessantotto cattolico»? E se è esistito, è stato solo una componente della contestazione giovanile, irrilevante e risucchiata dall’attrazione a sinistra, oppure si è trattato di un fenomeno consistente, caratterizzato da dinamiche specifiche e ramificato a livello europeo, se non su scala globale? Quali ne sono i riferimenti culturali, le reti di collegamento, i momenti e i luoghi in cui si è sviluppata una riflessione comune? Esiste davvero, insomma, una sorta di filo rosso che unisce gli studenti della JEC parigina e gli universitari cattolici che a Madrid scendono in piazza contro Franco, le avanguardie cattoliche della contestazione belga e gli studenti ita...

Da Bergoglio a Francesco
Sono trascorsi nove anni dal 13 marzo 2013, allorché il cardinale Jorge Mario Bergoglio è divenuto papa con il nome di Francesco. Il pontefice latinoamericano ha raccolto una difficile eredità: quella di una Chiesa piegata dallo scandalo mondiale della pedofilia del clero, dai disastri delle finanze vaticane, dai traffici di Vatileaks. In pochi anni il Papa è riuscito nel miracolo e ha modificato, agli occhi del mondo, l’immagine di una Chiesa inaffidabile e corrotta. Nondimeno questo non gli ha risparmiato critiche ed incomprensioni di consistenti settori del mondo cattolico. Le accuse, soprattutto da parte di componenti della Chiesa nordamericana e di gruppi tradizionalisti e conserv...
La libertà religiosa in Messico
A più di cento anni dalla promulgazione della costituzione di Querétaro (5 febbraio 1917), considerata una delle più anticlericali di tutto il Novecento, l’ostilità verso la libertà delle fedi religiose di agire come tali nello spazio pubblico continua a rappresentare un tratto distintivo della società messicana, nonostante le riforme costituzionali che nel 1992 e nel 2013 hanno cercato di adeguare la disciplina interna del diritto di libertà religiosa agli standard riconosciuti a livello internazionale. Ancora oggi il Messico, come ai tempi della guerra cristera del 1926-1929, è uno dei luoghi più pericolosi al mondo dove esercitare il ministero sacerdotale, in particolare nelle ...
Madness and Revolution
‘An impure Joan of Arc’ or ‘a radiant Penthesilea’—Theroigne de Mericourt remains one of the most misrepresented figures of the French revolution. Theroigne loved the Revolution; she refused the roles prescribed by her sex; and, at the age of thirty-one, she lost her reason. From these three facts, historians have woven tenacious myths about women, madness and revolution which reveal more about their own phantasms and allegiances than about Theroigne herself. Elisabeth Roudinesco’s exploration of Theroigne’s life and afterlife restores a much-wronged woman to her rightful place in history. After vividly tracing Theroigne’s life, Roudinesco applies psychoanalysis to history, and history to psychiatry. She analyses the founding fathers of the asylum and the historians of the French Revolution, using their own assessments of Theroigne as revealing evidence. Her book adds a new dimension to our understanding of the French Revolution, early feminism and the birth of the modern asylum.
