The Vulgate Bible - A “Betrayal” of the Word of God?

Injustice can penetrate even the most unsuspected areas of human culture. The proof is that it has infiltrated proverbs, as exemplified by the Italian adage: “Traduttore traditore – The translator is a traitor.” But, despite the insult it casts on the honourable profession, this aphorism has its grain of truth. …

Some Sophisms of the Contemporary World - I let the reader choose the title of this article

In one of his famous brilliant quotes, Joseph De Maistre makes the following analogy: “False opinions are like false money, originally struck by criminals and thereafter circulated by honest people, who perpetuate the crime without knowing what they are doing.”1 These “coins”, in general, have a name: sophisms.

The Mendicant Emperor and the Omnipotent Poor Man

The scenes illustrated on these pages depict one of the most astounding events in history, not only of the Church, but of civilization itself. It is so emblematic that it marked minds and eras since its occurrence in the 11th century. Much of this symbolic significance is concentrated in the …
