Extravagance or Boldness

The Ancien Régime – as the political and social system in France during the period immediately preceding the Revolution of 1789 came to be known – was a complex era.

Admiration, Service and Sacrifice Pervaded with Joy

The heroic demonstrations of faith that are given in Africa demand our respect and inspire our veneration. If naivety had led us to imagine that the age of martyrs was relegated to history books, and to forget that we will have tribulations in this world (cf. Jn 16:33), our African …

All… Except One!

By Jupiter, what a good idea Vipsanius Agrippa had when he built this temple! The Pantheon: what majesty, what conviction, what strength! And – between you and me – what a masterstroke… Agrippa well deserves to have his name engraved on its portico. “Dignus Roma locus, quo deus omnis eat …

Manipulated Morality?

Affinity

Portrayed by their contemporaries, the facial features of the two men illustrated on these pages – who, without ever having met one another, were perhaps the greatest antagonists in the 16th century – are impressive for their eloquence. * * * St. Ignatius of Loyola, in the prime of his …

Two Attitudes… One Person?

Nothing could be more enchanting than the Gospel scene in which we find Our Lord Jesus Christ surrounded by children so that the Saviour might“lay His hands on them and pray” (Mt 19:13). The disciples, concerned for the Master’s tranquillity, try to send them away… However, Jesus rebukes them and …

Two Ways of “being god”?

Here are two artistic representations, each portraying a different god, as conceived by their respective worshippers. The first depicts the god Moloch at the apex of the ritual proper to him. The second is an image of Our Lord Jesus Christ that presides over the entrance door of Amiens Cathedral …
