Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superbia, avarizia, lussuria, pedofilia: gli scandali e i segreti della Chiesa cattolica Dall’autore dei bestseller La santa casta della Chiesa e L’oro del Vaticano Nei suoi duemila anni di vita la Chiesa cattolica si è prodigata nel combattere il vizio e nel punire con la scomunica e in molti casi con la morte chiunque fosse accusato di non attenersi alla morale cristiana. Ma coloro che tuonano contro i peccatori sono immacolati e irreprensibili? Claudio Rendina ripercorre la storia della Chiesa e svela tutti i vizi capitali, i peccati e le colpe di cui si è macchiata nel corso del tempo, dalla strage dei musulmani e degli Albigesi nelle sante crociate, alla persecuzione degli ebrei e delle streghe fino agli scandali contemporanei. Un percorso peccaminoso che parte dall’assunzione sacrilega del potere temporale e prosegue con le lotte per il trono pontificio, passando per il nepotismo, il traffico delle reliquie e la simonia. Una sequela di misfatti e riprovevoli vizi che non si è conclusa, come dimostrano i tanti casi di pedofilia di cui si parla ancora troppo poco. Svelando senza più censure i segreti e le malefatte del Vaticano, Rendina offre un’analisi chiara, sistematica e coraggiosa, al termine della quale suonerà quanto mai ironica la sentenza del Dictatus Papae emesso da Gregorio VII nel 1075 e mai abrogata fino a oggi: «La Chiesa romana non ha mai sbagliato né mai in futuro sbaglierà, come testimonia la Sacra Scrittura».

Download or read book Crime Fiction in the City written by Lucy Andrew and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime Fiction in the City: Capital Crimes expands upon previous studies of the urban space and crime by reflecting on the treatment of the capital city, a repository of authority, national identity and culture, within crime fiction. This wide-ranging collection looks at capital cities across Europe, from the more traditional centres of power - Paris, Rome and London - to Europe's most northern capital, Stockholm, and also considers the newly devolved capitals, Dublin, Edinburgh and Cardiff. The texts under consideration span the nineteenth-century city mysteries to contemporary populist crime fiction. The collection opens with a reflective essay by Ian Rankin and aims to inaugurate a dialogue between Anglophone and European crime writing; to explore the marginalised works of Irish and Welsh writers alongside established European crime writers and to interrogate the relationship between fact and fiction, creativity and criticism, within the crime genre.

Download or read book Modern Rome written by Italo Insolera and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-23 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After fifty years and fifteen editions and reprints in Italy, this classic, groundbreaking work in the field of historical urban studies is now published in English. A masterful, fluent narrative leads the reader through the last two centuries in the history of the Eternal City, capital of the Papal State, then of the united Italy, first under the monarchy and subsequently the republic. Rome’s chaotic growth and often ineffective urban planning, almost invariably overpowered by building speculation, can find an opportunity for future redemption in a vibrant multicultural society and the enhancement of an unequalled archaeological heritage with the ancient Appian Way as its spine. With respect to the last Italian edition of 2011, the volume is updated, enriched in text, indexes, maps and photographs. Historians, urban planners, architects, decision makers, university students, and anyone who is interested in one of the world’s most intriguing cities will enjoy this book.
Download or read book The Spirit of Vatican II written by Gerd-Rainer Horn and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vatican II profoundly changed the outlook and the message of the Catholic Church. After decades, if not centuries, in which Catholic public opinion appeared to be primarily oriented towards the distant past and bygone societal models, suddenly the Catholic Church embraced the world as it was, and it joined in the struggle to create a radiant future. The Sixties were a time of great socio-cultural and political ferment in Europe as a whole. Especially the second half of the 1960s and the first half of the 1970s witnessed an astounding range of 'new' and 'old' social movements reaching for the sky. Catholic activists provided fuel to the fire in more ways than one. Catholics had embarked on the quest for new horizons for some years prior to the sudden growth of secular activism in and around the magic year of 1968. When secular radicals joined up with Catholic activists, a seemingly unstoppable dynamic was unleashed. This book covers five crucial contributions by Catholic communities to the burgeoning atmosphere of those turbulent years: a) the theological innovations of Vatican II, which made such an unprecedented engagement of Catholics possible in the first place, but also post-conciliar theological developments; b) the resurgence of the worker priest experiment, and the first-ever creation of autonomous organisations of radical parish priests; c) the simultaneous creation of grassroots organisations - base communities - by (mostly) lay activists across the continent; d) the crucial roles of Catholic students in the multiform student movements shaping Europe in these years; e) the indispensable contributions of Catholic workers who helped shape - and often initiated - the wave of militant contestations shaking up labour relations after 1968.

Download or read book Vernacular Theology written by Eliana Corbari and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the audiences and languages of Dominican sermons in late medieval Italy. It is a thorough analysis of how Latinate theological culture interacted with popular religious devotion. In particular it assesses the role of vernacular theology. Eliana Corbari defines vernacular theology as a form of theology that is based neither on a Latin scholastic model nor a monastic one. It is a “third dimension” of theology which was accessible to the laity, and in particular women, through their attendance at sermons and the reading of vernacular devotional works (in this case, medieval Italian treatises and sermons). Through painstaking manuscript work, Corbari makes an excellent contribution to sermon studies, gender studies, medieval theology, and codicology. She demonstrates that Dominican friars preached to an active contingent of laywomen, usually members of confraternities, who not only attended these sermons but re-read them and also disseminated them through book production to the wider Florentine community.
Download or read book Redefining Christian Identity written by Jan J. Ginkel and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural interaction in the Middle East since the Rise of Islam - such was the title of a combined research project of the Universities of Leiden and Groningen aimed at describing the various ways in which the Christian communities of the Middle East expressed their distinct cultural identity in Muslim societies. As part of the project the symposium "Redefining Christian Identity, Christian cultural strategies since the rise of Islam" took place at Groningen University on April 7-10, 1999. This book contains the proceedings of this conference. From the articles it becomes clear that a number of distinct "cultural strategies" can be identified, some of which were used very frequently, others only in certain groups or at particular periods of time. The three main strategies that are represented in the papers of this volume are: (i) reinterpretation of the pre-Islamic Christian heritage; (ii) inculturation of elements from the new Islamic context; (iii) isolation from the Islamic context. Viewed in time, it is clear that the reinterpretation of older Christian heritage was particularly important in the first two centuries after the rise of Islam, the seventh and eighth centuries, that inculturation was the dominant theme of the Abbasid period, in the ninth to twelfth centuries, whereas from the Mongol period onwards, from the thirteenth to the eighteenth centuries, isolation more and more often occurs, although inculturation of elements from the predominantly Muslim environment never came to a complete standstill.

Book excerpt: Tre libri che nessun Papa ti farebbe mai leggere «La storia segreta e nascosta dello Stato Vaticano.» Corrado Augias, il Venerdì di Repubblica La Chiesa Cattolica combatte il vizio e punisce chi non si attiene alla morale cristiana. O almeno così sostiene il Vaticano. Ma coloro che tuonano contro i peccatori sono immacolati e irreprensibili? La loro storia è costellata di episodi che hanno ben poco a che vedere con la fede. Sin da quando alle faccende di spirito si è affiancata l’attività commerciale e finanziaria, un’ombra di peccato e di colpa ha oscurato le gerarchie ecclesiastiche. Questo volume raccoglie tre saggi di grande successo: La santa casta della Chiesa, I peccati del Vaticano, L’oro del Vaticano. L’autore passa in rassegna tutti i vizi capitali, i peccati e le colpe di cui il Vaticano si è macchiato. La strage dei musulmani e degli Albigesi, la persecuzione degli ebrei e delle streghe; poi il denaro accumulato dallo Stato Pontificio dalle origini al 1870, la fondazione degli istituti bancari dello IOR e dell’APSA... Duemila anni di malaffare e scandali, di delitti e crimini, di privilegi acquisiti o venduti a caro prezzo. Tre libri in un unico volume sui segreti più scottanti e bui della Santa Sede e del Vaticano «Claudio Rendina, con la sua prosa asciutta, ci accompagna come Virgilio nei gironi infernali dei sette (e più) vizi capitali della Chiesa.» Brunella Schisa, Il Venerdì di Repubblica «Claudio Rendina ricostruisce il business del Vaticano.

Download or read book Preaching and Inquisition in Renaissance Italy written by Giorgio Caravale and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As has been well documented, the printed word was an essential vehicle for the transmission of reformed theology, and one that has left a tangible record for historians to explore. Yet as contemporaries well recognized, books were only a part of the process. It was the spoken word – and especially preaching – that created the demand for printed works. Sermons were the plough that prepared the ground for Lutheran literature to flourish. In order to better understand the relationship between oral sermons and the spread of protestant ideas, Preaching and Inquisition in Renaissance Italy draws upon the records of the Roman Inquisition to see how that institution confronted the challenges of reform on the Italian peninsula in the sixteenth century. At the heart of its subject matter is the increasingly sophisticated rhetorical skill of heterodox preachers at the time, who achieved their ends by silence and omission rather than positive affirmations of Lutheran tenets.
