Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chief Minister to King Louis XIII, Cardinal Richelieu was the architect of a new France in the seventeenth century and the force behind the nation's rise as a European power. One of the first statesmen to clearly understand the necessity of a balance of powers, he has captured the imagination of generations, both through the story of his life and through Alexandre Dumas's portrayal of him as a ruthless political mastermind in the classic The Three Musketeers. Jean-Vincent Blanchard's rich and insightful new biography brings Richelieu fully to life in all his complexity. His careful understanding of politics as spectacle speaks to contemporary readers; much of what he accomplished was promoted strategically through his great passion for theater and literature. ƒminence offers a rich portrait of a fascinating man and his era, and gives us a keener understanding of the dark art of politics. "Blanchard's captivating biography vividly captures the rise to power of a seminal figure who was instrumental in creating France as we know it."-Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Lovers of intrigue and derring-do will enjoy Jean-Vincent Blanchard's Eminence ... [His] lively style will appeal to general readers, while history buffs will appreciate his careful footnotes and plethora of primary sources."-The Baltimore Sun

Download or read book The Priest and the Cardinal written by William H. Dubay and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As racial tensions in Los Angeles were escalating in the 1960s, a young Catholic priest, William DuBay, held a press conference in which he asked Pope Paul VI to remove Cardinal McIntyre from office as Archbishop of Los Angeles because of his opposition to the civil-rights movement. The next four chapters describe the conflicts with the Cardinal that led up to that shocking departure from accepted protocol. The last three chapters describe the aftermath of the press conference including the publication of DuBay's book, The Human Church. This work highlighted the structural faults in the Church that were causing the exodus of millions of Catholics, priests, and nuns from the Church. In a few years, one out of ten Americans would be ex-Catholic. As the story will show, DuBay was not acting alone, but always supported by many others, including fellow priests and a dedicated group of laypeople called Catholics United for Racial Equality (CURE). This is their story, too.

Download or read book Grey Eminence written by Aldous Huxley and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-10-31 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping biography by the author of Brave New World The life of Father Joseph, Cardinal Richelieu's aide, was a shocking paradox. After spending his days directing operations on the battlefield, Father Joseph would pass the night in prayer, or in composing spiritual guidance for the nuns in his care. He was an aspirant to sainthood and a practising mystic, yet his ruthless exercise of power succeeded in prolonging the unspeakable horrors of the Thirty Years' War. In his masterful biography, Huxley explores how an intensely religious man could lead such a life and how he reconciled the seemingly opposing moral systems of religion and politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of His Eminence Cardinal Wiseman: First Archbishop of Westminster, &C. &C Nearly a century has elapsed since the first attempt was made by the Legislature of England to relieve the Catholics of this country from the penal laws under which they had been oppressed since the "Reformation." The Relief Bill was followed by a storm of popular frenzy and violence, and the Metropolis was for some days delivered up to mob law. It seemed almost hopeless to expect that any further measures would be taken to grant civil rights to the depressed and insignificant body who still remained firm in their attachment to the old faith. At this juncture the Almighty's scourge fell upon a neighbouring nation, and England, who ignored and oppressed her Catholic subjects at home, opened wide her arms to receive the bands of foreign professors of that faith who fled from the tyranny of an infidel oligarchy. In return for this hospitality shown to hundreds of pious, learned, and zealous ecclesiastics, the Almighty would seem to have chosen them to commence the great work of rekindling the faith in this country, which had been brought to our Saxon forefathers by the Roman Augustine at the word of Pope Gregory. While the French refugees were at their holy labours, from the mansions of the noble and wealthy to the obscure alleys of our cities and towns, Divine Providence called forth a child from a famed city of the distant peninsula to return to the land of his fathers to prepare to take his part in the great religious revival of the commencement of the century, and to become at the middle of it the first Primate of the restored hierarchy. This child - the subject of this memoir - was Nicholas Wiseman, son of the late James Wiseman, merchant, of Waterford and of Seville, in which latter city he was born on the 2nd of August, 1802. The family of Wiseman is one of considerable antiquity, and they appear to have had lands in the county of Essex since the reign of Edward IV.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of adventures wilder and more fantastic than the wildest of romances, written down with the exactitude of a business diary; a view of men and cities from Naples to Berlin, from Madrid and London to Constantinople and St. Petersburg; the 'vie intime' of the eighteenth century depicted by a man, who to-day sat with cardinals and saluted crowned heads, and tomorrow lurked in dens of profligacy and crime; a book of confessions penned without reticence and without penitence; a record of forty years of "occult" charlatanism; a collection of tales of successful imposture, of 'bonnes fortunes', of marvellous escapes, of transcendent audacity, told with the humour of Smollett and the delicate wit of Voltaire. Who is there interested in men and letters, and in the life of the past, who would not cry, "Where can such a book as this be found?" Yet the above catalogue is but a brief outline, a bare and meager summary, of the book known as "THE MEMOIRS OF CASANOVA"; a work absolutely unique in literature. He who opens these wonderful pages is as one who sits in a theatre and looks across the gloom, not on a stage-play, but on another and a vanished world. Giacomo Casanova (1725-1798) was an Italian adventurer and author from the Republic of Venice. He often signed his works Jacques Casanova de Seingalt after he began writing in French following his second exile from Venice. He has become so famous for his often complicated and elaborate affairs with women that his name is now synonymous with "womanizer". He associated with European royalty, popes and cardinals, along with luminaries such as Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, Goethe, and Mozart.
