Download or read book The Popes on Air written by Raffaella Perin and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the origin of Vatican Radio provides a unique look at the history of World War II The book offers the first wide-ranging study on the history of Vatican Radio from its origins (1931) to the end of Pius XII’s pontificate (1958) based on unpublished sources. The opening of the Secret Vatican Archives on the records regarding Pius XII will shed light on the most controversial pontificate of the 20th century. Moreover, the recent rearrangement of the Vatican media provided the creation of a multimedia archive that is still in Fieri. This research is an original point of view on the most relevant questions concerning these decades: the relation of the Catholic Church with the Fascist regimes and Western democracies; the attitude toward anti-Semitism and the Shoah in Europe, and in general toward the total war; the relationship of the Holy See with the new media in the mass society; the questions arisen in the after-war period such as the Christian Democratic Party in Italy; the new role of women; and anti-communism and the competition for the consensus in the social and moral order in a secularized society.

This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La figura degli agenti a Roma per promuovere casi presso la Sede Apostolica è apparsa finora solo in pubblicazioni relative alla prima età moderna e moderna. Grazie ad esse sappiamo che rappresentavano gli interessi di diverse entità ecclesiastiche: diocesi, capitoli cattedrali, monasteri, priorati, chierici. Inoltre rispondevano agli interessi dei loro sovrani e trasmettevano a questi, come agli ecclesiastici di cui sopra, notizie dal centro della cristianità. Alcuni risiedevano stabilmente a Roma, altri vi rimanevano fino al compimento dell’incarico assegnatogli. Armati solitamente di una buona conoscenza del diritto canonico e di una certa fluenza in latino e italiano, nonché di ottime capacità retoriche, dovevano far passare il caso affidatogli attraverso il labirinto della burocrazia papale. Come è cambiato questo ruolo nel XVIII-XX secolo? Gli agenti hanno allora continuato ad avere una funzione cruciale nei rapporti con la Curia Romana, rappresentando gli interessi di comunità e personalità ecclesiastiche e raccogliendo informazioni per queste e per il proprio Stato, oppure il loro lavoro è diventato del tutto invisibile, ripetitivo e amministrativo? Hanno continuato a risiedere nella Città eterna oppure hanno agito da e in altre città pontificie. Inoltre l’attività romana o italiana è stata solo un episodio della loro biografia oppure hanno svolto regolarmente questa funzione, trasformandola in un vero e proprio lavoro trasmesso in famiglia per più generazioni? Qualcuno di loro è riuscito a costruirsi una carriera in patria o a Roma e ha utilizzato a tal scopo la rete di relazioni forgiate come agente? Questo secondo volume della ricerca italo-ungherese sugli agenti cerca di rispondere alle questioni delle righe precedenti e a definire l’attività degli agenti in Curia durante i secoli più recenti.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La «trama nascosta» è quella che emerge dalla ricostruzione delle vicende di alcuni personaggi qui osservati, pur nell’ambito delle specifiche competenze, nelle vesti di tramiti di trasferimenti “culturali”. In uno spazio che è quello dell’Europa meno fittamente abitata, che nei suoi confini dilatati si apre a est. A ben vedere, più o meno, l’Europa entrata con il nuovo millennio nell’Unione Europea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Polish crisis in the early 1980s provoked a great deal of reaction in the West. Not only governments, but social movements were also touched by the establishment of the Iindependent Trade Union Solidarnosc in the summer of 1980, the proclamation of martial law in December 1981, and Solidarnosc's underground activity in the subsequent years. In many countries, campaigns were set up in order to spread information, raise funds, and provide the Polish opposition with humanitarian relief and technical assistance. Labor movements especially stepped into the limelight. A number of Western European unions were concerned about the new international tension following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the new hard-line policy of the US and saw Solidarnosc as a political instrument of clerical and neo-conservative cold warriors. This book analyzes reaction to Solidarnosc in nine Western European countries and within the international trade union confederations. It argues that Western solidarity with Solidarnosc was highly determined by its instrumental value within the national context. Trade unions openly sided with Solidarnosc when they had an interest in doing so, namely when Solidarnosc could strengthen their own program or position. But this book also reveals that reaction in allegedly reluctant countries was massive, albeit discreet, pragmatic, and humanitarian, rather than vocal, emotional, and political.

Download or read book The Man Who Could Fly written by Michael Grosso and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Joseph of Copertino began having mystical visions at the age of seven, but it was not until he began practicing his faith as a Franciscan priest that he realized the full potential of his mind’s power over his body—he was able to levitate. Throughout his priesthood St. Joseph became famous for frequent levitations that were observed on hundreds of occasions and by thousands of witnesses, including many skeptics. Michael Grosso delves into the biography of the saint to explore the many strange phenomena that surrounded his life and develops potential physical explanations for some of the most astounding manifestations of his religious ecstasy. Grosso draws upon contemporary explorations into cognition, the relationship between the human mind and body, and the scientifically recorded effects of meditation and other transcendent practices to reveal the implications of St. Joseph’s experiences and abilities.

Book excerpt: By shedding light on an often-overlooked aspect of Fascism and Nazism, this book examines the ambitious plans for a new European order conceived by Italian intellectuals, historians, geographers, politicians, and even student representative of the Fascist University Groups (GUF). Through expert reconstruction of the debate on this envisaged order’s development, Monica Fioravanzo opens a window into the theoretical arena that shaped relationships between German, Italy and the other Axis nations and provides insight into how the project was anticipated to unite the Fascist regime in Italy and the Nazi Reich.

Download or read book I Collegi per stranieri a e Roma nell et moderna written by Alessandro Boccolini and published by Edizioni Sette Città. This book was released on 2023-05-10 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lo studio della formazione nella prima età moderna di un numero notevole di collegi romani o comunque sotto la supervisione di Roma, dove si doveva formare il clero dei paesi eurpei ed extra-europei, offre due interessanti possibilità ai ricercatori. In primo luogo permetee di seguire le strategie della Santa Sede per diffondere e difendere la fede cattolica in Europa e in Medio Oriente. In secondo luogo facilita l'analisi della cospicua presenza straniera nella città, perché spesso tali collegi divenivano il fulcro di veri e propri gruppi immigrati. Queste due prospettive possono essere incrociate e comparate su scala europea, poiché i collegi romani non erano a sé stanti, ma facevano parte di reti continentali, ben rivelate dalle carte dell'Archivio storico di Propaganda Fide.
