Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Money God: Or the Empire and the Papacy, a Tale of the Third Century We believe it bad been difficult to have found a happier man than Furius Nomentanus Lupus at the moment we undertake to occupy ourselves with him. To judge of it, let the reader who wishes first cast with us a glance upon his splendid dwelling. By itself it formed what is called an island "insula," because entirely isolated from every neighboring habitation, and situated exactly in an enclosure, towards which converged several public ways. This house had been constructed a few years before the period of our story, in the new quarter, on the side that certain upstarts had begun to seek, that is, the ancient Field of Mars which was to advance gradually and help form the Rome of our day. Why, indeed, should not the mania of building, which generally seizes upon declining nations, make use of that vast space where the political and military life of the Roman people had ceased to exercise itself, and which the emperors, already for a number of years past, voluntarily exiled from Rome, no longer filled (except at rare intervals) with the solemn manifestation of warlike pomps?

Download or read book God s Bankers written by Gerald Posner and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 703 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller: A “deeply researched” exposé of the money and the clerics-turned-financiers at the heart of the Vatican (Chicago Tribune). From a master chronicler of legal and financial misconduct, a magnificent investigation nine years in the making, God’s Bankers traces the political intrigue of the Catholic Church in “a meticulous work that cracks wide open the Vatican’s legendary, enabling secrecy” (Kirkus Reviews). Decidedly not about faith, belief in God, or religious doctrine, this book is about the church’s accumulation of wealth and its byzantine financial entanglements across the world. Telling the story through two hundred years of prelates, bishops, cardinals, and the popes who oversee it all, Gerald Posner uncovers an eyebrow-raising account of money and power in one of the world’s most influential organizations. God’s Bankers is a revelatory and astounding saga marked by poisoned business titans, murdered prosecutors, and mysterious deaths written off as suicides; a carnival of characters from popes and cardinals to financiers and mobsters to kings and prime ministers; and a set of moral and political circumstances that not only clarify the church’s aims and ambitions, but reflect the larger tensions of more recent history. Posner also assesses Pope Francis’s potential to overcome the resistance to change in the Vatican’s Machiavellian inner court and rein in the excesses of its seemingly uncontrollable financial quagmire. “As exciting as a mystery thriller” (Providence Journal), this book reveals with extraordinary precision how the Vatican has evolved from a foundation of faith to a corporation of extreme wealth and power. “Reads like a sprawling novel, full of complex characters and surprising twists. . . . Readers interested in issues involving religion and international finance will find Posner’s work a compelling read.” —Library Journal “An extraordinarily intricate tale of intrigue, corruption and organized criminality. . . . Posner’s gifts as a reporter and storyteller are most vividly displayed in a series of lurid chapters on the American archbishop Paul Marcinkus, the arch-Machiavellian who ran the Vatican Bank from 1971-1989.” —The New York Times Book Review
Download or read book The Papacy written by J. A. Wylie and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on 2002-06 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The whole economy of Redemption, and the whole course of History are the broad substructions on which the argument is based and built up; and the author humbly submits that it cannot be overturned, or the conclusion arrived at set aside, without dislocating and shaking the structure of both Revelation and Providence. The same line of proof which establishes that Christ is the promised Messiah, conversely applied, establishes that the Roman system is the predicted Apostasy. In the life of Christ we behold the converse of what the Antichrist must be and in the prophecy of the Antichrist we are shown the converse of what Christ must be, and was. And when we place the Papacy between the two and compare it with each, we find, on the one hand, that it is the perfect converse of Christ as seen in His life and, on the other, that it is the perfect image of the Antichrist as shown in the prophecy of Him. We conclude, therefore, that if Jesus of Nazareth be the Christ, the Roman Papacy is the Antichrist. This book contains the classic teaching of the Protestant Reformation regarding the Antichrist (an integral part of that Reformation, we might add--as all the Reformed creeds and confessions attest). The easy reading format and style make this book an ideal introduction to this topic.
