Download or read book Rome in America written by Peter R. D'Agostino and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2005-12-15 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, historians have argued that Catholicism in the United States stood decisively apart from papal politics in European society. The Church in America, historians insist, forged an "American Catholicism," a national faith responsive to domestic concerns, disengaged from the disruptive ideological conflicts of the Old World. Drawing on previously unexamined documents from Italian state collections and newly opened Vatican archives, Peter D'Agostino paints a starkly different portrait. In his narrative, Catholicism in the United States emerges as a powerful outpost within an international church that struggled for three generations to vindicate the temporal claims of the papacy within European society. Even as they assimilated into American society, Catholics of all ethnicities participated in a vital, international culture of myths, rituals, and symbols that glorified papal Rome and demonized its liberal, Protestant, and Jewish opponents. From the 1848 attack on the Papal States that culminated in the creation of the Kingdom of Italy to the Lateran Treaties in 1929 between Fascist Italy and the Vatican that established Vatican City, American Catholics consistently rose up to support their Holy Father. At every turn American liberals, Protestants, and Jews resisted Catholics, whose support for the papacy revealed social boundaries that separated them from their American neighbors.
Download or read book The Fall of an American Rome written by Quentin R. Skrabec Jr. and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the de-industrialization of America, written by a Business professor with a background in steel company management who grew up in the city of Pittsburgh and loved its manufacturing environment. The book is based on the facts and aims to avoid any partisan political viewpoint -- which is not as difficult as it may seem, since both U.S. political parties support free trade economics. The story does not single out the union, the workers, management, politicians, or American voters and consumers, since there is plenty of blame to share. Even the economic policy of the country since 1945, which clearly must carry a large portion of the blame, was accepted for all the right reasons. Free trade was to promote world peace and democracy. No one foresaw the ancillary effects of the 1970s on the United States. Yet this approach has brought destruction upon our cities, workers, managers, and country. The author's perspective is one of a love for American manufacturing and those once-robust cities such as Detroit, Toledo, Pittsburgh, Akron, and so many others, that drove forward the American economy.

Download or read book Fifty Years in the Church of Rome written by Chiniquy, Charles and published by Delmarva Publications, Inc.. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 1068 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an excellent look at the religious system of the Catholic Church from the inside. Charles Chiniquy was born at Kamouraska, Quebec, Canada of Roman Catholic parents. He studied at the college of Nicolet in Canada, professor of belles-lettres, after graduation he entered the priesthood (at an early age) and continued therein until he was an old man. At the age of 49 he left the Roman church taking his congregation with him and became a Presbyterian minister. His encounters with the inner workings of the of the Roman church are so enlightening that it could only come from someone who was embedded in such a system for so many years. He later published a number of books and tracts on temperance and about his life and experiences in the Catholic church, of which some became very popular and were translated into several languages. In this book he covers such subjects as: · The Bible and the Priest of Rome, · Preparation for the First Communion-Initiation to Idolatry, · Intellectual Education in the Roman Catholic College · Moral and Religious Instruction in the Roman Catholic Colleges · Protestant Children in the Convents and Nunneries of Rome · Rome and Education- Why the Church of Rome hates the Common Schools of the United States, and want to destroy them? · Theology of the Church of Rome: its Anti-Christian Character · The Vow of Celibacy · The Impurities of the Theology of Rome · The Priests of Rome and the Holy Fathers. · How I Swore to give up the Word of God to follow the Word of Men · The Roman Catholic Priesthood, or Ancient and Modern Idolatry · Nine Consequences of the Dogma of Transubstantiation. · The Old Paganism under a Christian Name · Simony · Strange and Sacrilegious Traffic in the so-called Body and Blood of Christ · Enormous Sums of Money made by the Sale of Masses · Conversions of Protestants to the Church of Rome · How the priests spy on the Protestants through the Confessional And much more. If you want an inside look at the Catholic church then this book is a must read.
Download or read book The Jewish Dialogue with Greece and Rome written by Tessa Rajak and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-seven interdisciplinary essays on aspects of Judaism in the Greco-Roman world, exemplifying a wide range of techniques, by a well-known scholar. Three are previously unpublished, including a reappraisal of the Judaism and Hellenism debate and a study of the Sardis synagogue. The book's overall coherence derives from the author's long-standing interests in the analysis of texts as documents of cultural and religious interaction, and in how Jewish communities were woven into the social fabric of Greek cities in the Hellenistic and Roman East. The four sections are: Greeks and Jews, Josephus, The Jewish Diaspora and Epigraphy, and finally Beyond the Greeks and Romans, essays which extend into Christian literature and on to the nineteenth century reception of the Judaism/Hellenism dichotomy. Scholars and students from a wide variety of backgrounds will benefit. This publication has also been published in paperback, please click here for details.

Download or read book The Sons of Caesar Imperial Rome s First Dynasty written by Philip Matyszak and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2006-06-17 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of one of the most colorful dynasties in history, from Caesar's rise to power in the first century BC to Nero's death in AD 68 This engaging new study reviews the long history of the Julian and Claudian families in the Roman Republic and the social and political background of Rome. At the heart of the account are the lives of six men—Julius Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Neromen—who mastered Rome and then changed it from a democracy to a personal possession. It was no easy task: Caesar and Caligula were assassinated, Nero committed suicide, and Claudius was poisoned. Only Augustus and Tiberius died natural deaths and even that is uncertain. The Julio-Claudian saga has a host of other intriguing characters, from Cicero, the last great statesman of the Republic, to Livia, matriarch of the Empire; the passionate Mark Antony and the scheming Sejanus; and Agrippina, mother of Nero and sister of Caligula, who probably murdered her husband and was in turn killed by her son. Set against a background of foreign wars and domestic intrigue, the story of Rome's greatest dynasty is also the story of the birth of an imperial system that shaped the Europe of today.
