Download or read book The Catholic Marriage Bed written by Ronald Conte and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses a single question in ethics: Which sexual acts are moral between a husband and wife? The question is answered by considering the teachings of Saints Jerome, Augustine, Aquinas, Liguori, and Pope Saint John Paul II, as well as the teachings of Sacred Scripture and the Roman Catholic Magisterium. The opinions of present-day priests and theologians are reviewed, and arguments on both sides are examined and explained. This book should not be controversial. It merely presents the view of marital sexual ethics traditionally held in the Catholic Church. The conclusions of the book are well-supported by magisterial teachings, biblical teachings, and the theology of Saints and Doctors of the Church. Many orthodox theologians, past and present, have taught this same understanding. And in light of the most recent teachings of the Magisterium, no other conclusion is possible. The only moral sexual act is natural marital relations open to life, for that act alone is inherently marital, unitive, and procreative.

Download or read book Vincent and Pablo The Revised Version written by Tony Warner and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many books that chart the life of Vincent van Gogh and Picasso, but there are very few that discuss their early personal life. Vincent and Pablo: The Revised Version is a romantic fiction that explores what might have happened if both artists had arrived in London, as they both intended, at the same time. In 1873, Vincent van Gogh was sent to London as a gallery assistant for Goupil and Co. He lived in Brixton and preached in a local church. Gradually, he became disillusioned with art dealing and unhappy in his personal life. He was recalled to Paris, giving up art dealing for the church and then for art itself. If he had stayed in London, his passion for art, and his personal life, may have concluded very differently. In 1900, Pablo Picasso set off from Barcelona to travel London via Paris. After a short stay in Paris, the terrible weather and personal difficulties forced him to return to Barcelona, if Picasso had made it to London and van Gogh had stayed, could they have both established a friendship? Would their art be different from the masterpieces that followed? Tony Warner believes that Lust for Life by Irving Stone, about van Gogh, is one of the best-known books in the artistic sphere. He hopes to recreate the writing style of Graham Greene and Pat Barker, both of whom have a way of a telling a story without overburdening it with metaphysics or allegory. This book will be enjoyed by readers of historical fiction, especially those with an interest in art and romance.

Download or read book Miss Lonelyhearts The Day of the Locust New Edition written by Nathanael West and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2009-06-23 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A primer for Big Bad City disillusionment, unsparing in its portrayal of New York's debilitating entropy."—The Village Voice. With a new introduction by Jonathan Lethem. First published in 1933, Miss Lonelyhearts remains one of the most shocking works of 20th century American literature, as unnerving as a glob of black bile vomited up at a church social: empty, blasphemous, and horrific. Set in New York during the Depression and probably West's most powerful work, Miss Lonelyhearts concerns a nameless man assigned to produce a newspaper advice column — but as time passes he begins to break under the endless misery of those who write in, begging him for advice. Unable to find answers, and with his shaky Christianity ridiculed to razor-edged shards by his poisonous editor, he tumbles into alcoholism and a madness fueled by his own spiritual emptiness. During his years in Hollywood West wrote The Day of the Locust, a study of the fragility of illusion. Many critics consider it with F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished masterpiece The Last Tycoon (1941) among the best novels written about Hollywood. Set in Hollywood during the Depression, the narrator, Tod Hackett, comes to California in the hope of a career as a painter for movie backdrops but soon joins the disenchanted second-rate actors, technicians, laborers and other characters living on the fringes of the movie industry. Tod tries to seduce Faye Greener; she is seventeen. Her protector is an old man named Homer Simpson. Tod finds work on a film called prophetically “The Burning of Los Angeles,” and the dark comic tale ends in an apocalyptic mob riot outside a Hollywood premiere, as the system runs out of control.
