Good news for Ms Fallaci, if she will listen to the Pope. Very VERY bad news for Christianity if it happens the other way round, and Benedict XVI listens to...
Isn't it too easy to conquer Europe when all the continent has to "protect" it is a Pope with a heretical theology running an institution packed up with...
Here is a machine translation of Cardini's criticism which I fiddled with because it is 4 AM and I can't sleep. As they say, "traduttore tradditore,"...
Before criticizing or praising, we might listen to the Pope’s real opinions about Islam. I’ll add that reading these (and other) lines by His Holiness, I...
Your translating machine, Mr. Wagner, did not make a bad job at all: no betrayals, except some minor, venial infidelities. Your point about demography is...
New member Salvo Caruso recently asked "why do people turn to Gnostic thought?" For some reason, the question has dominated my thinking from the time he posted...
In a sense, all of Vol V is devoted to this question. Voegelin does not really care to speak to the kinds of pragmatic issues that Mr. Pagnan very rightly...
Greeting to the list: I am a new list member here, and I live in the United States. I would be interested in what list members think of the unraveling of...
Many years ago, Solzhenitsyn remarked on the underlying spiritual disorder in America, where massive riots break out during a power blackout. Voegelin remarked...

Is civil unrest a peculiarly "modern" or "urban" phenomenon? Does civil unrest have to imply some widespread spiritual disorder? There was widespread civil...

Unless I profoundly misunderstand Voegelin, I believe he would firmly rule against buying the emphasis of the News Media in assessing conditions and public...
Forgive me if I am overinterpreting, but nobody but an arch libertarian would argue that government has no role to play in natural disasters. You can count the...
Thanks to Mr. Buffagni for providing the text of the Pope's address. The Pope said: "...all of us, as Christians and Muslims, are believers..." It would be...
It is so very strange that Muslims do not acknowledge Mohammed's greatness. They loudly proclaim it but they do not listen. Mohammed said that the holiest...
