Received this from a Mr Mike Walsh: "It seems Obama has never read Eric VoegelinÂ’s New Science of Politics; he endorses the 'prophetic vision' of Joachim of...
Thanks once again to Mr. Wagner's work for us. I had no idea that Obama had referred to Joachim. Frankly and simply put, I am surprised that we students of...
I am hoping that Mr. Wagner will supply the three ( now there's a Dan Brown level number if I ever saw one!!!!!!) quotations from the President, which seem a...
Dear friends, I have recently joined your group. I am currently doing a postdoctoral project on Eric Voegelin's thesis on modernity as a gnostic narrative and ...
I can't speak for the Pope, but he is known to have read and corresponded with Voegelin, so it is possible that he influenced the preacher to include those...
You should be able to find this article on the website of this journal. I know that as recently as a month ago it was still on the net. Here is a little more...

Anyone considering purchasing the Voegelin in Toronto DVD should consider doing so in the immediate future. In about 10 days the price will be raised to $29.98...
I have to say that I'm a bit put out to read that Obama made references to Joachim of Fiore in his speeches and no one reported that information until the...
I strongly suspect that there never were three or even one reference to Joachim of Fiora in an Obama campaign speech. It violates the basic campaign rule...
I think we'd need to begin by separating any possible references Obama made to -any- figure in speeches from endorsement of all that figure's ideas. That a...
Since appears unlikely that Obama made any comments such analysis is virtually impossible. How does one "analyze" an urban legend started by an enthusiastic...
Well yes, of course, everything I said in my previous post was predicated on the big "if" -- If Obama really did say this -- I took that for granted and didn't...
I vividly remember driving up to Catholic U from the Senate in the eighties and hearing Reagan live on the radio mentioning Ibn Khaldun! He even pronounced it...
I had to call in a lot of favors, but I did manage to get copies of the three speeches by Obama. It is no wonder that the speeches were not more widely...

Of course, bothering to confirm the references isn't nearly as important as getting to comment on them. Thank God for Mr. Chappell's careful research. Jim R ...
Ah, so. With Taki in on the hunt, can the American Spectator be far behind ? This morning, my daughter and I had a wonderful chat about such philosophical...
Mr. Riggs -- How is that a response to my post? Or was I just an occasion for thought? And, do you really believe the following comprises our only two...
I also can't speak for the pope. But his view on Joachim is much more positive than Voegelin's. In his book on Bonaventura, Ratzinger says that we owe to...
Jim: You certainly make a good point, in that much of conservative thinking today has at its center the self-same exaltation of the individual - ueber alles....
One is tempted to observe that the RCC is demonstrably expert in surfboard riding on the wave of the future, i.e. cooptation, so Joachim may well be beatified...
