Book Synopsis Crafting a Republic for the World by : Lina Del Castillo
Download or read book Crafting a Republic for the World written by Lina Del Castillo and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of independence, Spanish American leaders perceived the colonial past as looming over their present. Crafting a Republic for the World examines how the vibrant postcolonial public sphere in Colombia invented narratives of the Spanish "colonial legacy." Those supposed legacies included a lack of effective geographic knowledge, blockages to a circulatory political economy, existing patterns of land tenure, entrenched inequalities, and ignorance among popular sectors. At times collaboratively, and at times combatively, Colombian leaders tackled these "colonial" legacies to forge a republic in a hostile world of monarchies and empires. The highly partisan, yet uniformly republican public sphere crafted a vision of a virtuous nation that, unlike the United States, had already abolished slavery and included Indians as citizens. By the mid-nineteenth century, as suffrage expanded to all males over twenty-one, Colombian elites nevertheless tinkered with territorial divisions and devised new constitutions to manage the alleged "colonial legacy" affecting the minds of popular voters. The book explores how the struggle to be at the vanguard of radical republican equality fomented innovative contributions to social sciences, including geography, cartography, political ethnography, constitutional science, history, and the calculation of equity through land reform. Paradoxically, these efforts created a kind of legal pluralism reminiscent of the Spanish monarchy during the "colonial" period.
Book Synopsis ALIMENTO ESPIRITUAL PARA UN ALMA QUE BUSCA by : PADRE JOSEPH BELLERIVE, JCD.
Download or read book ALIMENTO ESPIRITUAL PARA UN ALMA QUE BUSCA written by PADRE JOSEPH BELLERIVE, JCD. and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro trata de nuestra fe, que es un don que Dios en su inmenso amor nos da para nuestro crecimiento personal, espiritual y humano. Aquellos que son humildes y están abiertos para recibir este don en sus corazones, son capaces de hacer frente a los múltiples desafíos de la vida sin desanimarse, sin caer en la angustia o sin sentirse abandonados. Es un acto de humildad que todos tenemos que hacer en este mundo lleno de confusión y orgullo, con el fin de experimentar la verdadera paz que el Señor ha venido a traernos. Este libro está destinado a apoyar a cualquier cristiano que esté preocupado por la realidad del Último Día, la cual experimentará cada uno de nosotros. Es también una referencia para todos los que están dispuestos a profundizar en su fe para permanecer despiertos y estar preparados para el Señor con la ayuda de las enseñanzas de la fe. No importa que se trate de un intelectual, de un profesor, de un granjero, de una ama de casa, etc.; de una persona joven o adulta. El libro ofrece una presentación de nuestra propia identidad como hijos de Dios. En cada uno existe una dimensión espiritual donde Dios se comunica con nosotros y que nos permite ser llamados hombre o mujer. Es una aberración que algunas personas se tengan a sí mismas como ateas por no creer en Dios cuando, irónicamente, Dios sí cree en ellas y les permite vivir en el mundo que Él ha creado. Cada ser humano debería tomar en serio su condición y su presencia en esta vida para no caer en la mediocridad de no creer. Confundidos con las muchas cosas materiales a las que ellos están expuestos, muchos hombres toman la decisión de no creer en Dios. Lógicamente, esta decisión es una negación de su propia existencia, porque un hombre o una mujer sólo pueden existir en relación con Dios, su Creador. Ninguno de los seres humanos se puede dar vida a sí mismo. Antes que ellos nacieran, alguien superior los ha precedido, de la misma manera que antes de nacer un hijo existen ya su padre y su madre. Así, este libro es una reafirmación de nuestra fe, expresada de una manera muy sencilla y sin ninguna complicación. Este libro es también un recordatorio para nosotros amar a nuestra Iglesia y defenderla a pesar de que haya muchas cosas que nos puedan provocar desencanto. No debemos desanimarnos; al contrario, debemos estar felices de saber el camino que conduce a la paz y a la salvación. La Iglesia se inició con la traición de Judas, que contribuyó a la cruz de Jesús. Este tipo de hechos seguirán estando presentes en nuestra Iglesia, en nuestras comunidades, e incluso en el comportamiento de nuestros líderes. Pero, si Dios está con nosotros, ¿quién puede estar contra nosotros? Jesús nos ha marcado el camino que debemos seguir si queremos estar con Dios nuestro Padre. Mi libro está escrito en armonía con las enseñanzas de la fe católica y el mensaje va directo al corazón de la persona humana. El contenido del libro nos invita a mantener la fe con el fin de comprender mejor nuestro papel en un mundo lleno de violencia y de secularismo. Hemos llegado a ser violentos no sólo con los demás, sino también con nosotros mismos, al elegir creencias y actitudes que no nos ayudan a convertirnos en personas obedientes, humildes y felices. Muchos hombres y mujeres entran en la Iglesia, pero tienen una interpretación errónea de la fe y de la jerarquía. Ellos no están de acuerdo ni contentos con una cosa ni otra. Piensan que pueden escoger y elegir lo que quieran y como quieran. Sin embargo, es importante entender que la Iglesia no es, y nunca ha sido, una democracia. La Iglesia es jerárquica y encuentra su fundamento en la autoridad que el Señor Jesús recibió del Padre. Con esa autoridad, Él dijo a Pedro: " Tú eres Pedro, y sobre esta piedra edificaré mi Iglesia, y el poder del infierno no la derrotará".
Book Synopsis Honorable Lives by : Victor Uribe-Uran
Download or read book Honorable Lives written by Victor Uribe-Uran and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first work in English to discuss the social and political history of lawyers in a Latin American country, Honorable Lives presents a portrait of lawyers in late colonial and early modern Colombia. Uribe-Uran focuses on the social origins, education, and careers of those qualified to practice law before the highest colonial courts—Audiencias—and the republican courts after the 1820s. In the course of his study, Uribe-Uran answers many questions about this elite group of professionals. What were the social origins and families of lawyers? Their relation to the state? Their participation in political movements and parties, revolutions, civil wars, and other political processes? Their ideas, education, and training? By exploring the lives of lawyers, Uribe-Uran is also able to present a general history of Latin America while examining the key social and political changes and continuities from 1780 to 1850—particularly the elites and state managers.Honorable Lives features three genealogical charts detailing bureaucratic networks established by families of lawyers in different historical periods. The text also contains an abundant series of statistical tables and charts, and concise biographical information on approximately 150 Latin American lawyers. This book will appeal to Latin Americanists, students of law, and anyone interested in the lives and histories of lawyers.
Book Synopsis Mi vida con los santos by : James Martin
Download or read book Mi vida con los santos written by James Martin and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Para el padre James Martin, SJ los Santos ¡son mucho más que estatuas de yeso, son amigos personales! En Mi vida con los Santos James Martin nos presenta una conmovedora experiencia respect a su relación con los Santos –desde María, la madre de Jesús, hasta San Francisco o la Madre Teresa− y la manera personal en la que ha side dirigido por los heroes de la Iglesia a lo largo de toda su vida. El padre James nos presenta vívidos y encantadores relatos de los Santos más populares, permitiéndonos ver no solo su santidad, sino su humanidad. A partir de esta experiencia descubrimos la llamada y posibilidad de vivir la santidad en nuestra propia humanidad. James Martin has led an entirely modern life: from a lukewarm Catholic childhood, to an education at the Wharton School of Business, to the executive fast track at General Electric, to ministry as a Jesuit priest, to a busy media career in Manhattan. But at every step he has been accompanied by some surprising friends—the saints of the Catholic Church. For many, these holy men and women remain just historical figures. For Martin, they are intimate companions. “They pray for me, offer me comfort, give me examples of discipleship, and help me along the way,” he writes. The author is both engaging and specific about the help and companionship he has received. When his pride proves troublesome, he seeks help from Thomas Merton, the monk and writer who struggled with egotism. In sickness he turns to Thérèse of Lisieux, who knew about the boredom and self-pity that come with illness. Joan of Arc shores up his flagging courage. Aloysius Gonzaga deepens his compassion. Pope John XXIII helps him to laugh and not take life too seriously. Martin’s inspiring, witty, and always fascinating memoir encompasses saints from the whole of Christian history— from St. Peter to Dorothy Day. His saintly friends include Francis of Assisi, Ignatius of Loyola, Mother Teresa, and other beloved figures. They accompany the author on a lifelong pilgrimage that includes stops in a sunlit square of a French town, a quiet retreat house on a New England beach, the gritty housing projects of inner-city Chicago, the sprawling slums of Nairobi, and a gorgeous Baroque church in Rome. This rich, vibrant, stirring narrative shows how the saints can help all of us find our way in the world.

Book Synopsis Love is Our Mission by : Archdiocese of Philadelphia
Download or read book Love is Our Mission written by Archdiocese of Philadelphia and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2014-09-17 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We are called to acknowledge how beautiful, true and good it is to start a family, to be a family today... We are called to make known God's magnificent plan for the family...as we accompany them amidst so many difficulties." - Pope Francis, February 20, 2014 For Pope Francis, as for his predecessors Saint John Paul II and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, this is more than just talk. It is a rallying cry. This is the focus of the 2015 World Meeting of Families: Love is Our Mission: The Family Fully Alive. For Catholics everywhere, it is a time to renew our focus on the family, the "domestic church" - what it means, why it's important, how it fits in with God's plan for us, and how we can become who God created us to be. Here is a new, fresh, and insightful way to do just that. In Love is Our Mission, Spanish edition, you can easily explore Catholic teaching on marriage, family, sexuality, children, human dignity, and the sanctity of life. It's a guided tour through scripture and 2000 years of Church teaching in which you are awakened to the relationship God wants to have with you, the family, and ultimately the world. Self-reflection or group discussion questions bring the teachings home in a very real and practical way. As Pope Francis has said, we must, "keep before us the beauty of the family and marriage, the greatness of this human reality which is so simple and yet so rich..."
Book Synopsis Sadness, Depression, and the Dark Night of the Soul by : Glòria Durà-Vilà
Download or read book Sadness, Depression, and the Dark Night of the Soul written by Glòria Durà-Vilà and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2017-01-19 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revealing a tension between the medical model of depression and the very different language of theology, this book explores how religious people and communities understand severe sadness, their coping mechanisms and their help-seeking behaviours. Drawing from her study of practicing Catholics, contemplative monks and nuns, priests and laypeople studying theology, the author describes how symptoms that might otherwise be described as pathological and meet diagnostic criteria for a depressive disorder are considered by some religious individuals to be normal and valued experiences. She explains how sadness fits into the 'Dark Night of the Soul' narrative - an active transformation of emotional distress into an essential ingredient for self-reflection and spiritual growth - and how sadness with a recognised cause is seen to 'make sense', whereas sadness without a cause may be seen to warrant psychiatric consultation. The author also discusses the role of the clergy in cases of sadness and depression and their collaboration with medical professionals. This is an insightful read for anyone with an interest in theology or mental health, including clergy, psychiatrists and psychologists.

Book excerpt: Means provides the first major study of both the historical development of private law in a Latin American country and the shifting role of business corporations or share companies in Latin American development. He shows that Colombia's corporate law provisions for commercial codes held only a tenuous relationship to reality and that, even today, Colombia's commercial development continues to be affected by a paucity of legal scholars, case reports, and legal journals.

Download or read book Listen, Teach, Send written by USCCB and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2024-08-30 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This framework, approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in June 2024, gives guidance for the Catholic Church in accompanying and evangelizing young people: youth (in junior high and high school) and young adults (in their late teens, 20s, and 30s). The methodology is rooted in the Gospel story of the road to Emmaus (Lk 24:13-35) and invites pastoral leaders and families, in their engagement with young people, to imitate Jesus who listens attentively, teaches from the heart, and sends disciples into the world. The document begins with a preface letter addressed directly from the U.S. Bishops to youth and young adults and continues with the three-part framework text for pastoral ministers, families, and young leaders in the Church.

Book Synopsis Conspiracy Theories and Latin American History by : Luis Roniger
Download or read book Conspiracy Theories and Latin American History written by Luis Roniger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a systematic inquiry of conspiracy theories across Latin America. Conspiracy theories project not only an interpretive logic of reality that leads people to believe in sinister machinations, but also imply a theory of power that requires mobilizing and taking action. Through history, many have fallen for the allure of conspiratorial narratives, even the most unsubstantiated and bizarre. This book traces the main conspiracy theories developing in Latin America since late colonial times and into the present, and identifies the geopolitical, socioeconomic and cultural scenarios of their diffusion and mobilization. Students and scholars of Latin American history and politics, as well as comparatists, will find in this book penetrating analyses of major conspiratorial designs in this multi-state region of the Americas.

Book Synopsis Benjamin Constant's Philosophy of Liberalism by : Guy H. Dodge
Download or read book Benjamin Constant's Philosophy of Liberalism written by Guy H. Dodge and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first work in English to focus on Constant as a political theorist shows that his thinking was molded by the French Revolution of 1789 and by Napoleon's regime. Constant is identified as the first to recognize Bonapartism as a new form of despotism, arising from the theory of popular sovereignty, which is still the basis for modern Fascist and Communist regimes. His political thought is analyzed within the framework of his philosophy of history, law, ethics, and religion. Originally published in 1980.
