Book Synopsis The Modern Inquisition by : Paul Collins
Download or read book The Modern Inquisition written by Paul Collins and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2002-07-08 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Inquisition ceased burning and torturing heretics in the 18th century; A milder punishment awaits the dissidents today, principally excommunication or banishment from official teaching positions. Paul Collins has discovered- through his own experience and extensive research that the impact of the Vatican's investigations, through the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, can be quite profound. Collins is the controversial Australian Catholic priest recently investigated by the Vatican for alleged heresy. He served the Church for 33 years and is generally esteemed for his dry wit and his ability to make his vocation accessible a trait many appreciated in an increasingly secular world. The Vatican, however, views Collins's less than reverential views as heretical and has been investigating him since 1997, when Collins' book Papal Power was singled out for supposed "doctrinal problems."The Modern Inquisition, compiled over the four years that the mysterious and secretive CDF deliberated on Collins' work, brings together the stories of others who have also been pursued, condemned, or vilified by the CDF. Here are seven fascinating accounts of how the modern Inquisition operates what it is like to be accused by anonymous informers, investigated in secret, and tried at arms length with no recourse to appeal.
Book Synopsis The Modern Inquisition by : Vicenta Sanchez
Download or read book The Modern Inquisition written by Vicenta Sanchez and published by . This book was released on 2024-01-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Inquisition, Lost Childhood is a tragic story, told by the authoress with deep indignation, but in a compassionate manner. This petite authoress, five feet tall and weighs 120 pounds, using only the Bible and common decency upon which to make her stand, appears ten feet tall and fearless in her approach to big government, the Catholic Church and God. The later she ardently believes to be on her side. Her adventures reveal a stamina and perseverance that would do credit to a green beret or legionnaire in battle. Her belief in God and the Bible would also do credit to any saint. Her's is a real story of the poor uneducated masses during the bloody Spanish Civil War and the years that followed. During that time, hundreds of thousands of innocent people died, their only crime being that they were on the wrong side of the political (and often religion) fence. The authoress brings many valid questions to light concerning the "Marriage" of the Franco Regine and the Catholic Church. History supports her position that both parties the Franco Regime and the Catholic Church. History supports her position that both parties initially leaned toward the Germans and Axis power at the outbreak of World War II. This was perhaps understanding for the self-preservation of a country, but unforgivable for a world-wide church which was and is supposed to stand tall against all tyranny and ungodliness. The authoress also points out the continued alliances today of the Catholic Church and several governments, particularly in many poverties stricken third world countries. The Catholic Church should respond to the authoress well researched and documented episodes of the church's continual deviation from the Bible, under the guise of "Tradition and Infallibility" The book is also a must for reading by the church hierarchy. It clearly provides grass roots reasons as to why the Catholic Church is on the decline worldwide, while smaller religions, that just follow the Bible, and the teaching of God, continue to grow, and. while the book is filled with a continuum of poverty, starvation, social injustice and deaths of love ones, the authoress manages to inject several moments of real humor and compassion.

Download or read book The New Inquisitions written by Arthur Versluis and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2006-07-27 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In The New Inquisitions, Arthur Versluis conducts an investigation into the intellectual origins of totalitarianism. He traces totalitarianism's beginnings to the early and medieval Christian idea of heresy - the idea that there is one correct set of doctrines, and that dissent from them is a dangerous evil to be severely punished and eradicated by the Church. This idea would receive its fullest expression in the Catholic Inquisition. The organization and criminal proceedings of the Inquisition, Versluis believes, laid the foundation for later totalitarianism."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis The Inquisitor in the Hat Shop by : Federico Barbierato
Download or read book The Inquisitor in the Hat Shop written by Federico Barbierato and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early modern Venice was an exceptional city. Located at the intersection of trade routes and cultural borders, it teemed with visitors, traders, refugees and intellectuals. It is perhaps unsurprising, then, that such a city should foster groups and individuals of unorthodox beliefs, whose views and life styles would bring them into conflict with the secular and religious authorities. Drawing on a vast store of primary sources - particularly those of the Inquisition - this book recreates the social fabric of Venice between 1640 and 1740. It brings back to life a wealth of minor figures who inhabited the city, and fostered ideas of dissent, unbelief and atheism in the teeth of the Counter-Reformation. The book vividly paints a scene filled with craftsmen, friars and priests, booksellers, apothecaries and barbers, bustling about the city spaces of sociability, between coffee-houses and workshops, apothecaries' and barbers' shops, from the pulpit and drawing rooms, or simply publicly speaking about their ideas. To give depth to the cases identified, the author overlays a number of contextual themes, such as the survival of Protestant (or crypto-Protestant) doctrines, the political situation at any given time, and the networks of dissenting groups that flourished within the city, such as the 'free metaphysicists' who gathered in the premises of the hatter Bortolo Zorzi. In so doing this rich and thought provoking book provides a systematic overview of how Venetian ecclesiastical institutions dealt with the sheer diffusion of heterodox and atheistical ideas at different social levels. It will be of interest not only to scholars of Venice, but all those with an interest in the intellectual, cultural and religious history of early-modern Europe --
Book Synopsis Witchcraft and Inquisition in Early Modern Venice by : Jonathan Seitz
Download or read book Witchcraft and Inquisition in Early Modern Venice written by Jonathan Seitz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-08 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early modern Europe, ideas about nature, God, demons and occult forces were inextricably connected and much ink and blood was spilled in arguments over the characteristics and boundaries of nature and the supernatural. Seitz uses records of Inquisition witchcraft trials in Venice to uncover how individuals across society, from servants to aristocrats, understood these two fundamental categories. Others have examined this issue from the points of view of religious history, the history of science and medicine, or the history of witchcraft alone, but this work brings these sub-fields together to illuminate comprehensively the complex forces shaping early modern beliefs.
Book Synopsis Death by Effigy by : Luis R. Corteguera
Download or read book Death by Effigy written by Luis R. Corteguera and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-09-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 21, 1578, the Mexican town of Tecamachalco awoke to news of a scandal. A doll-like effigy hung from the door of the town's church. Its two-faced head had black chicken feathers instead of hair. Each mouth had a tongue sewn onto it, one with a forked end, the other with a gag tied around it. Signs and symbols adorned the effigy, including a sambenito, the garment that the Inquisition imposed on heretics. Below the effigy lay a pile of firewood. Taken together, the effigy, signs, and symbols conveyed a deadly message: the victim of the scandal was a Jew who should burn at the stake. Over the course of four years, inquisitors conducted nine trials and interrogated dozens of witnesses, whose testimonials revealed a vivid portrait of friendship, love, hatred, and the power of rumor in a Mexican colonial town. A story of dishonor and revenge, Death by Effigy also reveals the power of the Inquisition's symbols, their susceptibility to theft and misuse, and the terrible consequences of doing so in the New World. Recently established and anxious to assert its authority, the Mexican Inquisition relentlessly pursued the perpetrators. Lying, forgery, defamation, rape, theft, and physical aggression did not concern the Inquisition as much as the misuse of the Holy Office's name, whose political mission required defending its symbols. Drawing on inquisitorial papers from the Mexican Inquisition's archive, Luis R. Corteguera weaves a rich narrative that leads readers into a world vastly different from our own, one in which symbols were as powerful as the sword.
