The Primacy of the Bishop of Rome and the Ecumenical Dialogue

By: Adriano Garuti

The mixed results of the ecumenical dialogue since the Second Vatican Council have made it clear that the primacy of the Bishop of Rome remains the single most serious obstacle on the path of ecumenism. In his landmark 1995 encyclical Ut unum sint, Pope John Paul II reiterated the constant teaching that the Catholic Church "has preserved the ministry of the Successor of the Apostle Peter, the Bishop of Rome." He also invited leaders and theologians of other Christian communities to engage in a "patient and fraternal dialogue on this subject...to find a way of exercising the primacy which, while in no way renouncing what is essential to its mission, is nonetheless open to a new situation." This book explores in depth the discussion of papal primacy in the Catholic-Orthodox, Catholic-Lutheran and Catholic Anglican dialogues, along with an appendix on the concept of "Sister Churches." Each chapter describes how the primacy is viewed in the respective churches or ecclesial communities, then it analyzes the documents of the official ecumenical dialogue and realistically evaluates the results achieved thus far.

Justice Blindfolded

The Historical Course of an Image

By: Adriano Prosperi

Justice Blindfolded gives an overview of the history of “justice” and its iconography through the centuries. Justice has been portrayed as a woman with scales, or holding a sword, or, since the fifteenth century, with her eyes bandaged. This last symbol contains the idea that justice is both impartial and blind, reminding indirectly of the bandaged Christ on the cross, a central figure in the Christian idea of fairness and forgiveness. In this rich and imaginative journey through history and philosophy, Prosperi manages to convey a full account of the ways justice has been described, portrayed and imagined. Translation of Giustizia bendata. Percorsi storici di un'immagine (Einaudi, 2008).

Nationalism and Terror

Ante Pavelić and Ustasha Terrorism from Fascism to the Cold War

By: Pino Adriano,Giorgio Cingolani

This book covers the full story of the Ustasha, a fascist movement in Croatia, from its historic roots to its downfall. The authors address key questions: In what international context did Ustasha terrorism grow and develop? How did this movement rise to power, and then exterminate hundreds of thousands of innocents? Who was Ante Pavelić, its leader? Was he a shrewd politician, able to exploit for his independent project Mussolini’s imperial ambitions, Hitler’s pan-German aims, and the anti-Bolshevism of the Holy See and the Western bloc? Or was he, consciously or not, a pawn in other hands, in a complex international scenario where Croatia was only arena among many? And after the movement’s collapse, how were several of the most prominent Ustasha leaders able to evade capture by Tito’s victorious army? The facts and documents confront us with the ambivalence of terrorism. The book places the appearance of the Ustasha movement not only in the context of the interwar Kingdom of Yugoslavia but also in the wider perspective of the emergence of European fascism.

Crime and Forgiveness

Christianizing Execution in Medieval Europe

By: Adriano Prosperi

A provocative analysis of how Christianity helped legitimize the death penalty in early modern Europe, then throughout the Christian world, by turning execution into a great cathartic public ritual and the condemned into a Christ-like figure who accepts death to save humanity. The public execution of criminals has been a common practice ever since ancient times. In this wide-ranging investigation of the death penalty in Europe from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, noted Italian historian Adriano Prosperi identifies a crucial period when legal concepts of vengeance and justice merged with Christian beliefs in repentance and forgiveness. Crime and Forgiveness begins with late antiquity but comes into sharp focus in fourteenth-century Italy, with the work of the Confraternities of Mercy, which offered Christian comfort to the condemned and were for centuries responsible for burying the dead. Under the brotherhoods’ influence, the ritual of public execution became Christianized, and the doomed person became a symbol of the fallen human condition. Because the time of death was known, this “ideal” sinner could be comforted and prepared for the next life through confession and repentance. In return, the community bearing witness to the execution offered forgiveness and a Christian burial. No longer facing eternal condemnation, the criminal in turn publicly forgave the executioner, and the death provided a moral lesson to the community. Over time, as the practice of Christian comfort spread across Europe, it offered political authorities an opportunity to legitimize the death penalty and encode into law the right to kill and exact vengeance. But the contradictions created by Christianity’s central role in executions did not dissipate, and squaring the emotions and values surrounding state-sanctioned executions was not simple, then or now.

1960–2010: Game over for Italy’S Most Criminal Goverments

By: Adriano Giuliano

Mine is only and simply a history book that will upset many people in Italy. Nevertheless, the undersigned is pissed, very pissed off about what happened in the past, and what is still happening today. It a shame that my country has been admitted to complete a political unit (as it is today Italy),with a scam made about 150 years ago. The culture of my country, the Veneto is similar to that of the southern regions such as Campania, Sicily, Calabria, etc.. Like the English or German culture is similar to the Moroccan, Tunisian, etc. .. And right that every people is master at home. Im sick and Im not alone (the party of the Northern League is the proof), to see people from the regions of Italy the most infamous, have positions in all public areas of my country. Knowing laziness, arrogance and malice, which unfortunately many people (not all) from south Italy have. It is not right with that cheating in public examinations (especially with the universities had high marks in the south or with degrees purchased), they become public managers, police comanders, policemen, professors, teachers, etcc .. We must unite the world, leaving people free to decide their own future, which does not happen in Italy. I did not want to go that far, but there is no other way to get to the freedom of the peoples of the north. From an early age I have never endured injustice, and I always said what I thought, and I with my Venetian character, to say what I thought when I was a student, I paid a high price. I was naive then, as unfortunately there still are many young people of the north. Again, I did not want to go that far, but freedom is priceless, and remember one thing, the freedom of each one of us ends when you take away the freedom to others. From OECD statistics, the graduates of the north, are much more prepared than graduates of the South, then, from the Internet, I come to know that in the south there are more graduates, 100 cum laude. But now everyone knows that the dunces of the north, to get his degree, he moved to the south. This is the cause of all these people who come to places like government offi cials, etcc. In addition to being unfair to the people of the north, such behavior foster corruption, and the peoples of the south are professors about it, although there are many honest people. Nonetheless, the social and economic damage that the South, with malicious behavior, has facilitated the crime, corruption, debt and social injustice. I marvel not a little, when signed, sets out the facts of evil, which occur in southern Italy, many people show me as racist. Do not forget that if the criminal organizations in the south have the roost for 40 years, it is due to politicians, and especially the tens of thousands of people who in one way or another, were affi liated with organized crime. So, party politician, from the 60s onwards, enabled these organizations to proliferate, in exchange for a vote. The past speaks for itself.With regard to my person, I do not love me at all know. Im a loner, and I only wrote this book because I love the freedom, not only for me but also for others. On the other hand, what is a person without freedom? Nothing. The human being, being superintelligent, compared to animals in need of freedom as the air we breathe. When it is the remains, he is nothing.
