A Catholic Defense of Capital Punishment
This book delves into the Catholic Tradition regarding the death penalty, arguing that it is not inherently wrong and can be a just form of punishment in certain cases. Drawing upon various philosophical, scriptural, theological, and social scientific arguments, the authors demonstrate that the Church's traditional teaching on the death penalty is a safeguard to society.

2020-12-11T01:17:57.000ZIl Decameron è una raccolta di cento novelle, raccontate in dieci giorni da sette donne e tre uomini, allontanatisi da Firenze per sfuggire alla peste che contagiò la città nel 1348. L’opera è quindi suddivisa in “Giornate” e nel Proemio l’autore spiega il carattere del suo libro. Nella Giornata I si parla “di quello che più aggrada a ciascheduno”, nella II “di chi, da diverse cose infestato sia, oltre alla sua speranza, riuscito a lieto fine”, nella III “di chi alcuna cosa molto da lui desiderata con industria acquistasse, o la perduta ricoverasse”… e così via. Boccaccio vi dipinge un eccezionale affresco della Firenze del Duecento, delle virtù e dei vizi dei suoi abitanti: dalla prontezza del servo Chichibio, che volge in riso l’ira del padrone, al crudele Tancredi, che fa uccidere l’amante della figlia; dalla generosità malinconica di Federigo degli Alberighi, che per amore sacrifica il suo falcone preferito, alla folle gelosia di Guglielmo da Rossiglione. Racconti a tema libero, novelle a lieto fine, storie d’amore fortunate o tragiche si alternano a esempi di grandezza d’animo, scherzi e beffe, imprese eroiche, in una grandiosa epopea laica e profana dell’uomo medievale.

2020-03-12T18:41:53.000ZThis thought-provoking book by a leading conservative thinker argues that nationalism is the only realistic safeguard of liberty in today's world. It explores the crucial debate of whether we should fight for international government or keep our nations independent and self-determined. The author contends that a world of sovereign nations is the only choice for those who care about personal and collective freedom. Through historical accounts, he shows how a love of national independence brought freedom to diverse peoples, and argues that we must restore this tradition to limit conflict, promote innovation and allow human difference to flourish.
