The Church never tires of singing the glory of this night: The virgin today brings into the work the Eternal / And the earth offers a cave to the Inaccessible. / The angels and shepherds praise him / And the magi advance with the star, / For you are born for us, / Little Child, God eternal!

THE CATHOLIC SPONSORSHIP OF LEGAL EDUCATION: A BIBLIOGRAPHY WILLIAM J. WAGNER* AND DENISE M. RYAN** The Catholic vision of the world discovers and appreciates common meanings and values.' In some respects, cognitive insight arises for Catholics within the community of faith by common appropriation of revealed knowledge.2 In others, it is encountered by them within a com- munity of reasoned discourse on truths constitutive of the world and human nature and accessible to all.3 According to Catholicism, both forms of knowledge-that of faith and of reason-exist within commu- nities dedicated to a common search to know and understand. Authentically Catholic legal education is oriented to a common un- derstanding of realities giving it essential content, realities summarily identifiable through concepts of Catholicism, Law, Legal Profession, and University.

  • The Real Powers Behind President Barack Obama by Karen Hudes
    The Real Powers Behind President Barack Obama By Karen Hudes Tuesday, December 31, 2013 8:02 (Before It's News) From Karen Hudes Facebook page: Barack Obama is truly not the President of the United States. He is not a powerful person at all. Rather, he is a front man for more powerful entities that hide in the shadows. The real power in the world is not the United States, Russia, or even China. It is Rome. The Roman Catholic Church (Vatican) is the single most powerful force in the world. However, the Vatican has been under the control of it’s largest all-male order, the Jesuits. The Jesuits were created in 1534 to serve as the “counter-reformation” — the arm of the Church that would help to fight the Muslims and the Protestant Reformers. However, they fought with espionage. The Jesuits were expelled from at least 83 countries and cities for subversion, espionage, treason, and other such things. Samuel Morse said that the Jesuits were the foot soldiers in the Holy Alliance (Europe and the Vatican) plan to destroy the United States (Congress of Vienna). Marquis Lafayette stated that the Jesuits were behind most of the wars in Europe, and that they would be the ones to take liberty from the United States. The head of the Jesuit Order is Adolfo Nicholas. His title is Superior General of the Jesuits. The use of the rank “general” is because the Jesuits are, in reality, a military organization. Nicholas, as the Jesuit General, is the most powerful man in the world.
