  • 10-23 John of Capistrano
    Jesus said, “Go and proclaim the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:60b). In the Gospel, Jesus gives several examples of people who say they want to follow Jesus but put him in second place and don’t follow through. ‘After I take care of other things, than I will follow you.’ It is helpful to study the lives of the saints. We see their initial failures, and then a fire of faith is lit, and they are able to focus keenly in order to follow the Lord. October 23rd is the Memorial of Saint John of Capistrano. Some say, ‘No good deed goes unpunished.’ John of Capistrano was a well-educated man who advanced quickly in early life. At the age of 26, he was the local governor of Perugia in Italy. In a battle against a powerful enemy, he tried to broker a peace. Instead, he wound up as a prisoner of war. Some say, ‘When one door closes, another opens.’ In prison, John of Capistrano had a vision that gave him a focus and purpose to go and proclaim the Kingdom of God. St. Francis of Assisi came to him in a dream and he experienced a profound conversion. From that point forward he resolved to embrace poverty, chastity, and obedience as a Franciscan. Eventually released from prison, he followed through on his mystical experience and joined the Franciscans of Perugia. He studied diligently and applied himself to this new prayerful way of life. Four years later he was ordained a Franciscan priest.i ii Saint Francis said, ‘Peach the Gospel at all times, if necessary, use words.’ John of Capistrano was a powerful preacher.

  • Understanding Anti-Semitism and Jewish Identity
    (MIS-)UNDERSTANDING ANTI-SEMITISM AND JEWISH IDENTITY From Bernard Lazare to Hannah Arendt by Milen Gotchev Jissov A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada April, 2009 Copyright © Milen Gotchev Jissov, 2009 ISBN:978-0-494-48494-4 Abstract This study examines the responses of European intellectuals since the 1880s to an increasingly virulent and organized anti-Semitism in Europe, and the ways in which they sought to understand the character and origins of the hatred, and to fathom and work out the problems, terms and possibilities for Jewish identity. Focusing on the French figures Bernard Lazare and Marcel Proust from the time of the Dreyfus Affair and then on the Frankfurt School of social theory and Hannah Arendt from the period around and after the Second World War, the thesis argues that these thinkers created a common historical-psychological discourse on anti-Semitism, which attempted to confront, comprehend and explain the historically critical issues of anti-Semitism and Jewish identity. The study explores the discourse’s fundamental assumptions, insights, and arguments regarding the origins, character, and magnitude of anti-Semitism. It also analyzes its contentions concerning the contradictions, sources, and alternatives for Jewish identity. But, more, it claims that, despite their frequent perceptiveness, these figures’ interpretations of the two concerns proved limited, deficient, even deeply flawed. The thesis seeks to show that its intellectuals’ attempt to understand the twin issues was hence a failure to grasp and interpret them adequately, and to resolve them.

  • “Death to the Traitor!”
    Chapter 5 “Death to the Traitor!” On December 22, 1894, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, an artillery officer of Jewish faith, was convicted of selling military secrets to Germany and was sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil’s Island in Guyana. Dreyfus steadfastly maintained his innocence and on January 5, 1895, in the courtyard of the École Militaire, when he had been publicly stripped of all his insignia and his sword had been broken, he stood stone-faced and proclaimed, “Long live France! You are de- grading an innocent man!” Turning to the journalists in the courtyard, he cried out, “You will tell all of France that I am an innocent man!”1 Pressing against the courtyard gate despite frigid weather, crowds sent up shouts of “Death to the Jews!” “Death to the traitor!” “Death to Judas!”2 According to her friends, on the day of Dreyfus’s conviction, Geneviève Straus dressed completely in black.3 The Dreyfus Affair would convulse France for the next twelve years, polar- izing the nation. Far beyond the question of the guilt or innocence of one man, the Affair would ultimately be about the nature of the French Republic and its institutions. Dreyfus had been convicted of espionage based on the evidence of a single document, referred to as the “bordereau”—later discovered to be a forgery— that had been found in a wastepaper basket. Exasperated by their lack of hard evidence against a man in whose guilt they fervently believed, the di- rector of French intelligence, Colonel Jean Sandherr, along with his assistant, Lieutenant-Colonel Hubert Henry, fabricated some additional papers and in- serted them into a file which Dreyfus’s lawyer, Edgar Demange, never saw.

  • Saint John of Capistrano and a Reminder of Spring Time
    Saint John of Capistrano and a reminder of spring time The Oct. 23 feast of the Franciscan friar Saint John of Capistrano (1385-1456) reminds me of the springtime and the miracle of the swallows. It is pretty ironic that I am thinking spring today since it is chilly outside and we have a freeze warning here in Harford County for tonight. Are you familiar with the Franciscan missions (San Juan Capistrano) named for today’s saint in Southern California and in San Antonio? The Mission in Southern California was founded by Father Junipero Serra in 1776 to spread the Catholic faith to the Native Americans. But it is now most widely known for the “miracle of the swallows” each year on the March 19 feast of Saint Joseph. According to their visitor website, the cliff swallows winter each year in Argentina and then arrive back each March to this famous Franciscan mission. They make their nests in the eaves there until October when their migration cycle starts again. People from all over the world are known to visit, especially on the March 19 feast day of Jesus’ foster-father when these small birds return at dawn to settle back into their mud nests at the ruins of the Great Stone Church. Damaged by the earthquake of 1812, this Franciscan church is now famous for housing these birds. On the feast of San Juan Capistrano, Oct. 23, the small birds are known to take flight again for their winter destination. More information can also be found on the website for the local San Juan Capistrano community here.

The Affair or the State: Intellectuals, the Press, and the Dreyfus Affair Abstract In his introduction to The Age of Revolution historian Eric Hobsbawm considers "a few English words which were invented, or gained their modern meanings, substantially in the period" between 1789 and 1848. The list includes 'capitalism', 'socialism', 'aristocracy', 'liberal', 'conservative', 'nationality', 'crisis', 'journalism', and 'ideology'. For Hobsbawm, "To imagine the modern world without these words (i.e. without the things and concepts for which they provide names) is to measure the profundity of the revolution which broke out between 1789 and 1848, and forms the greatest transformation in human history since the remote times when men invented agriculture and metallurgy, writing, the city and the state." This analysis is relevant when thinking of the Dreyfus case. To imagine the Affair without words such as 'capitalism', 'aristocracy', 'nationality', 'crisis', or 'ideology', is not hard, it is impossible.

    Radu Theodoru ROMÂNIA CA O PRADĂ Editura ALMA 1996 MOTIVAŢIE O bună parte din umanitate trăieşte dramatic epoca de maximă virulenţă a imperialismului evreiesc al cărui scop este instaurarea Republicii Universale sub conducerea plutocratici iudaice. Cu un program istoric perfect etapizat, folosind o varietate largă de mijloace şi metode de la cele psihologice la cele economice, iudaismul a reuşit să stăpânească şi să folosească în vederea scopului propus trei state occidentale: Franţa, Anglia şi Statele Unite care s-au transformat în portdrapelul desfiinţării statelor naţionale şi al federalizării lor în vederea realizării voinţei conducerii supreme a iudaismului mondial concretizată în Republica Universală. Structurile acesteia au fost construite cu abilitate după cel de-al doilea război mondial. Se numesc: O.N.U.; Consiliul de Securitate; Fondul Monetar Internaţional; Comunitatea Europeană; NATO; Banca Mondială. Războiul rece a finalizat încă o etapă istorică a ofensivei imperialismului evreiesc împotriva STATELOR NAŢIONALE ramase puternice în Europa de Est prin sistemul economic CAER şi sub scutul militar al Uniunii Sovietice. Cartea de faţă este un răspuns românesc la ofensiva generală a imperialismului iudeu, şi, îndeosebi, la asaltul dat României, stat unitar, suveran şi independent, ofensivă imperialistă susţinută prin valuri succesive de atac încă de la începutul secolului trecut. Drama, decăderea şi deriva temporară a României de astăzi este finalizarea a două secole de luptă a evreimii internaţionale care prin războiul atipic declarat direct ţării, prin lovitura de stat din 1989, contrarevoluţie, masonizarea şi iudaizarea vârfurilor puterii contrarevoluţionare, a reuşit să anuleze statutul independent şi suveran al starului român, silindu-l să facă o politică economică sinucigaşă, să se înregimenteze în organismele internaţionaliste şi să intre sub incidenţa legilor suprastatale care-l vor anula dacă întregul Est european solid ancorat în NAŢIONAL nu va reuşi să-şi recâştige statutul suveran.

  • Saint John of Capistrano
    Saint John of Capistrano SAINT OF THE DAY 23-10-2020 Saint John of Capistrano (1386-1456) was a great protagonist of his time. He is known, among other things, for his role in the siege of Belgrade, in defence of Christianity already shaken by the Muslim capture of Constantinople. His mother was a noblewoman from Abruzzo, who married a German baron. John's youth was not easy. His father was killed by a rival group when he was a child. He graduated in Law and became a judge in Perugia on behalf of the King of Naples, but when the Umbrian city fell into the hands of the Malatesta family he was imprisoned. His time in prison marked him deeply and it was then that he had two visions: in one Saint Francis appeared to him urging him to work for God, in the other he saw a multitude of people in darkness, with a ray of light filtering through the gloom. When he was released from prison, John joined the Franciscans. Because of his fame as a jurist and his diplomatic skills he received various assignments - including that of inquisitor - from the popes he met. He was committed to opposing the Fraticelli, a current that had detached itself from the Franciscan Order and had been declared heretical. He became a friend of St Bernardine of Siena and supported both his devotion to the Most Holy Name of Jesus and the reform of the Franciscan Observance (which aimed to observe the Rule in all its rigour but always in obedience to the Church).
