THE HISTORY OF THE POPES

The World and its Civilization, as we know it, it cannot be understood without the existence of the Christian Universal Revolution by the Son of God, KING JESUS, accomplished; and the existence of Christianity cannot be aprehended if we erase from its making the existence of the Catholic Church; and the Life of the Catholic World cannot be comprehended without the History of the Popes. The Popes and the Church are one and unique reality.

If we want to travel to the core of the structure of the World as it is, we have to put together Politics and Religion. To disentangle one from another was the main cause which led the XXth Century to the fields of the World Wars. Man, indeed, tends to fall on the same stone over and over again. Needless to say to know the Past it's trascendental at the time to march towards the Future avoiding the falling in those black holes in which Mankind fell again and again.

In this section of the "T.M.L. Reading Hall" I will put together those main forces, the spiritual and the temporal, ergo, Politics and Religion, which were the arms and legs of the Western World History ever since our King and Lord, Jesus Christ, devoted His Life to free Mankind from the consequences of the Fall. By doing this, I hope to open a door in the walls built by the centuries between men and men, nations and nations; walls from whose towers a cry of eternal war among and against the churches have been heard all over the Earth. To reach this goal I will bring forth the masterworks of authors whose hearts and minds were devoted to claim Peace as the road to the Future, and a Future based and Wisdom and Union of all men, nations, and churches around the Fire of the Love for Justice and Truth.

Life in the Universe cannot hold its existence without its Creator. And, as we have seen, and the XXth Century is the best lesson, the farther man gets from God, the closer we gets to Global War. The Reason of Faith is to maintain this Union between God and Man. To know is to understand, but to knowing we have to read, and today, thanks to the Revolution of the 3W Intelligence, we have this door open to all people. Let this be for good.
