@realtruthcactus It can be quite confusing. The 1962 Missal offers helpful notes on the scriptural basis for many "smells and bells" aspects of the Mass. It may even be said that the Book of Revelation offers the most mystical and comprehensive guide to the liturgy.      fuente

By Man Shall His Blood Be Shed
A Catholic Defense of Capital Punishment
Edward Feser - 2017-05-10
Calificación de Goodreads
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. By Man Shall His Blood Be Shed challenges contemporary Catholics to engage in a thoughtful analysis of the current debate about the death penalty.

El Decamerón book cover
El Decamerón
Giovanni Boccaccio - 2003-04-29 (publicado por primera vez en 1349)
Calificación de Goodreads
Il 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.

If you're looking for the perfect quarantine read, there's no better book than that classic and hilarious work of plague literature, Boccaccio's Decameron.      fuente
The Virtue of Nationalism book cover
The Virtue of Nationalism
Yoram Hazony - 2018-09-04
Calificación de Goodreads
This 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.
