Home: Core Subjects: History: World: LINKS_PAGE Core Subjects: History: World: LINKS_PAGEArticles:On Jewish History - Christopher DawsonAnyone who, like myself, has devoted himself to the study of the history of civilizations or of Western culture cannot go far in it without becoming aware of the importance of the Jews. Yet we have to travel a long way before we begin to understand the significance of Jewish history. Email This Article Pius XII: Saintly defender of European Jews - Mary Jo AndersonA rebuttal to the hyper hysterics of Rabbi Boteach's article, “Pius XII: Collaborator and kidnapper” is simple: No good deed goes unpunished. And, apparently, a heroic deed will be punished with a vengeance. Email This Article Pope Pius XII and the Jews - SR. MARGHERITA MARCHIONEPope Pius XII has been unfairly blamed over the past fifty years: for not having denounced Hitler publicly, for his perceived inaction against the Nazis, and for his failure to help the Jews. Email This Article Preface and Introduction to All Ye Lands - Michael J. Van Hecke & James HitchcockThe Catholic Schools Textbook Project restores what has been lost in the secular texts and offers beautiful illustrations to accompany the story. We extend to teachers and students the first distinctively Catholic history textbooks since the 1960s. Email This Article Remembering Lepanto - Michael NovakThe future author of Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes, served on one of the Christian galleys in what he called the greatest naval sea battle in history and the most important to that time for the safety of Europe.

We may be entering a period of conceptual uncertainty about the most difficult of all society’s dilemmas — when or when not to use force — and we need not emotion, but cool heads and an objective analysis of the past. Email This Article Rethinking the Crusades - William UrbanWe encourage our history students to venture beyond the memorization of facts and concepts. We should do the same by periodically rethinking the meaning of critical moments in the past. The time is ripe for a reassessment of the Crusades in light of our present concerns. There are four plausible directions this reassessment will take. Email This Article Roman Catholicism - Fr. John Hardon, S.J.Not the least difficulty in writing about Catholicism is the problem of isolating the subject. The history of the Catholic Church is so closely woven into Christian civilization that the one cannot be told fairly without the other. Email This Article Roman Cruelty, Christian Purity - Mike AquilinaIt was Christian morality, and the evident love of Christian families, that gradually converted the Roman Empire. Email This Article Russia, Communism, and the Future of the World - Fr. Robert J. FoxThe plan of communism, instigated over a century ago, called for a violent overthrow of existing society.
