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. Read more... 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. Read more... 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.

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. Read more...

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. Read more... 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. Read more...
