When Karol Wojtyła stepped onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica in 1978 as John Paul II, he was only 58. Though that seemed unusual at the time, the previous century saw Pius IX elected at 54. Although we aren’t likely to see a pope as young as 20-year-old Benedict IX, elected in 1031, it’s safe to say that Pius and John Paul have broken the mold and made it possible for virtually anyone to be elected to the […]
O ministro Alexandre de Moraes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), deu prazo para a Procuradoria-Geral da República (PGR) analisar um pedido de prisão preventiva contra o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro, por suposta obstrução de Justiça. A ação se deu depois da manifestação pela anistia no Rio de Janeiro, e foi movida pela vereadora Liana Cirne, do PT de Recife.

Com um olhar, você se despediu de mim. Com um sorriso, você se despediu de mim. Eu não imaginava que aquele dia seria o último, não imaginava que seria uma despedida. Sabe? Eu chorei por muito tempo. Eu orei por você, eu pedi para Deus cuidar de você. Eu queria que você tivesse aparecido nos meus sonhos, eu queria matar a saudade, mas infelizmente você não apareceu. A morte […]
Writes Wayne Goodfellow: Canada is about to discover Mark Carney is the man with the reverse Midas touch. After ten years of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government, Canadians are referring to these years as the lost decade of stagnant growth, high inflation, exploding debt, a plummeting Canadian dollar, increased taxes including a carbon tax, unaffordable housing, mass immigration, higher crime rates and a failing health care system. Another five years under Trudeau’s mentor, Mark Carney, may be enough time […]
Peter Van Doren The New York Times recently described a forthcoming election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the role of Elon Musk as the leading contributor to one of the candidates. His interest stems from the role of the court in adjudicating the fate of a Wisconsin law that mandates that cars be sold through franchised dealers. Tesla’s business model uses direct sales rather than dealers. The Wisconsin law and those in other states date from the 1930–1950 […]
what did Murray N. Rothbard think about Hans-Hermann Hoppe? Murray N. Rothbard held Hans-Hermann Hoppe in extremely high regard, considering him one of the most brilliant and important scholars in the libertarian and Austrian economics traditions. Rothbard saw Hoppe as a key intellectual ally, particularly in advancing anarcho-capitalist thought and integrating rigorous philosophical justifications for private property and free markets.

It has long been a commonplace among commentators of the Confessions that the first nine books are about Augustine’s ardent search for truth, leaving reflections on its meaning for the remaining four books.

Putting […]
