Saint Joseph Pignatelli – A patron saint of vocations. Voltaire the ideologue of the French Revolution said: “Once that we have destroyed the Jesuits, then we will have an open line of attack against the Infamous Thing”. “The Infamous Thing” of course was the whole Church. The order of St. Ignatius seemed then to be the most formidable bastion of Catholic principles.   The masons considered the Society of Jesus as the light cavalry of the Church.      In 1767 the masons pushed European rulers to expel the Jesuits from their countries. King Charles III of Spain gave into the Masonic demands and expelled the Jesuits from Spain and her colonies.

El juego del bien, la belleza y la virtud.

El juego del bien, la belleza y la virtud. Vincent Capuano, S. J. (este trabajo fue presentado hace unos años en la Semana Tomista en Buenos Aires, proximamente será publicado en la revista Gladius.) En el año 1960 Han-Georg Gadamer publicó la edición alemana de Verdad y Método 1 . El tema del libro es la hermenéutica filosófica . Escondido 2 en su obra hay una sección donde se desarrolla una fenomenología de juego que él afirma es una pista para entender el concepto de comprensión. 3 . Al ser un fenomenólogo Gadamer no define el concepto de juego, ni afirma proposiciones ni demuestra sistemáticamente su tesis. Su objetivo es encontrar el sentido y legitimizar ideas pero no comprobarlas con una lógica silogística. Solamente quiere mostrar que el juego es una pista o indicio que se puede usar para entender algunas verdades fundamentales sobre el concepto hermenéutico de la comprensión 4 . Para lograr eso describe el fenómeno del juego como un apar...
