Arts and History

Christus Rex
Vatican Exhibit The City Reborn
By the fourteenth century, the great ancient city had dwindled to a miserable village. Perhaps 20,000 people clung to the ruins despite the ravages of disease and robber barons. Popes and cardinals had fled to Avignon in southern France. Rome was dwarfed in wealth and power by the great commercial cities and territorial states farther north, from Florence to Venice. In the Renaissance, however, the popes returned to the See of Saint Peter.

Ancient Palestine with Biblical References
This work continues to be labor of respect for all the quality scholarship and achievements that Syro-Palestinian archaeologists (that is, biblical archaeologists) have made to our understanding of the Near East since Edward Robinson, the great Harvard scholar, toured the lands of the bible early in the nineteenth century of the common era.
The Shroud of Turin
Learn about this fascinating Christian historical artifact, which may be the burial cloth of Christ. If this is so, then this is undoubtedly the most important relic in Christianity. If not, this is still one of the most fascinating items not only for Christianity, but for science as well.
Catacombs
Early Christian history records the use of underground caves and chambers for a dual purpose when Christianity had not yet gained the ascendancy: burial of the dead, and secret meetings. Such caves are referred to as ''Catacombs'', from the Latin term Ad Catacumbas used for the first finding of such a cave on the outskirts of Rome.
Languedoc
Here were found the Christians that most historians slandered as Cathari. These pious believers were later referred to as Albigensians. Because they possessed nonCatholic religious views many biased historians slandered and slurred them! Nevertheless, there was uninterrupted Judaic-Christianity throughout southern France. It was pure, free from Catholic ecclesiastical association.
