Existence Of God Society And Culture
2,035 wordsThe Fourth Lateran Council was a watershed in the religious life of the middle ages. On November 11, 1215, Pope Innocent III painted an alarming picture of a Church dissolving in a sea of heresy. He could paint such a picture because the success of popular heretical and evangelical movements, such as the Waldensians and Albigensians, was positively explosive.

Economic Self Sufficiency Natural Laws
1,218 wordsThe role of law and the function of society has been a source of debate over centuries. As different forms of government, from tyranny to democracy are tried and questioned, the human need for both society and law has remained constant; both are so innately human that they are inseparable within human existence.

Institution Of Marriage Homosexual Marriages

Advantage Of The Stronger Line Of Logic Justice
1,163 wordsPlato's profound early writing on politics, ethics and education discussed in the Republic are the foundations of todays governments, nations and discourses. At least that is what I am told. Plato's ideology and reasoning are not always the most believable and desirable, it makes me wonder which part of todays government practices must give due to the Republic (to be discovered in Gov 101). While it is easy to be disgusted with Plato's idealism and philosophy, which seems to deter any type of an...
