S. Ignatius' discoursing of the bishop's power, commands subjection to him in so large and comprehensive terms, that they seem to put an end to all further enquiries in this rule of conscience, by making all enquiries to be useless; because an obedience universal is due. Necesse est nt quicquid facitis, nihil sine episcopo tentelis, et in nullo illi refragari: and again"1, Nee quicquam videatur vobis consentaneum quod sit prater illius judicium; quod enim tale est, Deo inimicum est: 'it is necessary that whatsoever ye do, ye do nothing without the bishop; that ye be obedient to him, and be refractory against him in nothing:' ' neither let any thing please you that is besides his judgment; for whatsoever is so is an enemy to God.' The same also he repeats in other places", and gives it in command to other churches. But this is too general to guide any man, and therefore of itself requires a limit: and therefore himself does explicate it in his letter to the church of Smyrna0: Sine episcopo nemo quicquam facial eorum qua ad ecelesiam spectant, ' without the bishop let no man do any thing of that which belongs to the church:' that is, whatsoever is entrusted to the bishop's char... ...

A classic description of modern naval warfare
This was Taylor's first novel, written while the Soviet navy was still a dominant force on the world's seas.It is set in a "near future" in which two US and Soviet naval battle groups meet and engage in a remote corner of the globe.Taylor creates a well detailed picture of modern naval warfare, describing both the high speed engagements of computer driven missile duels and the thoughts of the opposing task force commanders as they manuever, attempting to anticipate each other's moves in a deadly chess-like game.The author is superb at illustrating both the awesome power and the severe weaknesses of carrier battle groups.The characters are believable and sympathetic.There are many heroes but no villains, just warriors demonstrating great courage as they serve their respective countries.The book is out of print and 25 years old, but it is well worth reading for the excellent descriptions of naval battles and for its reminder of the lesson that military veterans know only too well: that warfare is bloody and deadly, and should be entered as a last resort and for only the best and most necessary reasons.

From Cuba to World War III

a graduate of Annapolis. He joins the crew of the USS Bagley, a World War II destroyer, in 1961. The Bagley's sent to cover the Bay of Pigs Invasion. The Bagley's orders change to no support. Twenty-two years later, Charles and

allemagne années de feu
Le témoignage bouleversant de sincérité d'un pasteur ayant fui le nazisme peu de temps avant le début de la seconde guerre mondiale. Persécutée et baillonnée, une partie du clergé luthérien a constitué le noyau dur de la résistance au national-socialisme, dans des conditions particulièrement difficiles en raison de l'endoctrinement massif de la population allemande sous le Troisième Reich. Les ressorts du totalitarisme sont particulièrement bien analysés dans ce récit d'une portée universelle ... Read more
