+ Why did Trump Recognize Jerusalem as Israel's Capital?
-
- Description: Early this afternoon President Trump announced he will officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and vowed to begin plans to move the US Embassy there from Tel Aviv. It's a move that was originally suggested by President Clinton in 1995 but has been continuously delayed since then. Many European leaders, as well as Pope Francis, have spoken against the decision, citing peace concerns. We'll take a look at the history of Jerusalem in the Arab/Israeli conflicts and the implications of this decision.

Heroism and Genius: How Catholic Priests Helped Build—and Can Help Rebuild—Western Civilization
"Every chancellery in Europe, every court in Europe, was ruled by these learned, trained and accomplished men—the priesthood of that great and dominant body." — President Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom With stubborn facts historians have handed in their verdict: from the genius of Christianity and the cultures of the Jews, Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Germanic peoples, the Catholic Church built a new and original civilization, embodying within its structures the Christian vision of God and man, time and eternity. Its construction and maintenance, amid attrition and cultural earthquakes, is a saga spread over seventeen hundred years. Although Catholic priests do not hold a monopoly on the struggles or the achievements involved, nevertheless, from A.D. 300 to 1000, because they numbered so many men of heroism and genius in their ranks, and due to their leadership positions, they became the pioneers and irreplaceable builders of a new culture and Christian socio-political order. Heroism and Genius presents some of these formidable men: Fathers of Western Culture, of free-enterprise economics, and of the institution of chivalry; leaders of nations, statesmen, and defiers of tyrants; music composers, pioneers of universal education, and architects of some of the world’s loveliest buildings; and, enigmatically, the clandestine revolutionaries behind the explosion of the culture of romantic love bonded to Christian marriage whose aura still enchants the air of the West.
