“I love the freedom of others,” said St. Josemaria, “yours, that of the person passing by right now on the street, because if I didn’t love it, I couldn’t defend mine. But that’s not the main reason. The main reason is this: that Christ died on the Cross to give us freedom, so that we could live in the freedom and glory of the children of God.”St. Josemaría Escrivá referred to himself as the “last of the Romantics,” and under this title Mariano Fazio portrays the founder of Opus Dei as a passionate defender of freedom. As he does so, Fazio offers an orderly, clear, and attractive presentation of many of St. Josemaría’s key teachings. These teachings will challenge his readers and hopefully awaken in them the same love of freedom that St. Josemaría bore in his heart. “Don’t let me be ‘the last of the romantics,’” he would say. “This is Christian romanticism: to love the freedom of others, with love and affection.”

Fazio Fernández, Mariano - Historias de las ideas conemporaneas - Language: Spanish, History & Biography - Format: ePub
El hilo conductor de este recorrido por la historia contemporánea es el proceso de secularización, característico de nuestra cultura, tratado desde una visión cristiana del hombre y de la historia. Tras exponer las claves de la (More) época moderna (siglos XVI-XVII), el autor analiza las principales ideologías contemporáneas -liberalismo, nacionalismo, marxismo, cientificismo- y subraya su papel de religiones sustitutivas. Una tercera parte trata la crisis de la cultura de la Modernidad en el siglo XX, y examina con detalle el nihilismo, la sociedad permisiva y los movimientos culturales de mayor actualidad: feminismo, ecologismo y los nuevos movimientos religiosos. Concluye con un profundo análisis de la relación entre la Iglesia Católica y el mundo contemporáneo.
Fazio Fernández, Mariano - El Siglo de Oro español: de Garcilaso a Calderón - Language: Spanish, History & Biography - Format: ePub
¿Qué sucede en España entre 1492 y 1681 para que ese período sea denominado Siglo de Oro? Las fechas vienen determinadas por el final de la Reconquista y el descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo, y por la muerte del último de una serie (More) de escritores extraordinarios: Pedro Calderón de la Barca. En medio, contemplamos acontecimientos asombrosos: los reinos españoles manifiestan una potencia política y militar sin precedentes, y también una penosa decadencia, que coincidirá con un apogeo de las artes, en especial de la literatura (Garcilaso, Cervantes, Lope, Teresa de Jesús y Juan de la Cruz, Tirso, etc.) y de la pintura (El Greco, Velázquez, Zurbarán, Murillo, entre otros).
