Summary

This book is an educational text written to introduce our readers to Western Civilization. How it was born and how it grew to become the world's leading civilization in the last century, for better or for worse.The text tells the story of the genesis and decline of our civilization through two revolutionary figures: Jesus of Nazareth and Karl Marx. The thesis on which the book is based is that just as Christianity erased Greco-Roman civilization from the face of the earth, Socialism, transformed into Progressivism, is killing Western Civilization dragging it toward suicide.The disease that is overwhelming us is nihilism.We affirm that Progressives are the new Christians because, as the first Christians did, they are the bearers of a disease that is terminal for our society: nihilism. This book is the history of nihilism starting from Jesus of Nazareth and ending with our Progressives.We must point out that although Jesus’ vision included nihilistic elements, it also laid the ethical foundations that shaped Western Civilization.  In contrast, Marx’s revelation, deeply nihilistic, influenced modern Progressivism leading to existential challenges for our civilization. In other words, our future is a black hole.Fom Jesus to Marx, by Marcello Caroti, is a profound historical and anthropological exploration that starts from the revolutionary figure of Jesus Christ to arrive at the modern ideologies of Karl Marx.In this intriguing journey through the centuries, the author sheds light on how the teachings and actions of Jesus influenced not only religious thought but also the social and political currents that have shaped the modern world.The book begins by analysing Jesus' mission in detail, exploring his differences with John the Baptist and how his message of hope and salvation stood out in an era of rigid social and religious divisions.The author then traces an intellectual and historical path that connects the doctrines of Jesus with the theories of Marx, highlighting how Christianity influenced and shaped Marxist thought.With clear language and engaging narrative, "From Jesus to Marx" is not only essential reading for history and antropology buffs, but also for anyone interested in understanding the roots of modern thought and its impact on society. The book offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective on two of the most influential figures in human history and their lasting impact.

    The Abbey of Einsiedeln is one of the most important baroque monastic sites. On the site of the cell of the hermit Meinrad a Benedictine monastery was built in the early Middle Ages. Over the course of time, a pilgrimage developed, first to the chapel built on the site of Meinrad’s cell, then to the first image of the Virgin Mary, consecrated by the Lord, in this chapel. Even today, the chapel with the miraculous statue of the Black Madonna is still the destination of a pilgrimage that radiates far and wide. The present abbey was built in the Baroque period according to the plans of Brother Caspar Moosbrugger, with the church in the centre and the monastery square in front. The abbey has survived all the storms of time, the Reformation and the suppression during the French invasion, and still houses a lively Benedictine monastery.

    When we think of the Renaissance, we often think of paintings. And indeed, many painters and sculptors were part of the artistic transformation the Renaissance caused. But there was more. The Renaissance basically formed a period of collective enlightenment and freedoms that put an end to certain tyrannies and false notions from the Middle Ages. 
The Renaissance is a time in European history marking the shift from the Middle Ages to modernity and covering the 15th and 16th centuries, identified by an effort to restore and exceed ideas and accomplishments of classical antiquity. It happened after the Crisis of the Late Middle Ages and was related to great social change. Aside from the basic periodization, advocates of a "long Renaissance" might put its start in the 14th century and its end in the 17th century. 
Rather than a few years or specific dates, let’s take a look at what the extensive time period of the Renaissance provided, and what it leaves us with today.
