century Catholic cultural revival. His historical works present the
Church’s Christocentric view of history while utilizing the scholarly
tools of a modern historian. Yet few historians, even Catholic
historians working within the Catholic historiographic milieu, are
familiar with the historical thought of Carroll, and even fewer have
engaged his thought in their scholarship. This article seeks to rectify
that deficiency by presenting Carroll’s twin historical principles,
“Truth exists” and “The Incarnation happened,” as a model for
Catholic historical studies.

It then connects this role of memory in history to Pope Francis' emphasis on the importance of the elderly, especially grandparents. The article is expanded from a talk given at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio as part of the symposium entitled "Pope Francis’ Vision for the Renewal of the Church," November 10-12, 2016.

Pope John Paul II as found in their lives and their writings. This thesis is a historical and theological project, examining not only the theological developments of these popes’ papalogy, but also how their pontificates enacted their theological developments. The strength of these pontiffs’ papalogy laid the foundation for them receiving the title “the Great.”

On the bloody battlefields of France, a generation of soldiers died. Those that survived rose from the ashes as new men, transformed by witnessing the hatred of nationalism and the horror of men slaughtered by machines. It was this war, one of the worst in human history, which J. R. R. Tolkien witnessed firsthand. It forever shaped his view of life and death, of man and technology.
To understand the influence that this war, and in particular this battle, had on Tolkien, we must examine the historical account of the war itself. To that end, this chapter offers a cursory history of World War I, in particular the Battle of the Somme in 1916, at which Tolkien fought, contracted “trench fever,” and lost two dear friends. Tolkien’s life in the context of the war is also examined.
