Colombian Left May Be On The Verge Of Winning PowerThe Colombian Left has seen its greatest electoral successes ever in 2022.

The governing right-wing party has almost totally collapsed, winning only 12% of the vote. Those elected to Congress in March included a few leaders of an historic general str... read more

Supreme Court’s Latest Decision Devastating For Death Row InmatesOn May 23, 2022, the Supreme Court issued yet another decision that does greater injustice to the US criminal (in)justice system. It ruled that state prisoners cannot submit claims of inadequate counsel to federal courts, thereby adding yet another barrier to those on death row who are seeking relief amidst serious concerns that justice was not served. In a 6-3 opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the majority and did not defend a constitutional right, purportedly the Court’s job, but rather expressed system concerns, asserting that the federal courts must “afford unwavering... read more

Conquering National Culture by Transforming the Places of WorshipBetween the fourth and the sixth centuries AD, the christians pushed paganism out of the Roman Empire by transforming the architecture of the Roman towns and cities. They converted many pagan temples into churches. They built new churches in prominent locations. The transformation was so extreme that by the end of the sixth century, the churches vastly outnumbered the pagan temples. In many regions there were no pagan temples left. For most people, it is a basic need to flock to buildings recognized as holy places for engaging in some form of communal worship. If the temples dedic... read more
