In Italy, many scholars have been studying the human condition and are calling it the Renaissance or the “rebirth” of Greek, Roman and Biblical literature. Is it correct to read for one’s own understanding instead of blindly following what the Vatican says the Bible says? Does the fact that the Renaissance piqued my interest make me a bad Catholic, what would Queen Isabella think if she could hear my thoughts? She would

• There is a very clear difference in the level of skill and method of the art between Paleolithic and Etruscan age art.

Antoine Robidoux was the most colorful and perhaps the best known of the six Robidoux brothers. He is known so much not through the records of St. Louis or St. Joseph, as through the documentary sources from places scattered across the Western half of the United States and from a wide array of others who knew and met him and briefly described their encounter.
