19345345San Antonio Tx: Incarnate Word 1934. Good. 4pp. Folio. Previously folded with some separation at fore-edge from central horizontal fold. Chipping at edges affecting some text at corners and fore-edge. Browned and a somewhat brittle. A scarce diatribe against the secular Mexican government issued by Leopoldo Ruiz the Archbishop of Morelia from the safety of the Catholic University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio during late 1934. The text demonstrates the ongoing tensions and conflict between religious and government authorities in Mexico following the Cristero War in the late 1920s the period of greatest violence between the two sides after the adoption of the Constitution of 1917. Ruiz was Pope Pius XI's direct representative in negotiations with the Mexican government to resolve their disagreements but such was the animus of the parties that he was exiled in 1932 after which he settled in San Antonio whence he published this screed addressed to the "bishopry clergy and Catholics of Mexico" in which accused the government of "revolutionary Socialism" that obligated the dutiful opposition of the Church. A very scarce San Antonio Spanish-language imprint; OCLC locates only a pair of microfiched copies of this text at Emory and BYU with the origin of the original unclear. Incarnate Word unknown

Owner's name to FFEP else FINE--exceedingly clean and sharp; DJ showing just some trivial shelf wear price intact and now wrapped in mylar. 'T. S. Eliot has observed that the work of Adrienne von Speyr embodies 'a new experience of Christian sensibility' to which 'there is nothing to do but to submit one-self.' In CONFESSION The Encounter with Christ in Penance this new experience is reflected by the non-technical treatment of the sacrament of penance by the opening up of its personal dimension and by its relation to the theology of the Trinity and the mission of Christ. Too often in traditional prayer-books and manuals of piety Confession has been defined in terms rooted in the vocabulary of law courts with the result that this sacrament is often understood as a kind of mechanical process entailing only the payment of fines and the making of amends.'
