This week we welcome Tim Follett, the founder and CEO of Structure Flow, a visual structuring tool designed specifically for lawyers. The conversation begins with a light-hearted discussion about recent events each attended. Greg shares his experience at the KM&I conference in New York, while Tim recounts his time at the Legal Geek conference in London. Marlene, not to be left out, talks about participating in Houston's Biketoberfest at the ION innovation hub and her insightful presentation with Ian Wilson from Servient on eDiscovery workflow. Tim delves into his experience at Legal Geek, highlighting the festival-like atmosphere and the palpable momentum within the legal tech ecosystem. He notes a significant increase in focus on AI and legal technology, emphasizing how these tools are becoming integral in the industry. The diversity and growth of the event reflect the expanding interest and investment in legal tech solutions worldwide. The discussion transitions to the critical role of data visualization in the legal sector. Tim explains how his frustrations as a corporate attorney—particularly the tedious process of creating structure charts in PowerPoint—led him to develop Structure Flow. He underscores the importance of visual tools in capturing and communicating complex information, making it more accessible and understandable. Visualizing relationships and connections help lawyers cut through complexity, a necessity in today's intricate legal landscape. Exploring the integration of AI, Tim describes how Structure Flow leverages artificial intelligence to enhance data visualization. By using large language models, the platform can automate the translation of written language into visual diagrams, effectively reducing manual workload and increasing efficiency. This capability is particularly useful in tasks like legal entity rationalization, where visualizing extensive data sets can be daunting and time-consuming. Looking ahead, Tim shares his vision for the future of visualization tools in the legal industry. He envisions a seamless, interconnected tech stack where lawyers can initiate new matters with AI assistance, pulling in all necessary information and working across multiple platforms through a unified interface. This integrated approach aims to reduce mental load, improve collaboration, and ultimately transform how legal professionals interact with complex data. The episode concludes with Tim's enthusiasm about expanding Structure Flow's presence in the U.S. market, bolstered by recent Series A funding, and his insights into the evolving landscape of legal technology.   Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@gebauerm⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@glambert⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Transcript

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 3, 2024 is: connive • kuh-NYVE • verb To connive is to secretly help someone do something dishonest or illegal. // Roger suspected that his coworkers were conniving to get him fired when in reality they were planning his surprise birthday party. See the entry > Examples: "The truth is that conflict on the river will never be stilled because there will always be more demand for the water than there is water. As I reported in 'Colossus,' my 2010 book about the building of Hoover Dam, [Herbert] Hoover and his deputy, Arthur Powell Davis, connived in 1922 to exaggerate the Colorado River's flow in order to persuade all seven states that it carried enough water to serve their interests, then and into the future." — Michael Hiltzik, The Los Angeles Times, 8 Feb. 2023 Did you know? Connive may not seem like a term that would raise many hackles, but it certainly raised those of Wilson Follett, a usage critic who lamented that the word "was undone during the Second World War, when restless spirits felt the need of a new synonym for plotting, bribing, spying, conspiring, engineering a coup, preparing a secret attack." Follett thought connive should only mean "to wink at" or "to pretend ignorance." Those senses are closer to the Latin ancestor of the word: connive comes from the Latin verb connivēre, which means "to close the eyes" and which is descended from -nivēre, a form akin to the Latin verb nictare, meaning "to wink." But many English speakers disagreed, and the "conspire" sense is now the word's most widely used meaning.

What makes a city truly great? In this episode, we dive into the tapestry of cities that have shaped human history with Chelsea Follett, author of 'Centers of Progress: 40 Cities That Changed the World.' From the invention of writing to the digital revolutions in modern metropolises, we explore the key factors that have allowed cities to become centers of progress, innovation, and enduring impact. Episode HighlightsThe book looks at 40 cities throughout history that made major contributions to human progress, starting with ancient cities like Jericho that developed agriculture to modern cities like San Francisco that drove the digital revolution.Many of the featured centers of progress reached their peak during periods of peace and stability, often characterized by open trade, effective governance, and intellectual freedom.Paris' intellectual vibrancy in the Enlightenment and the 1920s and Cambridge's enduring scientific contributions highlight that being a center of progress can be a lasting trait for cities.The extraordinary concentration of genius in Athens and Florence led to a cross-pollination of ideas that still resonates today.Despite its smaller size, Edinburgh has made outsized contributions to various fields, thanks to its robust educational system and culture of intellectual curiosity.What's next? In March 2024, the Cato Institute plans to release a companion volume titled "Heroes of Progress" about individuals who made significant contributions to progress and changed the world.Chelsea Follett: LinkedIn, X/TwitterCato Institute: Website, LinkedIn, X/TwitterHumanProgress.org: Website, Facebook, X/Twitter Centers of Progress: 40 Cities That Changed the World Austin Next Links: Website, X/Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn

The History of the Christian Church

El título de este episodio 65 es Escolasticismo_________________________________________________Una de las cuestiones más importantes a las que se han enfrentado filósofos y teólogos a lo largo de los siglos ha sido la interacción entre la Fe y la Razón. ¿Son enemigas o aliadas? ¿La fe cristiana es razonable o un salto ciego hacia una oscuridad irracional? Un gran avance en la respuesta a esto se produjo con la aparición de un grupo de teólogos medievales conocidos como los Escolásticos. Entre ellos destacan Anselmo de Canterbury en el siglo XI y Tomás de Aquino en el XIII.En su novela Los Pilares de la Tierra, el autor Ken Follett teje una intrigante historia sobre la construcción de una catedral en Inglaterra. Aunque la catedral y la ciudad son ficticias, Follett hace un trabajo magistral al captar la mentalidad y la visión de la arquitectura medieval.He tenido el privilegio de visitar varias veces la catedral de Colonia, en Alemania, y me fascina lo que allí se encuentra. Mientras que a algunos evangélicos estadounidenses modernos que critican la tradición puede que les eche para atrás toda la elaborada decoración y el simbolismo religioso de las catedrales Góticas de Europa, la mayoría las encuentran fascinantes estudios de arte, arquitectura y, con un poco de investigación, interesantes expresiones de pensamiento teológico. Verás, la catedral Gótica no era sólo un edificio; era un intento de encarnar los pensamientos de la época sobre Dios y el hombre.  Como dice Bruce Shelly: "Los maestros medievales del estilo gótico intentaron representar en piedra y cristal la búsqueda religiosa central del hombre. Querían representar una tensión. Por un lado estaba el hombre que aspiraba a alcanzar las alturas del cielo; por otro, estaba Dios que condescendería a dirigirse al más pequeño de los hombres".Las columnas, los arcos y los campanarios apuntan hacia arriba como dedos hacia el cielo. Pero hacia abajo llega la luz a través de las vidrieras que iluminan la Tierra y, más concretamente, a quienes se han reunido en su interior para buscar a Dios. Es la versión del arquitecto de la razón humana y la revelación divina.Las escuelas que albergaban estas catedrales dieron origen a las universidades de la Edad Media posterior. Su tarea consistía en comprender y explicar la Creación a la luz de la Palabra y los Caminos revelados de Dios. Al igual que las Cruzadas fueron un intento de extender la autoridad de Dios sobre el Medio Oriente, las universidades esperaban extender la comprensión de Dios y Su creación sobre el reino de la mente.Pero, ¿cómo se sometía el mundo de las ideas al gobierno de Dios? ¿Cómo iba a convertirse la razón en sierva de la fe? Esta época del pensamiento cristiano se denomina "Escolástica" porque surgieron métodos distintivos de erudición y surgió una teología única. El objetivo de los escolásticos era doble: conciliar la doctrina cristiana con la razón humana y ordenar las enseñanzas de la Iglesia en un sistema ordenado.Pero, es importante que señalemos desde el principio que una búsqueda libre de la verdad no estaba en el horizonte de los escolásticos. Las doctrinas de la fe cristiana ya estaban fijadas. El propósito de los escolásticos era mostrar la razonabilidad de esas doctrinas y explicarlas.Las primeras universidades estaban íntimamente ligadas a la Iglesia. Solían tener su sede en las catedrales. Un académico medieval era, la mayoría de las veces, un sacerdote o un monje. Esto comenzó siglos antes, cuando Benito de Nursia insistió en que los monjes estudiaran como medio para su desarrollo espiritual. En el siglo VIII, Carlomagno, mientras soñaba con un imperio cristiano, amplió las oportunidades de estudio mediante un decreto por el que cada monasterio debía tener una escuela para enseñar a los capaces de aprender. El propio emperador dio ejemplo con una escuela en el palacio para sus hijos y la corte.Aunque las escuelas de las catedrales se crearon principalmente para formar al clero, no pasó mucho tiempo antes de que los laicos fueran invitados a asistir también.El plan de estudios se limitaba a gramática, retórica, lógica, aritmética, geometría, música y astronomía -las 7 artes liberales, llamadas así porque en la antigua Roma su estudio se había reservado a los liberi = hombres libres-.  Los pocos textos disponibles eran escritos de un puñado de eruditos de la Alta Edad Media. Los estudiantes aprendían de Casiodoro, Boecio, Agustín, el Papa Gregorio Magno y un puñado de Padres de la Iglesia que el estudiante medieval no se atrevía a cuestionar.Podemos rastrear el nacimiento de las grandes universidades medievales a la influencia de varios maestros destacados. Fue su habilidad en la enseñanza y su entusiasmo por el aprendizaje lo que atrajo a los estudiantes.Entre los primeros de esta nueva raza de eruditos se encontraba Gerberto, maestro de la escuela catedralicia de Reims [reems] en la segunda mitad del siglo X. Aunque procedía de una familia de campesinos, Gerberto se convirtió en el papa Silvestre II. Su genio fue reconocido muy pronto, por lo que fue enviado a estudiar matemáticas a España. Allí conoció la cultura tolerante de los musulmanes. Ésta fue la primera de varias contribuciones significativas de los musulmanes al despertar intelectual cristiano de la Edad Media.Gerberto regresó a Reims muy impresionado por el espíritu investigador e inquisitivo de los eruditos musulmanes. Cuando empezó a enseñar, anunció que las citas de las llamadas autoridades ya no iban a ser aceptadas como la última palabra. A partir de entonces, exigió a sus alumnos que estudiaran los clásicos en su lengua original. Empezó a coleccionar manuscritos donde podía y construyó una importante biblioteca. No era poca cosa si recordamos que un manuscrito podía tardar un año en copiarse y costaba una fortuna.La figura más notable de este primer periodo del escolasticismo fue Pedro Abelardo. Hijo mayor de un noble menor del noroeste de Francia, Pedro cedió sus derechos de herencia a sus hermanos menores para poder vagar por Francia y aprender de los grandes maestros. Pero hizo algo más que escuchar. Desafiaba a aquellos a los que sorprendía en un error factual o filosófico.  No tardó en establecerse como profesor en París, donde atrajo a multitud de estudiantes.También empezó a escribir. En un tratado titulado Sí y No, planteó más de cien preguntas sobre la enseñanza cristiana, a las que respondió con citas contradictorias de las Escrituras, los Padres de la Iglesia e incluso los clásicos paganos. Su argumento era que aún quedaban muchos frentes de debate e investigación por resolver.  Abelardo dijo: "La primera clave de la sabiduría es el cuestionamiento asiduo y frecuente.... Porque dudando llegamos a la indagación, y por la indagación llegamos a la verdad". Esta idea de utilizar la duda para alimentar la búsqueda del conocimiento era algo habitual para los antiguos griegos, pero un terreno peligroso para los europeos medievales. Abelardo tenía unos cuantos admiradores, pero muchos más detractores, alarmados por su audaz cuestionamiento de lo que se consideraban autoridades intachables. Después de haber agitado demasiadas ollas y picado demasiadas colmenas, decidió esconderse durante un tiempo en un monasterio.Un año después se fue a vivir a un área abierta al sureste de París. Sus seguidores le construyeron un refugio, labraron su tierra y le rogaron que volviera a enseñar. Así que, reanudando su búsqueda de la razón, Abelardo volvió a enfrentarse a los conservadores religiosos. Fue entonces cuando Abelardo entró en conflicto con Bernardo de Claraval, el famoso predicador de la II Cruzada y el eclesiástico más influyente de la cristiandad. De Abelardo, Bernardo dijo: "La fe del justo cree, no discute". Bernardo consiguió que Abelardo fuera tachado de hereje y excomulgado. Abelardo se retiró a la abadía de Cluny, donde su abad, Pedro el Venerable, persuadió a Bernardo para que se reconciliara con Abelardo. La excomunión fue levantada. Abelardo pasó sus dos últimos años en el monasterio de Cluny, donde fue considerado un gran erudito y un sabio consejero.Dejaré de lado el matrimonio de Abelardo con Heloísa, una de las más notables escenas de amor de la historia.Nadie pudo detener el crecimiento de las semillas que plantó Abelardo. Surgieron escuelas por toda Europa. Menos de cien años después de su muerte, florecieron universidades en París, Orleans y Montpellier en Francia; al otro lado del Canal de la Mancha, en Oxford y Cambridge; y en Bolonia y Padua en Italia, todas ellas encendidas con las ideas que Abelardo despertó.Los estudiantes y sus maestros formaron gremios. Al igual que habían hecho los artesanos desde el Imperio Romano, los eruditos se agruparon para proteger y promover sus intereses. Se llamaban a sí mismos universitas, el nombre medieval de cualquier grupo corporativo.En Italia, la mayoría de los estudiantes eran hombres adultos que cursaban estudios avanzados de derecho y medicina. Sus gremios ejercían un enorme poder. Los estudiantes pagaban a los profesores, determinaban los cursos que debían impartirse y multaban a cualquier profesor que se saltara un capítulo en la exposición de su materia. Sin duda, un giro con respecto a las escuelas actuales.En las universidades Inglesas y Francesas, donde los estudiantes eran más jóvenes, los gremios de eruditos tenían la última palabra. Prohibían los juramentos y el juego, multaban a los estudiantes por saltarse el toque de queda y establecían los modales en la mesa.Las universidades medievales no eran los edificios con paredes de marfil y céspedes que conocemos hoy. Al principio, en Oxford y Cambridge las clases se impartían en chozas y cobertizos junto a los caminos. Se reunían en salas laterales de la catedral en París, en plazas abiertas en Italia.  Cuando el prestigio y los ingresos de un profesor aumentaban, podía alquilar una habitación para sus alumnos, donde se sentaban en suelos cubiertos de paja. Al carecer de propiedad fija, podían trasladarse cuando se enfrentaban a las autoridades locales.Junto con las clases, los maestros utilizaban lo que se llamaban disputas. Dos o más maestros debatían un texto utilizando el método de preguntas y respuestas de Abelardo. Así se desarrolló la Escolástica. Surgió del laborioso proceso de llegar a conclusiones lógicas mediante preguntas, exámenes y la organización de los detalles en un sistema lógico. Las disputas escolásticas provocaban a menudo enfrentamientos acalorados y sentimientos amargos. Las guerras de lógica se prolongaron durante años entre diferentes eruditos, y los partidarios de cada uno vitoreaban a su héroe con fuertes silbidos y pisotones. La cuestión era que los estudiantes aprendían a pensar. La aceptación incuestionable de las autoridades tradicionales ya no estaba asegurada. Ahora, las conclusiones tenían que cuadrar con la doctrina cristiana.El escolasticismo era menos una filosofía o una teología que un método de aprendizaje. Se hacía hincapié en armonizar la fe y la razón. Los escolásticos utilizaron la antigua práctica griega de cuestionar implacablemente la autoridad tradicional.  La verdad ya no se aceptaría sólo porque lo dijeran los que tenían autoridad. La verdad debía analizarse rigurosamente y llevarse al terreno de la razón. Después de todo, ¿no decía la Biblia que debemos amar a Dios con toda nuestra mente?Los escolásticos eran conocidos por su cuidadoso trazado de distinciones. En las aulas y en los libros, los temas se debatían enérgicamente, y una de las partes del debate ni siquiera se creía realmente, sino que se proponía como forma de comprobar el valor de la parte que se afirmaba.Los escolásticos querían armonizar la teología cristiana con la filosofía de la época clásica, especialmente la de Aristóteles y los neoplatónicos.Algunos escolásticos destacados son Alejandro de Hales, Alberto Magno, Duns Escoto, Guillermo de Ockham y Buenaventura. Dos de los más grandes fueron Anselmo de Canterbury y Tomás de Aquino.  La obra maestra de Tomás de Aquino, la Suma Teológica, se considera la obra cumbre de los escolásticos.Anselmo nació en una de las muchas casas nobles de Europa a principios del siglo XI. Como no tenía muchas posibilidades de destacar en el ámbito político, se hizo monje benedictino. Sus estudios le señalaron rápidamente como un hombre de aguda inteligencia y profunda reflexión filosófica. Fue nombrado Arzobispo de Canterbury durante los últimos 17 años de su vida.A menudo se llama a Anselmo el fundador del Escolasticismo, y ejerció una gran influencia en la teología europea. Es más famoso por ser el creador del Argumento Ontológico de la existencia de Dios y de la Teoría de la Satisfacción de la Expiación, según la cual la muerte de Jesús satisfizo las justas exigencias de la justicia de Dios.Anselmo dedicó la mayor parte de su tiempo a elaborar argumentos razonables para las proposiciones teológicas que ya aceptaba como verdaderas por la fe. Su objetivo no era justificar la fe mediante la razón. Quería comprender mejor lo que creía. Consideraba que la razón era la sierva de la fe, y no al revés.  La fe era lo primero y guiaba a la razón. Escribió: "Creo para comprender". Pensaba que las cosas espirituales debían ser objeto de experiencia antes de que pudieran ser comprendidas por el intelecto. Dijo: "El que no cree no ha sentido, y el que no ha sentido, no comprende". Sostenía que Cristo debía llegar al intelecto por la vía de la fe y no a la fe por el intelecto. Se declaró en contra de la creencia ciega, y calificó de pecado de negligencia que quien tiene fe no se esfuerce por conocer.Anselmo dio pruebas razonables de la existencia de Dios y razones convincentes de que Dios es una deidad autoexistente, inmaterial, todopoderosa, compasiva, justa y misericordiosa. En su libro ¿Por qué el Dios-Hombre? Anselmo demostró la relación entre la encarnación y la expiación. Su argumento de que la expiación de Cristo satisfacía a Dios tuvo un poderoso impacto tanto en Lutero como en Calvino siglos más tarde. Escribió sobre la naturaleza de la Trinidad, el pecado original, el libre albedrío, la armonía de la presciencia y la preordenación, y por qué cayó Satanás.Las dos fuentes de conocimiento de Anselmo eran la Biblia y la enseñanza de la Iglesia que, según él, estaban en total acuerdo entre sí y con toda la filosofía verdadera. Sentía la más profunda admiración por Agustín, y su concordancia con él le valió a Anselmo los títulos de "2º Agustín" y "Lengua de Agustín".   Además de ser un hombre de auténtica piedad y devoción a Dios, el historiador de la Iglesia Philip Schaff afirma que Anselmo fue probablemente el pensador más original desde Agustín.Quiero compartir la interesante historia de los conflictos de Anselmo con dos reyes de Inglaterra. La mejor forma de hacerlo es contar la historia como hace Schaff en el Vol 5 de su serie Historia de la Iglesia.Guillermo II, llamado Guillermo Rufo o el Rojo por el color de su pelo, tercer hijo de Guillermo el Conquistador, gobernó de 1087 a 1100. Probablemente lo único bueno que hizo en todo su reinado fue nombrar a Anselmo arzobispo de Canterbury. Guillermo heredó todos los vicios y ninguna de las virtudes de su padre. Despreciaba al clero. Se decía que "temía poco a Dios y nada a los hombres". No era tan escéptico como profano y blasfemo. Creía en Dios è y lo odiaba. No estaba casado, pero se entregaba a una inmoralidad flagrante. La gente decía que cada mañana se levantaba peor y cada noche se acostaba peor.Saqueó la Iglesia y oprimió al clero. Despojó a las iglesias y monasterios de sus ingresos dejándolos vacíos o vendiéndolos al mejor postor. En cuatro años transformó treinta cementerios en parques reales para satisfacer su pasión por la caza, lo que al final le costó la vida.Cuando murió el arzobispo de Canterbury, Guillermo mantuvo la sede vacante durante cuatro años. Bajo la influencia de una grave enfermedad, cedió finalmente a la presión para elegir a Anselmo, que se encontraba entonces en Inglaterra y era conocido como un profundo teólogo de carácter piadoso. Difícilmente puede imaginarse un mayor contraste de hombres. Anselmo no quería ser arzobispo. Quería volver a la vida de monje tranquilo en su abadía del norte de Italia. Pero sintió la llamada de Dios, aunque si aceptaba se enfrentaría a una batalla interminable con el rey inglés.Fue nombrado en su sede con gran celebración el 2º domingo de Adviento de 1093 e inmediatamente se dispuso a reavivar la disciplina que había decaído durante los años anteriores.Era la época del Gran Cisma Papal y el rey Guillermo apoyaba al papa francés Clemente III, mientras que Anselmo debía lealtad a Urbano II. El rey insistió en que Anselmo recibiera de Clemente el palio arzobispal, su vestidura, y luego exigió que fuera ÉL quien le confiriera la autoridad de Anselmo. Por supuesto, Anselmo se negó y tomó el palio del agente de Urbano, que había llevado la vestidura a Inglaterra en un estuche especial.Cuando el arzobispo se negó a satisfacer las cada vez mayores exigencias financieras de Guillermo, el rey lo llevó a los tribunales. Anselmo se negó a comparecer; un tribunal civil no tenía jurisdicción en asuntos eclesiásticos. Era la vieja cuestión de si un funcionario eclesiástico, en su calidad de clérigo, debía lealtad al papa o a la corona.Anselmo consiguió el permiso del rey en 1097 para ir a Roma. Pero Guillermo envió tropas tras él y lo alcanzó en Dover. Registraron el equipaje de Anselmo y se apoderaron de las ofrendas que llevaba a Roma. El viaje de Anselmo terminó como un exilio.Anselmo fue recibido calurosamente por el papa, que amenazó a Guillermo con la excomunión y pronunció una maldición sobre cualquier laico que pensara, como Guillermo, que podía investir a un obispo con autoridad espiritual. La maldición papal iba más allá, a cualquiera que aceptara tal falsa investidura.A principios de agosto de 1100, mientras cazaba en el Bosque Nuevo, el Rey Rojo fue asesinado por una flecha.  Nadie sabe si se la disparó un cazador o un asesino. Hubo poco luto por un rey que casi todos esperaban que cayera muerto. No les habría sorprendido que lo hubiera matado un rayo.Pero éste no es el final de los problemas de Anselmo con los monarcas. Cuando Guillermo II murió, su hermano menor, Enrique I, subió al trono. Enrique fue en general un buen rey que hizo mucho por erradicar lo peor de la corrupción de la corte. Reconcilió al clero sacando a Anselmo del exilio, pero renovó la controversia sobre la investidura. Nombró obispos y abades, y exigió a Anselmo que los consagrara. Anselmo se negó una y otra vez. Así pues, fue enviado a un segundo exilio. La reina sentía una extraordinaria devoción por Anselmo e intentó mediar entre él y su marido. Instó a Anselmo a que regresara, aunque tuviera que transigir un poco y conceder a Enrique cierto poder para intervenir en el nombramiento del clero. Recordó a Anselmo que el apóstol Pablo circuncidó a Timoteo como medida de compromiso.Siguiendo el ejemplo de Urbano, el papa Pascual II excomulgó a los obispos que aceptaron los nombramientos de Enrique. Pero Enrique quiso reconciliarse con Anselmo. Se reunieron en Normandía y acordaron hacer un llamamiento conjunto al Papa. Éste confirmó las investiduras anteriores del rey con la condición de que renunciara al derecho a futuros nombramientos. Esta decisión fue ratificada en agosto de 1106. El rey prometió restituir a Anselmo las rentas de Canterbury durante su ausencia, dejar de reclamar las rentas de los obispados y abadías vacantes, y devolver todas las multas del clero. Y aunque cumplió su promesa de no nombrar nuevos clérigos, envió a las sedes vacantes los nombres de los candidatos que le gustaría que las ocuparan.Anselmo regresó triunfante a Inglaterra, y fue recibido por la reina a la cabeza de los monjes y del clero. En un concilio celebrado en Westminster en 1107, el rey renunció formalmente al privilegio de la investidura. Durante los últimos años de su vida, Anselmo gozó de la amistad y el respeto del rey, y durante la ausencia de Enrique en el continente en 1108, se le confió la regencia y el cuidado de la familia real.Murió en 1109. Su impacto en el Arzobispado fue tan grande que la sede no se ocupó durante cinco años.La próxima vez echaremos un vistazo al verdadero hombre importante entre los escolásticos: Tomás de Aquino.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: According to some reports, New York City's air quality has hit its worst level since the 1980s as a result of smoke plumes generated from Canadian wildfires. In the aftermath of the wildfires, members of the left blamed the subsequent low air quality on climate change. While addressing the press, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy implored residents to remain indoors as the state deals with smoke from wildfires in Alberta, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. According to David Krayden of The Post Millennial, “[t]he Trudeau government continues to insist that wildfires in Canada are the direct result of climate change. This is despite indications that forest mismanagement.” Consequently, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is advocating on behalf of a higher carbon tax to combat climate change.

That's also more than four times New York State's annual emissions and about three times as much as the Inflation Reduction Act's projected reductions in 2030.” The editorial board concludes, “[g[overnment land management policies that prevent wildfires from spreading out of control, such as prescribed burns, would reduce CO2 emissions more than offshore wind or electric-vehicle mandates.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/canada-wildfires-smoke-east-coast-climate-emissions-forest-management-1838d4c5?mod=opinion_lead_pos2 Andrew Follett—contributor at National Review—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “How Defunding the Police Defunded the Economy.” Follett writes, “Murders increased by 39 percent nationwide, from 16,425 in 2019 to 22,900 in 2021, and remain far above pre–‘defund the police' movement levels. But the cost of crime isn't just felt in lives lost, although that is its most tragic impact. Cities that defunded the police have also been economically devastated.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/06/how-defunding-the-police-defunded-the-economy/ While speaking with Hugh Hewitt, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) reacted to reports that an indictment against Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents is imminent, explaining: “it is very dangerous to feel like the Department of Justice is being weaponized against anyone in this country.”
