The theory begins with several assumptions, one being that all men are equal in a political sense, and from this the conclusion that no one person has a natural right to rule another. But we all know that a society has to have some form of government.
🙂
Now the contractual theory of government has been used by many philosophers as a conceptual tool by which they could explain the relation between the governing and those governed.
🙂
These remarkable conclusions of Dr. Felicijan, based upon his extensive study in the area, are worthy of note both because of their historical importance and the practical lessons which we can learn from them.
🙂
Suddenly, he hears a voice speak to him from the cross.
"Francis, go and restore my house!
It is falling into ruins "
"Restore my house",
what could that mean?
Was he asked to restore the church itself?
🙂
Francis is praying in an abandoned chapel, urgently searching for
a better purpose in his life.
The prospect of just inheriting the business of his father,
a rich merchant in Assisi, frightens him.
🙂
In this basilica, erected in his honor shortly after he died,
we find a series of colorful frescoes, painted by the great Master Giotto,
which tell the life of the saint, like in a huge sacred comic strip.
In this image, we see a decisive moment.

When people are joyful they are always good; whereas when they are good they are seldom joyful.

According to Dr. Felicijan:
Jefferson evidently considered the ancient ritual of the Installation of the Dukes of Carinthia a common law precedent and the confirmation of the Contractual Theory upon which he based his claim for the American Independence.
On the other initialed page was a description of the installation of the Dukes of Carinthia, a Slovenian ritual which may have contributed greatly to the founding of our own great country.
On one page was Bodin's definition and characterization of a tyrant, which was quite similar in concept to phrases used in the Declaration of Independence.
In Jefferson's copy of Bodin's work Professor Felicijan discovered that Jefferson had initialed two pages.
To be properly wicked,
you do not have to break the Law.
Just observe it to the letter.
🙂
In this work Dr. Felicijan explores the impact of Bodin's famous “Republic” upon the formulation of the contractual theory of government in general, and in particular, its impact upon Thomas Jefferson and the drafting of the Declaration of Independence.
Mr. LAUSCHE. Mr. President, recently a book entitled “The Genesis of the Contractual Theory and the Installation of the Dukes of Carinthia” was published by Prof. Joseph Felicijan a member of the teaching staff of St. Johns College, Cleveland.

He was a revolutionary,
not only of Christianity,
but of humankind at large.
🙂
How should we live today?
How can we live in peace, with each other, with our planet?
One man had radical answers to all these questions.
He lived here: in this small town in the Umbrian mountains of central ltaly, 800 years ago: Saint Francis of Assisi.
Disciple: What’s the difference between knowledge and enlightenment?
Master: When you have knowledge you use a torch to show the way. When you are
enlightened you become a torch.

A king dreamt that he saw a king in paradise and a priest in hell.
He wondered how this could be then he heard a Voice say,
“The king is in paradise because he respected priests. The priest is in hell because he compromised with kings.”
