| | French Wars of Religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The essential first step in this was the negotiation of the Edict of Nantes, which, rather than being a kind of genuine toleration, was in fact a kind of permanent truce between the religions, with guarantees for both sides. | | | This provoked a response from the Bourbons, who, led by Condé, organised a kind of protectorate over the Protestant churches and began to garrison strategic towns along the Loire. | | | Religious toleration was once more at an end, and the Huguenots, along with a contingent of some fellow Protestant militias from Germany and Switzerland, fought the Catholics to another standstill — signalled by the Regent's Edict of Saint-Germain (8th August 1570), which once more allowed some religious toleration of the Huguenots. |

| | Clearly in this war, as in many others that have previously been blamed on religion; religion is not the cause. | | | This is an important distinction regarding religion as the causal factor for war. | | | Clearly, religion is a central theme during this time of conflict, but it is not necessarily the cause of conflict. |

| | FT October 2001: Good Wars |
| | Aquinas insists that “among the faithful carnal wars should be considered as having for their end the divine spiritual good to which clerics are deputed. | | | Likewise, it is meritorious to fight just wars and restrain evil as a soldier, but more meritorious still to serve as a bishop who provides the Eucharist to the faithful. | | | Christians on this view should follow the lead of the early Church, which, we are told, rejected the use of force, at least until the “Constantinian Fall” that supposedly ushered in the age of Christian imperialism. |

| | To this school the acceptance of war is inculcated into each of us by the religious, ideological, and nationalistic surroundings in which we live. | | | It sees wars as imperial ventures to enhance the power of the ruling class and divide the proletariat of the world by pitting them against each other for contrived ideals such as nationalism or religion. | | | This usage is not always recognized as valid, however, particularly by those who do not accept the connotations of the term. |

| | This is the real reason the collectivist Left hates religion: Churches as institutions compete with the state for the people’s allegiance, and many devout people put their faith in God before their faith in the state. | | | The establishment clause of the First Amendment was simply intended to forbid the creation of an official state church like the Church of England, not to drive religion out of public life. | | | Certainly the drafters of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, both replete with references to God, would be aghast at the federal government’s hostility to religion. |

| | Depending on whom you ask, Scientology is either a legitimate religion offering followers a route to spiritual enlightenment and salvation, or a fraudulent scam -- and, let me say at the outset, I have no opinion as to which characterization is the correct one. | | | But science fiction it is not; it is the ongoing battle in cyberspace between the Church of Scientology ("CoS") and its critics, the first War -- or Warre -- in the Age of the Internet. | | | What is clear, however, is that relations between adherents and critics have never been pleasant; passions run feverishly high on both sides, and the Scientologists have often been accused of dealing, shall we say, rather harshly with their critics. |

Bush went through two earlier overnight conversions, first when he stopped drinking cold-turkey in 1986, and second, when evangelist Billy Graham talked to him about fundamentalist religion. |

| | Among other things, the Seven Years' War explains why this essay is written in English and not in French. | | | As momentous as the achievements and consequences of the Civil War were in their time and place, it is important to recognize that they did not render necessary or inevitable the subsequent status of the war as the American phenomenon; other events or movements MIGHT have enjoyed that status. | | | In international terms, the Civil War represented a compelling example to the world that a liberal, democratic nationalism could endure as effectively as divine right monarchies or despotic tyrannies. |
