| | Lord Acton on the Historian |
 | | For one whose commitment to truth was integral to his religion, this perversion by religion of the moral obligation of the historian was fundamentally evil. | | | What these original sources showed was the "conventional mendacity" of Catholic historians, their practice of falsehood and suppression of truth to further the interests or reputation of the Church. | | | Yet Church authorities had practiced persecution; popes and saints had authorized the killing of heretics; theologians had justified such things as doctrine; and historians had either suppressed or excused these facts. |

| | Revisionist Historians |
| | Were the Gilded Age entrepreneurs "Captains of Industry" or "Robber Barons"? | | | Almost all the historians I know of who maintain that the evidence for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction or support for Al Qaeda is ambiguous or false were saying the same things six months or a year ago. | | | For many of us, the term "revisionist historians" recalls distasteful memories from the 1970s of Holocaust deniers who called themselves "revisionists." One hopes that in resorting to this phrase now, the president's associates are not seeking to falsely and maliciously link present-day critics of the administration to those who misrepresented the past for nefarious ends. |
