... of the world to Catholicism. The Catholic Church is distinguished from other Christian religions by the configuration of its practices and characteristics. One instance that I read about in the news recently was about a young girl in England who became pregnant. The girl went to her church and told her priest. The priest then referred the girl to the Cardinal of that area. The twelve-year-old girl comes from a family that can barely afford food and clothes, let alone support a new child.

Ben was fortunate enough to have ended up in a high school where the teachers actually cared, and took interest in his studies. "Another influential person in my life was an English teacher named Mrs. Miller. She took a personal interest in me in ninth grade English and taught me a lot of extra things after class." (Pg.64 Gifted Hands) Ben also had the option of going to many different schools. If one school did not meet his intellectual needs, he could always transfer to one that did.

... I am going to look at both Olivares’ foreign policy and domestic policy. Within foreign policy I propose to see how far Olivares pushed the reputación of the state before domestic crises forced him to seek peace. Among others the best areas to examine would be Olivares’ policies during the Thirty Years War from 1622; the Mantuan War 1628-31 and the great revolts of Catalonia and Portugal in 1640.

Furthermore it is important to look at the areas where domestic policy coincides with foreign policy (in a defensive sense) in the Great Memor ...
