Pope College Essays Samples For Students

Introduction

The current perception about the importance of grades is quite baffling. The academic fraternity has placed so much importance on high grades and putting so much focus on grades, most of the students in various institutions are missing the purpose of education.
Good education is often quoted as a major prerequisite to a good job and consequently a good life. Education is not considered decent enough until one has gone to college and graduated. With such an understanding of college education importance, many students torture themselves with books hoping to get good grades to get into college (Pope, 14). The students ...

There are unconventional concerns within the midst of Pope Francis’ governance as the Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic world. Pope Francis was reported to being elected as the 266th pope with St. Peter being popularly known as the first . The defiance to tradition was observed to be immediately exhibited right after Pope Francis’ election when he appeared before the crowd at the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica wearing very simple white vestments . Various reports have disclosed other actions that allegedly breaks tradition include: choosing “to live in an apartment rather that the archbishop's palace, passed on a chauffeured limousine, ...

In “Advent is New Beginnings,” the topic revolves around Pope Francis, who exclaimed his famous remark with regard to homosexuality: Who am I to judge? Whereas said statement by Pope Francis has earned him critical acclaim from circles who perceive his progressiveness in finally changing the traditionally conservative direction of the Catholic Church on homosexuality, it is nevertheless an ambiguous one. Said statement did not include an express statement by Pope Francis stating a definite stand on homosexuality and at the same time, he did not place his leadership on an affirmative stance towards urging the entire Catholic Church to ...

Francis Bacon was born in 1909 and he died in 1992. Bacon was a figurative artist, but his figures were always violently and bizarrely distorted. He often painted the figures of people that went to the pubs in London’s Soho district. He liked to paint people he felt were tormented souls, his twisted representations depicting their inner torment. Similarly, Bacon often painted twisted and distorted self-portraits.
Bacon’s work is often associated with surrealism and the Old Masters, even though he’s considered a contemporary artist. He borrows from surrealism and photo and film distortion. He is known for ...

I believe that newly-elected Pope Francis will go down in history as one of the greatest Popes the Vatican has ever produced. He is intelligent, noble yet humble, and expresses love, compassion, and acceptance towards people within the Catholic faith, as well as those who practice other faiths. Even with these positive attributes, my feelings about Pope Francis are ambivalent, and I have some misgivings about his papacy.
He is a passionate man, and his views are as equally pronounced and passionate. I admire these qualities about Pope Francis. However, he has brought upon him, and the Catholic Church a ...

The Meditation on the Passion

Jesus is seated on a throne in ruins engraved with Hebrew graffiti on the back, two hermits on his side are in a nearly symmetrical position. Since Renaissance this picture was considered as work of Andrea Mantegna because there was a readable signature of this painter. Only in 1945 (thanks to Murray Pease) it was finally cleared the identity of the author: under the signature of Mantegna it was possible to read, thanks to infrared analysis, the signature of Vit Carpaccio. The circumstances of the order and the original location of the work are still unknown. The date of creation is uncertain ...

During Italian Renaissance the promotion of cultural and artistic patronage responded directly to specific needs of the Court as a new institution. Small regional states emerged from the fragmentation of the communal and feudal regime as a new political subject directly delegated by a higher authority such as the imperator or that the pope. Because of this structural nature of their power, the Italian princes were constantly looking for support, justification and recognition, both inside and especially outside of the boundaries of the territory ruled.
In fact, the political activity of a prince would not existed without a specific focus on artistic and ...

The First Crusade

The first religious crusade took place in 1096 and lasted three years ending in 1099. The crusade was started by Pope Urban II in November, 1095 in response to the request of Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, who sought the help of the western volunteers to resist the invasion of the Seljuq Turks from Anatolia (RF, 2014). Soon an additional goal of recapturing the sacred city of Jerusalem and the Holy Land became the primary objective of the crusaders, who alongside also wanted to liberate the Eastern Christians from the bondage of the Muslim rulers.

In Something to Believe In, Pope John XXIII explains the precepts of peaceful coexistence between men and nations.

He stresses the greatness of God as the creator by quoting from the bible, giving ...

Upcoming therapists start as supervisees. Supervision has three major players namely the client, supervisee and the supervisor (Pope & Vasquez, 2010, p. 315). Without a clear guideline, relationships and agendas bringing together supervisees and supervisors can easily be confused (Pope & Vasquez, 2010, p. 315). In line with this, it is paramount to spell out the tasks, roles and responsibilities of both supervisees and supervisors (Pope & Vasquez, 2010, p. 315). It is paramount to note that some aspects of supervision may be similar to some forms of therapy. In addition, the supervisor takes charge of the supervisee’s growth, as well as ...

Professional Association and Professional Regulatory Body
Many professions nowadays are governed by professional bodies and associations. A professional association is charged with the policy making role; a good example is the American Psychological Association (APA) (Pope & Vasquez, 2010). Likewise, a professional regulatory body is charged with the policy making role, but the difference between the two is very slim. A professional association makes rules policies, but serves the interest of its members. On the contrary, a professional regulatory body is answerable to the public and the government. A professional regulatory body protects the interests of the public from professional malpractices.

The first crusade, which took place between 1096 and 1099, was an attempt to recapture the Holy Land (Jerusalem), which had been captured by the Muslims in 1076. The First Crusade had significant part in Medieval England. After the capture by the Muslims, the Christians faced a hard time paying pilgrimage to the city.

In Beyond Good and Evil, Friedrich Nietzsche gives his criticisms to Christianity. As a philosopher, he presents his school of thought and accuses Christianity as a dogmatic religion with fewer benefits to all the people. This paper critically analyzes his accusations. It does this by giving critical responses in line with the Pope Benedict XVI’s encyclical Deus Caritas Est.
Nietzsche accused the church of poisoning erotic love by converting it into a vice. He uses excerpts from the Songs of Solomon to be a degrading manifestation of conjugal love. To him, Christianity is the worst type of self-presumption in the history ...

Introduction

Power battles and fights have always been taking place that get had the capacity to curse the whole of the nation. As occurrence of this crusade history that can be viewed all through history, it is particularly manifested in medieval era. Particularly, battles for getting power created between the church of Roman and several other groups for example kings, non-believers of Christ, Muslims, and yet common individuals all through the medieval times. Consequently, Christian fighters as crusades were recommended to clash for their faith by the church pope to withdraw land that Christian non-believers existed on and abolish anyone ...

Middle ages witness many struggles between kings and popes towards gaining the ultimate power. Their main reason of such struggles was to bring strong control upon Europe and introduce their own policies and developments of reformation. For many centuries, monarchs had rule over the crown and church, whereas according to Catholic Church many had a belief that pope should be given power as being Christ’s representative on this earth. Roman Empire continued until the 5th century when it finally fell and power to govern was in the hands of Catholic Church, having dominant position in the Western Europe (Gorski, pp. ...

Contrasting two famous pieces, Pope’s Essay on Man and Wordsworth’s The Daffodils, we contrast not only two very different literary traditions and two very different views on nature, but also two very different genres. Essay on Man, a kind of rhymed philosophical treaty, explores the nature of man in regards to his place in the universe. In particular, the first Epistle which will be considered in this work, deals with the man’s place in Nature. The form Pope chose facilitates his task, providing him with imagery to illustrate his points and add cogency to his theses. The ...

Like the Romantic Period, one of the reoccurring themes in Pope’s writing is nature. William Wordsworth a Romantic writer naturally writes about nature. Whereas Pope seeks to explain nature and man in his first epistle in his “Essay on Man”, Wordsworth seeks to glorify nature in his poem, “The Daffodils.”
In Pope’s first epistle he begins as if he were in a dialogue with St. John and tries to explain the nature of man in regards to his place in the universe. He uses rhyming verses because he thought that the reader would be more attracted to this ...

On December 2, 1804, Napoleon Bonaparte became the emperor of the French and held a spectacular coronation ceremony at the Notre-Dame Cathedral. He would later on become the King of Italy.

The central claim of supersessionism, an ancient Christian mindset that can be traced way back to the first century, is the forfeiture of God’s covenant with Jews due to their collective guilt over the death of Jesus (Cunningham 1).

The power of the papacy

The papacy has always played a vital role in Christianity from the days of the Roman Empire. In those days, the papacy was the only thing that was left of Rome after its fall. Rome was considered a sacred place based on the history of discipleship and the belief that the Apostles Paul and Peter practiced their martyrdom. Because of this symbolism, Rome was still respected even after it was defeated, and the religious background it possessed made the system of the papacy the ultimate center of attention. The westerners fought with the easterners over the control of Rome because of ...

Alexander Pope's creativity is an important stage in the development of the English poetry in the age of the Enlightenment. Although the legacy of Alexander Pope has long been divided into the early "ad-satirical" period, yet the poet's main contribution to the history of literature is associated with his late ethical-philosophical and satirical works (Noggle 145). The compromise character of A. Pope's aesthetics makes it easier to "compound the neoclassical and rocaille artistic aspirations" and makes the genre of comic mock-heroic more natural (Noggle 146). His poem "The Rape of the Lock" is the result of a masterful poetic ...

Pope Benedict XVI has been under great scrutiny since the allegations emerged of paedophiles working within the catholic priesthood, and of the Pope covering for their crimes. The Pope has behaved abhorrently and should be arrested, but is unlikely that the British government will allow it.

Whilst some people may argue that the Pope did not molest any children, and therefore should not be punished, he did attempt to cover a series of child abuse ...

Over the years, Catholic Church has undergone several changes, although the most significant being the changes brought by Vatican II. Arguably, Vatican II changes brought forth doctrines that the Catholic Church initially believed and taught its members. Worth noting, the changes brought forth “new Catholic Church”.

Throughout the storied historical ethnic relations and the Black culture in the United States, the name Jezebel has carried a heavy burden of antiquity. The stereotype existed and still does allowing African American women to be viewed as promiscuous and sexual beings. During slavery, the Black females worked in the fields almost half-naked conforming to the request of their masters. The conditions led to a series of rapes that were blamed on the African American women for being promiscuous rather than criticizing the orders of the White slave owners. In a seeming manner, Olivia Pope exhibits characteristics of Jezebel ...

Imagery:
Both poems employ imagery as a way of relaying their messages. In the poem ‘My papa’s waltz’, the poem is descriptive of a kind of dance performed by a father and his son. A kind of bedtime ‘run around the house’. The dance is symbolic of the relationship between the father and other members of his family. The dance, while the boy enjoys it, is not an amusing matter to his father. The father, apparently under the influence of whisky, is desperate for his son to go to sleep. The dance ensuing represents a respectful relationship where the boy, despite ...
