DERANGED
17-04-2026The unaccceptable and senseless attacks by Donald Trump on Pope Leo XIV are the product of a personality deranged by narcissism, self-adoration and revenge. In his (self-declared) morality there is no place for respect to others, no self-correction, no ears to listen to others, no understanding of human dignity. His own Truth social - unfortunately read and quoted worldwide- containes empty slogans, changing opinions, self-adorating Jest and apocalyptic threats. Most unfortunately, his presidential powers also produce nation- and world-wide politcal cowardice. As child of the Second World War, I am deeply troubled: Two imperialist dictators, waging war in Europe (against Ukraine) and in the Middle East (against Iran) make further escalation itowards a Third World War almost inavoidable. Let us support courageous Pope Leo XIV our greatest hope for peace and respect for human dignity.

Footprints of the 20th Century - Third EditionDescription
This fifth and final volume offers a critical assessment of the state of the law of nations. In the twenty first century the world needs true global law anchored in the dignity of the human person rather than weak international law built on the interests of major sovereign states.
