	RPGFan Reviews - Shadow Hearts: Covenant
		While historical events serve as a backdrop for the occult machinations that comprise the main plotline, they give the proceedings an air of credibility by involving real-life historical figures (Rasputin, Russian princess Anastasia) and happen in real world locales (Wales, Cannes, Paris, etc.).
		The original Shadow Hearts was a prime example of the notion that a game could have bad graphics but good gameplay and a solid story and still be great.
		The graphics in Shadow Hearts were pretty dire, even for the early days of the PS2—which makes the graphical overhaul on display in Covenant that much more impressive.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Relics
		The justification of Catholic practice, which is indirectly suggested here by the reference to the bodies of the saints as formerly temples of the Holy Ghost and as destined hereafter to be eternally glorified, is further developed in the authoritative "Roman Catechism" drawn up at the instance of the same council.
		Harnack's tone in referring to this development is that of an unwilling witness overwhelmed by evidence which it is useless to resist.
		Further, devotions of ancient date deeply rooted in the heart of the peasantry cannot be swept away without some measure of scandal and popular disturbance.

	Autobiography: Intellectual, Moral, and Spiritual (of Asa Mahan
		I refer to the above facts in order to evince that I must have been an inexpressibly stupid thinker had I not, under such influences, attained to very clear, distinct, and definite apprehensions of all the leading doctrines of the system of faith in which I was educated.
		Accepting this as the correct view of her case, her heart at once seemed to be turned into a stone within her, and she had never since felt any disposition whatever to give thought to religious subjects.
		I have heard," she remarked, "that it is so." I replied that I had heard nothing upon the subject; that I had seen him but once since his return, and that his appearance was such as to indicate that what she had heard might be true.

	Shadow Hearts: Covenant for PlayStation 2 Reviews at Shopping.com
		And while the game certainly plays fast and loose with history (in other words, don't use this game as a reference material for a history paper on the first world war…), the "what if" scenarios of the game are part of what makes it so intriguing.
		The graphics in Shadow Hearts were pretty dire, even for the early days of the PS2—which makes the graphical overhaul on display in Covenant that much more impressive.
		Ultimately, fans of the original Shadow Hearts are gonna love Covenant—it takes everything the first game did and improves upon it in just about every way imaginable.

	RPGFan Reviews - Shadow Hearts: From The New World (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		After Midway released Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts: Covenant (Shadow Hearts II in Japan) in the US, they somehow dropped the ball and lost the chance to bring the third title to the states.
		If you enjoyed the first two Shadow Hearts games because of their eccentric characters and wild plotline, I promise you that this third game will not disappoint, even if Johnny is a do-gooder by nature.
		I had expected a turn-based RPG such as Shadow Hearts to put a particular emphasis on battles; while the battles were excellent (difficult but not cheap), it seems that Johnny's love for detective work leads to the player having to solve a number of difficult puzzles in nearly every dungeon.

		They have to be led toward a new kind of seeing, in which their eyes are gradually opened from within to the point where they recognize him afresh and cry out: "It is the Lord!" Perhaps the most telling episode of all is that of the disciples on the road to Emmaus.
		Their hearts are transformed, so that, through the outward events of Scripture, they can discern its inward center, from which everything comes and which everything tends: the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
		That is why to reduce the visible appearance of Christ to a "historical Jesus", belonging to the past, misses the point of His visible appearance, misses the point of the Incarnation.

		The Secretary projected a scheme alike honourable to his heart and to his intellect, for abolishing the use of mercenary troops, and for organising a national militia.
		His errors are at once explained by a reference to the circumstances in which he was placed.
		The sarcastic bitterness of his conversation disgusted those who were more inclined to accuse his licentiousness than their own degeneracy, and who were unable to conceive the strength of those emotions which are concealed by the jests of the wretched, and by the follies of the wise.

		And in 1838, the Church had its back against the wall as the prospect of mob assaults loomed under the encouraging shadow of a state government that was obviously deaf to Mormon cries.
		There follows a brief reference to LDS antiabolitionist tendencies - the only attempt in the document to provide a legal reason for opposing the Mormons - followed by a reiteration of a religious attack on the Mormons.

		This class of settlers, the bravest among them all, trusted to luck and their own brave hearts and industry to earn the means to buy their claims when the land sales came on.
		Some of the other settlers were in better condition, and brought money with them, or knew where to get it, when the time came to perfect their titles by "bidding in" the land covered by their claims.
		In other pages of this book, reference is made to the manner in which the settlers protected themselves and each other in their legitimate rights.

		The world can bear witness that, after the enormous tragedy of the war, something new was born in the hearts of members of the different religious denominations: They feel more responsible for peace on earth, and they have begun to cooperate with one another.
		The memory of the painful journey of the war and of the difficult journey of the second postwar period is a constant reminder of this.

		As many as possible of the places referred to are marked on the map at the end of book, while here, in this historical summary, a brief account may be given of who the Armenians are and where they live.
		But there was also a notable school of historical writers (Moses of Khorene is its most famous representative), and the really important result of the stimulus that Christianity brought was the permanent preservation of the language's existence and its development into a medium for a national literature of a varied kind.
		The appalling inference was in fact correct, for the second phase of persecution passed over without a break into the third and final act, and it is evident that the whole train had been laid by the Ministry at Constantinople before the first arms were called in or the first Armenian thrown into prison.

		Were I to refer for proofs to any of the ancient authors, whom the advocates of the Bible call prophane authors, they would controvert that authority, as I controvert theirs: I will therefore meet them on their own ground, and oppose them with their own weapon, the Bible.
		Now for the historical part, which, though the evidence is not so direct and positive as in the former cases, is nevertheless very presumable and corroborating evidence, and is better than the best evidence on the contrary side.

		Augustine went still further, arguing that no historical event or chronology can be interpreted apocalyptically; and that the millennium was not a future event but already in progress, already set in motion by Christ.
		Thus Christian Rome, even the earthy Church, could not represent the perfection of eschatological fulfillment, and their historical fate had nothing to do with God’s plans for human salvation.

		Moreover, humanity is something more than a mere species: it is a historical development; it is to be defined by the manner in which it deals with its natural, fixed characteristics, its facticité.
		Woman is determined not by her hormones or by mysterious instincts, but by the manner in which her body and her relation to the world are modified through the action of others than herself.
