His invocation of the Latin formula corruptio optimi pessima holds the idea that the corruption of the best is the worst—giving a kind of apocalyptic weight to the history of Christianity. The idea radicalizes a dual affirmation, first that essential to the Christian story is a uniquely transformative affirmation whose implica… text/html 2026-07-16T13:45:10+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://conspiratio.goliard.xyz/periodicals:07:editorial?rev=1784209510&do=diff Editor’s Letter In June 2025, a group of about fifty gathered at the San Cerbone convent in Lucca, Italy, to discuss if religion, faith, and philosophy name conflicting ways of life. Some knew Illich personally, others only by hearsay. Some knew one another well; others had never met. This mix generated an openness to strangers and the unfamiliar. Meals were shared at long tables in the refectory. Discussions began in the garden outside the convent walls and continued among smaller groups insid… text/html 2026-07-16T17:22:48+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://conspiratio.goliard.xyz/periodicals:07:glenewinkel?rev=1784222568&do=diff BENEATH SAVONAROLA’S NOSE: Ivan Illich’s prophetic gaze against the shadow of the future By Leonardo Christopher Eck Glenewinkel “οὐδεὶς προφήτης δεκτός ἐστιν ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ”.

Each is a manner of making claims on our actions, and by which we claim the acts of others.

These thoughts may find a coherent structure when confronted with two basic questions. First, can Ivan Illich be considered a contemporary of St. Paul?

By Samuel Sonderhoff Today, the term “religion” seems to be loaded with very different, sometimes contradictory meanings in both modern scientific language and everyday language. Two tensions can be observed. First: On the one hand, religions such as Christianity or Judaism refer to a group of people who can be distinguished from those in a non-religious environment. On the other hand, systems theorists such as Niklas Luhmann view religion as a general social subsystem tha… text/html 2026-07-16T17:07:02+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://conspiratio.goliard.xyz/periodicals:07:ullate?rev=1784221622&do=diff L’ambiguïté d’être des fils d’une mère indigne, mais pas de nous A comment by José Antonio Ullate Issue 6 of Conspiratio included an article by Renée Uribe, entitled Beyond the ‘It’: Mutuality, Maternal-Thinking, and the ‘She’ in Illich’s Thought.
