The Case Against State Church Alliance in History
A primeval argument asserts that church and state corrupt each other when united. The author cites eras from Nero to Luther to show Christianity thrived when separate from political power, while alliance with rulers breeds decay. He argues gradual reform favors reasoned challenges to church subsidies and predicts a shift toward voluntary support for church establishments.

Extraordinary Paris Express on French Expedition to Constantine
An overseas bulletin from Toulon dated December 11 1836 details the French expedition toward Constantine. Tortuous weather and stiff opposition halted entry, forcing bombardment of the gate at Cantara and delaying conquest. Reports from Madrid describe Espartero’s defeats and Carlist gains, while other dispatches mention evacuations and shortages. The piece notes market reactions in Paris and questions government stability amid mixed war news.
