Las soluciones Modernas<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Por Le\u014dnardus Str\u016bthi\u014d<\/span><\/p>\n\n Jesus failed insofar as he was crucified. He did not fail insofar <\/span>[<\/span>45<\/span>] as the new modes and orders found by him have become accepted <\/span>by many generations of many nations. This victory of Christianity was due to propaganda: the unarmed prophet conquered posthumously by virtue of propaganda.<\/span> Machiavelli, being himself an unarmed prophet, has no other hope of conquest except through propaganda. The only element of Christianity which Machiavelli took over was the idea of propaganda. This idea is the only link between his thought and Christianity. <\/span>He<\/span> attempted to destroy Christianity by the same means by which Christianity was originally established.<\/span> He desired to imitate, <\/span>not <\/span>Moses, the armed prophet, but Jesus. It goes without sa<\/span>y<\/span>ing that Machiavelli\u2019s<\/span> <\/i>imitatio Christi<\/i><\/span> is limited <\/span>to this point. In particular, the author of<\/span> <\/i>Mangragola<\/i><\/span> avoided the cross in more than one sense by not <\/span>publishing his great works during his lifetime.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Next paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n Previous paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n Jes\u00fas fracas\u00f3 en tanto que fue crucificado. <\/span>Pero, no<\/span> fracas\u00f3 <\/span>en <\/span>tanto<\/span> que l<\/span>o<\/span>s <\/span>nuevos modos y \u00f3rdenes <\/span>por \u00e9l fundados han devenido aceptados por mu<\/span>chas generaciones <\/span>de muchas naciones. Esta victoria del Cristianismo se debi\u00f3 a la propaganda: el profeta desarmado venci\u00f3 p\u00f3stumamente en virtud de la propaganda <\/span>X*X.1<\/a><\/sup>Vide infra<\/em> Algunas aclaraciones X*X<\/a>.<\/span><\/span> Maquiavelo, <\/span>\u00e9l mismo un profeta desarmado, no tiene <\/span>m\u00e1s <\/span>esperanza de <\/span>conquista sino a trav\u00e9s de la <\/span>propaganda. <\/span>El \u00fanico elemento <\/span>de cristianismo que <\/span>Maquiavelo <\/span>conserv<\/span>\u00f3 fue la idea de propaganda. <\/span>Esta idea es el \u00fanico v\u00ednculo su pensamiento y el cristianismo. <\/span>Intent\u00f3 destruir el cristianismo por los mismos medios por los <\/span>cuales el cristianismo <\/span>se estableci\u00f3 originalmente.

Concretamente, el autor de <\/span>La <\/i><\/span>mandragola<\/i><\/span><\/a> evit\u00f3 la cruz en m\u00e1s de un sentido al no publicar <\/span>en vida sus obras m\u00e1s importantes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n X*X =<\/span><\/strong> Es importante no tomar el t\u00e9rmino <\/span>\u00ab<\/span>propaganda<\/span>\u00bb<\/span><\/a> en su acepci\u00f3n contempor\u00e1nea, con connotaciones peyorativas <\/span>\u2014<\/span>y, acaso siniestras, todos recordamos el infame <\/span>Reichsministerium f\u00fcr Volksaufkl\u00e4rung und Propaganda<\/i><\/span><\/a>.

Pero es en el lat\u00edn moderno, eclesi\u00e1stico y del siglo XVII, que adquiere el sentido al que el profesor Str\u016bthi\u014d est\u00e1 refiriendo: el de \u00ab<\/span>propagaci\u00f3n\u00bb. <\/span>El empleo, que probablemente sea anterior, queda fijado en la <\/span>Congreg<\/i><\/span>\u0101<\/i><\/span>ti<\/i><\/span>\u014d <\/i><\/span>d<\/i><\/span>\u0113 <\/i><\/span>Pr<\/i><\/span>\u014d<\/i><\/span>p<\/i><\/span>\u0101<\/i><\/span>gand<\/i><\/span>\u0101 <\/i><\/span>Fid<\/i><\/span>\u0113<\/i><\/span><\/a> creada por Gregorio XV en 1622.
