The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned to honor Napoleon in 1806. By the time construction had really begun in earnest, Napoleon had suffered a disastrous military defeat and had been forced into exile.
Trump: We’re building an arc like the Arc de Triomphe. It will be like the one in Paris but it blows it away.

One of the unspoken rules of the Church is the more practical social work you do, the more doctrinal leeway and quiet backing you get. Academic theologian sitting in a faculty office? Don’t act the maggot, buddy. Activist nun helping poor migrants? Envelope for you there, sister, God bless the work.
