On May 12, 2004, Pope Benedict XVI - then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger-addressed the Italian Senate on the state of the West; the very same day, Joseph Pera, President of the Italian Senate, spoke before the Lateran College of the Papal University. Together they called upon the West to confront the spiritual, cultural, and political malaise that have afflicted it in the earliest years of the 21st century. In the months that ensued, before Cardinal Ratzinger's election to the papacy, they developed their ideas into the eloquent dialogue that is Without Roots - a book that quickly became an Italian bestseller and is even more timely today than ever. With Europe shaken by the war in Iraq, terrorism, security, Israel, relations with the U.S., immigration, and the rejection of the EU constitution in both France and the Netherlands, the issue of European identity has profound implications for the rest of the world. Bringing together their unique vantage points as leaders of Church and State, Pope Benedict XVI and Pera challenge us to imagine what can be the future of a civilization that has abandoned its history for a relativist secularism. They call on the West to embrace a spiritual rather than political renewal-and to accept the moral beliefs that alone can help us to make sense of changes in technology, economics, and society. Pope Benedict XVI joins the President of the Italian Senate to offer a provocative critique of the spiritual, cultural, and political crisis afflicting the West.Binding Type: Paperback

So comfy! True to size! BUY THEM
Size: 9, Color: Red, Size: 9, Color: Red
These heels are my new favorite go to! Normally, I can’t stand my heels after 2 or 3 hours. These heels I can wear for hours on end without any discomfort! No blisters and they didn’t even require me breaking them in. Just super comfortable from the first wear. They’re decently tall so I was surprised how comfortable they are. I love wearing them and I get so many compliments on them. If you’re looking for a pair to wear for long hours, these are seriously the best! They look just like the pictures and fit true to size. I am a size 9 and ordered a 9 and these heels fit perfectly! Just buy them! I plan on purchasing more colors in the future.

Comfy & cute!
Size: 7, Color: Olive Green
I had my doubts that such cute high heeled shoes could be comfy, but these were comfy right out of the box & made it through a wedding with lots of dancing. Comfy, cute & a big hit!
To add: I learned that sizing up by 1/3 size works best for me for all dress shoes, and the 7 worked best for my regular 6.5 size.

Very cute but uncomfortable without bandaids
Size: 9.5, Color: Brown
I wore these shoes to my friends wedding and I got a lot of compliments for how cute they were. They are extremely cute shoes that fit my feet perfectly. The downside is that they became painful for me to wear after only 30 minutes of me wearing to them. During the rehearsal- were I was mostly standing in them- the pads of my feet started to hurt and by the end of the rehearsal (45 minutes later) I could barely walk in them. The day of the wedding I wore them for pictures which took 30 minutes in total and they hurt so much that when I arrived to the venue I had to put bandaids on my feet to make my feet more comfortable and to avoid blisters. Another thing I would say about these shoes is that the strings didn’t stay up after I tied them around my calf. Every time I tied them around my calf, they would slide down to my ankle within minutes. So yeah I love these shoes and they were cute despite the strings sliding down but I would highly suggest wearing something soft to cover the pads of your feet for comfort.
