- Durante degli Alighieri, mononymously referred to as Dante (/ˈdænti/, US /ˈdɑːnteɪ/; Italian: [ˈdante]; c1265--1321), was an Italian poet, prose writer, literary theorist, moral philosopher, and political thinker. He is best known for the monumental epic poem Commedia, later named La divina commedia (Divine Comedy), considered the greatest literary work composed in the Italian language and a masterpiece of world literature.
In Italy he is known as il Sommo Poeta ("the Supreme Poet") or just il Poeta. Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio are also known as "the three fountains" or "the three crowns". Dante is also called the "Father of the Italian language".
The Divine Comedy (Italian: Divina Commedia) is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321. It is widely considered the preeminent work of Italian literature, and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature. The poem's imaginative and allegorical vision of the afterlife is a culmination of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church. It helped establish the Tuscan dialect, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language. It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso.
On the surface, the poem describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven; but at a deeper level, it represents allegorically the soul's journey towards God. At this deeper level, Dante draws on medieval Christian theology and philosophy, especially Thomistic philosophy and the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas. Consequently, the Divine Comedy has been called "the Summa in verse."
The work was originally simply titled Comedìa and was later christened Divina by Giovanni Boccaccio. The first printed edition to add the word divine to the title was that of the Venetian humanist Lodovico Dolce, published in 1555 by Gabriele Giolito de' Ferrari.

i thought Dante was studied only in Italy
So the guy makes up some of the most cruelest punishments for people that don't deserve even half of that like drowning someone in his own shit or throwing someone in fire with a led tunic on and shit like that. An somehow you call me the sicko for listening or playing metal. WTF people?
bifbuzz237 iced earth has a 16 min track about Dante's inferno in case you haven't heard it
metaphors. that represent inner termoil and resentment. like Ptsd but for failing as people. also metal is cool so don't worry about it son.
The Roman Catholic Church does not teach the doctrine of Limbo. In 2005
the Church’s International Theological Commission said limbo reflected an “unduly restrictive view of salvation.” Pope Benedict XVI supported publication of the document. The notion of Limbo has been rejected by the Church.
St Thomas Aquinas didn't think this way..
Further, the Roman Catholic Church does NOT teach that only those who are explicitly Christian will be gifted with the vision of God; the notion was explicitly rejected by the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) in the document Nostra Aetate (1965).
Guilty.
That stuff about Muhammad around the 22 minute mark is astonishingly narrow and vague. Im pretty sure I know who this narrator votes for. Lol
Good talk if you don’t count the speakers opinions on western religion. There is a true lack of understanding in both the western and eastern religions from this speaker.
