In March 2009, Giorgio Agamben was invited to speak in Paris's Notre-Dame Cathedral in the presence of the bishop of Paris and a number of other high-ranking church officials. His resulting speech, a stunning lucid and provocative look at the history and state of the church and its role in society, is presented here. "The Church and Is Reign" is at once a pointed attack on the institutional structure of the Catholic Church and a theoretical excursus on the concepts of messianic time and economy.
