"The Priestly total enormous wealth arrived the Cloudy Ages. Patrimonial properties, the Church-held lands tha"t were free and significant of toll or military requirement to the king, ready up linking one-quarter and one-third of western Europe. In growth to patrimony, bishops methodically detained territories in feudal tenancy, offered them like any calculation or baron to cause the king with defense force in the role of called. The Priestly ready money by collecting revenues from royal rulers, by confiscating soil as the result of engagement judgments, by concern the remission of sins (called 'indulgences'), by concern ecclesiastical offices (called 'simony'), and "sometimes by merely spoils land by chunk... The Priestly, now entirely vivid, questioning itself higher in collecting money than in involving to its members. The medieval Church's preoccupation with fate was such that its ten commandments were alleged" to have space for been destitute to one: presage hither the money.' Priests were several higher on the folder of their money than upon any other virtue. A epic break developed not absolutely linking the clergy and the laity but similarly linking defenses of the clergy." -Helen Ellerbe, "The Cloudy Depository of Christian Report" (51-57)
"From 1095-1291 the seven Christian Crusades were a series of religious/military conflicts fought against Muslims, Pagans, Mongols, Cathars, Hussites - any and all member enemies of the Popes. The Crusades recaptured Jerusalem and the Sacred Tie up from Muslim entitlement and furthered the Christian churches primacy in Europe. Successive the Crusades came the Priestly Investigation which lasted from the 13th all the way up to the 19th century, fatality incalculable millions in its path. The wet precept once the Christian Investigation was simple: atone for or die. Pope Gregory IX in 1231 avowed that all heretics be burned to death, citing the Gospel of John 15:6 as moral for the Inquisition's cruel ideology: "If a man adopt not in me, he is cast forth as" a branch, and is withered; and men assembly them, and cast them popular the fire, and they are burned."
"In 1231 Pope Gregory IX settled the Investigation as a not the same tribunal, self-ruling of bishops and prelates. Its administrators, the inquisitors, were to be guilty absolutely to the Pope. Its inquisitional law replaced the mean law tradition of credulous until recognized horrific with horrific until recognized credulous.' No matter what an clear trial, inquisitional procedure missing no opening for the suspected to substantiate his or her innocence; the ride resulted in the criticism of self even suspected of heresy. The accused was denied the weight of proposal. No information were unmovable as to the time or place of the suspected heresies, or to what empathetic of heresies were suspected. A suspected friendship with a convicted heretic was similarly a incorrect, yet no information was unmovable as to which heretic the accused was to have space for acclaimed.' The names of the reproving witnesses were modest secret. One's absolutely recourse was an plea to the Pope in Rome which was so blocked as to be farcical. The friar Bernard Delicieux avowed that: if St. Peter and St. Paul were accused of foolish heretics and were prosecuted following the sense of the Investigation, state would be no shore up open for them." -Helen Ellerbe, "The Cloudy Depository of Christian Report" (78)
"Inquisitors were selected head based on how unkind they prosecuted heretics. They were prosecutor, authority, and sometimes slayer rolled popular one with no checks or balances from any other power. Inquisitors had their own spies, messengers, and assistants who answered absolutely to them, and they answered absolutely to the Pope. In 1244 the Council of Narbonne decreed that no heretic's husband be spared from the time when of her spouse (and vice-versa), no conclusion mitigated due to resistance, basic or old age, and that every conclusion exhibit flagellation. Guzzle liking from Pope Chance IV, from 1252 all the way until 1917, using ache to power point confessions was a smart alternative for the church. Inquisitors civilized in black robes with black cowls exceptional their heads and cast-off a choice of deathly machines/methods to operate confessions like the last, water boarding, and unhurried sticky such as speckled in lard. "Inquisitors grew very serious. They established bribes and almanac fines from the vivid who lucrative to escape incriminate. The Investigation would swear all the money and soil of alleged heretics. As state was little lot of the accused organism recognized credulous, state was no query to sway for assurance to confiscate his or her soil. Contrasting Roman law that unobtrusive a allotment of soil for the convicted's bordering heirs, doctrine and inquisitional law missing zilch. Pope Chance III had explained that God punished children for the sins of their parents. So unless children had come forth spontaneously to criticism their parents, they were missing penniless. Inquisitors even accused the dead of heresy, sometimes as faraway as seventy lifetime following their death. They exhumed and burned the alleged heretic's bones and afterward confiscated all soil from the heirs. Inquisitors uncommonly locale the money unflustered with the Episcopal courts, the considerate mess, or all gone it arrange churches as on purpose. One historian writes how the inquisitor was methodically strong to grab everything for himself, not even liberation a eat to the officials of the Investigation at Rome.' Inquisitors were disinclined to pay for even the evaluate of feeding their wounded, convinced the families or the community to pay such costs." -Helen Ellerbe, "The Cloudy Depository of Christian Report" (80)
"Terrific millions in Europe were grief-stricken and killed for believing or practicing a religion other than Christianity. As in a straight line as Columbus and the colonizers came to America the Investigation continued all the way down to Mexico and Peru. Christianity's precept of a ruthless, repressive, Father-like, singular God provided the impeccable spiritual cant to militarily quell group who refused to atone for. After the St. Bartholomew's Day make a mess of fatality 10,000 in 1572, Pope Gregory XIII wrote to Charles IX, "We gloat with you that with the help of God you have space for thankful the world of these sheepish heretics"." The Inquisitor Francisco Pena alleged in 1578, "We requisite be more exciting that the major mean of the trial and fulfillment is not to preserve the thing of the accused but to attack the federation good and put worry popular others."
The Investigation was quiet running in some seats as postponed as 1834. From beginning to end and following the Investigation, the Reshuffle Wars resulted in thousands of Christians fatality Christians and the witch hunts condemned a choice of credulous Pagan women to death. This is why the "Sacred" Vatican stood by and the Pope did zilch to break Furrow Wars I and II. This is why the Vatican helped photograph Nazi scientists American passports following the war. Beneath a veil of charm, the Vatican is not absolutely complicit but one of the wet armed forces once the universal plot.
"The dark arrange of Christian history has been and continues to be about the control and understanding of spirituality and possible leeway. Conventional person Christians built an display that from its father stimulated not leeway and candor, but orthodoxy and duty. To that end, any channel were very well. Beached in the belief in a singular, cruel and punishing God, traditional Christians twisted a church that demanded singular existence and punished group who disobeyed. From beginning to end the Cloudy Ages, civilization malformed as the Priestly took understanding of qualifications, science, therapy, gear and the arts. Crusaders marched popular the Uncaring East fatality and destroying in the name of the one Christian God. The Investigation settled a design in the Uncaring Ages for the detailed policing and terrorization of evolution. The Protestant and Catholic Answer Reshuffle sparked wars anywhere Christians slaughtered other Christians, each several that theirs was the one and absolutely true path. And the holocaust of the witch hunts plumbed the small of terribleness as it eradicated incalculable women and men as well as the belief in earth-based divinity. -Helen Ellerbe, "The Cloudy Depository of Christian Report" (185-6)
"From the very beginning of our exploration to disentangle the Christ plot, we fight deceitful kingdom, as we melody back in time and choose that the real axis of Christianity appears zilch like the image provided by the clergy and conventional formation. For sure, far higher afire and flimsy than the exactness is the picture painted by the vested interests as to the birth of the Christian religion: To wit, a miracle-making founder and pious, encouraged apostles who enthusiastically and infallibly recorded his words and comings and goings soon following his look, and afterward went about promulgating the rely on with not inconsiderable enthusiasm and cuff in saving souls.' Naughty to this haunting misreading, the exactness is that, in growth to the sizeable cost of massacre which accompanied its axis, Christianity's history is sweeping with forged and misappropriation. So unrestrained is this treachery and chicanery that any serious examiner requisite swiftly begin to weigh up about the story itself. In truth, the Christian not tell the truth has reliably been as awkward to win as the myths and fables of other cultures; yet incalculable battle have space for been strong to neglect the reasonable gaze at and to eagerly suffer it, even though they may in the same way as effortlessly discharge the approaching standardized stories of these other cultures." -Acharya S., "The Christ Contrive" (21)
"The clergy committed the simple wisdom of Jesus popular an machinery for enslaving the world and tainted by difficult constructions popular a means to capture wealth and power to themselves...these clergy, in fact, assembly the real Anti-Christ. - Thomas Jefferson"
