Caveat: This is my personal opinion and I apologize if it offends anyone.
I was born in 1948, spent 12 years in Catholic schools and was really stupid there. Because Catholics were forbidden to use birth control because the overall plan was to outnumber the competition, I came from a large family with four siblings older and four younger.
Because the 4 older were great in school, I didn’t attempt to compete. I read a lot but never assigned school readings. I was a hyper brat and a pain to be around, my parents gleefully allowed me to start working at 10 a few days a week. I just listened in class and never learned how to study until college.
Around the 7th grade I began picking up bad habits of speed reading. I took a formal class on it around age 22. Some suggest this lead to my downfall. I read every book I could find that I wasn’t supposed to read.
Latin. Both of my Grand-Parents spoke Spanish so all of my siblings studied it except me. I had visions of a science future so I chose Latin. Because it is a language seldom used for conversation but rather for reading, most of the two years we read from Caesar’s war journals. How ironical that I attended a religious school and studied warfare!
I discovered that I had a lot in common with Caesar, we both cheated. When he invaded a new region he introduced himself to the local chief and kidnapped his wife and family, in the event of a later dispute. The practice was called “obsidāticum“ for “Take Hostages”.
Latin also happened to be the stock-N-trade of the Vatican, located in Italy. Until the mid 60s, the Catholic mass was in Latin only. Catholics were never pushed to read the bible. This way, you had to learn what the bible said from an expert in a robe. This is why Peter Gutenberg had to flee Germany and escape to England in 1455, when the Vatican desired to kill him for printing the first bible in local languages instead of Latin.
In my early 30s I became a “Recovering Catholic”. My problem wasn’t with the faith, it was with the history of the Vatican. Over two thousand years, it had a lot of leaders more concerned with power rather than with the teachings of Christ.
Early Power Move. For the first thousand years the Vatican’s arrangement in the West was the Bishops ordained the kings to own the people on the land. Most of the people were Catholic and this legitimized the King getting his power from god. The good Catholics had to live with this.
King Arthur. Arthur was a fabled Welsh king of the 600 AD period. He was possibly a suggestion of democracy appearing some day. The fables mention that his wife was in a cloistered convent for most of the last part of their marriage. He was never allowed to see her. Somehow I have an idea why she was there.
The Crusades (1095 – 1291). The Vatican had no armies but the Western kings did. We are told the Vatican wanted to free Jerusalem from the non-Catholic Muslim rulers there. I could never understand why kings would lead war parties to the other side of the world to appease the Vatican.
By the way, I personally feel the Vatican was more after the seaports there as the world trade was opening from that area. To me, the Crusades were more about power and real estate. But I digress.
Until I was born, divorce and remarriage was a sentence to hell for Catholics. Imagine if you were a wealthy king with a miserable wife. The Vatican was able to raise armies because if a Christian killed an “infidel”, he automatically went to heaven with no possibility of hell. To the Kings constituents, this kept the Vatican off of his back if he held such a ticket. The Pope could never complain about how sinful he was, he earned it.
But as a side note, that policy had to be changed by one Pope. Someone realized there were infidels in Europe, that being Jews. Jews were the bankers because Christians could not charge interest but the Jews could. People began to kill the Jewish bankers because they were in their hometown and then get laid in their hometown that night. The pope had to become more specific to save the banking industry.
The Jesuits. The Society of Jesus was founded in 1540. Today a large number of them have law backgrounds. It is my personal belief that their ultimate goal is for the Vatican to control all the land on the planet, for god’s sake. I also believe they have leeway in dealing with monarchs and countries. Many Jesuits have been, and are assigned to, manage global governance.
Conquistadors & Romantic Languages.
Have you ever wondered why so many different languages are spoken in the Americas?
“Conquistadors were Spanish and Portuguese military adventurers who explored, traded with, and conquered vast territories in the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania during the 15th and 16th centuries. The term, meaning "conquerors," specifically refers to the leaders of expeditions that seized lands in the name of their monarchs, driven by a quest for gold, glory, and the spread of Christianity.” Source
In order to prevent the West from going to war with itself over the new found plunders available, the Vatican carved up the Americas with Canada for the French, the US area for the English, and Central and South America for Portugal and Spain. The carving agreement also required Jesuit priests be on all plundering ventures for the Vatican’s Out Numbering and Land Grab policies.
Montezuma’s Revenge. In 1520, the Spanish Conquistador Cortez, with 200 men, went into Mexico and Central America, the Aztec empire. That group gave their 9th emperor, Montezuma, one or two days to convert all of the population to Catholicism. He refused and he and many others were slaughtered, ending the Aztec empire in 1521.
Montezuma's Revenge is the pseudo medical term for the three “D’s”, resulting from a tourist drinking local water in South America - Death Defying Diarrhea.
Jeffery Epstein, We are led to believe extortion, Honey Traps, blackmail, killing hostages, etc. are newly discovered by Epstein. This is not true. This has been going on since Caesar, Kings, the Vatican, Jesuits and just plain ole plunderers have been around.
