RE: So When Did The Pope Become Hot Shit?
Okay... history lesson here.

Constantinope did not exist until Constantine built it in the 4th century.

Cairo was not founded until 969 AD.  That was 300 years after the muslim conquest so, no.  Cairo had little to nothing to do with jesusism.  Alexandria was the main city of Roman Egypt which became a Roman province after 31 BC after the Battle of Actium. 

As near as we can tell the main centers of early xtianity were Alexandria, Ephesus, and Antioch.  It was not until Justinian issued his Pentarchy in 527 ( long after Leo I) that Rome was declared the patriarchy for all of Europe - at that time an area being extensively overrun by hordes of smelly barbarians - while Alexandria, Constantinople, Antioch and Jerusalem were given the East.  Presumably this reflects the far greater percentage of people living under Roman, and therefore xtian rule at the time.  The date of 527 is important.  Just over a century later, Jerusalem, Antioch and Alexandria were overrun by the muslims.  Constantinople survived in much reduced status until 1453 at which time Rome became the clear winner by default.

Some "victory."

With Venice having a hand in the procedures, since Constantinople never really recovered from the sack of 1204. From thereon the losing street turned into a highway.

A big hand, to be sure.  Of course this was after The Great Schism so it was basically two groups each calling the other heretics.  Typical religious horseshit, eh?

If I recall the pope in 2004...the 800th anniversary of the sack of Constantinople "apologized" for what the Crusaders did.  So typical of popes to think they can say "I'm sorry" and that's all there is to it.

Sanctimonious cocksuckers.

1992 was actually the year when that particular sucker issued his biggest verbal fart. When he celebrated the 500th anniversary of American natives being blessed by the light of the cross.

Long before the internet and long before youtube. So it's rather hard to come by that little quote. But I witnessed him saying it. One of the last straws making me leave the church behind.

Thanks for the corrections.  Let it be known that errors in my post were mine, not Asimov's.

So ever heard of the Donatio Constantini (The Donation of Constantine?)

http://www.christian-history.org/donatio...ntine.html


Quote:The Donation of Constantine has not been held up as legitimate since corrupt Roman popes of medieval times. It was, however, a shock to Martin Luther to discover that the Donation of Constantine (and the Isidorian Decretals) were forgeries. It led him to debate whether the pope was antichrist himself.

The Donation gives authority of the western Roman empire to the bishop of Rome, specifically to Sylvester. It mentions Rome, Italy, and "all the western regions." Then it adds that Constanine was returning to Constantinople to rule the east, since there is no point in a secular emperor ruling where God has planted the head of the Church.

The xtian forgery mill was working overtime with this piece of shit. 

This thing purported to be a division of the Roman Empire with Constantine giving the fucking pope... who as far as I can see was essentially a nobody at that time...(he did not even attend the Council of Nicaea) and a much later church scholar determined that this thing was an 8-9th century forgery (750-850 AD.) 

This brings up the interesting question of why someone in the church, 300 years after the Western Empire fell, felt it necessary to try to give the pope a little boost for his holy ass? 
Apparently the bullshit story about st peter wasn't enough so they had to bring in Constantine for legitimacy.
