History Summarized: Pope Fights

The Medieval Catholic Church was... an interesting place, to put it lightly. Sometimes there was more than one Pope at a time, and sometimes they fought each other for power. Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you Pope Fights! The most absurd chapter in all of Catholicism.

11.19: Not to be a nerd or anything, but it was never Martin Luther's intention to leave the church. He wanted to make things better, to improve the church. Amd then the church was like, no we excommunicate you, but a lot of especially German countries and nobles were like, hey that sounds fun, that way I don't have to listen to everything my church says and it spares me a lot of money. And that was the actual way reformatiom turned into protestantism, instead of just all of the christian world being changed.

[@enriquepenanieto4398]

To be fair Martin Luther did preach some extremely heretical concepts like the 5 solas.

[@vivienneshakur9730]

hmm .... it was all about power actually. because despite that martin luther was somehow portrait as a man of the people by translating the bible into german and condemning the selling of indulgences, he was a man of the aristocrats and AGAINST the suffering people and actually AGAINST THE REAL TEACHINGS of JESUS ( prophets of zwickau and the peoples movement of original christians). Martin Luther was straight about building a new church power and the aristocrats wanted to seperate from dictate of rome (for example take the prince-bishops who were tired of this dictate and prepared a comon willing ground for Luthers actions). Luther went so far to agitate the aristocrats into the mercyless massacre of farmers who protested against the inhumane oppression by the feudalists!! (-> "kill, beat, strangle who you can. if you die, you die in obedience to the words of God and his orders" MLuther, 1525, in Against the angry farmers) in these socalled farmers wars 70.000 - 100.000 poor people were killed some leaders were hung up upside down by lutherians and slid open with a saw from the testicles to the chest you have to understand that the kings and the pope were fighting for the supreme power for long time resulting in the kings being crowned by the pope etc. ( check out Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV's trek to Canossa Castle) . So get this whole thing about the meaning of what Luther did. The selling of indulgences brought money to rome to build the Peters dome! but the catholic power structure (priests, pastors etc) they were the ones who actually took that money. at some point this led to total corruption of the pastors and priests. who they took this money from? basically everybody that had money. Which were the ARISTOCRATS getting pressed for their money to enrich rome!!!!! (and they pressed it out of their farmers) Thats why it was hella convenient for the aristocrats to have a Luther do the dirty work for them and then hide him in their castles so he could translate the bible from latin into german, which the aristocrats were capable of reading!! (normal people couldnt read at all) actually before Luther others already translated the bible into german, but since the lack of feudalistic support this was not widespread. so the motive was from the beginning to free the aristocrats from the roman powerstructure by building its OWN churchal powerstructure. NOT to establish a holy and truely divinely inspired christianity that would actually HELP THE PEOPLE who suffered extremely under churchal and feudalists oppression and exploitation!!!

[@vivienneshakur9730]

i can go a lil deeper into this whole thing about the meaning of the sale of indulgences. so there was this arch-bishop Albrecht of Brandenburg who wanted to have another electorate (Mainz), which was officially not allowed. so the pope decided in his favor, but told him to pay 21.000 ducates for the building of the peters dome in rome. to do so Albrecht borrowed this money from the biggest financier family, the fuggers! and planned to pay his debt by using half of the money he collected by the selling of indulgences!! sooooo .... by Luther raising everybody up in arms about the wrongs of selling of indulgences .... he was messing with the extremely powerful Fugger family and everybody that they had bizz with!! At the same time the german Kaiser Maximilian had died and the college of electors (3 archbishops and 4 secular grand electors) was about to anounce the new Kaiser of germany (holy roman empire bla). the candidates were Francoise I. of france and Henry VIII. of england, but they were not really considered. then you had romes favourite prince-elector Friedrich lll. of saxony. and the grandson of the Kaiser Maximilian called Karl, duke of Burgund and king of spain, and inheritor of the lands of habsburg. Now it becomes interesting. The Fuggers were creditors to the habsburgers (Kaiser Maximilian ) and still expected to receive 170.000 ducates. so they supported Karl! Friedrich lll. was romes favourite only because rome feared that the house of habsburg would become too powerful and decline romes power in europe. but actually Friedrich supported Luther!!! he was hiding him , because he didnt want his money to leave the country (btw precious metals were rare and to make these coins was not easy, besides losing money meant losing power) with the election of the new Kaiser also came along something historically new: they wanted to unite europe under their reign of universal monarchy! so this was some serious shit! now the Fuggers blatantly bribed all electors so Karl became Kaiser, and the fuggers the financiers of the kaiser (the fuggers btw had shares of mines with silver, copper in czech and slovakia) so you see that the aristocrats did what they could to undermine rome in one way or the other in the aim for total dominion over europe but the selling of indulgences was a way to raise money for the clerical aristocrats that had to pay debt. the small access to precious metals played also a big role leading to the never ending hunger for gold, colonialism and brutal genocides all over the world in this game for dominion over europe

In case anyone else is also wondering the accuracy of the translation of "listen, son", I looked it up and apparently it said "ausculta fili", which indeed does literally translate to "listen son". More specifically: Ausculta means "listen" in second-person singular (you) present (now) active (doing action, as opposed to receiving) imperative (giving an order) Fili means "son" in singular vocative (the thing that's being spoken to) My source is Wiktionary, I don't actually speak Latin so idk if it's accurate.

[@lordhades8025]

I searched it up. The translation that comes up is "Give ear, my son" which is pretty much the same thing just fancier.

Fun Fact(s): Antipope Clement VII was known by the wonderful moniker "The Butcher of Cesena" after he ordered the execution of between 2500-5000 civilians in the town after its refusal to surrender during the Eight Saints' War. Pope Urban VI, the Roman claimant (and, as of 1958, when the real John XXIII became pope, the legitimate pope during this whole mess), was a literal gangster with deep ties to the Italian mob. Before becoming cardinal, he was on the streets and mixed up with unsavory elements of society, which he retained into his papacy. Antipope John XXIII fled from Constance but was captured and was eventually tried for heresy, simony, schism and immorality, convicted, and imprisoned.

Shreyas Misra Dude, I don't know what Catholics you talk to, but I've yet to meet any who say they have a problem with him, much less hate the guy. Sure, they might not necessarily agree with him on his personal stances regarding every aspect in life, but you're going to find that with any pope that comes into the position or has previously held the position. A lot of Catholics absolutely adore Francis though because he's a pope for more modern times, something which Pope Benedict before him definitely was not. I like that about him. The times are always changing, and if we really stuck with "Catholic values" in their original form, the pope would be damning everyone as sinners and accusing people of heresy worthy of excommunication or even death for ridiculous things. So don't go calling Francis a hypocrite and propagandist for choosing not to be old-fashioned. He's not interested in being the same as his grandfather's pope.

"Functionally kings" Even today the Pope are crowned as King of Vatican City and Vatican City is an absolute monarchy so they are actually kings

[@varana]

There is no actual title "King of Vatican City" or somesuch, esp. as the State of Vatican City was established in 1929 and is not just a continuation of the old Papal States. The Pope acts as the monarch of Vatican City (which is why CGP Grey referred to him as "king of VC") but he doesn't actually bear the title.

For those who are interested, a german author (Karl Heinz Deschner) wrote the book series "Criminal History of Christianity". It is a great analysis of all the crimes and mistakes the different denominations did over time, although it is still not finished. It is very entertaining as well. John XII was the best pope of course, the last pornocracy pope (I'm really not sure about this translation, the german term "Pornokratie" is a proper historic term, it means "reign of the whores" and is used to describe a certain period in catholic history about 904 - 963).
