Chapter 834 "FollowerIV"
The Pope of the Borgia family, Alexander VI had bribed the cardinals before he was elected as the apostle.
The monastery was first built in a sparsely populated area. The monks not only cleared the forest and felled wood, but also engaged in agriculture and handicrafts. Their life was very boring and there was no entertainment at all.
Later, the monastery began to accept gifts from kings and lords. The monastery not only engaged in agriculture, but also made wine. It was also a school, court, and a place where various privileges concentrated. Peasant rebels and pirates often attacked the monastery. After the Reformation in the 16th century, England and Scandinavia The monasteries in the Navia countries were closed one after another, and many territories were liberated.
Sfogliatella is a kind of shell-shaped Italian pastry, it looks like a lobster tail, filled with a lot of cream, this kind of pastry originated in the monastery. In the 17th century, the Naples pastry chef obtained the original recipe and began to sell it in his shop.
It is included in the food sent by the Flower God Cafe.
Among the many grains, the medieval people believed that wheat was the first of all wheat, the most nutritious, and the most expensive. The bread that the nobles ate was made of refined flour, while the lower class could only eat some rough, dry and black bread covered with flour.
During famine, the poor would use millet, dried bean pods, acorns, and ferns instead of grains.
Regardless of the poor and the small and the occasion, sometimes oats, rye, barley, and buckwheat are cooked into gruel and milk porridge. This is really difficult for the bishops who are used to eating grilled eel.
The problem is, this is what the cardinals can eat when the Sistine Chapel holds a secret meeting to elect the pope.
For these wealthy bishops, fast means not eating red meat, and it’s time to switch to seafood.
Coveted for pleasure and unwilling to live a hard life, Rodrigo Borgia saw the opportunity to let his illegitimate son find a way to enrich the cardinals’ three meals and at the same time attach bribes. This is how he became the pope. of.
Bread plays an important role in society, and there are incidental regulations in the surrounding industries. Among them, the medieval guild was originally composed of baker's, and there were also a series of laws in various places to stabilize the price of bread.
If someone cheated by using bread, it was a serious crime at that time. If the baker cheats the scales or uses sub-materials to make high-quality bread, he will be heavily fined. In order to protect themselves, when someone buys a dozen of 12 breads, they would rather give a dozen of 13 breads, which they call "a dozen for the baker."
The punishment for cheating is very heavy, but people still can’t stand the temptation to cheat, ranging from shoddy bread to fake Jeanne of Arc, plus true and false exorcists and alchemists, preaching honesty The church that guides people towards good seems to be reliable, and the result is corruption and extravagance within the Holy See.
The infection caused by mental illness may be incurable, but the disease caused by the virus can be cured. Unlike Catholics who promote "miracles" and categorical preaching everywhere, Protestants use medicine to preach, and the development of medicine in Protestant countries is faster than that of Catholicism. Much faster.
Before the Middle Ages in ancient Greece and Rome, the medical technology of Europeans had developed to a very good level. The "Hippocratic Oath" of the famous ancient Greek doctor Hippocrates is still in use today and is regarded as The common creed of medical staff all over the world.
However, medicine itself should be a science that does not believe in gods. With the rise of Christianity, the Greco-Roman civilization has dimmed since then, and European medicine has returned to the primitive witch doctor era. Bloodletting is recognized as an effective treatment.
In the early Middle Ages, many fanatical Christians refused all surgery and medical treatment at all, but believed that just going to Rome or Jerusalem, praying to God, and applying holy oil were enough to cure all diseases.
Longinus, who was originally blind, recovered after being sprayed with the blood of Jesus. Cataract is a very common eye disease. Even without the current eye surgery, China’s Golden Needle Removal can still make people a thousand years ago. Fuming.
Those who say that "the sinners who receive secular medical care are all heretics" as long as the ancient Greek and Roman medicine was monopolized by the Arabs at that time, they were also preaching with medicine, and there were Jewish doctors and druids who used herbal medicine. Wait.
As long as it is not pneumonic plague, the fatality rate of bubonic plague is about 30-50%. Although Chinese medicine can not effectively cure the disease, it can also reduce the fatality rate to about 10%. It is mainly for patients with mild and early medications, and for severe cases. Basically invalid.
Doctor Bird’s Beak’s mask is actually a mask, filled with herbs to avoid inhaling toxic air.
The problem is that ordinary people think that Doctor Bird's Beak is a symbol of death. A paper ball appears on a clean floor, which looks very conspicuous, and an ink dot on a piece of clean paper is also very conspicuous. Wearing a mask will have to be stared at— -What's the problem with this person?
In order not to be noticed, don’t wear it, even if it exposes yourself to dangerous airborne pneumonic plague.
The intelligence of the group is always lower than that of the isolated individual, but whether the group’s performance is better or worse than the individual depends on the environment and the nature of the cues accepted.
Arab women wear veils. It’s strange that they go to the streets without veils. The Venetians used to wear masks as their daily life. This seemed strange to Napoleon. The key was that it was not conducive to his rule. If you want to catch a prisoner, you need to know how long he is. No matter what, the policeman who put on a mask didn't recognize him. He gave a mandatory order not to allow Venetians to wear a mask.
Visitors who came to Venice for the first time are not used to the local people’s habit of wearing masks. The carnival is over. Why are there still people wearing masks?
The gorgeous masks are very noticeable. They have been staring at the person. For those who are used to being inconspicuous, they don't understand the fun of being noticeable.
There is no way to understand why young people deliberately cause trouble to attract attention, and why they lie in the Inquisition court.
Parents will pay attention to the needs of their children. When a baby cries, the mother will feed and drink. The feeling of crying, crying but no one pays attention to it, being surrounded by family members, and a happy grown-up child cannot understand .
Snape drank coffee while looking at the information about Zodiac on the secretary's desk.
and the secretary-general is answering the phone.
People in middle age, self-control ability is getting stronger and stronger, no one can see them under the mask of calm
Perhaps only the Secretary-General’s occasional glance at the unmoved sfogliatella exposed his thoughts****** The Bards were once "barbarians", and the Waldos were like five young men who went to preach to the cannibals. People enter the towns of Lombardy like people.
They preached the gospel to the Lombards, and Alexander III affirmed their poverty-saving behavior, but stipulated that they could preach only with the invitation of the bishop.
Compared with the Waldos, the Albi is a greater threat, and the first thing that Alexander III in exile had to deal with was them.
Alexander III once wanted to organize the Crusades, but failed. At that time, he also participated in the reform of religious traditions and presided over the Lateran Conference in 1179, which aimed to further eliminate the hostile forces originally supported by the emperor and mobilize all Western European churches to face it. The growing heretical movement.
The most important thing is that he annoyed Frederick I, the red beard, because he referred to the empire as a "federated land", metaphorically as a gift from the pope.
In 1174, Frederick I took the fifth military action against Italy. With his support, the Lombard League was established, and Frederick I was defeated at the Battle of Legnano, and finally the "Venice Peace Treaty" was signed.
According to the contract, Frederick I returned the church property, and at the same time promised not to interfere in the internal affairs of the papacy. He also recognized Alexander III as the legitimate pope, and knelt at the feet of Alexander III and kissed his feet.
For men with foot fetish, kissing the feet of a pink jade goddess is willing.
Kneeling down and kissing an old man’s feet is disgusting.
What kind of crusades can be launched without the support of the emperor.
At the meeting, the "New Pope Election Law" was passed, stipulating that only the cardinal can be elected as the pope in the election of the pope. Anyone who obtains a two-thirds majority of the bishops’ conference is the pope, without the approval of the emperor, and he is elected as the pope. Lifetime, this principle is still in use today. At the same time, it is stipulated that the candidate for the bishop must be a non-illegitimate Christian who is at least 30 years old.
Sending one’s illegitimate children to the church was the custom of the feudal aristocracy. The eldest son inherited everything, and the second son had nothing, let alone illegitimate children. But the church at that time was a good way out for ordinary men. If illegitimate children can become pope, then The Holy See will also receive many concessions in diplomacy.
These kind believers don’t know what the “chain of interest” is. It not only maintains the upper-level relationship, but is also a chain of demons that binds the saints.
When the secretary-general put down the phone, the wizard pushed the plate of "lobster tails" in front of the secretary-general.
"People may be guilty, but food is not guilty." Snape said with an irritated smile, "Don't waste food. Waste is a blasphemy."
