Chapter 898 "The Tribulation of Rome"
Pigeons are not uncommon in the Vatican. After all, the white manure machine symbolizes peace.
It’s just that if anyone is hit by the feces of this “peace messenger”, no one will feel happy.
"Damn it!" Joseph saw the white pigeon dung on his shoulder, and couldn't help but screamed at the clergyman. This made a mother who had just walked out of the gate of the Apostle Palace looked at him weirdly.
This kind of curse is not even a **** in the United States, but the mother crossed him.
He bit his head and quickly passed the Swiss guards into the palace.
After treatment, the Pope’s health has improved a lot, and he has now returned to his apartment from the hospital.
Every Wednesday, the pope will give a speech at the study window in the second room from the right on the top floor and the believers gathered on St. Peter’s Square. This time he also waved to the believers in that window after leaving the hospital, and then went back to the bedroom. Take a break and have not restarted the office yet.
Since the Renaissance, no pope in Rome has paid little attention to the connection between art and faith. People of that era spent money and used expensive materials to paint murals and build sculptures to decorate this sacred place.
The artist is always squeezed. Michelangelo painted his own skin in the fresco "The Last Judgment" on the west side of the Sistine Chapel. As a master of sculpture, Pope Julius, God of War The II asked him to paint murals.
And because Julius II was in poor health, he often urged Michelangelo to finish as soon as possible.
Michelangelo answered him with only one sentence: Whenit’sdone——Michelangelo Bonarrotti.
The artist is not a cow, and the inspiration is not milk. It can be induced by hormones.
Even Julius II, who personally led the army and defeated French Louis XII, Ferdinand II of Aragon and other kings, said that Michelangelo had nothing to do. The two grumpy guys looked at each other and hated each other. , But Michelangelo is indeed a genius. It took him four years to paint the zenith painting, and they worked together to complete a miracle.
In the same period, Raphael was also asked to decorate the Pope’s residence and library. Raphael was a superficially obedient painter. He took his students to paint many murals for the Pope. The Academy of Athens was one of them.
In this painting, he secretly added portraits of himself, Michelangelo, and Leonardo.
Later, these former pope’s residences were called Raphael’s rooms. There were three corridors named Raphael in the Apostolic Palace, two of which were painted by him himself, and one was due to his untimely death. The disciple is finished.
The perspective effect of these three corridors is not as good as Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling painting, but they are so luxurious that the Tsar copied one exactly the same in his winter palace.
Martin Luther felt that such extravagance and waste should be stopped. In order to maintain the financial problems of school, Luther organized a choir with other school children. When the wealthy have dinner, they will listen to the children’s choir singing hymns. After the owner has eaten, the children in the choir can start to enjoy the leftover dishes of the owner. If they are lucky, they can get some tips, which is similar to beggars in general.
There is a well-known story in China. A beggar would rather starve to death than eat the food that came. Even a beggar has dignity.
Martin Luther was not an artist like Michelangelo and Raphael. After he was expelled from the Holy See and returned to Germany, he preached that the Holy See needed reform, and it happened that the princes and citizens were dissatisfied with the status quo. 1527 was not so much the same. An army raided Rome. It is better to say that a group of robbers ransacked Rome. What they wanted was money. They looted Rome like Napoleon and the Crusaders who sacked Constantinople. There are many precious treasures by them. Robbed.
Even the famous paintings left on the walls and drawn by Renaissance painters did not escape their destruction. The Pope’s portrait was painted with graffiti, and even their bones were excavated from the tomb.
The current St. Peter’s Square suffered a bloodbath before it was built, and the blood belonged to Christians.
A hundred or so Swiss guards and tens of thousands of German mercenaries yelled. At that time, Pope Clement VII did not lead the war like Julius II. When Swiss mercenaries met the Germans on St. Peter’s Square During the scuffle, he fled to Castel Sant’Angelo along the Borgo passage.
The disorganized army looted the city of Rome. Those “devil” and “evil spirits” actually followed the darkness of people themselves, causing people to fall into cognitive confusion, and then do terrible things.
For Pope John Paul II, “woman” is a hidden secret. He and Mother Teresa are upright and do not need to hide.
He said they were just friends, but he knew best what he thought of him.
If he has nothing to fear, he does not need to hide, let alone leave the Vatican in secret many times.
If he is not the pope, but just an ordinary person, there may not be such a painful problem.
Even like those popes in the Middle Ages, he had mistresses and illegitimate children, and he was as greedy and enjoyable as Alexander VI without the pain.
And this is the “gap” that the devil sees. It will erode his heart bit by bit along the loopholes of defense, inverting his worldview and values.
Like the soldiers who followed Luther into the Vatican, did they really follow Martin Luther’s call to purify the Holy See?
In that Roman catastrophe, about 1,000 guards of the pope’s capital and temple were brutally executed, churches, monasteries, and the courts of the high priesthood were destroyed and ransacked. Even pro-imperial cardinals must pay soldiers to preserve property.
The King of Spain, who had a private vengeance with Clement VII, also entered the city. The peasants who came with him had his fief, and they planned to retaliate against the plunder previously suffered by the Pope’s orders. However, when Carlos I saw the tragedy in the city, he couldn't help but was moved and took some Roman citizens in his palace.
After three days of ravages, Prince Philbert of Orange ordered the looting to stop, but most of the soldiers did not comply.
They want more money, the more the better, and the precious works of art, which will be very valuable in the future. Don’t take advantage of this time to **** away all that can be snatched away. They can wear them like this next time The holy cloak was legally robbed and I don’t know when.
In the end, Rome was ransacked by greedy soldiers just like Jerusalem and Constantinople.
Two hundred years later, Napoleon’s army began looting the city again.
The Mona Lisa in the Louvre was not very famous at first. It is just one of the treasures that many French robbed from Italy, but it is famous because a thief created a sensational art theft case in Europe.
The thief is called Vincenzo Perugia, an Italian. He learned to paint and trained in the art of decorative painting in his hometown of Dumaza. Before the theft, he worked in the Louvre and was one of five maintenance workers responsible for cutting and cleaning the framed glass.
Perugia is a very patriotic person. He believes that all the Italian artworks in the Louvre are illegal, so he is determined to bring a painting back to his home country. The painting he chose is "Mona Li Sha".
Inside thieves are often difficult to prevent.
The Holy See was in financial crisis in the 19th century, and Leo XIII established a committee to manage the palace.
In addition to personal assistants, there are personal butlers besides the Pope, who are among the few people who accompany the Pope.
Many people like to write their own biographies, especially when they are related to celebrities, so that they can follow fame and fortune.
The Fatima incident has three secret prophecies. The first prophecy is about demons and souls in human form. The second prophecy is that if people don’t stop offending God, when you see the night illuminated by unknown light, this is God. The major signs that will punish the world for sin are wars, famines, and persecution of the church and the Pope.
Later, when Pius XI was included, the First World War, the Great Famine in the Soviet Union, and the Spanish Civil War really occurred. Persecution of Catholicism by the Left in Mexico and Spain.
In order to avoid this, Mrs. Rose asked Russia to offer her Immaculate Heart, and the sacrament of penance on the first Saturday. If she obeys her request, Russia will convert her faith and there will be peace. If not, she will spread her mistakes to the world, leading to wars and persecution of the church. Good people will be martyred, and the pope will suffer a lot. Countries will be wiped out. In the end, her Immaculate Heart will prevail, the Pope will dedicate Russia to her, and then the world will have peace for a period of time.
This refers to the Second World War, the Soviet Union's great persecution of the Orthodox believers.
During the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union reopened the church at a moment of emergency when Moscow was approached by German soldiers. The Soviet Union turned defeat into victory, and eventually the Soviet Union disintegrated in the 1990s and the Orthodox Church returned.
The third prophecy is that after the first two prophecies are fulfilled, slightly above the right side of the Virgin, we see an angel holding a burning sword in his left hand. Its flame seems to be able to ignite the world. The radiated light is extinguished. Pointing to the ground with his right hand, the angel shouted: "Atonement, Atonement, Atonement". Then we were in the boundless light of God, “like the reflection of people from a mirror through a mirror” and saw a bishop dressed in white, “we think he is the pope”, and other bishops, priests, men and women. Climbing a steep mountain, on the top of the mountain there is a large wooden cross made of cork with bark.
Before arriving, the pope staggered through a big city, half in ruins and half trembling, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he passed by under the torment of pain and sorrow.
After reaching the top of the mountain, he knelt under the big cross. A group of soldiers shot him bullets and arrows to kill him. Then the bishop, priest, male and female believers died one by one in the same way, and lay people of different classes and positions.
Under the arms of the cross, there are two angels holding a crystal holy water ladle in each hand. They collect the blood of the martyred and sprinkle it on the souls heading to God.
How does the third prophecy look like the end of the world?
Although the possessed little girl is very pitiful, Joseph has more important things to do.
After all, this prophecy is not much the same as the prophecies of other gods. If it is true, it would be too bad.
Michelangelo wrote a poem while painting the Sistine Zenith
throat panting like a fat pigeon, belly hanging like a pocket, beard pointing to the ceiling, brains falling into the back of the head.
The pope is also a violent temper, and has urged countless times. As a result, Michelangelo still paints slowly. In the end, he can't bear it. He chased Michelangelo with his staff and asked, "When will it be over?! When will it be over." ?!"
Michelangelo finished before he died
The Last Judgment was painted 20 years after the completion of the Sistine Zenith painting. Michelangelo painted his own skin on the wall, expressing "feeling the body hollowed out", and the exploitation is endless!
The painting that God created Adam is very famous. God seems to be in the brain, and the forbidden fruit next to it is straightforward. Eve's head turned 180 degrees...
There are any other men kissing, or a group of men streaking, and Cesena, the chief of etiquette, said that this is a chapel of God, and it would be appropriate to change it into a bathhouse.
The pope didn’t say anything, but Mi Kai’s lungs exploded. Just as the steward walked away, Mi Kai painted him-hell judge, the villain Minos in Greek mythology, and let a snake entangle him and let him The snake bit him...
What kind of judgment can be so savagely to deny the masterpiece of God, thinking that shoes are noble than human feet; clothes are noble than human skin?
Lockhart is like
Legal robbery is so cool, no wonder so many people can’t stop it, but being the victim is too painful
