Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 923 The Entrance to Hell

From ancient times to the present, in the scriptures of several major religions in the world, honey is almost considered to be pure, nutritious, and can be used for healing food, usually used for wound healing, burns, ulcers and nutritional supplements.

"Exodus" tells the story of the Israelites who were slaves in Egypt, led by Jehovah, to leave Egypt and go to the place where milk and honey flow—the land of Canaan.

This journey was led by the prophet Moses of the Israelites through the wilderness and out of the sea of ​​suffering.They came to Canaan, located on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea, west of the Jordan River.

Since then, giving people happiness and peace, the land flowing with milk and honey has been regarded as a symbol of heaven.

Jesus was crucified on the cross, and three days later he rose from the cross and appeared in front of 11 disciples. They were both happy and surprised and couldn't believe the fact that Jesus was resurrected. Jesus showed the wounds on his hands and feet to the disciples. The disciples Give Jesus a piece of grilled fish and a honeycomb filled with honey.He took it and ate grilled fish and honey in front of his disciples, proving his bodily resurrection.

Urban II delivered a demagogic speech to the participants at the religious conference held in Clement, France, attacking the "cruelty" of Eastern Christians and calling on people to take back the "Holy Land" Jerusalem.He also used the material benefits of the East as a lure, saying that the East was full of gold, milk and honey.

Some of the people who participated in the Crusades did expect to change their poverty through war, but some still participated in the war with the intention of protecting the pilgrims.

At least that was the case with the Knights Templar at first.

After the holy city of Jerusalem was captured by the Crusaders in 1099, many Europeans went to Jerusalem for pilgrimage. At this time, the main force of the Crusaders had returned to Europe. Pilgrims were often attacked by robbers on the road. De Pain and Geoffrey de Saint-Omer proposed to form a order of monks to keep the pilgrims safe.King Baldwin II of Jerusalem agreed and allowed them to use the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount as their base.They started out with just nine members, maintained by donations, and their coat of arms, with the image of two riders on a single horse, symbolized their poverty.

The Holy See is rich, but has no army. The Pope gave the Templars a lot of privileges. As a result, they quickly developed into an important force in the church, with a maximum of more than 2 members.

The Knights Templar is only responsible to the Pope, not under the command of the king and local bishops.

They were so rich that France and England even entrusted them with the royal treasury for a time.

No king would let them continue to grow, and at this time the Holy See had been moved to Avignon, Clement V was not elected at all, but appointed by King Philip IV of France.

The poor soldier had to think about whether his allegiance was to the pope or the king.It is convenient now, the pope also listens to the king, but when the king wants to rob the soldiers' property, no one will protect his "legitimate rights".

Under the Vatican, there are many parchments of religious trials recorded in Latin, including records about the trial of Morai, the head of the Knights Templar.

The record has been missing, and perhaps that's why it escaped Napoleon's search.

When questioned, Morley denied that he had ever spat on the cross, but only spat nearby.

He denied homosexuality in the Order, claiming he had no knowledge of it.

The Holy See sentenced him to charges of corruption and sexual misconduct, but not guilty of heresy, so he did not need to be executed.

The Pope publicly pardoned the Knights. He didn't want the Knights' money. He wanted the Templars to continue to serve the Holy See.

But the French king had too much power, and Clement V was just a puppet, unable to protect the members of the Templars.

Four years after the Avignon trial, the Pope announced the dissolution of the Knights Templar, and the King of France took the opportunity to send the head of the Knights Templar to the stake.

During the catastrophe of Rome, no other country came to rescue except the King of Spain who came to the Pope to understand his personal grievances.

Clement VII was the illegitimate son of Giuliano of the Medici family, and was later appointed cardinal by his cousin Pope Leo X.

When Charles V sent troops to sack Rome, King Henry VIII of England asked the Pope to declare his marriage to Catherine of Aragon invalid so that he could save Rome.

King Henry VIII of England opposed the spread of Luther's ideas, and cursed Martin Luther as "a dog who brought heresy to maturity and brought it out of hell", so Leo X bestowed him with the title of Guardian of Christianity.

He wanted a divorce and married Anne Boleyn. Catherine of Aragon only gave birth to a daughter for him. Henry believed that Catherine could not bear him an heir, so he applied for a divorce from the Pope, but Pope Clement VII refused. Divorce was granted, eventually causing the pope and Henry VIII to turn against each other.

For those who are determined to divorce, time cannot calm him down. Henry secretly married Anne Boleyn, and the British Parliament immediately legislated to secede from the Holy See.

From 1529 to 1536, Henry VIII held 8 meetings to carry out religious reforms, and removed Ursey, the representative of the Holy See in the United Kingdom, Archbishop of York and Privy Bishop of the King, even though the archbishop had announced that Henry and Catherine's marriage was invalid. Lin's marriage is legal.

Immediately afterwards, Henry VIII used Congress to expose many clergy corruption scandals, accusing the clergy of accepting the orders of the Pope's envoy as treason, forcing the clergy to declare themselves the "Supreme Head of the Church of England" and abolishing the highest authority of the religious court. Congress passed According to the "Supreme Act", the Anglican Church at this time still retained the organization, etiquette and teachings of the Holy See, but the authority of the king replaced the authority of the Pope, and the tribute paid to the church was paid to the king.

In Dante's Divine Comedy, Purgatory is located on the other side of the earth, opposite Jerusalem, surrounded by the sea.

He said that purgatory is like a spiral mountain, where souls repent and purify their sins.There are seven levels in purgatory, each representing the seven deadly sins, and each level up will eliminate a sin, until you reach the top of the mountain, you can ascend to heaven.

St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. He was kidnapped to Ireland as a slave when he was a teenager, and later escaped.He risked his life to return to Ireland to spread Catholicism and became the bishop of Ireland.

It is said that he became a shepherd during his six years in captivity. During this period of suffering, he prayed day and night, hoping that one day he could return to his hometown. A voice came to his ears, telling him that he was about to escape from the sheep farm, and that there was a ship waiting for St. Patrick on the shore about [-] miles away from the farm, so he took a few companions and rowed together. Flee Ireland by boat.

Later, when St. Patrick returned to Ireland to promote religion, more magical legends surrounded him. He taught the teachings to the congregation very carefully, but slowly the congregation began to question Catholicism and what he did. Patrick, wanting to see proof of the teachings he preached, was helpless.

So Patrick prayed to God, hoping that there would be some miracles to show the supreme doctrine, so Christ told him where the location of hell was, and he could show it to the congregation, so Patrick took the distrustful congregation to a cave , in the Red Pond in County Donegal, through that hole they went to the underworld.

Dante injects light into hell, because there is no longer a dark underground, but towards hope and heaven, a journey of life leading to redemption.

It was not just fetching water, but also an experience of going from hell to heaven. Galileo estimated hell according to Dante's verse at that time. He believed that since the distance from Jerusalem to Kumai, a legendary entrance to hell in Italy, was 1700 miles, hell The diameter of Satan should be 3400 miles, not only that, but he also calculated that Satan's height should be 3870 feet, which is much taller than the current Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

St. Patrick's Well wasn't deep enough, and Joseph couldn't find that "feeling that I was on a cliff, down into a bottomless valley of pain. The endless wail echoed in it like thunder. The valley was dark and deep, And the dense fog drifted away. I looked to the bottom of the valley, but my eyes were tired, and I couldn't see anything inside." The feeling came.

He felt only that uncertain hopes, like the blocks of a fool, are unreliable.

Standing in front of the majestic "Last Judgment", Joseph heard some vague voices. This painting has witnessed many pope elections and prayers of many believers, but he is not sure about them. What is said.

Is it the cardinal's discussion, or the pleas of ordinary people.

Joseph simply opened his hands and lay on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Lisa asked.

"Waiting for summons," Joseph said, looking at the angel blowing the trumpet.

"Just lie down like this?" Giuliano asked.

"Oh, I almost forgot, fetch some water." Joseph sat up again, "I want to lie in the water."
