Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 898 "The Rape of Rome"

Pigeons are not uncommon in the Vatican, after all, the white dung-making machine symbolizes peace.

It's just that no one will be in a good mood if they are hit by this "peacemaker" shit.

"Damn it!" Joseph saw the white pigeon droppings on his shoulder, and couldn't help cursing as an unclergyman, which made a nun who had just walked out of the gate of the Apostolic Palace look at him strangely.

Such a curse is not even considered a swear word in America, but the nun crossed him.

He bit the bullet and quickly walked past the Swiss guards into the palace.

After the treatment, the Pope's health has improved a lot, and he has now returned to his residence from the hospital.

Every Wednesday, the Pope will give a speech at the window of the study in the second room from the right on the top floor and the believers gathered in St. Peter’s Square. This time, after he was discharged from the hospital, he waved to the believers at the window and then went back to the dormitory Rest, no reopening of office yet.

Since the Renaissance, there has been no pope who has not emphasized the connection between art and faith. People in that era spent money like water, painting murals and constructing sculptures with expensive materials to decorate this sacred place.

Artists are always squeezed. Michelangelo painted his own skin on the frescoes of "The Last Judgment" on the west side of the Sistine Chapel. As a famous master of sculpture, Pope Julius, the god of war The Second King asked him to paint murals.

And because Julius II was in poor health, he often urged Michelangelo to finish it as soon as possible.

Michelangelo answered him with only one sentence: When it's done - Michelangelo Buonarotti.

Artists are not cows, and inspiration is not milk, which can be stimulated by hormones.

Even Julius II, who personally led the army and defeated Louis XII of France, Aragon Ferdinand II and other kings, could not do anything about Michelangelo. The two bad-tempered guys hated each other , but Michelangelo was indeed a genius. It took him four years to paint the Zenith, and they collaborated to complete a miracle.

During the same period, Raphael was also asked to decorate the Pope's residence and library. Raphael was a superficially obedient painter. He led his students to paint many murals for the Pope, and the Academy of Athens was one of them.

In this painting, he sneaked in portraits of himself, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.

Later, these former pope's residences were called Raphael's rooms. There are three corridors named by Raphael in the Apostolic Palace, two of which were painted by him himself, and one was created by him because of his untimely death. The disciple is finished.

The three corridors are not as perspective as Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling painting, but they were all so extravagant that the Tsar had an identical copy in his Winter Palace.

Martin Luther felt that such extravagance and waste should be stopped. In order to maintain the financial problems when he was in school, Luther formed a choir with other school children.When wealthy families ate their supper, they listened to hymns sung by children's choirs.After the host has eaten, the children in the choir can start to enjoy the leftover dishes of the hosts, and if they are lucky, they can get some tips. Generally speaking, they are similar to beggars.

There is a famous story in China that a beggar would rather die of starvation than eat the "food that comes from you". Even a beggar has dignity.

Martin Luther was not an artist like Michelangelo and Raphael. After being expelled from the Holy See and returning to Germany, he preached that the Holy See needed to be reformed, and it happened that the princes and the bourgeoisie were dissatisfied with the status quo. An army raided Rome, rather a group of robbers looted Rome. What they wanted was money. They looted Rome just like Napoleon and the crusaders who sacked Constantinople. Many precious treasures were stolen by them. Robbed.

Even the famous paintings left on the walls and painted by Renaissance masters did not escape their devastation, the portraits of the Pope were painted with graffiti, and even their bones were excavated from the graves.

The current St. Peter's Square suffered a bloodbath before it was built, and the blood was all Christians.

A hundred or so Swiss Guards and tens of thousands of German mercenaries yelled loudly. At that time, Pope Clement VII did not lead troops to fight like Julius II. When the Swiss mercenaries fought with the Germans on St. Peter's Square During the melee, he fled down the Borgo Passage to Castel Sant'Angelo.

The army with lax military discipline looted wantonly in the city of Rome. Those "devils" and "evil spirits" actually follow the darkness of people themselves, making people fall into cognitive confusion, and then do terrible things.

For Pope John Paul II, "women" are a dark secret, but he and Mother Teresa are aboveboard and do not need to hide.

He said they were just friends, but he knew best what he thought.

If he had nothing to fear, he would have nothing to hide, let alone having left the Vatican in secret many times.

If he was not the Pope, but just an ordinary person, perhaps such a painful problem would not exist.

Even like those popes in the Middle Ages, he had mistresses and illegitimate children, and he was as greedy and hedonistic as Alexander VI, and he didn't have that pain.

And this point is the "gap" that the devil takes a fancy to. It will erode his heart little by little along that defensive loophole, and reverse his worldview and values.

Just like those soldiers who followed Luther into the Vatican, did they really follow Martin Luther's call to purify the Holy See?

During the sack of Rome, about 1000 defenders of the pope's capital and temple were brutally executed, and churches, monasteries, and courts of high priests were destroyed and looted.Even pro-imperial cardinals paid soldiers to preserve property.

The king of Spain, who had a personal enmity with Clement VII, also entered the city, and with him came the peasants who had his fiefs, and they planned to revenge here for the plunder they had suffered earlier by the orders of the pope.However, when Carlos I saw the tragic situation in the city, he couldn't help being moved, and took in some Roman citizens in his palace.

After three days of devastation, Felbert, Prince of Orange, ordered the looting to cease, but most of the soldiers disobeyed.

They want more money, the more the better, and those precious works of art, which will be very valuable in the future, don't take advantage of this time to snatch all that can be snatched away, and next time they can wear it like this time The Holy Cloak legal robbery does not know when.

In the end, Rome was looted by greedy soldiers just like Jerusalem and Constantinople.

200 years later, Napoleon's army began to sack the city again.

The Mona Lisa in the Louvre was not very famous at first, it was just one of the treasures looted by the French from Italy, but it became famous because a thief created a sensational art theft case in Europe.

The thief was Vincenzo Perugia, an Italian.He studied painting and trained in the art of decorative painting in his hometown Dumaza.Before the theft, he was working at the Louvre, one of five maintenance workers responsible for cutting and cleaning the glass of the picture frame.

Perugia is a very patriotic person, he thinks that all 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". Sarah.

Insiders are often hard to guard against.

In the 19th century, when the Holy See was in financial crisis, Leo XIII set up a committee to manage the palace.

Apart from personal assistants and personal butlers, the Pope is one of the few people who accompany the Pope.

Many people like to write their own biographies, especially when they are related to famous people, so that they can follow along with fame and fortune.

There are three secret prophecies in the event of Fatima, the first prophecy is demons and spirits in human form, the second prophecy is that if people don't stop offending God, when you see the night is illuminated by an unknown light, this is God Great sign that the world will be punished for its sins in the form of wars, famines and persecutions of the Church and the Pope.

Later, when Pius XI was inside, the First World War happened, the Great Famine in the Soviet Union, and the Spanish Civil War happened.Persecution of Catholicism by the left in Mexico and Spain.

To avoid this, Madame Rose asked Russia for a consecration of her Immaculate Heart, and for the Sacrament of Penance on the first Saturday.If her demands are followed, Russia will be converted and there will be peace, if not, she will spread her error across the world, causing war and persecution of the Church, good people will be martyred, the pope will suffer much, much countries will be wiped out.In the end, her Immaculate Heart will prevail, the Pope will dedicate Russia to her, and the world will be at peace for a time.

This refers to World War II, the great persecution of Orthodox believers by the Soviet Union.

During the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union reopened the church at the critical moment when Moscow was under the German army.The Soviet Union turned defeat into victory, and finally the Soviet Union disintegrated in the 90s, and the Orthodox Church returned.

The third prophecy is that after the fulfillment of the first two prophecies, we see an angel holding a flaming sword in his left hand slightly above the right side of the Virgin. The emitted light then goes out.Pointing to the ground with his right hand, the angel shouted: "Atonement, Atonement, Atonement".Then we see, in the boundless light of God, "like the reflections of people passing through a mirror" a bishop dressed in white, "whom we think is the Pope," and other bishops, priests, men and women of the faithful. I was climbing a steep mountain, and on the top of the mountain there was a big wooden cross that looked like a crude cypress with bark.

Before arriving the Pope staggered through a great city, half in ruins and half trembling, where, tormented by pain and mourning, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he passed.

After reaching the top of the mountain, he knelt under the big cross, and a group of soldiers shot bullets and arrows at him and killed him. Then in the same way, bishops, priests, male and female believers died one by one, and laymen of various classes and positions.

Under the arms of the cross, two angels hold a crystal holy water dipper in each hand, and they use it to collect the blood of the martyrs and sprinkle it on the souls that go to God.

The third prophecy looks like the end of the world.

Poor as the possessed little girl was, Joseph had more important things to do.

After all, this prophecy is not quite the same as the prophecies made by other magic sticks. If it is true, it would be too bad.

　Michelangelo wrote a poem while painting the Sistine Ceiling

Throat panting like a fat pigeon, belly dangling like a pocket, beard pointing to the ceiling, brains falling into the back of the head.

The Pope is also a violent person, and he reminded him countless times, but Michelangelo continued to paint slowly. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and chased Michelangelo with his staff, asking, "When will it end?! When will it end? ?!"

Michelangelo finished it before he died
The Last Judgment was painted 20 years after the completion of the Sistine ceiling painting. Michelangelo painted his own skin on the wall, expressing "feeling the body is hollowed out", and the exploitation is endless!
The picture of God creating Adam is very famous, God looks like it is in the brain, and the one next to him eating the forbidden fruit is straightforward, and Eve's head is turned 180 degrees...

There are men and women kissing and men running naked. Cesena, the head of ceremonies, said that this is not a Catholic chapel, but it would be appropriate to change it into a bathhouse.

The Pope didn't say anything, but Michel's lungs exploded with anger. As soon as the manager walked away, Michel drew him—the judge of hell, the villain Minos in Greek mythology, and let a snake entangle him, and let him draw it. The snake bit his...

What kind of judgment can so savagely deny the masterpieces of God, and think that shoes are nobler than human feet; clothes are nobler than human skin?
People like Lockhart are

Legal robbery is very cool, no wonder so many people can't stop, it's just too painful to be the victim
