syncretism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlaam_and_Josaphat

They were handed out like Snickers for whoever sucked the Pope's dick the hardest.

They also granted sainthood to really really awful people, such as Saint Cyril

They're not quite as made up as the rest of the cult.

T. jesus was a cuck.

No, it's not a good thing. The concept of being "moderate" is essentially endeavoring to be like Pontius Pilate. Respectable enough guy, does his job, doesn't like to rock the boat or pick a side, forced into an evil act to protect his own hide. Welcome to modern western civilization.

Catholicism and Protestantism both have lost their way, because the people behind them lost their way. The hope now is for individuals to study the word of God, realize this, and pick a side. Finally pick a side, no matter how risky or "illogical" it seems to everyone else.

I think our culture has PTSD from the thirty years so now we all agree to disagree just for the sake of peace.

Depended a lot upon the colony. Funny that the poster would accuse another of a grade school version of history and post the colonial studies 101 version. Missionaries were not usually the first to show. Explorers were. Explorers were followed by any number of people. In the Americas, it was usually hidalgos and missionaries at the same time. In Africa, it was either colonial companies or soldiers followed by the other. Colonists weren't always last, but they weren't usually first.

Nigga with that much text you might as well read an ACTUAL book on the history of colonial Africa.

For example, if a story says a hero is raised by wolves, can we say that wolves represent another race?

But why would we interpret it that way then? If the ancient people were really raised by another people why didn't they say so why would they invent a story about wolf milk? For entertainment ?

>>2703234

That's highly subjective and almost impossible to determine.

A big problem with the pre-modern idea of storytelling is that before we started thinking about concepts like objectivity and subjectivity, the factual and fictional were completely intertwined with each other.

Related to this is the idea of religious literalism, which is in fact a very modern idea, since, before inventions like the printed press, science as an independent, systematic field of study seperate from philosophy, and a hogher standard of living which allowed average folk to get access to all this information, the whole concept of taking a holy text literally would have been completely unheard of

>>2703264
So you mean the ancient people didn't really believe the wolf milk story?

Then did they read it as a metaphor of a more reasonable story?

I just don't understand why can't they record things without fictions

Reminder if you do not understand Latin, you cannot have a proper opinion about ANYTHING Roman, including history. Only once you have mastered Latin will your opinions be acceptable to me. I, as a master of the Latin language, will tell you the acceptable opinions to have. If you have any questions about the opinions you need to survive in Rome, ask me and I shall tell you them. You see, being an expert in Latin also makes me an expert in history. You may try to *claim* that the language does not impact the history, but this is just you trying to project your modern ideals onto Roman culture, and ultimately trying to insult the Latin people. I have lived in Rome as an English teacher 10 years now, and I am so well integrated in Roman culture and language that Romans now accept me as one of their own. So before you insult Roman culture with your baseless opinions again, please consider the feelings of the Roman people and people who have adopted the Roman identity such as myself.

He had to murder him because he was getting too popular with the army. Rome never quite managed to solve the problem of generals becoming more powerful than the Senate/Emperor.

How did other and later cultures manage this problem?

Bulgaria. The fact that they wanted even more land than they already had is just amazingly stupid.

>>2702585
S*rbia pretty clearly violated the agreement after Bulgaria had shoulderedbthe majority of the burden in the war.
