Is he the greatest ruler in history?

1/2

>Inheriting an Empire on the verge of disintegration, Pedro II turned Portuguese-speaking Brazil into an emerging power in the international arena. The nation grew to be distinguished from its Hispanic neighbors on account of its political stability, zealously guarded freedom of speech, respect for civil rights, vibrant economic growth and especially for its form of government: a functional, representative parliamentary monarchy. Brazil was also victorious in three international conflicts (the Platine War, the Uruguayan War and the Paraguayan War) under his rule, as well as prevailing in several other international disputes and domestic tensions. Pedro II steadfastly pushed through the abolition of slavery despite opposition from powerful political and economic interests. A savant in his own right, the Emperor established a reputation as a vigorous sponsor of learning, culture and the sciences. He won the respect and admiration of scholars such as Charles Darwin, Victor Hugo and Friedrich Nietzsche, and was a friend to Richard Wagner, Louis Pasteur and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, among others.
>"I was born to devote myself to culture and sciences," the Emperor remarked in his private journal during 1862. He had always been eager to learn and found in books a refuge from the demands of his position. Subjects which interested Pedro II were wide-ranging, including anthropology, history, geography, geology, medicine, law, religious studies, philosophy, painting, sculpture, theater, music, chemistry, physics, astronomy, poetry and technology, among others. By the end of his reign, there were three libraries in São Cristóvão palace containing more than 60,000 books. A passion for linguistics prompted him throughout his life to study new languages, and he was able to speak and write not only Portuguese but also Latin, French, German, English, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Sanskrit, Chinese, Occitan and Tupi.

2/2

Pedro II became a member of the Royal Society, the Russian Academy of Sciences, The Royal Academies for Science and the Arts of Belgium and the American Geographical Society. In 1875, he was elected to the French Academy of Sciences, an honor previously granted to only two other heads of state: Peter the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte. He exchanged letters with scientists, philosophers, musicians and other intellectuals. Many of his correspondents became his friends, including Richard Wagner, Louis Pasteur, Louis Agassiz, John Greenleaf Whittier, Michel Eugène Chevreul, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Arthur de Gobineau, Frédéric Mistral, Alessandro Manzoni, Alexandre Herculano, Camilo Castelo Branco and James Cooley Fletcher. His erudition amazed Friedrich Nietzsche when both met. Victor Hugo told the Emperor: "Sire, you are a great citizen, you are the grandson of Marcus Aurelius," and Alexandre Herculano called him a "Prince whom the general opinion holds as the foremost of his era because of his gifted mind, and due to the constant application of that gift to the sciences and culture."

The whole vid is good but if it's too long here is the best point:

Caths accuse prots of just interpreting it for themselves, yet we do the same thing. When the church declares there is no salvation outside the church we interpret it to mean except in this and this case.

The church never defined dogmatically what Acts 15 meant but we interpret it to confirm Peter's authority without the church confirming this.

So we are every bit as subjective but just leaning towards Rome.

Another major point and this has been bugging me about caths on this board too: Using the word tradition Paul used when he preached the gospel to hammer in Mariology, papal infallibility, purgatory, etc.

>So we are every bit as subjective but just leaning towards Rome.

That is kinda the point. That the church is made up of scholars stuyding the religion for over 2000 years in order to interpret it right.

How does that differ from laws, and lawyers studying them? Or scientist studying science?

>>1816490
Paul's traditions are written in the bible.

Nothing after the bible was written is known to be inspired by God.

So all of the "traditions" of the "early church fathers" are suspect. Not only that, but if you actually read Acts with any spiritual discernment, you would find that the "early church" in the first century was a mess.

And then if you read the Revelation with any discernment, you would see 7 churches, 4 of which were messes, and only three of which were even on the right track. And only two of those received no condemnation.

And that was all in the first century.

The bible interprets itself, but only if you have the Holy Spirit in you. Natural man cannot understand the things of God, because they are spiritually discerned.

Every single born again Christian has the spirit of God in them, and if they want to, can read and understand the scripture for themselves, and know what it means.

The boogeyman of the papacy burning bibles not in latin, telling people they cannot possibly understand the bible on their own, not to read it, but to take their "magisterium's" word for it is just simply cult behavior.

The roman catholic church, the eastern orthodox church, and islam are nothing but cults based loosely off of Christianity.

Peter was never a pope, never the bishop of Rome; if he ever went to Rome, it was to die. His bones are in Jerusalem, where they have been for 1900 years.

Only a cult would say its members are the only ones who can be saved. The truth is that the real church, what people call the invisible church, is not the roman catholic church at all.

And the roman catholic church is not a christian church, at all.

They base their authority off of "apostolic succession", which of course is not in the bible, but in their own tradition.

The truth is:
Rome is Babylon
Roman Catholicism is Mystery Babylon
The pope is the False Prophet of Mystery Babylon

>>1816503
Because natural men can understand science, because other natural men invented it. Same with law and lawyers.

The things of God are not understood by natural men; they are spiritually discerned, and require the presence and instruction of the Holy Spirit to understand.

And no, the Catholic church is not 2000 years old, and no, it has absolutely no idea what the bible means. Could care less.

- How come the Cossacks were so staunchly Orthodox through the ages?

- How prosperous was Kievan Rus in it's "golden age"?

- Why didn't the Russians or the other Orthodox countries expand like say Catholic Spain and Portugal?

- Even though they lack crusades are the Orthodox a more staunch, iron fist and spine warrior of faith kind of religion?

- Does Eastern Orthodoxy have any major or minor foothold in say China? Phili? Vietnam? India? In Asia and the Americas in general?

- Memes aside (ex-KGB controlling the Orthodox and the Catholic church being slops because their pope is.. well.. him) how come Serbia became Orthodox and Croatia Catholic when they are like.. almost as close to Italy if you don't mind land and just the Adriatic?

May ask some more silly questions in the commenty sectiony thingy.

Because it's about identity not religion. If they're not orthodox then they might as well become Poles or Turks.

That being said Christianity is a meme deal with it.

the American Civil War was never about slavery as a morally wrong practice

First and foremost was about State Rights and the Centralization of Power by the Federal Government
Northern Capitalist fighting against Souther Slaveholders for Lobbying Power
Slavery has the source of wealth for the Southern Slaveholders, the richest men in the country at the begining of the war and major financers of the Confederate States

If Lincoln loved slaves so much why did his declaration of freedom of slaves only applied to the confederate states?

Hey, I am just following the agenda since we have this thread every single day while Americans think anyone care or should care about their """""history""""".

Hell, not even new generation of Americans give a shit about what your forefathers did when you can follow the history of Brangelina and the great Battle of Custody over their kids.

Which battle/siege was the most brutal or horrifying in history?

>Battle of Cannae
More than 50.000 romans obliterated by a smaller Carthaginian army, incredible bloodshed on one day.

Which battles or sieges would you nominate? I thought about the siege of Carthage, but i don't know enough about the siege itself.

I'd say it's more memorable with the grammatical fuck up. Brings the fact that they're nazi scientists into mind which brings up a lot more about the whole situation surrounding nukes.

Not really.

You'd be closer to the truth to regard it as a struggle between Habsburg-backed countries and Capetian-backed countries, although those two families were catholic.
