When did Popes start taking a new name upon their ascendancy? Who was the first Pope to take a Papal name and how long was it until they all stated doing that?
>INB4 some Protestant shithead whines about his Babylonian /x/-tier shitposting
Go fuck yourself, this has nothing to do with Catholic theology just a tradition among its chief clergy. You will never convince anyone of your side with your historically-innacurate shitposting and garbage exegesis.
>inb4 Constantine
Nor is this about Papal Supremacy or some other doctrinal contention point. Remember the current Patriarch of Constantinople was born Dimitrios Arhondonis so you guys have your own little tradition of this too. And if it intersects with ours, I'd love to hear it. If not, I'd still like to hear it.

Go read the prophecy of the popes about the Malachy prophecies and come back when you're a little older and a little wiser, shithead.

>Go read the prophecy of the popes about the Malachy prophecies
That debunked crap formulated long after Malachy died by a 1500's bishop trying to make his bid for the papacy be predestined by God?
Kek.
bumping for interest
Crime has always played a large role in our society. I am very much interested in organized crime and their codes, activities, etc etc.
What crime group I'm history has interested you the most? Why?
For me it would have to be the Russian Mafia. Their evolution and how it coincides with Russian history is fascinating. If anyone could recommend any books on this topic, and good books on organized crime in general, it would be greatly appreciated.

Defiantly the Sicilian Mafia. I'm American of Sicilian descent and Cosa Nostra does hold a very special place in American culture. It's romanticized similar to the Wild West with media such as the The Sopranos and The Godfather.
Why the did the Spanish get the comfy tropical empire but the British and French get the frozen shitholes?

"frozen shitholes"

Humid Shithole then.
because the spaniards were willing to sex the natives and create a new race to do the hard work, unlike british prudes

It can't be done so openly today, it isn't acceptable. But also not worth it, why would you want to directly control and have to deal with an entire other country? Just go set up a military base there for "security", and get a sweet deal or even free on the particular thing you want from that nation. That's what America does.
Oh and if you need to fight, do it via proxy under some guise of freedom fighting rebels.
Imperium Americanum soon frater
Depends what you call an empire, desu. Yes, there's no Empire in the traditional sense before.
>Russia
>America
America has military bases in pretty much every Ally state, and has basically used its economic clout to change foreign policy of other countries where they see fit. Propping up Israel/Invading Iraq/Invading Afghanistan/Iran sanctions/Supplying Saudi Arabia, the US' closest 'Ally' in the Middle East, with gunz n shit to fight turrism, definitely ignoring the fact that they're using them on people who are just against Saudi Interests. You could also say they pretty much have a Cultural empire on the rest of the world.
On the other hand, Russia invades Georgia, Crimea, and Syria, all to restore 'freedom' to Russian ethinc groups, or a system that favours them as a trading partner and ally. And it's not that the US didn't do that too - it's just that they're the only two relevant, independent powers on the planet that have the capability of exerting their power as much as they do. All the rest of the modern powers are basically cucked into backing the US, mostly.
The Chinese are trying to build an 'empire' of sorts in Asia, too. I imagine if this keeps up for another 15 years, we might see some Chinese 'liberations' in Vietnam and Singapore, too.
Sodam and Gomorrah was an airburst asteroid like the one that flattened part of Russia. The scientists have found parts of the ground turned to glass.

What do you think, is it plausible? Was it a natural cosmic occurrence or something which God set in motion?

Why not both?

What's the correct answer?
Schrodinger's trolley.
>>1168268
Im not sure I understand. Am I to assume that if I have the trolley hit the trolley inventor, that there is some damage to the timeline?
>>1168278
If you hit the trolley inventor then the trolley wouldn't exist causing a paradox since without a trolley he couldn't have died.
If you hit your grandfather you also cause a paradox because then you wouldn't exist to flip the switch.
/his/ does your country have any legendary sleeping king/hero waiting for the right time, in a time of need, to wake up and lead your country to a new golden age?

Here in huezil we have, or at least uses to have, Dom Sebastião some portuguese prince who went missing against the moroccans which led to the creation of the Iberian Union because he had no heir
Yes, St. Wenceslas. Of the carol fame.
I didn't know charlemagne was supposed to come back.
But it's been said that the Commune isn't dead.

Because liberal back then didn't mean what it means in the modern USA. In fact, in Europe it doesn't mean what it means in the modern USA either, liberals are in the right.
>>1168011
I've never heard napoleon described as a liberal in my entire life.
>>1168022
He expanded liberalism to pretty almost all europe.

I wish we could make this 100 years so we don't have to deal with communist subhumans, naziboos and all kinds WWII and Cold war retards.
>>1167864
The Cold War is fun though.
Really, the problem was japmoot slapping "and Humanities" to the history board.
>>1167864
But that causes us to miss out on all sorts of relevant humanities, anon. Ideology and philosophy changed a lot in the 20th century.

Are there any books or articles about how logical fallacies are wrong? People always say I use them when I argue with them like I'm automatically wrong, but it always seems like a dumb copout response.
>>1167811
how logical fallacies are wrong?
that doesn't make sense. but using a fallacy doesn't make you incorrect, it just means that your argument is invalid.

Or it's you who're bad at arguing and reasoning.

Get off reddit then.
Nobody I know uses "fallacy" spam. If anything just say "the fallacy fallacy dictates that fallacious reasoning does not make a conclusion false".
What's with the Palestinians who stayed in the west bank and Gaza, why didn't they just all move to Jordan like everyone else?
Not everyone likes Chicago.
Why didn't Jordan annex the west bank?
