If the catholic church is not the true faith, why would God send Our Blessed Lady to Fatima to give us a message? Why would she ask for Catholic bishops to consecreate Russia to her Immaculate Heart, instead of asking Orthodox bishops?
Honest question, protestants need not apply

They will deny the miracles, in the same way they deny the saints. It's easier for them to pretend there is a huge catholic conspiracy.

To be clear, there actually is a catholic conspiracy: catholicism is a huge conspiracy of God, but it is open and doesn't work in the same way non-catholics think it does.

There's a Syriac account from the 7th century that mentions his name, so he was real. That's about all we can really be sure of. He's not all that different from Jesus in that regard.

So /his/ did king arthur exist ?
I read once that his story was based on a celtic king fighting against the angle invasions.
I read somewhere else that he could also have been a late roman warlord.
So is there any truth to this ?

He was an almost entirely mythological figure probably based on a historical Dumnonian warlord fucking the Saxon's shit up.
The grail legend was added much later, while things like the green knight and Excalibur on Welsh myths.

What do you like about the 18th century, /his/?
Personally, I don't understand the 18th century. I have no idea what happened and what the main themes and processes of the century were, and what makes it stand out as a distinct period.
If we're talking about 1600s, we have the advent of modernity, adoption of empiricism and the scientific method, creation and solidification of nation states, baroque.
In the 1800s we have nationalism, the industrial revolution, empires, romanticism.
The only things I can think of within the 18th century are Kant, the elevation of masonic societies and enlightenment and of course, the revolutions in France and America. But I don't see how they fit into the natural historical dialectic of the previous centuries. Enlightened monarchies were failed experiments, which didn't really work in this century either.
If we're talking about European high culture, to me it seems like a century of bland formalism and soul-killing pretensions of class and refinement which seem simply crass and tacky to me (vis. the pretty, anodyne colors and airbrushed feel of Rococo.) Even music of the classical period sounds a little too constrained and formalised to me.
In the East, we have the decomposition and decline of all the great Asian powers and the beginning of their fall to European colonialism (Ottoman Empire, China, etc)
We have Russia losing its old cultural identity to the Eurocentric whims of Peter I.
it seems like it was only Japan where this century was more or less stable and interesting.
Also I don't get the whacky, colorful military uniforms all the European powers adopted. It just looks stupid and impractical to me.
I am hoping someone can prove my stupid, uneducated self wrong on this subject.

Rococo is generally considered one of the worst styles in art-history. But the 18th century north American colonial history is very interesting and the 17th and 18th centuries saw the beginnings of truly modern that culminated in the Napoleonic era.
Peter I seemed like a really interesting character that was necessary for the survival and expansion of the Russian Empire, that being said, I do wish he had not existed and Sweden remained dominant in the Baltic.
>>
>>1106571
Peter's economic and military efforts were doubtless very expedient and efficient, and allowed Russia to overcome many obstacles and indeed prosper on the global arena, but his cultural eurocentric caprices led to the creation of a Europeanised upper class isolated and detached from their national roots, which led to a cultural schism between the upper and lower classes, which itself proved to be a major weakness in Russia's social order and a major target for the subversive efforts of socialist and communist parties.
Also it allowed the Russian ruling classes to get used to a quality of life enjoyed by the European elite, which forced them to spend more money than they could afford, because Russian agriculture could not provide the same yields as European agriculture.
The end result was a bloody revolution and and a bloody civil war 150 years later.
It could have been done better, and by far not all of Peter's policies were necessary.
>>
>>1106617
You keep using words like "Europe", "Eurocentric", and "Europeanized", and in all cases the appropriate thing to refer to is "western". Europe and Russia are not separate concepts and you will never understand their history to any significant extent if you maintain this silly modern "Russia OR Europe" dichotomy in your head.

What made this archaeological find so rare?
Just that the bodies were disposed of without being first stripped of their armor? If that was a result of hot weather causing the bodies to decompose -in Scandinavia- surly this happened elsewhere.
So is it more a matter of finding mass graves or that this burial was truly unique?

Would you be able to respond to these claims put across by Constantine regarding Aquinas and the legitimacy of his theology?
>Aquinas literally advocated idolatry of the cross (giving latria to it on grounds that it partakes of Christ's self), anyone who thinks he's a great theologian hasn't read him.
http://www.newadvent.org/summa/4025.htm#article4
>Yes, it places Aristotle as a higher source than the Church Fathers. For instance, there are many instances of the Church Fathers describing God in terms of energy-essence distinction: https://www.suscopts.org/q&a/index.php?qid=1246&catid=383
>However, the Scholastics redefine God as Actus Purus. This is wholly and only derived from Aristotle, it has ZERO precedent in Patristic writings.
Was this post in response any accurate?
>Wasnt that only reserved for the true cross and only to the blood of Christ upon it and not the wood itself? You make it sound like he thinks all crosses deserve latria.

Why is Marxism only embraced by young, middle class intellectuals? Why doesn't the working class act in their own self-interest?
