Why didn't God protect the city in 1204?

Ignoring how it's just a phrase and not something we can know as factual...
The term came about when Constantinople was part of the true church. By 1204 they stopped being part of the true church.

God needs to kek every so often to replenish his reserves.
One day the emperor will arise from the mountains and reclaim his Empire.

Is there a school of theology this comes from? Where Greco Roman is actually the real Judea Christian?
Gnosticism maybe?

>>2288571
no i just made it up, buit it seems kind of obvious when you compare christian conceptions of gods and saints with helleno-roman conceptions of their gods and spirits. obviously you need some continuity for the plebs to buy into the new brand of koolaid.

Well, she rested in the hippodrome for a while until she fell asleep. She woke up, in 1453, and as she thought the crusaders where still trying to take the city, she rampaged her way to the walls and wreaked havoc until she was knocked out by friendly fire from orban's cannon. Legend has it she'll wake up again in 2023
