we think of the Catholic Church as this hegemonic entity that ruled Medieval Europe, and while that’s technically correct, it obscures a lot. like how organized religions can’t control human neuroses and how the Church’s thinking shifted over 1000 years www.spreaker.com/episode/when...

screenshot on a post that’s too long: “digging thru some dusty old tomes looking for something else and I find poor Niketas Choniates (who we've all read of course) writing about the "Fall of Constantinople" (which he calls by that name) to the Fourth Crusade in 1204 and he's so heartbroken and even comparing this fall to the Fall of Troy and he's so sad he can't help but mix his metaphors and, goddamnit, we really have always been exactly like this”

imagine fire is the most terrifying thing you can think of bc if it burns your corpse, your soul is permanently deleted from the afterlife but it’s also a war crime you cavalierly threaten against other city-states you’re warring with and then go thru with after defeating them. beast mode, honestly
