In any case, the liberation of the Holy See from the shackles of the synagogue was a long and difficult task. The Jews who joined the Holy See saw Jesus as the savior prophesied by their ancient oracles, and revered him as virtuous and regent. Teachings of the Prophet's Mentors; But they stubbornly clinged to the rituals of their ancestors and tried to impose them on a growing number of non-Jewish believers. The arguments of the Jews who joined the Holy See on the basis that the Mosaic commandments originated with God and the eternal perfection of its great creator also have some credibility. They affirmed, first, that if God, who had remained unchanged in eternal time, intended to abolish the sacred ceremonies which had helped to distinguish his elect among the multitude, he would do so with the same clarity and seriousness as when he first proclaimed it: and second, not only should he not repeatedly declare, or assume, or affirm the sect of Moses. Religion is permanent, and it should be said that it is a temporary plan that applies only to the period before the coming of the Messiah, who will teach mankind a more perfect faith and religion. Third, the Messiah himself and his disciples who associate with him in the world should not only not set an example of themselves and observe the commandments of Moses with great difficulty, but should publicly announce to the world the abolition of the obsolete and useless rituals, so that the Holy See will not be confused with many denominations of the Jewish Church for so many years. Such arguments seem to have been used to justify the commandment of Moses, which was increasingly losing its raison d'être; But our learned clergy have gone to great lengths to explain the vague statements of the Old Testament and the unclear actions of the apostles. Here, we should gradually reveal the whole system of gospel doctrine and make judgments with great caution and tactfulness that are incompatible with both Jewish intentions and prejudices.

The history of the church in Jerusalem vividly demonstrates the need for such a precautionary measure. It also testifies to the deep impression that Judaism has produced in the ideas of its various denominations. The first 15 Jerusalem bishops were all circumcised Jews; The congregation they led completely combined the commandments of Moses with the teachings of the church. One was erected just 40 days after the church's death and had been active for many years under the direct supervision of his apostles. The primitive traditions of the Church will be seen as a banner of the Orthodox Holy See. That's a natural thing to do. Distant churches often turned to their venerable "mothers" and generously donated to relieve her distress. But when a large number of wealthy ecclesiastical groups were established in the major cities of the empire, Antiochus, Alexandria, Ephesus, Corinth, and Rome, the original respect for Jerusalem in the papal colonies was imperceptibly weakened. The Jewish converts, or Nazarenes, as they came to be called, who had laid the foundations of the church, soon found themselves surrounded by a growing congregation of the various denominations of polytheism that had come to the church under the banner of those who, with the consent of their special apostles, had freed themselves from Moses. The non-Jews, who had the unbearable burden of the ritual, finally refused to allow their more restrained co-religionists to share the tolerance they had fought so hard for for their activities. The destruction of Jewish temples, cities, and public churches. and made the people of Nazareth very sad; for they have always maintained intimate relations with their ungodly fellow human in their customs, though not in faith; As to the cause of the misfortune of their fellow citizens, the pagans thought it was due to the contempt of the supreme deity, while the papacies more appropriately said it was due to his wrath. The Nazarenes withdrew from the ruins of Jerusalem and came to the town of Pera on the East Bank of the Jordan River, where the ancient church spent more than 60 years in loneliness and desolation. They can still enjoy the joy of regular pilgrimage to the Holy City and hope that one day they will be able to rebuild these natures and sects. The Church taught them both to love and revere the hope of the temple. However. Finally under the rule of Hadrian, the Jews did not care about life and death. Religious fanaticism brought them great calamity; The Romans, enraged by their repeated rebellions, did not hesitate to exercise their victorious power with extraordinary severity. The emperor built a temple on Mount Sion called Elia. New Town in Capitolinea. and give it the privileges of a colony; He declared that any Jew who dared to approach the city would be punished severely, and placed a detachment of Roman infantry there to enforce the order. The Nazarenes now had only one way to circumvent the prohibition which was generally applicable to them, and here the influence of earthly interests strengthened the power of truth. They elected Marcus as their bishop. He was a high-ranking priest of a non-Jewish people, and was most likely born in Italy or some Latin province. Under his persuasion. The vast majority of the people in this diocese have renounced the Mosaic commandments they have practiced for more than a century. By voluntarily sacrificing old habits and prejudices, they were able to buy the right to freely enter Hadrian's colony. and to unite more firmly with the Orthodox Holy See.

When Mount Sion restored the fame and honor of the church in Jerusalem, the charges of heresy and division were imposed on the small remaining minority of unknown Nazarenes who refused to follow the Latin bishops. They kept their old dwelling in Pera, gradually expanded into villages around Damascus, and formed a small church in what is now called Aleppo in Syria, then known as Beroy. The title Nazarene was considered too noble for Jews who believed in the church, and they soon received the contemptuous name of Ibioni because they were considered intellectually inferior and poor. Years after the restoration of the church in Jerusalem, the question of whether a man who wholeheartedly confessed Jesus as Savior, but who continued to live the commandments of Moses, also had hope of salvation became a dubious and controversial issue. The martyr Justine, by virtue of his benevolent nature, answered this question in the affirmative; Although he was hesitant to say this, he decided to think about this incomplete church, saying that they could still be saved if they only practiced the various rituals of Moses themselves, but did not consider it to be universally used or needed to be promoted. However, when someone pressed to ask what the attitude of Justin's church was. He acknowledged that there were many in the Orthodox Church who excluded not only the Jewish brothers from the hope of salvation. And in the general social life of friends, mutual feasts, and social life, they also refuse to contact them. It can also be thought of by common sense. More intense opinions will inevitably prevail over some of the more moderate ones; So there was always a gulf between the believers of Moses and the believers of the church, which separated the two sects. The unfortunate Ibioni sect was taken by a sect. Religion is rejected as an apostate, while another sect is rejected. They also rejected them as heretics, which made them see that they had to take a clearer position; Thus, although some remnants of this dying denomination can be found as late as the fourth century C.E., it has in fact imperceptibly dissolved into the Holy See Church or the Jewish Church.

While the orthodox Holy See maintained a neutral attitude toward the commandments of Moses that was neither unduly respectful nor unwarrantedly despised for them, many heretical sects fell into the opposite extremes of equal and opposite extremes, the Ibionites based on the universally accepted truths of Judaism. assert that it can never be abolished. But the Gnostics, on the basis of their imaginary incompleteness, inferred equally lightly that it was never the product of God's wisdom. Some objections to the authority of Moses and the prophets are easily accepted by some skeptics. Although these opinions can only come from our views on distant ancient sects. Ignorance and our inability to make a correct judgment about God's arrangement. The false science of the Gnostics, upon hearing of these objections, was a treasure to be found, and it was equally impudent to publicize it. And since most of the heretics were opposed to sensual pleasures, they angrily rebuked the early bishops' polygamy, David's amorousness, and Solomon's inner palace, which was full of concubines. The conquest of the Canaanite lands and the extermination of the simple indigenous population did not know how to explain it in the context of normal humanity and the notion of justice. But when they think that almost every page of Jewish history is tainted by a series of bloody events of assassinations, executions, massacres. They have to admit that the barbarians of Palestine show no less sympathy for their idolatrous enemies than they do for their friends and compatriots. Leaving aside the different schools of the precepts, let's talk about the precepts themselves. They assert that a sect is only composed of bloody sacrifices and elaborate rituals, and that its rewards and punishments are purely physical and earthly in nature. Teachings can never arouse a heart for goodness or commit a person to restraining the impulse of lust. The Gnostics only blasphemously ridiculed Moses' claim that the God of Moses created humanity and that humanity had fallen into depravity. They say that God had a day of rest after six days of labor, all the way up to Adam's rib, the Garden of Eden, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge, the talking serpent, the forbidden fruit, and the punishment of all mankind for the minor sins of the first ancestors. They are impatient to listen. The Gnostics blasphemed the God of Israel as an impulsive and fallible spirit who was moody to man. Hatred is bitter hatred, and the superstitious worship of him is viewed with lowly jealousy, and one's own favoritism is applied only to one people, and is confined to a short earthly life. In such a case, they do not see where he has the characteristics of a wise and all-powerful Father of the universe. They admit that the sect of the Jews. Christianity is not as sinful as the idolatry of the non-Jews: but they are based on the fundamental belief that the churches which they worship as the first manifestation of the brightest splendor of God have come to earth to save mankind from their errors and to reveal to mankind a truth and a perfect new system. The most learned priest, bizarrely at the expense of his status, rashly accepted the sophistry of the Gnostics. Acknowledging that their statements are literally incompatible with any of the principles of faith and reason, they consider themselves safe behind a vast curtain of fables, and are not afraid of any attack, and thus openly spread them to all the parishes where Mosesism is weak.

It has long been pointed out in a novel but not necessarily credible way that in the time of Trajan or Hadrian, some 100 years after the death of the Church, the virgin innocence of the Church was never destroyed by schism or heresy. It is more appropriate to say that in that period followers of the Messiah enjoyed more freedom in both faith and practice than the ages that followed. Many of its most prestigious followers had become more and more prominent in the understanding of the sacrament and the spiritual influence exerted by the powerful sect had become harsher and harsher. When asked to give up his personal opinion, he is irritated and insists on his own opinion. They sought to reach the conclusion of their erroneous principles, and openly raised the banner of rebellion against the unity of the Church. The Gnostics have always been considered the most amiable, learned, and wealthy part of the people known as the papals; And this name shows the superiority of learning. It may be that they themselves have made it to themselves because of this pride, or it may have been imposed on them by their jealous rivals out of teasing. They were almost without exception non-Jewish peoples, and their main founders all seemed to be none other than Syrians or Egyptians, and the temperate climate of the place predisposed to lazy devotion to reverie both physically and mentally. The Gnostics mixed many lofty and obscure doctrines derived from Eastern philosophy, and even from Zoroastrianism, such as the eternity of matter, the existence of the double principle, and the mystical system of the priesthood of the invisible world, with faith in the church. As soon as they plunge into that great abyss, they are completely dominated by a chaotic imagination; And because the wrong path is inherently ever-changing and endless. They unwittingly divided into more than 50 sects, the most famous of which were the Basilidians, the Valentinians, the Massionians, and later the Manichaeans. Each denomination can boast of its bishops and congregations, physicians and martyrs; These heretical sects ignore the four Gospels adopted by the church, but write their own histories, arranging the words and deeds of the church and the twelve apostles according to the needs of their respective doctrines. The Gnostics soon found success on a wide scale. Their sects spread throughout Asia and Egypt, and were also established in Rome, and for a time even as far as the western provinces. Most of them arose in the 1st century and prevailed in the 3rd century, while in the 4th or 5th century they were suppressed by the popularity of more fashionable arguments and the rise of government power. Although they often disturb the sect. Teach peace within the church. Insult Sect. The reputation of the Church, but they actually help, not hinder, the development of the Holy See. Those who were not Jewish believers, although they had a strong antipathy and prejudice against the Mosaic commandments. But it is still possible to join many papal denominations that do not require any pre-inspired belief in their unenlightened minds. Their faith was imperceptibly strengthened and expanded, and the Church passed through the conquest of many of its most stubborn adversaries. In the end, there is always something to be gained.

But neither in the matter of divinity or responsibility regarding the commandments of Moses. What a great difference of opinion there was between the Orthodox Curia, the Ibionians, and the Gnostics, all of whom were equally motivated by an exclusive fanaticism and an abhorrence of idolatry. And this idolatry was what set the Jews apart from the other peoples of the ancient world. The philosopher, who regards the polytheistic system as the product of a combination of human deception and fallacy, can hide a smile of contempt under a veneer of piety, without fear that such mockery or obedience will expose him to the hatred of any kind of unseen, or, as he understands, imaginary divine power. But the establishment of paganism was even more disgusting and terrible in the eyes of the primitive papal see. There is a prevailing sentiment throughout the church and among many heretical sects that the devil is the creator and protector of idolatry, as well as the object of its worship. The rebellious gods, though they have lost their status as angels and have been cast into hell, can still wander around the world, tormenting the bodies of sinful people and confusing their minds. The devils soon discovered that the human heart was naturally inclined to believe in gods, and they went to great lengths to destroy it, skillfully eliminating the worship of their creator and usurping the supreme position and honor of the supreme god. As a result of the success of his wicked scheme, they were at once satisfied with their vanity and vengeance, and with the only consolation he still longed for: the hope of involving the nations of mankind in their sins and misery. It has been openly stated, or at least generally assumed, that the devil has divided some of the leading roles in polytheism between themselves: one with the name and characteristics of Jupiter, another as Aeschylapius, the third as Venus, and the fourth, perhaps Apollo; And with their long experience and temperament that comes and goes, they are fully capable of playing the role they hold with skillful skill and solemnity. They lurked in the temples, founded festivals and rituals, invented myths, and issued oracles. Miracles can often be performed. Some of the Holy See, possessed by evil gods, are ready to explain all the absurdities, and they are all willing to do so. I wish I could believe even the most absurd stories of pagan mythology. But such a belief of a papacy is accompanied by terror. Because of the sect of a nation. The slightest reverence shown by the church will also be seen as an expression of direct worship of the devil and an affront to the dignity of God.

Because of this opinion, it became the first but rather arduous duty of a papacy to seek to keep his purity untainted by idolatry. Sects of all nationalities. Religion is not simply an abstract creed to be practiced in schools or preached in temples. The myriad deities and rituals of polytheism are intimately intertwined with work, recreation, and public and private life in all situations; To avoid all contact with them altogether, and at the same time not to give up all human intercourse, as well as all social duties and entertainments. It seems impossible. Major decisions concerning war and peace are solemnly honored before or after the event, and must be attended by the Administrator, the Governor, the Elders and the Soldiers. Public festivities were an important part of the pagan merry worship, and the various competitions held by the emperor and the people to celebrate the special feast of a particular god were regarded as the best sacrifices that the gods would accept. A papacy who, out of fear of God, avoids the disgusting arena or the theater, finds himself surrounded by a terrible trap at all the feasts of joy, for everywhere his friends are calling the gods of mercy and drinking to bless one another. When a bride pretends to struggle and refuses to go out, forced to cross the threshold of her new home in a grand wedding. Or when a miserable funeral procession is slowly marching towards the cremation pile, a papacy is forced to leave his most beloved relatives on such a very interesting occasion, and he is not willing to be tainted with the sins that come with the cult rituals. Any technique or trade that has the slightest connection with the production or decoration of idols is an evil idolatry; This is a harsh sentence. This would lead to the eternal misery of the vast majority of people in society who work in freelance or craft trades. If we look at the many ancient ruins, we will perceive beyond the direct representation of the gods and the sacred vessels used to worship him. The beautiful images and moving stories that the Greeks produced in their imagination for the devotion of the gods began with the most ornate decorations on pagan houses, clothes, and furniture. Even the art of music and painting, as well as the art of eloquence and poetry, all come from the same source that has nothing to do with the gods. In the pen of the priests. Apollo and Muse are the mouthpieces of the elves of hell; Homer and Virgil were its finest servants; And the myths of beauty, which are full of their genius and make them vivid and powerful, are destined to be used only to praise the glorious deeds of the devil. Even the plain language of Greece and Rome is full of familiar profanities, and a careless papacy may accidentally blurt it out, or hear it without paying attention.

This temptation, which lurks everywhere and the danger of an attack on unsuspecting believers, is redoubled in force on solemn feasts. Throughout the year, they are so cleverly combined and configured that the superstitious activity is often entertaining, and often has the appearance of a good deed. The Zong of Rome. Some of the most sacred programs in the rituals are designed to celebrate the New Year and bless public and private life; Mourn the dead before God and remember the living; determining the boundaries of inviolable property; When the earth returns in spring, pray to God to bless the abundant crops; Signifies the foundation of the city of Rome and recoup. and the establishment of the country in these two important years, never forget; and the restoration of primitive human equality at a time when everyone was in a carnival on Saturnalia. Judging by the hesitation and reserve with which the papacies would have shown on far less than such astonishing occasions, it is conceivable here that they have shown great concern for this kind of blasphemy. Teach how the ritual is deeply hated. In ordinary festivals, it was customary for ancient people to decorate their gates with lanterns and cinnamon branches, and to wear garlands on their heads. This harmless and elegant custom may have been tolerated as a folk tradition. Unfortunately, however, the gate was under the protection of the god of the house, the laurel branch was a sacred object for worshippers of the goddess laurel, and the wreath, although often worn on the head as a symbol of joy or mourning, was first used in the rituals of superstitious activities. The trembling papacies, who are persuaded to submit to the customs of their country and to obey the orders of the chief executive, are always in fear of being condemned by their own conscience, rebuked by the Church, and punished by God's abandonment.

This is to preserve the purity of gospel doctrine. It is indispensable to be untainted by idolatry, and to be constantly vigilant. Some old traditions in superstitious rituals that take place in public or in private. Those who have been established. Followers of the Church, due to the influence of education and habits. It has been pursued carelessly. But whenever they did, they gave the papacies an opportunity to openly express and reaffirm their fierce opposition. Through these frequent protests, their steadfastness to their faith has been strengthened; And with this sect. As their fervor increases, they will be able to carry out the holy war against the Devil's Empire with greater power and achieve greater victory.

On the question of the immortality of the soul, Cicero portrayed the ignorance, fallacy, and confusion of the ancient philosophers in the most vivid way in his writings. If they wanted to free their disciples from the fear of death, they told them a very obvious but somewhat tragic truth: the final liberation of human life is actually the relief of the suffering of life; Those who no longer exist will no longer have any suffering. But there were also a few Greek and Roman wise men who had a more sublime view of human nature. And in some ways it is also more correctly understood; Though we must also admit that, in this sublime quest, their intellect is often swayed by their imagination, which in turn is motivated by their vanity. When they see the extent of their intellect so vast and complacent, when they exert all their faculties for memory, imagination, and judgment vigorously in the most profound contemplation or the most important work, when they think of their painstaking pursuit of a fame that transcends the boundaries of death and grave, and that is enduring and famous, they do not wish to regard themselves as nothing less than the beast of the field, or a creature whom they have always admired for their nobility. It can only be confined to the feet of soil and a few years. With this wishful thinking, they turn to the science of metaphysics, or rather the language of metaphysics. They soon discovered that since there was no property of matter that could be applied to mental activity, then. The human soul is necessarily a completely different entity from the body, it is pure, simple, and exists only as a spirit, which cannot be dissolved. And when you are freed from the confines of the body, you will be able to feel higher virtues and happiness. From these speciously lofty principles. The philosophers who followed in Plato's footsteps came to a very unreasonable conclusion, because they not only affirmed that the human soul would live forever. And the past has endured, so that they can easily see the human soul as part of the infinite spirit that pervades and sustains the whole universe. Such a doctrine that is divorced from human senses and experience also makes Zhou Yuna think that a person with a philosophical mind can relax and relieve boredom; Or, in the midst of loneliness and boredom, it can sometimes bring a little comfort to a low mind; However, the faint impression that people get when they study is quickly eroded by real-life affairs and interactions. We know very well that the famous men who lived in the days of Cicero and the first Caesars, including their deeds, their character, and their motives, allow us to conclude that their actions in the life of the world were never entirely taken into account by a serious belief that there would be a reward or punishment after death. The most capable orators, at the Roman court and in the Senate, feared nothing to arouse the disgust of their hearers, and openly exposed this doctrine as pure absurd nonsense, and said that it had long since been rejected by every enlightened and sober-minded man.

Therefore, since the noblest endeavour of philosophy is to point out only vaguely to men that there is a desire, a desire, or at the most the possibility of its existence for the world to come, there is nothing but divine revelation to affirm the existence of that invisible world, to which all souls detached from the body are said to go, and to describe its specific condition. But we can see the folk sects of Greece and Rome. Religion also has some inherent shortcomings that make it difficult for it to shoulder its own responsibilities. 1. The whole system of their myths does not have a single conclusive and solid scaffold; The wisest of the pagans has long since denied the authority it has stolen. 2. The descriptions of hell have long been left to the fantasies of painters and poets, who have placed in them many ghosts and demons, and whose rewards and punishments have been so unjust that a serious truth, which is most dear to the human heart, has been suppressed and tarnished by a jumble of fantasies. 3. The devout polytheists of Greece and Rome also seldom regarded doctrine of afterlife as a basic creed. The will of the gods. In terms of its relationship with the public society rather than with the private, it is mainly manifested on the visible stage of this world. The desire of people to pray at the altars of Jupiter or Apollo makes it clear that their worshippers are concerned only with the happiness of this world. As for the life in the afterlife, they either have no knowledge or no interest. The important truth about the immortality of the soul. In India, Assyria, Egypt and Gaul, it has been preached with great success; But since we cannot attribute this distinction to the transcendent knowledge of the savages, we can only attribute it to the influence of an established priesthood that uses moral motives as an instrument for advancing human ambition.

It may be natural for us to think that a pair of sects. The gods should have made it clear to the Palestinian elect in unequivocal terms, and perhaps undoubtedly entrusted it to Aaron's hereditary priesthood. When we find that there is no such thing as the immortality of the soul in the commandments of Moses, we can only praise the mystical arrangement of providence; on this issue. The prophets were secretive; And in the long years from the enslavement of the Egyptians to the enslavement of the Babylonians, the hopes and fears of the Jews always seemed to be confined to the narrow confines of life in this world. After Cyrus allowed the exiled people to return to the Land of Hope, and after Ezra reinstated their sect. After the ancient records of the Church, two well-known sects appeared in Jerusalem, the Sadducees and the Pharisees. The members of the former, who were mostly from the more noble and wealthy families of society, strictly followed the express provisions of the Mosaic commandments, and reverently refused to acknowledge the immortality of the soul, because the holy books they held up as the only criterion for their faith did not affirm it. The Pharisees, on the other hand, added authoritative traditions to the Bible. In the name of tradition, they have adopted some of the philosophies or sects of the Eastern peoples. Teach a dogma of pure reasoning. Thus the doctrine of fate or fatalism, angels and spirits, and rewards or punishments after death were included in the new creed; And because of the seriousness of the Pharisees. The Jewish community had long since been incorporated into their sect, and the idea of the immortality of the soul thus became a common sentiment in Judaism during the reign of the rulers and high priests of the House of Asmone. Let the Jews be content to show a kind of indifference in order to satisfy the polytheists. consent without emotion, which is incompatible with their character; And once they admit that there is an idea of an afterlife. They will worship with all their might with the zeal with which they have always regarded their whole national character. Their fanaticism, though, does not add credibility to it. It does not even strengthen the possibility of its existence: therefore, this doctrine of life and eternal life, which is provided by nature, endorsed by reason, and accepted by superstition, must still rely on the authority and example of the church to affirm its divine truth.

Now it is proposed to mankind that eternal happiness is guaranteed by accepting the faith of the Evangelical Church and observing its dogma. It is not at all surprising that a large number of people in all classes, in all provinces, have embraced it. The ancient papacies, motivated by their contempt for the life of the world, naturally believed in the immortality of the soul, but the suspicious and incomplete faith of modern times does not give us any adequate conception of this. In the primitive papal church, the influence of truth was greatly strengthened by an opinion which, however worthy of our respect may be of practical value and antiquity, is incompatible with practical experience. It was widely believed that the end of the world and the kingdom of heaven were at hand. The apostles had already prophesied about the imminent occurrence of this marvelous event, and that it had been preserved by their earliest believers, and those who could understand every word of the church's own words had to hope that the "Son of Man" would appear in the clouds in a second splendor before the complete death of the generation that had seen the church wander into the world and could still bear witness to the suffering of the Jews under Weberian or Hadrian. The 17th century of change has taught us not to delve too far into mystical prophecies and revelations; But as long as we allow this error to continue in the Church for wise purposes, it will have a very beneficial effect on the faith and practice of the Holy See, who will always look forward with great awe to a new hour when the whole earth and all human races will tremble before their holy Judge.

The theory of the thousand-year prosperity that was widely popular among the people in ancient times is closely related to the second coming of the church. Since the creation of the world was done in six days, the length of these six days, according to tradition that is said to have originated with the prophet Elijah, should be 6,000 years. By extrapolating in this same proportion, we can know that this long period of labor and competition is now almost over, and that 1,000 years of joy and rest will follow; At that time, the church will bring with it a large group of saints of complete merit and a few who have escaped death or miraculously been resurrected, and will rule the world until the day when all mankind will be resurrected. This hope was so overwhelming to the delight of the believers that the New Jerusalem, the seat of the blessed kingdom of heaven, was soon decorated in the lightest colors imaginable. But this happiness, which is only pure spiritual joy, seems too high for the inhabitants of this place, who still seem to have human nature and feelings. A Garden of Eden, full of the joys of idyllic life, was no longer suitable for the advanced social life that had become prevalent in the Roman Empire. So a city of gold and precious stones was built, and the nearby suburbs were to be surrealistically filled with grain and wine; The happy, virtuous people of the place, while freely enjoying the goods that have fallen from heaven, will never be restricted by any law that protects private property. This assertion of the inevitability of a thousand years has been repeated by generations of priests, from the martyrs Justian and Irinaeus, who had personally interacted with the disciples of the apostles, to Actantius, who served as the mentor of Constantine's son. Although this statement may not be universally accepted, it seems that among orthodox papalaticans it has always been the dominant idea; Moreover, it seems to coincide with the hopes and fears of mankind, and thus must have contributed to the development of the faith of the Holy See to a great extent. However, as the vast structure of the Holy See was nearing completion, this temporary support was thrown aside. The argument that the church itself governs the world was initially regarded as a mystical allegory, then as a dubious and useless opinion, and eventually as a heresy and sect. The absurdity of the teaching fanatics was abandoned. It was a mystical prophecy that still forms part of the Divine Doctrine today, but it was also thought to be in favor of the debunked mind, and thus has narrowly escaped the fate of being forbidden by the Church.
