The Pope would want people to live
Not necessarily
Yes
sometimes they want more, sometimes less..
The black death not only destroyed feudalism but also the Papacy
By shifting the balance of powers to the king and the towns
I believe they were thinking fairly long term...
Since the black death was the Protestant reformation and absolutism
yes
In other countries religious institutions still rule
it was a major transition and i believe it was designed
They are really bad at it then because the Papacy has no power
the reformation introduced iatrochemistry on a large scale... the foundations of modern medicine
suddenly everything that came out of a mine could be sold as medicine, because the "tag along" of the reformation was empirical medicine vs worshipping Galen and etc
which practically speaking meant that they introduced mercury, arsenic, etc etc as primary treatments alongside venesection
So?
What does this have to do with the Black Death being a conspiracy perpetrated by the pope
Well the black death was just a more extreme form "population regulation"
You know what
DM me
This is gonna take a while
lol right
The black death was more extreme from the closely populated cities and conditions of the time.
Including the fact that they believed that cats and dogs were the cause.
Fleas u know
Well thats how we got the rat theory eh
So they went on to kill about 200000 dogs n cats
Kek
which didnt work
the rats would flee their subterranean dens.... the black death effected animals as well. rats and small mammals were the first to go
You wanna take this to vc
also the theory of jews poisoning the wells was a strong theory
and "miasma"
there were actually orchestrated groups who set out to spread plague
which was disproven by john snow
google the book " plague spreading conspiracies in the alps"... its court records
about a plague by a ranking medical officer to spread plague in order to keep his "plague hospital contract" going
and etc etc
Hamburger I'll chat wif you in a minute
gonna munch back in 20
