So
Eh, I can see it going too far with it later on
Again, I am withholding further judgment for time being, considering that we have seen only a small portion of it
is the zootopia abortion comic too spicy for this server?
The heck
I'm less familiar specifically with how it operated in romania, but in elsewhere, the church tended to be pretty tolerant of scientists and such. The main ones who the church came down on, it was more a consequence of something equivalent to insubordination, rather than any specific thing they said regarding the natural world.
Funny thing though, medical knowledge known since paganism in the area was tolerated while knowledge from ancient greece and rome were not
Wallachia was literally the frontline against Turkish invasion at that point in time
Like, making assertions that theories which didn't conform to canon were absolutely and indisputably true, while mocking the pope, and calling him a stupid head.
Though the 4 humors were still practiced as the church approved of it
Publicly
By contrast, elsewhere, Europe was actually opening up more to alternative ideas, science and the like at the time
They didn't have to fight Turks
And even then, they didn't generally *burn* the books containing those theories. Because they were still fascinating and useful, even while punishing the people who made them for defying the church.
Not true
Yeah, and the late 15th century and early 16th is when the Italian Renaissance got into swing
Ideas began taking route
Book burnings are responsible for great loss of knowledge during the proverbial dark ages
I mean
The Catholics burnt _people_ for such during the Catholic-Protestant wars
are we still discussing Castlevania?
Kinda
They locked people up for suggesting the universe was infinite and didn't revolve around the earth
Which specific examples are you using?
Some fag named Bruno
Because some are often misinformed. There's generally a lot of nuance involved. Lot of political stuff going on, power struggles.
And as I said, there are many heretical works which they nevertheless preserved in the Vatican archives.
>The universe is infinite
>Challenges political power
What
No, there's other shit these people often did.
In Castlevania it's summarized simply as, in that iteration of the story, that yes the Catholic church in all of them is indeed the "badguy" who typically starts shit with dracula. The Generic basics though is that the Monster hunting order was literally wiped out by dracula. The Belmonts, on the other hand, were family friends of dracula before he became dracula in the original and only killed dracula for killing belmont's bride to be.
In the reboots, dracula was a belmont who became a vampire after killing the lords of darkness and the family kept it a secret and kills vampires and monsters in a fictional world where they're labeled as heretics for acknowledging their existence.
Tl:dr - in all castlevania's the catholic church are backstabbing pricks
Like instances of them being a total sperg, and insulting the church directly when cautioned not assert their models as proven truth.
and the setting is "Advanced" medieval europe due to the scavenging and use of Dracula's advanced technology he gained through a mix of Occultism and advanced mathematics
only in the sense of Dracula's shit though
@KaiserDoom we're talking the netflix show
You could get away with quite a lot, as long as you didn't frame your theories as "this is how things are" and instead as "hey, here's an interesting idea, and I think it's consistent with observations"
Netflix show wise, its a blend of the original story and the reboots lore wise
except in this case, dracula goes on a rampage for his wife being directly killed by the church rather than satan.
Well
Almost same premise for the 2nd castlevania reboot
In the Netflix one he was never a friend nor a belmontand the church drove the belmonts out
_Especially_ considering that demon's speech to the bishop
That's old canon
