It went to shit because people gave in to those desires and stopped being faithful
They became materialistic
And?
Materialism naturally leads to Hedonism, and then to things that we're starting to see today
So what does this have to do with me being a pagan
Paganism is a rejection of God, and has no meaningful Theological basis
It will only encourage materialism
Spoken like a true papist
Any spiritualism is counter to materialism
whether christian or heathen, truthful or not
An admittance of the importance of immaterial things is a rejection of materialism
Paganism directly concurs with materialism because it is based upon physical/material might.
Because Christianity has never been about that
Literally never has
That's why the Vatican is very humble and toned down
And Martin Luther never protested the decandance or wealth of the church
Neither did Jan Hus
Nah Vatican is materialistic as fuck. They constantly change the Bible to fit their wants of man, rather than the needs of god.
I don’t even deny that.
Most Catholics pretty much hate the Vatican i can say that
It’s been infested by Jews. The only churches that aren’t materialistic are Orthodox Christians and maybe some Baptists.
Along with some Catholics here and there
You're right Constantinople was never a city of decandance
Yup
Never was
God bless Constantinople. May the last of the Constantines rest in eternal glory and peace.
It's not like the Byzantines spent the remainder of their existence tearing themselves apart as the other European powers treated them relic
Because they were
What?
You’re just pulling shit out of your ass now
Throwing it like a damn ape

There's a reason the turks rolled them
>Most were by Jews, Barbarians, and other outside forces
Not surprising in the least
In any case that doesn’t make the state inherently materialistic
The state was deeply Christian. That is a fact.
What the fuck are you talking about it was the centre of trade in the east
Of course it was decadent
Having good trade doesn’t make you materialistic
You absolute retard
