Do dirty things in the name of holiness
Angelo 2021-12-08 08:01:46
In the Dark Middle Ages, politics and religion were united. Religious evil forces acted filthy in the name of the Lord. In order to maintain their rule, they used the policy of foolish people. Religion even claimed that only its own understanding of the Bible was orthodox. The rest were heretics. Generally illiterate, and the Bible is written in Latin. In the past, the rose was famous for its celebrity, but now people hold the name of only rose, and they do nasty things under the guise of holiness. By the way, it’s not difficult for an actor to be handsome for a while. There are really not many people who are as handsome as Sean Connery for a lifetime.
Extended Reading
-
William of Baskerville: [after finding the secret room of books in the tower] How many more rooms? Ah! How many more books? No one should be forbidden to consult these books freely.
Adso of Melk: Perhaps they are thought to be too precious, too fragile.
William of Baskerville: No, it's not that, Adso. It's because they often contain a wisdom that is different from ours and ideas that could encourage us to doubt the infallability of the word of God... And doubt, Adso, is the enemy of faith.

William of Baskerville: My venerable brother, there are many books that speak of comedy. Why does this one fill you with such fear?
Jorge de Burgos: Because it's by Aristotle.
William of Baskerville: [Chasing after Jorge who runs with the Second Book of Poetics by Aristotle intending to destroy it] But what is so alarming about laughter?
Jorge de Burgos: Laughter kills fear, and without fear there can be no faith because without fear of the Devil, there is no more need of God.
William of Baskerville: But you will not eliminate laughter by eliminating that book.
Jorge de Burgos: No, to be sure, laughter will remain the common man's recreation. But what will happen if, because of this book, learned men were to pronounce it admissable to laugh at everything? Can we laugh at God? The world would relapse into chaos! Therefore, I seal that which was not to be said.
[he eats the poisoned pages of the book]
Jorge de Burgos: In the tomb I become.
[he tosses the book at the candle, which ignites a fire that destroys all the books in the abbey tower]
