[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] Brada-Anansi - You have to admit that I tried to give you a break. Lesson in life, there are always indicators when you are about to be "Left-out-to-dry". Please note: Wiki no longer says that Saint Maurice was the patron saint of the Holy Roman Empire - they USED to, but they no longer do so. Wiki: Saint Maurice Saint Maurice (also Moritz, Morris, or Mauritius) was the leader of the legendary Roman Theban Legion in the 3rd century, and one of the favorite and most widely venerated saints of that group. [b]He was the patron saint of several professions, locales, and kingdoms. He is also a highly revered saint in the Coptic Orthodox Church.[/b] Do you know WHY Wiki no longer says that? Undoubtedly it is because of people like me, who point out some "Uncomfortable" facts. The "Holy Roman Empire" had NOTHING TO DO WITH ROMANS! THEY WERE "FRANKS". The actual Romans - and the center of Roman Christianity - were in the Eastern Roman Empire, whose capital was Constantinople - You know, as in Constantine, the Roman Emperor who made Rome Christian! Funny, they never heard of this Saint Maurice guy. The Title "Holy Roman Empire" was totally the creation of Pope Leo III, who was pissed because Constantinople wouldn't or couldn't protect him. Thus he created a "NEW" western Roman Empire. But the Franks didn't play his game, they USED the Church like it was their toy - what cared they for some mythical Roman saint from anywhere? So you see Brada-Anansi, the Franks of the Holy Roman Empire, would not be seeding Europe with statues of a saint that they probably never even heard of. BTW Brada-Anansi, speaking to your intellect, so it really seems reasonable to you, that people would completely forget a Saint for about 1,000 years, and then suddenly remember him, make him the patron Saint of one of the worlds great Empires, and then seed his statues all over a continent. All of this for a Saint who was forgotten for over a thousand years? I know what the Albinos are selling, my question is, why are you trying to sell it too? [/QB][/QUOTE]
