Why were the philosophes against the Catholic Church’s role in French politics?

1 answer:

7 0

he French Catholic Church, known as the Gallican Church, recognised the authority of the pope as head of the Roman Catholic Church but had negotiated certain liberties that privileged the authority of the French monarch, giving it a distinct national identity characterised by considerable autonomy. France’s population of 28 million was almost entirely Catholic, with full membership of the state denied to Protestant and Jewish minorities. Being French effectively meant being Catholic. Yet, by 1794, France’s churches and religious orders were closed down and religious worship suppressed. How did it come to this? What did revolutionaries hope to achieve? And why did Napoleon set out to reverse the situation?

How was the Great Pyramid made?

astra-53 [7]

Egyptologists believe the pyramid was built as a tomb for the Fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu (often Hellenized as "Cheops") and was constructed over a 20-year period. Khufu's vizier, Hemiunu (also called Hemon) is believed by some to be the architect of the Great Pyramid. The ancient Egyptians who built the pyramids may have been able to move massive stone blocks across the desert by wetting the sand in front of a contraption built to pull the heavy objects

wherein the bible does Jesus say I am god so worship me and give me an example of why Jesus is god and how do I dream of Jesus I

allsm [11]

Answer:

Jesus never said to worship him because he was God. He was God, but He gave people a choice, and that choice was to either have relationship with him or never find satisfaction. Jesus came to provide a way into Heaven, of which there was none for man before Jesus came. When he died on the cross he took away all the sin that had ever happened and experienced and forgave all that was yet to come. You should take comfort that Jesus already forgave you for sinning before you did it. We pray to ask forgiveness as a reminder that he cares about us. Jesus showed compassion and love towards every person he met in the bible, including murderers and prostitutes. The only time he got mad in the entire bible was when tax collectors had put up shop in the house of God and turned it into a house of greed. He cares. Getting baptized isn't a way to renew your soul. The water doesn't do anything. The act of getting baptized is a reminder that nothing but the blood that Jesus already spilt can save us. We should be humbled and joyed when we think of the security we were provided with thousands of years ago. I hope you know that I love you as a brother or sister of Christ and that you should try to remember that even Jesus loves the people you hate.
