It was precisely these various factors that ultimately led to the rapid development and growth of the Pope and the Church in the current Middle Ages, becoming the pillar and even the largest feudal lord of Western European feudal society.

But what will be the final result of this situation? In fact, haven’t we conducted a very systematic analysis before? Whether it is that all people’s thoughts have been completely brainwashed, or the development process of the entire human history has stagnated, it may even bring about

More serious retreat situations, etc., these results are very terrible.

Among all these situations, another situation arises, that is, if a new king or emperor of a certain country does not like to be extravagant and lustful, but is determined to serve the entire country.

What do the people do to reflect another kind of value in this world? At this point, this will lead to disagreements with the entire church and even the most supreme Pope. The consequences are very serious. Before, we were not proportional.

As mentioned by Einstein, and even Darwin, there are actually people who have been against the Pope since ancient times. The Pope’s brainwashing is certainly powerful, but the forces of nature, and even more lofty values ​​of life, actually have their own ideas. Many times

It’s not like the Pope, a real ordinary person, can compete with him.

Now let's analyze it more carefully. At this time, when the Pope has truly reached the supreme position, some people have already begun to oppose the Pope. Of course, the nobles and rich people of the Roman Empire have also opposed the Pope before.

, didn’t he get kicked out of the church? He was finally rescued by Charlemagne, and now let’s take a look at other people who opposed the Pope.

In medieval Europe during this period, the appointment and dismissal power of each country was originally in the hands of the emperor or king of each country, and the Roman Pope had no right to interfere. In this regard, the Holy See believed that they were so great and supreme, so they could not

I am very dissatisfied with the appointment and dismissal of high-level officials in various countries, and I always want to change this situation.

So in 1056, Henry, who was only six years old, ascended the throne of the German Emperor. He was also Henry IV. At this time, the Holy See in Rome bullied Henry IV because of his young age, and took the opportunity to oppose the appointment and dismissal of bishops by the German Emperor.

In this way, Henry IV exploited the power of the German emperor. Because Henry IV was too young, he was no match for the Holy See. In addition, almost everyone in Germany believed in Christianity, so Henry IV really had no choice.

No.

In 1073, the newly elected Pope Gregory VII issued a papal decree, declaring that the pope's power was above all else. He could not only appoint and remove bishops, but also punish, judge, and appoint emperors and kings, but no one could

Trial of the Pope. This situation caused the emperors and kings of various Western European countries to be dissatisfied, but because they were afraid of the powerful power of the Pope, they had no choice but to express their approval, because if these emperors and kings did not approve, the Pope would use his power

It comes hard, that is, a bloody war. Once a war breaks out, the consequences will definitely be detrimental to the emperors and kings of various countries. They have no chance of victory.

So when Henry IV was twenty-three years old, he was young and vigorous and could no longer bear the restrictions imposed on him by the devil, the Pope, and then a fierce conflict broke out between the Pope and the emperor's royal power!

In 1075, Henry IV directly ignored the Pope's prohibition against kings appointing and dismissing bishops, and appointed many bishops from Germany. In other words, Henry IV appointed their own Germans as bishops, who had previously been sent by the Pope.

People in order to achieve the purpose of controlling various countries, and Henry IV's approach must have persecuted the interests of the Pope and even the entire Holy See. Therefore, after the Pope learned about it, he wrote a letter to Henry IV, asking Henry to

The Fourth immediately revoked his German appointment and had to write a letter of repentance to him, otherwise he would be excommunicated.

Henry IV simply ignored this and convened a religious conference to announce the deposed Pope. When the Pope found out about this, he was very angry and immediately excommunicated Henry IV and deprived him of the title of German Emperor.

Qualifications, and called on Germans and various countries in Western Europe to oppose Henry IV. Therefore, some nobles and clergy in Germany who were opposed to Henry IV all stood up and demanded that Henry IV immediately give up his position as German Emperor.

, and then declared allegiance to the Pope, and had to seek a pardon from the Pope within one year, otherwise Henry IV would be deprived of his status as emperor by force.

At this time, various kings and emperors in Western Europe also saw the power of the Pope, so they expressed their support for the Pope. The Pope is the most supreme existence and the only incarnation of God in our human world, so they also expressed their opposition to Henry IV.

, so this eventually caused Henry IV to fall into a situation where he was besieged on all sides. Soon after, Henry IV heard an even more unfortunate news: The Pope had arrived at the Castle of Canossa in northern Italy at this time, waiting for the Germans

The nobles who opposed Henry sent troops to pick him up, and then went to attend the meeting to punish Henry IV.

Then Henry IV analyzed his current situation very calmly and felt that he had no ability to compete with the Pope. The most important thing now was to quickly keep his throne.

So Henry IV finally made a decision. In January 1077, Henry IV took his wife, children and several nobles to the Castle of Canossa to apologize to the Pope and beg for mercy. It was snowing heavily at this time,

There was a freezing scene everywhere, the cold wind howled, and the dripping water turned into ice. Henry IV and others crossed the Alps with great difficulty, and finally arrived at the Castle of Canossa. According to the regulations of apology at this time, Henry IV

He took off his fur hat, coat and boots, put on a linen garment for penitent sinners, knelt in the snow outside the castle, and then lowered his head to confess to the Pope.

For three consecutive days, Henry IV was shivering in the ice and snow, crying and expressing his sincere repentance to the Pope. It was not until the fourth day that the Pope reluctantly received Henry IV.

Looking at Henry IV who was kneeling on the ground at this time, the Pope was still angry. So the Pope snorted coldly, and then said: I have excommunicated you, haven't you already deposed me and called me a monk?

?Then what are you doing here?

Henry IV was frightened by the Pope's question at this time, and said with fear: Dear Pope, I have admitted my mistake. I came here specially to confess to you. Please forgive me for my ignorance and arrogance.

Please forgive me. I have revoked the order that offended you and wrote a pledge of obedience to you. Please read it. After saying that, Henry took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to him tremblingly.

pope.

The Pope was a little satisfied when he saw this, and the bishops and nobles present also expressed their willingness to testify for Henry IV. Henry IV wrote an oath on the spot, saying that he would always be loyal to God and the Pope. So far.

The Pope then sneered with satisfaction and restored Henry IV's religious membership. Then Henry IV left the Castle of Canossa and returned to Germany. In the entire West, the trip to Canossa was actually a complete surrender to the Pope.

A synonym for surrender.

It's a pity that there is no other way to surrender? From here, it is not difficult to see that even the lofty German emperor, his emperor's position is a matter of a word from the Roman Pope, and the Roman Pope has been expanding in various ways throughout the ages.

The power of their own Holy See brainwashes everyone in various ways, and even exploits all civilians in various ways. So from this point of view, the Pope is definitely the definition of devil in our human minds.

If the Pope is God in the hearts of people in Western countries, then I can make a stupid definition. From this aspect, then God is actually the devil! And he is a living devil! Because what we have talked about so far is just

It is just the tip of the huge iceberg of the Holy See, and it is just this little thing that is so outrageous, so other things can definitely subvert our three views of human beings' understanding of God.

But now let’s not worry about whether this definition is correct, because this is just my personal opinion and does not represent any academic field, so let’s continue to look at Henry IV. After Henry IV returned to Germany, he immediately

We have to endure hardships. We must absolutely believe that in our world, even snakes, insects, rats, and ants will take revenge if we bully them, not to mention that Henry IV is still a human being, even the emperor of Germany.

So the Pope thinks that he is the supreme, the real God, and even the real God has to listen to him! But does the Pope really understand who the Germans are? Germany is actually very outrageous. Let’s think about it carefully.

When we talked about the split of the Holy Roman Empire into three parts, did we mention Germany? In fact, that’s right. In the subconscious mind of the Germans, there are actually memories of the Romans in the past. What were the Romans like in the past?

We don’t need to explain it anymore, right? The city of Rome was founded by a group of thieves, vagabonds, swindlers, etc.

So far, the Germans have completely inherited all the violence and bloodiness. How can a pope use his inexplicable power to obliterate them? The Germans have the violence and bloodiness of the Romans in their memory!

What's more, as we said before, Henry IV was still an emperor!

So now Henry IV is working hard to take advantage of the situation. No matter how we analyze it, it is the Pope who has obviously made things worse this time! It is not difficult to imagine that Henry IV is working hard to take advantage of the situation in order to carry out crazy revenge. This kind of revenge cannot even be thought of.
